Announcing Insight Timer live winter events

Cambridge, October 6th 2020

Thor has been invited by Insight Timer to host weekly live meditations for three months this winter as part of the platform’s inaugural season of events.

Join them for a weekly Mindful Monday Check in, a 15-minute guided Awareness – Breath and Body – Choice meditation to help you start your week well. Each weekly meditation will be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, so you can benefit from both a practical and interactive space for you to practice moving from being critical to curious.

The first Live Event will be on Monday November 2nd at 5.15pm in the UK, 12.15pm on the US East coast and 9.15am on the US West coast. Make a note in your diary now and/or follow the link below and click ‘Add to Calendar’ to ensure you don’t miss it.

Learn how to do your own FIRST AID for FEELINGS in 10 days

Cambridge, April 26th 2020

The First Aid for Feelings course is now available on Insight Timer. This 10-day meditation centres on the fact that all feelings are information and it’s much more helpful to be curious than critical or dismissive.

When we are grappling with heightened thoughts, emotions and symptoms in one way shape or form, knowing First Aid to respond to your own feelings is an essential skill and knowledge to have. That’s why this course was created.

In the same way that medical first aid uses the mnemonic A-B-C (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), the First Aid for Feelings focuses on Awareness, Breath & Body and Choice.

Drawing on a deep understanding of how the body’s fight / flight / freeze response works, Thor uses Professor Linden’s 3-scoop ice cream analogy of the brain to explain how your current reactions to feelings and situations are strongly influenced by the evolutionary legacy of how the brain is structured.

This meditation course is informed by Thich Nhat Hanh’s practice of looking deeply. Thich Nhat Hanh is a zen buddhist, founder of the Order of Interbeing and recipient of the Global Peace Prize and Courage of Conscience award.

The best part is that you can listen to Day One of the course free on the Insight Timer app without even creating an account to see if it’s something that would be helpful for you.

You’ll only be asked to pay ($20) when you attempt to access Day Two. It’s also worth noting that purchasing the course enables you to listen to it via Insight Timer on the web or the app.

Impactathon – talking about feelings…

Cambridge, January 18th 2020

On 18 January 2020 The Helpful Clinic brought together a range of health activists as we posed the following question: Why is getting people talking about feelings so important?

These statistics are not ok!

We wanted to find out:

  1. The true cost of not talking about feelings
  2. The benefit of talking about feelings – how does talking about feelings work?
  3. Share and collect people’s stories of experiences and feelings

News Coverage

Cambridge, January 9th 2020
