Practice connecting with YOUR Unshakable Center through the Anchoring Bi-Lateral practice in #1. Regularly engaging with this practice not only increases the impact, but also, develops your ability to more quickly shift the system into this state. Also - connecting with this part of you strengthens the belief you have the ability and strength to get through things.
Sometimes we need greater love, support, acceptance, value, care and safety/protection to root into our Unshakable Center. If you find yourself struggling to feel the connection with that part of you, try developing and spending time in the Cave of Safety to generate foundational resilience and strength.
