I read an article in The Guardian recently that describes how wellness has now become an ideology; based on the book The Wellness Syndrome by Carl Cederström and André Spicer.
Reading this article I feel relief. While I am a Kundalini Yoga Teacher & Movement Therapist and therefore by association ought to be a thoroughbred positive thinking wellness advocate.
I find the increasing trend towards wellness narcissism directly opposed to my understanding of wellbeing in general. The idea that positive thinking, green smoothies and expensive yoga kit will make you a better person to be around is completely nuts.

In my time I have definitely been the evangelical self-improver, patting myself on the back for every health imposed limitation I set myself without realising that my uptight pursuit of perfection was in fact not that healthy at all. Learning to let go of being so damn controlled meant my wellness escalated, as did my compassion for other people and the challenges of life.
As a note to yoga aspirants, meditation and spirituality does not deliver a special feeling, a trance, or a vision, although that kind of phenomena may accompany a practice; it wakes you up to the deep and rich experience of ordinary reality, it confronts you with the mundane and asks you, do you have the grace to accept things as they are.
To let go of controlling everything and everyone else creates as odd as it may seem, a more tangible connection to ‘something’ inside and outside of me that liberates me from trying to be “perfect”. Now that is what I call stress management.
