Vivation_Making Happiness Happen
Feeling happy and good all of the time is the focus of a 4-day Vivation workshop by Patricia Bacall and Paul Hughes, July 15-18, in Los Angeles, California. Patricia Bacall is a certified Vivation Professional who has been coaching Vivation for over 20 years, and is the author of Loving Yourself Thin. Paul Hughes took over the directorship of Vivation International in 2008 and has been a Vivation Professional since 2000. They are two of the most experienced and well-trained Vivation Professionals in the world, mentored extensively by Jim Leonard, founder of the Vivation technique. "With a few simple steps we can train a person to feel good almost all the time. Learn Vivation and your life will change immediately for the better. The trick is to keep applying the elements we teach," says Bacall.
Vivation is a technique that trains people to create their own happiness daily, no matter what is happening in their lives at the moment. “Vivation is especially helpful for people suffering from sadness, ennui, anger, disappointment, and also those who need an effective tool to deal with stress in their life,” says Paul Hughes, director of Vivation International, the governing body for worldwide Vivation enthusiasts, based in Carson City Nevada.
"However, most people have an upper limit to how good they are willing to feel about themselves, their lives, their jobs and relationships. Vivation allows people to enjoy more aspects of their lives, and enjoy the pleasurable aspects of their lives even more fully," says Hughes.
Vivation's components include special breathing rhythms, relaxation, mindful awareness of one's feelings, and willingness to engage in the process. Participants learn to "integrate" negative feelings, including long-held physical pain, trauma, stress, heartache and anger. Once a person can feel good about those previously painful experiences, the feelings cease to cause continual distress, according to Hughes.
Vivation goes on to challenge participants to continue to expand their sense of well-being, and include things that they would never think could create pleasure. For example, the feeling of sadness at a funeral. The skill of Vivation teaches a person to enjoy even sadness as a means to live a richer, more satisfying life. Vivation teaches the difference between experiencing the loss as heavy "grief," or as sweetness and enjoyment for having had the person in one's life at all, says Hughes.
Since 1979, Vivation has been enjoyed by over 100,000 people worldwide. The workshop cost is $695 (for the first 8 registrants)
