It can be hard for doctors to seek medical care sometimes, even though they can be laden with the burdens of helping others. With so many pressures and commitments, your own wellbeing can be pushed to the back burner. However the incidence of suicide in doctors is higher than average. This is largely preventable with some gentle care, to help you not just cope, but to flourish.
Fortunately for me, when the final blow hit, I met Kim Durga, founder of The Well Being Initiative, whose wide range of skills and experience, together with LIFT Meditation, prevented the complications we all know can occur with burnout, and has really transformed my life. The whole person is addressed, and with LIFT, goes beyond the cognitive mind, to access subconscious limiting and negative beliefs which can be released, while in a meditative state with lasting benefits. This can be done in a group or in a personal session and is equally effective on zoom. Kim Durga has developed a wide range of workshops to address relationships, burnout, abundance and so much more on consciousness also.
The use of LIFT Meditation has a real place in wellbeing and prevention of burnout in all those involved in the helping professions or caring for others, and for anyone in challenging relationships. I also see the benefits that LIFT can provide as a therapeutic intervention alongside medical management for a wide variety of patients suffering stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, and relationship issues.
This modality really provides wellbeing for the whole person. I have worked with Kim Durga and The Well Being Initiative, and know the value of what they do.
