PRACTICES FOR SELF REGULATION
Manage episode 396932507 series 2080364
This is a recording of a class I taught as an opening class to the winter Foundation Training series of 2024. This episode starts with the class settling in and getting all the comfy blankets and supplies out to really sink in together. Then I talk about why I have decided to start the 2024 winter courses with a class purely on self-regulation tools before getting into any of the physical practices. I share personal stories of self-regulation in some heated moments, all about each practice, and how these practices can really increase our window of tolerance, help shift us from being primarily in sympathetic nervous system into the parasympathetic where healing can happen, and how they can put us at the center of our own health, healing, and journey. In the end there is a guided experience through three practices.
I share three practices:
- Orienting
- The Felt Sense
- Resourcing
The one thing I didn't say about resourcing in this recording, is generally not to use another person or an animal as a resource because sometimes when you think about them, you can also remember something really challenging about them. For the resource, pick somthing that is just solidly & purely easeful, pleasurable, or comfortable.
I hope you enjoy this! Please reach out to let me know if these practices impact you positively or if you have any cool experiences with them!
