Community MindfulnessWhat self-love really is (and isn’t)

March 5, 202110 min

We live in a world where we’re constantly told that we cannot accept ourselves as we are and at the same preaches superficial forms of self-love that are sentimental and self-indulgent. In the name of ‘self-love’ and ‘body positivity,’ people create a facade of loving and accepting themselves, while their sense of self remains fragile as they drown in confusion, self-doubt and self-criticism. Who can blame them? From media messages to competitive comparisons, we are...

Health MindfulnessReview: New Vibro-Acoustic Massage at Seven Wellness

February 28, 20219 min

I’m lying on my stomach on the floor of a treatment room at Seven Wellness, a yoga and wellbeing center on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. Vera Kamaeva has just placed a Tibetan singing bowl on the upturned arch of my right foot. She is tapping it with a felted tool and, as a result, the sound waves are reverberating somewhere up into the middle of my calf. As I often do when I’m at...

Community MindfulnessA psychologist’s advice for helping children with webcam anxiety

February 11, 20218 min

Thanks to the valiant efforts of teachers and parents alike, virtual learning has kept school afloat for many during the initial lockdown and as the pandemic continues. But it has not been easy for anyone, however, and for many children, adjusting to new ways of learning via Zoom or other tele-conferencing platforms can exacerbate anxiety and amplify existing mental health issues. “For some students it can feel like a daily form of torture, significantly increasing...

Community MindfulnessWhat is the right age to give your child a connected device?

February 7, 20216 min

When to give a child their first “connected device” — aka a smartphone or any gadget that connects to the internet — has become one of the biggest decisions any parent will make. Even if it’s a gaming console, e-reader or smartwatch, parents are aware that all of these devices are capable of connecting their child to a world of people and information at all times. Any misstep might end with information about your child...

February 4, 20214 min

It’s World Cancer Day and someone you know has had a cancer diagnosis. Not only are you shaken, but this is all new, and you want to be sure to support them in the right way. It’s hard to know what to say to someone who has been diagnosed, which is why so many of us struggle with how to be there for them, talk to them and provide the right kind of care without...

Fitness Health Mindfulness‘Most men never take the time to just stop and breathe’

January 15, 202111 min

Carlos Mendez Esquivel understands what it is to be a yoga skeptic. When his brother came back from college at age 18 expounding the virtues of the practice, he laughed off it off as just a way to meet girls. Fast forward two decades and Mendez is very much a convert. After going through a period of significant stress and anxiety in his life, his doctor in Mexico recommended he try yoga. That was 11...

Mindfulness7 ways to make friends with failure

January 11, 20218 min

Failure. Such a terrifying word that our inner critics tend to use so frequently. It is real and it hurts. Overcoming the fear of failure in a way that does not hold you back seems impossible. For many of us, failure cuts deeply. What separates those who go on to achieve success from those who give up on their goals is attitude. Every top CEO I’ve worked with has had to deal with failure on...

Community MindfulnessA manifesto for silence

January 3, 20218 min

When was the last time you heard, and enjoyed, silence? The background of our lives is inherently noisy: cars, construction, machines, videos, phones, chatter, air conditioning. Noise is there almost all the time. It is aggressive and repetitive. After all, there is such a thing as “sound torture” – playing loud music or noise continuously to prisoners to break their will and disturb their mental health. It’s a torment. Our brains and ears need regular rest, to recuperate,...

Community MindfulnessGrieving? How to get through the holidays

December 23, 202011 min

Whether the loss is fresh or in the past, this time of year can sharpen the pain of grief and intensify feelings of loneliness and isolation. That much was true before the pandemic, before we needed to factor in enforced distance. “At this time, a loved one’s absence is seen and felt more starkly than ever,” says Dr Haseeb Khan Rohilla, a specialist psychiatrist at Priory Wellbeing Centre, Dubai. “As a result, many can feel...
