In Search of Your Inner Bean: ... Adventures in Self Discovery

This book was inspired by a request from an Emergency Room Nurse in New Hampshire. She was concerned about psychiatric patients waiting in the Emergency Room for beds at a psychiatric facility. These patients sometimes waited alone in cold, white walled rooms for days or weeks on end without access to pen, paper, phones or digital devices. She asked if we could come up with resources for people in these situations. And so we did. We created six simple and effective exercises to get people connected to themselves and their environment. These exercises were designed to bring a sense of calm, peace and presence to those who engaged with them. Our 6 exercises quickly turned into 33 when we realized the benefits and resonance these exercises were having with other populations of people. And the goal remains the same - to get people connected to themselves using simple and effective techniques delivered in kind and unassuming ways.
