STRESS MANAGEMENT
'MOVING THROUGH STRESS & CONFLICT'
STRESS BUSTING T'AI CHI WORKSHOPS
with MIKE TABRETT
In modern life stress has become a major problem for most of us. The build up of stress can increase illness, reduce energy and mar our ability to work efficiently and cope with problems that we meet with in our daily lives
T'ai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung use simple techniques to enable us to release tension and increase our efficiency in stressful situations.
By gently encouraging an awareness of breathing and posture we are able to calm our minds and relax our bodies.
Once we have experienced this centred state it becomes easier to access when we most need it. Gradually we find we are less susceptible to stressful situations and more able to deal positively with the conflict that often accompanies[panties them.
MOVING THROUGH STRESS AND CONFLICT
These seminars offer a chance to experience and develop these centering skills and are available by arrangement with Mike Tabrett.
Although these ancient arts are usually seen as long term practises the day is intended to be complete in itself; the insights gained can be utilised by participants in whatever form is useful to them, enabling them to be combined with other methods of stress management and conflict resolution and integrated in to each individuals life.
A typical seminar includes:
Simple methods to help identify and relieve stress.
An opportunity to learn a small number of key exercises that will help participants understand basic principles of relaxation, stress relief, centering and meditation.
A chance to understand the basic philosophy underpinning these practises.
Gentle partnerwork to enable us to begin to see how these principles may be taken in to our daily lives.
The day will be aimed at people with no previous experience and is intended in itself to be a pleasant, relaxing and stress free experience; no assumptions will be made about physical or other ability. The course is accompanied by a short booklet to remind participants of material covered.
Short follow up sessions can be arranged to reinforce the benefits of the seminars
