The 7Rs Reflective Process

Human flourishing.

Human flourishing has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy, particularly the work of Aristotle. It is the practice of living a virtuous life while fully realising one's potential - finding meaning and purpose, nurturing meaningful relationships, and actively pursuing wellbeing.

For Aristotle, flourishing comes through:

  • Practicing virtues like kindness, honesty, and courage.
  • Engaging in meaningful activities that align with personal values.
  • Taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions.

The seven

The 7Rs.

The 7Rs Reflective Process used in the BAST Method provides a practical framework for supporting human flourishing - each stage a step toward recognising and nurturing wellbeing.

  1. 01

    Resonance

    Lose yourself in unity consciousness - a sense of deep connection that improves mood and quiets unwanted thoughts.

  2. 02

    Resistance

    Acknowledge blocks or challenges in thoughts, feelings or behaviour - emotional, physical or mental.

  3. 03

    Release

    Let go of resistance to create space for growth and new possibilities.

  4. 04

    Recognition

    Build the awareness to notice when resonance, resistance and release are being experienced.

  5. 05

    Responsibility

    Take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

  6. 06

    Reframing

    Adjust thoughts, feelings and behaviours to better support wellbeing.

  7. 07

    Reflection

    Examine your own process and discover more about yourself.

Taking responsibility for recognising and processing resistance, finding release, and seeking more opportunities for resonance fosters personal growth and wellbeing. In essence, this reflective process helps you flourish - integrating ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practice.
