— Get the Grounding Energy You Need
For the past several weeks, I’ve been working with our Nervous System Integration Facilitators and my NS clients to find new ways to create stability and steadiness in our systems so we can keep putting one foot in front of the other.
We are not only faced with the “normal” everyday things that we have to navigate, we are constantly confronted with new, unfamiliar, and often incredibly overwhelming challenges that can throw us off in major ways.
Finding a place inside of us where we can tap into steadiness or softness or rootedness — my facilitators and clients have been coming up with a lot of their own language for this quality — allows us to stay connected to who we want to be, to our values, to our compassion, and to the path we want to stay on.
Remember, that your beautiful nervous system is steering the ship when it comes to keeping you safe. If it detects threat — accurate or not — it’s going to start to go into a defensive state, which takes your brain, thoughts, and emotions with it.
If you can recognize when you’re starting to stress out, feel overwhelmed, anxious, or that you’re starting to retreat or not be able to face the hard things in your life, a stabilizing practice can bring you back.
Our goal is to hold onto the threads of the ventral vagal influence in our system — safety — enough so we can keep making positive choices for our bodies, our lives, our businesses, our families.
I hope you’ll enjoy this short practice and share it with others.
PLEASE RESPOND with any questions, insights, or ah ha’s you might have about this practice. I’m here for you.
In service,

P.S. We have a new cohort for our Nervous System Integration Facilitator Certification Program beginning March 27th!
There are two What to Expect Calls coming up: Thursday, March 13th and Tuesday, March 18th. If this work resonates and you're ready to stop dabbling, I invite you to sign up for one of these Q+A style information calls and see if this program is the right next step for you on your journey.
We have two exciting new things going on with NSIF this round:
You can enroll for Level 1 ONLY! (first time ever that we're doing this)
We have 2 spots open for Pay What You Can Tuition. (Book a call with me to find out more.)
