Knit A Pattern of Joy
Knitting has long exerted a pull over the imagination of those who are regular practitioners of the activity and the reason is not because it results in immediate gratification in the form of a new sweater, but because it combats feelings of depression and anxiety while amplifying those of calmness and peacefulness. As an activity that requires acute precision and unwavering concentration, knitting truly allows you to temporarily sever ties with the external world and find solace in the rhythmic sounds of knitting needles and the intricate patterns you weave. Mehav’s “Knit A Pattern Of Joy” not only allows its clients to alleviate depressive, anxious and traumatic thoughts but also serves as a tool of self-expression, by enabling them to concoct patterns and designs that are meaningful to them and symbolic of their true self, obscured by worldly pretences. Furthermore, the repetitive hand movements involved produce a state of physical balance and harmony that the participants aim to replicate in their psychological realm, and which ultimately translates itself in a symmetric and peaceful thought process. Most importantly, appreciating a piece you have created after you are finished with the knitting encourages feelings of pride and makes way for self-admiration. Therefore, Mehav’s “Knit A Pattern Of Joy” is the perfect way to diminish your tensions and get your hands on a pair of self-made mittens or a sweater to get you through the cold weather!
Writing Therapy
From The Margins
Many a times, emotional trauma, depression and anxiety give birth to strings of wild and peculiar thoughts in our minds that are too complicated to understand, let alone acknowledge. Moreover, such thoughts often emerge in the sub-conscience and take root there, disabling one from consciously and rationally analyzing these thoughts that leave the emotional health in shambles. However, Mehav’s “From The Margins” brings forth an effective way to discipline the disarrayed mind, and achieve emotionally stability and order in doing so. As the name suggests, we aim to ensure that the toxic ideas that are sabotaging your mental peace by hovering in the periphery of your conscious thought but never within it, making themselves rather elusive and difficult to comprehend , are catapulted to the forefront of your mind from the margins of your sub-conscience, by indulging in therapeutic writing. By arranging various therapeutic writing activities for our clients, we hope to enable them to understand, analyze, ponder over and address their previously evasive thoughts by rendering them tangible in ink and paper. Moreover, by coaxing you to pen the thoughts that have remained in the margins of your mind, we instill in our clients a sense of self-knowledge, by allowing them to explore those aspects of their perspective that might have previously escaped their comprehension. We believe that before you set out to solve the problem, the problem must be completely understood, and what better way to achieve understanding than by writing the problem? Thus, Mehav’s “From The Margins” is a perfect way for all you literature enthusiasts and writers to navigate through the clutter of disheveled thoughts and lend coherence and meaning to your understanding of yourself.
Cooking Therapy
Go Cook Before You Go Crook!
Traditionally, cooking has been looked upon as a mere domestic chore and its power to heal and distract the mind from the problems that riddle it, hasn’t been consciously explored or harnessed for the most part. However, over the past few decades, culinary therapy has garnered considerable attention and managed to command an active involvement in the pursuit, for its ability to catalyze personal growth by invoking feelings of mindfulness, self-appreciation, self-assurance, relaxation and joy. Mehav’s “Go Cook Before You Go Crook” aims to render cooking a means of self-expression and psychological reconciliation for its clients, so they can restore their emotional vitality that they feel has been lost in the demands and scrutinies of daily life. As you immerse yourself in the activity of cooking, worldly distractions take a backseat and allow your thoughts to be completely consumed by the task at hand, enabling you to ponder over your worries in a rational mind framework. Moreover, culinary therapy also contributes to the comprehension of one’s innermost feelings that are often elusive to conscious thought. The flavors you experiment with or the way you slice your vegetables are not random choices but a physical manifestation of your intangible feelings, which you acknowledge during this particular therapeutic pursuit. Most importantly, the reward of a good meal afterwards is too enticing to not partake in Mehav’s “Go Cook Before You Go Crook!”.
Meditation Therapy
Mindful Meditation
Mehav works relentlessly to culture an environment that will allow its clientele to practice mindful meditation in an attempt to promote notions of self-awareness, alertness and satisfaction while allowing them to ponder over their problems and potential solutions without any distractions. By experimenting with various meditative postures and exercises meant to achieve physical relaxation, we ensure that our clients attain a sense of mental hypnotism during which they can muse over different predicaments without having their thoughts wandering off. At Mehav, we believe that in order to solve a problem, it is crucial to first comprehend the problem, and we allow you to do just that by creating an atmosphere in which you can muse over your concerns and navigate ways of addressing them while simultaneously achieving a state of an emotional limbo in which your conscience is not plagued by worrisome and anxious thoughts. This process allows for the occurrence of interpersonal dialogue which ultimately aids in a more enhanced understanding of oneself, making way for an absolute synchronization with one’s inner self. Through Mehav’s “Mindful Meditation”, we intend to create a safe space in which you can escape worldly pressures, demands and expectations and truly be yourself without being subjected to social judgments.
