BEYOND THE BRIDGE NEWSLETTER – SUMMER 2014
Greetings,
At Beyond the Bridge, our goal is to enhance traditional health care methods through integrating our innovative techniques as a wellness resource for hospital staff, patients and their caregivers. We recently had a unique opportunity to give an experiential presentation at the Annual FACES 2014 Epilepsy Conference at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. “The mission of FACES is to improve the quality of life for those affected by epilepsy and seizures. FACES is affiliated with NYU Langone Medical Center and its Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. FACES funds research to improve epilepsy care, advance new therapies, and fosters a supportive community for children, families and caregivers who live with the challenges of epilepsy.” Co-presenters Linda Shields and Francesca Caputo gave an experiential presentation at the Conference entitled’ Deep Breathing and Epilepsy’. Relax, renew and recharge! Create a personal wellness toolbox that utilizes simple breathing techniques to de-stress and calm the mind, release tension in the body, restore internal balance and strengthen your resiliency. The presentation was well received and the feedback was very positive. So much so that beginning in the Fall there will be quarterly class workshops targeting different populations within the epilepsy community, such as Parents, Caregivers, Teens, General Adults. Click here to watch the video and participate with the presentation (scroll to the 2014 video section then scroll to Deep Breathing and Epilepsy). Enjoy! http://faces.med.nyu.edu/epilepsy-conference. The opportunity to give this presentation was preceded by over four years of working with patients and their families affected by Epilepsy to utilize practical health techniques that include breathing exercises to balance the Nervous System, simple movements to release tension in body and mind and healing Sound to instill calm. We continue to remain committed to bringing integrative wellness resources to healthcare and corporations because we continue to see firsthand, the benefits of these practical wellness tools.
