For tens of thousands of years, humans have lived side by side with animals. However, today we are often unaware of the full extent our fury and feathered friends help us maintain a healthy sense of wellbeing.  In this conversation with Jennifer Geach and Graeme Green, we learn how to reconnect with our feelings and sense of self "in the moment".  Graeme tells us how animals help us build non judgemental relationships and teach us about compassion, kindness and community. While Jennifer helps us understand more about self regulation: how pets and other animals help us to recognise, accept and process our emotions.   For more information about Athena Herd, please see links below.   https://athenaherd.org.uk https://www.horseheard.com/author/gra...  

2.1: Athena Herd: How pets can increase our well being, self awareness and self regulation.

The times we are living in, challenges our ability to successfully look after our mental and physical health; so to help you, I've created a free therapeutic resource, which you can listen to, when you're ready. Originally it was created with NHS staff in mind, but as others requested it, I thought I'd share it with everyone. If you've not seen or heard the intro to this audio, please go back to the previous episode, as it will set you up nicely for what is to come. Also please listen to this audio, whilst in a relaxed position, either sitting comfortably or laying down and never whilst driving or operating any machinery.  For the best results, please listen for 21 days, either first thing in the morning or just before you go to sleep at night. It doesn't matter if you fall asleep before it finishes, your subconscious mind will still be listening to and understanding what is being said.
