Your Self-care Toolkit: For Caregivers and Those with Chronic Illness – Fairfax, VA

You know the stressors. The anxiety, grief, loss, or sheer physical exhaustion that comes from the seemingly endless marathon that is dealing with chronic illness: from the earliest stages of diagnosis, to the appointments, procedures, home care, and all else in between.

But did you know you can experience benefits from meditation, breathing exercises, qigong and other mindful practices to help regulate your stress response? These not only help your immune system, you can find yourself reacting less from a crisis-mode to having a more “calm” response day in and day out.

Join us on Saturday afternoon to give yourself the tools you need to help contribute to your self-care. You will assess your needs, experience mindful practices so you are able to more easily relate directly to what is happening in life and becoming more adept at meeting daily challenges with both skill and an open heart.
