ChillOut 
WORKSHOPS
at the Laughing Buddha Studio
The theme of our 2012 workshops is to reduce stress with the
Anti-Tension ToolKit
Aches and pains, tiredness, breathing problems, emotional tension and insomnia
are a few of the effects of continual stress and muscular tension…
something we all have to a greater or lesser degree, and gone unchecked can develop into phenomenal exaggerated pain and stress… but we can certainly learn to deal with our stresses
so we can help avoid and lessen some of those unwelcome effects.
In our personal and professional experiences,
we know that what works for one person may not necessarily work for another,
so we are offering clear, concise practical holistic advice
in our tool-kit of self-help workshops,
including relaxation, meditation, NLP, visualisation and massage.
The aim is for you to use whatever tools you may need on a specific day -
sometimes your muscles may ache and you can use the muscle release and massage,
other times just coping with life may seem too much,
so you may want to use self hypnosis and meditation….
If you can find what works for you, it will go a long way in helping to reduce stress. We also offer professional post-workshop support if needed.
The day workshops are 10.30am-4pm, (please arrive at 10am) costing £35. It includes lunch, herbal teas, coffee, fruit and biscuits.
Spaces limited to 8
If you can’t make any of the scheduled days,
let us know and we’ll see what we can arrange for you. Most of these workshops are Chilled Out,
so we’ll finish the day with something invigorating so you won’t go home too zoned out J If you would like to stay over the night before and/or the night of the workshop,
let us know J

Guide to Muscle Release
Saturday 11 February 2012
Many of us have habitual muscle tension -sometimes without even realising it -
where our muscles are in a constant state of ‘readiness’ –
they never get a break or a chance to rest,
and can be a significant factor in creating and exacerbating the effects of tension.
We’ll discover why we find it so hard to ‘let go’ of muscular tension,
then make the ability of relaxing deep seated muscle tension accessible by working with the Active Muscle Release technique.
You’ll be amazed at the impact less muscle tension
will have on your body and mind!

Guide to Meditation

Meditation is often being advised by therapists and health professionals
as an antidote to our stress-filled and busy lives.
But how do we meditate???
We will spend some time in various meditations from different traditions
(Yoga, Buddhism, Zen, and the Western View)
and help you find a meditation that suits you!

Guide to Massage Techniques to use at home:
Neck & Shoulders
Saturday 17 March 2012
Massage helps ease tension by improving blood supply and oxygen to tense muscles. On this workshop we’ll try out self-applied neck and shoulder massage (fully clothed)
where, as most of us will agree, a lot of tension is held,
and also learn some techniques to use on your partner or a friend J ChillOut’s 2012 Anti-Tension ToolKit….
Guide to Deep Breathing
Sunday 19 February 2012
To breathe fully is to live fully…
We tend to use only a small proportion of our lung capacity,
by learning to breathe deeper we will get more oxygen to our muscles and body…
you'll discover your breath can affect yuour life on physical and emotional levels,
and learn breathing techniques to help reduce both muscular and emotional tension.
