Rather than giving yourself a score based on how well you think you are performing (or how others might judge you), the purpose of this assessment is to measure how you feel or what your level of satisfaction is with each area of your life at this time. Allow 10 minutes in an undisturbed place, perhaps with relaxing music, while you fill in your circle assessment. Your responses are just for you and your use at Well Within.

- 3 keys: Relaxation ResponsePositive EmotionSupport
- Wellness Wheel – Focus on Self-CareHolistic Approach
- Dr. Herbert Benson, author of the relaxation response, describes the pursuit of optimal health as being like a three-legged stool.Two legs of the stool: Surgery and Pharmaceuticals are delivered by Western Medicine and we are fortunate to have access to some of the best medcine in the world.Unfortunately, the combination of a healthcare system that is disease-oriented and individuals who are unwilling or lack the skills to practice good self-care has created a situation that makes achieving optimal health especially challenging. Consider this next slide…
- So Self-care DOES require commitment and dedication on your part. But the Well Within model of Education to Empowerment provides a supportive and sustainable framework to move you confidently into a proactive role in your health and wellbeing.So let’s move now into some introductory concepts related to good self care…
- Good self-care begins with awareness.I like this Chinese Proverb (read)…it reinforces the importance of learning a concept in body mind and spirit. So if you are able, take a moment to stand up, balance your weight evenly between both feet – standing tall in mountain posture.Carefully lift one foot up off the floor… (pause)… return the foot and stand in mountain posture…(pause)… what skill did it take to perform that task?Yes – BALANCE- and holistic balance is what we are seeking in Becoming Well Within.
- Consider your top 3 strengths from your wellness assessment…Tapping into our strengths is a skill that will help transform difficult situations or personal challenges into manageable experiences that serve our personal growth. When you hear about Well Within’s programming, you will hear us refer to using practices that are “Evidence Based”
- ----- Meeting Notes (8/29/12 18:49) -----to provide support. Too often, people choose to isolate themselves when suffering. Evidence, however, shows that seeking support is an effective strategy for increasing wellbeing and achieving personal goals.
- The majority of our healing services come from the field of Complementary Medicine specifically the area of mind-body medicine. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is the Federal Government’s lead agency for scientific research on the diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. For further information on complementary medicine, you can go to the centers website.Well Within seeks to align ourselves with evidence-based practices so that physicians and other medical providers feel comfortable referring to our programs for complementary support. The majority of our participants come from clinic and physician referral. More and more, Western Medicine is honoring the important role that complementary medicine plays in the prevention and management of disease.
- Wellness Coaching is offered both individually and in group settings. Wellness Coaching can be a supportive and effective strategy for making the health behavior changes required to support your whole healing.Additionally, we have practitioners that can meet with you individually for holistic counseling or energy medicine. Our practice groups provide excellent skill development in mindfulness and meditation.Our Wellness Circles include: > our FREE Integrative Wellness Support Circle meets weekly on Tuesdays from 2-3:30 or once/month on the second Monday from 6-7:30 pm > Renewing Life – 9 wk transformation program to assist Quarterly, we provide a variety of integrative healing programs by expert volunteers from a variety of disciplines. Check out our website for upcoming programs.And finally, we are especially proud of the outreach work that Well Within provides. Volunteers take our self-care message to church groups, social service agencies like Dorothy Day and Domestic Violence shelters, and other organizations like hospice, American Cancer Society, and various hospital support groups.We also provide Prayer Support for those who want to tap into this powerful source of support.
- Discover how to strengthen your immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, and foster hope and spiritual growth. Be inspired by the stories of people who have not just survived, but have thrived, while finding meaning and purpose within challenging situations. It’s time for hope to return and healing to begin. Join us.
