Free Online Course – Sufi Stress Relieving Techniques
Hi everyone,
I hope you all are well during this time. I just wanted to share with you a free online course the Sufi Psychology Association has put together with physicians, psychotherapists and psychologists to help people through this difficult time. It may be a good resource for friends, family, clients, etc.
Every couple of days a new “lesson” is uploaded which may include a stress relief technique, psychological skill, journaling exercise, reframing tip, deep breathing practice, activity suggestions, etc.  It’s our way of contributing and trying to help out during this time.
The link is below.

Dear Friends,
At our POINT Interfaith Meeting  last week (via zoom) we asked each person:
“What are you doing to increase your spiritual health
during this time of crisis?”
Wonderful ideas were presented; laughing at email jokes, keeping a personal spiritual practice, walking, connecting via zoom/ email/ text, Centering prayer, praying for the ill/and health workers, reading inspirational material, walking on the beach, journaling, sitting quietly in church, helping sew masks… and more.
One minister said he is IMAGINING  what he would like the world to look like and BE after the crisis is over. He is imagining a world of compassion for all. We cannot go back to the way we were.
I loved that idea!
I ASK YOU as you read this message today.
WHAT WILL YOU IMAGINE THE WORLD TO BE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE NEW NORMAL TO LOOK LIKE?
IMAGINE
“…Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed…”
Thank you John Lennon
