The Odoki Method

Do you want to be well and happy?

These aren’t the same.

We aren’t always taught about how our minds work, and how to influence our experience of life.

Let’s introduce ourselves.

What do I want to be different?

Let’s do a brief exercise: a body scan.

What we did here was explore scanning experience.

Noticing a breadth of experience.

Experimentation encouraged
Tools to explore
No one-size-fits-all exists
An instructor on hand
Here we introduce the course’s approach - to equip us with the tools to work effectively with our own experience. Given our own experience is unique - no-one in the world has ever existed with this array of experience - the particular tools we will need will be unique.
Therefore, we cannot give participants a one-size-fits-all package and expect it to work. Instead, we will introduce participants to a number of approaches, and encourage them to try each approach out, and note which approach has the most beneficial effect. Experimentation here is not just allowed, it is encouraged. If a participant has an idea of something that they think might work, they are encouraged to try this out. The instructor will also be on-hand to support participants in this.

Explore what is happening?

The Breath

In this exercise we paid attention to a single aspect of our experience. This typically leads to greater calm.
