A Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health & Wellness

I think I have grown the most spiritually while I have been going to LBS.  My spirituality has been suffering for a while now and I’ve felt very “stuck” in trying to find a way back to some semblance of spirituality.  The daily meditations have taught me a new way to feed myself spiritually.  They have taught me a new way to reach out to my Higher Power and that there is not just one way to worship.  They have taught me to take time to focus, even if just for a few minutes each day on finding my center and feeling the power that resides in and around me during that time. The focus on a Higher Power along with everything else in the Lifehouse program has been so important and healing for me.  It has brought new desires to work on a relationship with my Higher Power.  It has given me a new appreciation for all that I have and all that I can do. I’m feeling the prickling of emotions and spiritual feelings I haven’t really felt in such a long time. I feel little pangs of change happening within myself because of the things we are doing in this group. It is a gift to be a part of this. Lifehouse has been such a blessing in my life in so many ways!

I was excited about the program to start with, but had no idea how big of an impact it could have on my day to day outlook. I know it sounds cliche, but it really has been life-changing for me. I’m addicted and I worry that I can’t live well without it! I love when Becky encourages us to breathe while working out (big exhales). This seems to really clear up space within me. She also encourages us at different times during intense cardio to “throw it down”! Doing these things has changed what a workout is for me. Love it!

I love Lifehouse Body & Soul. I am learning so much. I can feel myself growing in body, mind, and spirit. I feel encouraged and inspired. I feel stronger and more peaceful. I look forward to the fitness, yoga, and meditation everyday, and the Mentorship class has been mind and soul-expanding. I feel like the work we do here is such a great investment in myself, my whole self, and will have lasting effects on my life and that of my family.

Learning to sync my body, mind, and spirit through daily movement and meditation with some truly amazing women has saved my life. Through my experience with Lifehouse Body & Soul, I have learned a higher, more powerful way of thinking that has empowered me to begin healing from past and present traumas. Because of what I have learned, I have been able to find and maintain peace, forgiveness, and calm in every aspect of my life.

I have grown mentally from LBS due to the amazing mentorship program that was so thoughtfully constructed.  It was something I didn’t even know I needed!  After being in counseling for several years, I still felt like there was so much I didn’t have a grasp on and so much that I felt like I still needed to work on, but I didn’t know where to start.  The mentorship program has given me what I felt was missing from my counseling sessions as it has guided me through a weekly journey of self-discovery and learning that is helping me open my eyes to see things in new ways.  It is helping me understand and reflect on some of my self-defeating behaviors that I could never put into words.  I’m beginning the process of breaking down those behaviors and creating healthier ones that will help me and my family in the long run.  I’m beginning to understand better how my mind lifts me up and also how I allow it to bring me down.  I’m finding a new sense of awareness about my mental state thanks to the LBS mentorship program.  There is so much to learn and it is a lifelong process.  Thankfully, I have new tools now to continue that process.  

From the high energy cardio beginning of class to the empowering and centering meditation at the end of class, I love every minute of Lifehouse Body & Soul.

Physically I am stronger. I have become more flexible, and I can endure more. I am learning to listen to my body and know when I can push myself a little more. I feel great. This program is helping me to reach an optimal level of health. I look forward to the workouts and I enjoy each part of it. Deep breathing is now my go to when I need to calm myself or take a step back from a situation. Meditation has become my favorite. I am learning to relax and let my body be still. I can’t wait to get started again!

I HATED yoga, but now I can actually touch the ground and am finding out it’s not so bad. I noticed more how my body felt when I moved it and learned to work out not for the purpose of losing weight but to enjoy the feelings of being alive. I was much more consistent with going to work out knowing it wasn’t a punishment for my body but rather an experience.

Lifehouse Body and Soul has helped me grow and find myself the past 5 months. Practicing centering in mind, body, and soul through movement, mediation and weekly meetings has helped me clear space in my head and heart to heal from past and present trauma. I love that I can teach my kids at early ages the things I am learning as well.

I have grown in ways I didn’t know were possible through my participation in the LBS daily practice and mentorship programs. My vocabulary, knowledge and understanding of who I am and what I am capable of have increased exponentially. My body is stronger and I have learned that it is a sacred vessel and facilitator for worship, a divine part of who I am. I feel more connected spiritually to the Divine and learned ways to help me reconnect every day. The unconditional acceptance, love and encouragement I feel in the LBS community has been healing and transformative for me. It’s true- you don’t know what you don’t know-until you do! I know that I wouldn’t be where I am without LBS and I plan to continue with this inspired program.

Ways I grew physically from the LBS program: I have been very happy with the healthy weight loss I have achieved since working the program. Through the weekly group meetings and discussing healthy ways to view food and my body, I’ve also been able to choose a healthier way of eating. I feel more confident in my body and can truly say I love myself. I physically have a lot more energy which allows me to adventure more in the outdoors. I am grateful everyday for God in allowing me to move my body in the many capacities it does.

I’m a newbie to Lifehouse Body and Soul, but I’ve been thinking about starting the program for months now. I kept putting it off because I wasn’t sure if I could commit to an hour and a half practice. I was worried what the rest of my day would look like if I took that much time to exercise. What I’ve discovered since I started is that practicing at Lifehouse Body and Soul doesn’t subtract time to my day, it actually adds it. I’m so grateful every day when I’m leaving because I’m energized, my mind is clear, I’m focused on what matters and centered on God. The rest of my day I’m able to live my life more consciously with less worry about getting everything “done,” yet amazingly get more done! Starting to practice with Lifehouse Body and Soul has truly been life-changing for me.
