THE ENDORPHIN EFFECT - MIND-BODY HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Saturday 13th November 10 - Sunday 14th November 10 || EDINBURGH
This seminal training teaches the core strategies of effective and accessible mind-body healthcare and self-management.
It combines the essence of the traditional eastern and holistic approaches – mindfulness and body awareness - with the insights of modern psychology and neuroscience, as described in William’s book The Endorphin Effect.
Over the weekend you will learn and experience techniques that can improve your physical and psychological health, and which you can share with friends, patients and clients.
In particular, you will learn how to produce endorphins, the ‘miracle’ hormones, at will and regardless of circumstances. Endorphins are the hormones that relax tissue, remove pain, and create the physical sensations of wellbeing.
These strategies can be used even when tired, on overload or in crisis.
When you feel good, they can make you feel even better. This weekend gives you the precise concepts and techniques for achieving this:
• Positive Triggers - Audit and use the thoughts and activities that trigger endorphins.
• Inner Smile - The most important mind-body attitude of all for sustained good health.
• Curled Deer - Regenerate and relax in any situation through this strategy, which is also the key to a sustained strong centre and hara.
• Biophylia/Connection - Utilise the body’s connection with the natural world to absorb vitality whenever you want.
BENEFITS
• Physical - Releases tension, relaxes tissue, allowing a free flow of the body’s circulatory systems, enabling sustained good health and specific healing.
• Psychological and Emotional - Empowers and encourages. People discover they can influence their own chemistry and mood – but with no drugs or dependency. Also provides an effective method for ‘holding’ pain and distress.
• Leadership and Caring - Provides the foundation and fuel for genuinely feeling positive, benevolent and strong. Burnout decreased; bedside manner improved.
• Holistic - Melts bioenergetic tension, enabling the flow and absorption of natural vitality, known in the East as chi and prana. In holistic medicine, this is the foundation of good health.
• Spiritual - The Endorphin Effect can be described as spiritual intelligence in practice. It provides benefits similar to those of meditation, yoga, tai chi and qi gung — increased mental focus, clarity of consciousness, calm and flexibility — but without great time commitment or physical movement. It is also a great strategy for centring, grounding and entering meditation.
In more formal healthcare trainings,William teaches these strategies as Practical Applied Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI).

‘The Endorphin Effect is a profound yet universal and easily applied process for enhancing one’s joy and fulfilment in life. It’s good for your health at all levels.’ Dr S Miller, Bristol Cancer Help Centre.
‘As a training manager working for the Civil Service I have just finished delivering a two day course on managing personal stress. I devoted almost all of today to The Endorphin Effect. They loved it! They felt it was a strategy they could easily incorporate into their daily lives. It is such a good feeling to come away from a group of people knowing I have made a difference.’ Shauna O' Donnell.
