Happiness Kit in Vancouver!!!!

AN HAPPINESS KIT?: a little bag with iconic objects that remind what brings happiness (the science of Positive Psychology says that). You carry them around, you touch them, you look at them, you start practising a “cognitive reconstruction” which means that practise makes perfect.

MY HAPPINESS KIT? a little bag with some iconic objects that boost happiness will be on sale online for a very reasonable amount of money.

Mostly, happiness kits differ from each other, depending on the country and availability of happiness objects. This is a Canadian kit and it contains:

1. a plastic ballon: play with your friends,
2. an elastic: go beyond your limits and be resilient
3. a little candle: remember about gratitude,
4. a medal for your achievements: do engaging things
5. a flower: remeber to savour nature
6. a playing card, the right card for the game you are playing: be optimistic
7. an eraser to erase mistakes: practise forgiveness,
8. an umbrella to protect from over-thinking
9. a little bunch of flowers for someone: be kind
10. a calendar to plan: have goals!
11. a bell: be spiritual
12. love your body: a spoon to eat good food

Hiro was teaching at a neurofeedback course.
Very interesting experience!

Neurofeedback is a computerized form of psychotherapy, coaching, self-development.
The brain is guided through auditory feedback into the right mental state!

Ariel does something I admire and something close to what I am engaged with.
She works with brainwaves, measures them, gets to move things with them, to light up lights with them.
Brainwaves are tangible, they can be made visible to individuals and they can be related to different mental state.
That moment of awareness, when someone sees his/her brainwaves on the screen, and relates them to: joy, peace, thinking, distraction, rumination, s rather revolutionary.
It is the experience of the I.

,,,,,,

The drawing mind relies on the idea that the brain (yes, we have heard that) is plastic and can transform itself.
I imagine that for those that would struggle to sit on a hard cushion, crosslegged, trying to silence the brain or for those that would scorn the experience of "savouring the raising", this is a good alternative.
Apparently the author hints the reader, the creative reader, without giving too many indications though, to "draw with your smell", "draw with your feet". This would take to the experience of distracting the criticizing mind, and to start experimenting new alternative ways of observing reality, of drawing and ultimately of thinking.

I have ordered the book, I liked the cover too (what counts if not the cover)
