Social Healing Circle, today at 1430 - 1600
Downstairs Room (left of main reception, near the kids area)
Chipping Barnet Library, 3 Stapylton Road, Barnet, Herts, EN5 4QT
More info on:
http://www.meetup.com/The-Beating-Social-Anxiety-Together-Group/
This meetup is intended for people who suffer with social fear/anxiety and struggle to relax around other people, but anyone is welcome. You may just like to come and relax or work on a different problem.
We will use 3 scientifically backed and powerful methods to tackle how we feel whilst sitting and facing strangers in a circle. Tapping (or EFT), meditation and laughter – each of these techniques are known to help in reducing feelings of 'fight or flight', which is what all sufferers of social anxiety seem to have in common.
Only when fear has been removed can we truly experience being ourselves and enjoy other people's company. I am hoping that after this session people will leave feeling better.
You can leave and join this group at anytime throughout the session, as long as you do so quietly.
£3 contribution per person, to cover the cost of the room please.
1430 - 1500
Emotional Freedom Technique
We will all tap on our own individual problems, but all tap together.

1500 - 1530
Meditation
This will be a general meditation for relaxation, just meditate the way you want during 30 minutes of peace and quiet (except for some background music). No indoctrination.

1530 - 1555
Laughing
We will just all deliberately laugh together for the last part. Even if you don't feel like it, the idea is to just fake it till you make it. You need a willingness to at least try.
