Thank you for the perfect analogy to illustrate how we can strive/grow/blossom like a lotus flower in the murky, “toxic” environment of our current health care system. It seems that some type of mindful practice must be cultivated for healthcare professionals from day 1 of their training so that they adopt the practice (of their likings/ comfort level) and making it a habit throughout their careers.
Whatever would fit in their training curriculum with administrative support.
Excellent presentation. Lotus is my favorate flower. Thank you.

What hit home for me was the reflection on the isolation and disconnection in practicing medicine and one of the remedies: to share our stories with each other and listen mindfully. An inspiring discussion. Thank you.

What an excellent talk. Very thoughtful and thought provoking. Thank you for so succinctly discussing toxic environments. I will now be able to identify better what is the source of a current toxicity and mindful ways in which I can help improve the environment.
Thanks a lot I am really grateful ??

Nurses = community? reflection? awareness? breath awareness? movement practice?
Doctors = pause? community connection? body-awareness meditation?
PT./ OT/ RT/ Pharmacists = meditation
