Light of Mind

We are often asked about options for training in group MANTRA (Maudsley Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults). Upcoming dates available with the amazing Helen Startup and Mary Franklin-Smith @lightofmind12

Sending love & peace to all this Sunday morning. Beyond personal thought is a beautifully wise universe mind, it’s so gorgeous to drop into that shared space 2day and rest easy there. It’s been busy in my little reality recently. Remembering rest and acceptance is everything 😅

@wendyburn @AKousoulis IMHO I think you r on to something here. It looks to me that our directed focus on diagnosis and the ‘problem’ keeps our MH services looking more @ Mental illness than mental health. Would absolutely love to share my thoughts on this further @munro_sara

@AKousoulis All the NICE treatment pathways are based on diagnoses. Should we just abandon these?

Although #mentalhealth diagnostic labels create the illusion of an explanation, they can also be scientifically meaningless & create #stigma. #Diagnoses often mask the role of #trauma & adversity and tell us little about an individual & what treatment they need.

@munro_sara @LangworthyMedic @SalfordCO_NHS @TheChristie @StAnnsHospice Sending you huge love Sara ❤️

My amazing mum passed away last month from a rare stomach cancer. Aged just 66 she had worked for the NHS for 39 years. The care compassion & expertise she & we got was inspiring & humbling thank you @LangworthyMedic @SalfordCO_NHS @TheChristie @StAnnsHospice #WorldCancerDay

"We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy."

"Emotion is the chief source of all becoming-conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion." #Jung

"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people." - Carl Jung

You know when you get Marx in on the first page it’s going to be an interesting chapter! Thrilled this chapter from me & @LightofMind12 has been published bringing a much-needed sensory & embodied emphasis to understanding #eatingdisorders & their treatment. A Christmas gift!🎄

"This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic." #CarlJung

Rehearsing my Tedx talk for this Saturday on how the power of the performing arts can help to prevent suicide It's gonna be epic!

"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment." - Eckhart Tolle

Weird how things that compulsively distract a mind from feeling like shit in the moment - alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn, arguing with strangers on the internet, whatever - make a mind feel more shit. In order to feel less shit we have to face our shit. Recovery is a brave stare.

“Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much.” - Eckhart Tolle
