Mindfulness isn’t about being “calm,” mindfulness is about being present.

One reason we so often incorporate mindfulness work with mental health work is not to try to create some kind of “zen” feeling (although if that happens good for you!)

We work with mindfulness to notice. To notice our emotional experiences, our felt sensations.

To tune in, so that we can honor what we find.

✨MEET THE TEAM: Jaegil Lee✨
(He/Him)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jaegil is a graduate-level holistic counseling student who is completing his internship with us here at The Holistic Heart this year. His wisdom, warmth, and genuine caring have already made him an asset to fellow team members and clients alike.
Jaegil meets you where you are with a compassionate and caring presence.

His mindful and empathic listening creates a safer space where you can express your feelings and emotions and share what is deep inside of you.

While respecting your pace and following your lead, Jaegil attunes to your internal state and provides you with emotional and spiritual support.

He trusts in your inner healing power and resource. In collaboration with him, you will recognize unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving and work to develop alternative, healthier patterns of mindful living.
Jaegil currently holds a PhD in Spirituality, and is working toward his Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Salve Regina University.
Jaegil currently has a few openings for new clients! Please reach out if you are interested in working together.

This guided meditation: Accessing Your Inner Workshop (with Kristen) is a great starting point for practice being with self-inquiry.

Yoga can be such a supportive practice when you are doing emotional healing work.

We miss having you all in the studio SO MUCH, but we have found other ways to still share yoga practices with you until we are back in person.

Clients, don’t forget to access these practices in your Virtual Support Center, and of course we also go live every Tuesday on the HH page.

Too often we are taught to place authority outside ourselves.

The answers are within 💚💕

✨NEW GROUP OFFERING✨

I hope that your transition into the fall season is a magical one.
​
As we prepare to enter into a new season, I found myself really missing our community connection, and the experience of learning and practicing together.
​
So even though we are still virtually based, we decided to bring back our popular group programs, starting with an amazing offering from Erika Lucas, our holistic counseling intern.

​
This group will focus on deepening self-awareness through guided experiences with yoga, meditation, & expressive arts, and will engage in self-exploration through the lens of the chakras.
​
I'll be joining as well, and am really looking forward to it! Here are the details:

Self-Inquiry through Energetic Embodiment
Yoga, Chakras, & Expressive Arts
With: Erika Lucas
When: Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00pm
Dates: 8-week series, 9/29/21-11/17/21
Where: Virtually via Zoom
Investment: $79
​
Your energy centers, or chakras, are the spinning wheels of energy/light that comprise the subtle body. Chakras have their own unique attributes, qualities, and energies that can flow in and out of balance. In this 8-week series, you’ll focus on cultivating self-awareness by exploring the emotional and energetic self through the lens of the seven main chakras. Explorations will include yoga shapes (asanas), breathwork, meditation, other embodied experiences, journaling, and Expressive Arts exercises. Discover your own inner energetic and emotional cadences and flows, and learn tools and practices that you can take with you for support in restoring emotional and energetic balance when you need them.
​
If you are interested in participating, we’d love to have you! RI & MA residents only ❤️
