Episode Synopsis

Imagine a landscape. Perhaps a snow-capped mountain top, studded with pine trees and whispers of clouds. Maybe a bird flutters past. Are there people there, or are you alone with the birds?If only daydreaming from your desk was seen as something to be revered - encouraged even, free from judgement. Well, Mike Parker is here to tell you why it should be! For when we let our minds wander from our day, it can be a potent balm for burnout, stress, and anxiety, and a cure for creative blockages.In this week’s beautiful and deeply fascinating episode, Mike introduces us to the power of deliberate daydreaming, metaphor mapping, liminal coaching and guided relaxation. I hope it carves out an hour of calming creativity for you to let your mind wander fully and freely.Find out about:The work of Mike’s Liminal Coaching, inspired by solutions-focused hypnotherapyWhat metaphor mapping is and why it can help us recognise and reframe problemsThe power of calming the parasympathetic nervous system through liminal pomodoro techniqueWhy guided relaxations offer neurodivergent people a less restrictive outlet than meditationThe serotonin-inducing power of recalling pleasurable momentsThe importance of recognising intrinsic, oppressive frameworks in impacting the burnout of minority groupsDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Mike Parker:LinkedInLiminal CoachingShare your thoughts about our conversation!Support the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.
