1. Connect with Wise Old You in the Cave of Safety

• Creating YOUR Architecture of Safety

• NeuroMeditation

• Brain Exercise

• Focus on RECEIVING whatever you need at any moment in this safe place: unconditional love, safety, support, acceptance, value, strength, comfort - whatever you need.

• Spending time in this space fosters belief in your ability to get through things, strengthens inner safety and resilience, increases feelings of worth and value, and empowers you to give yourself what you need. 

• REPETITION strengthens these feelings, and also entrains your system to shift more quickly into the ventral vagal, safety and calm.

2. Develop awareness of your nervous system: how to identify state, and routes to shifting that state to help you get through difficult moments. Become an expert in YOUR nervous system.

5. Open Heart practices increase our connection with self-love and self-compassion. This softens our approach to ourselves as we move through difficulty and challenge. Softening serves to strengthen our resilience, reduces unnecessary pressure and the harshness of judgement. Through self-compassion, we increase feelings of validation, which empowers us, to make room and space for ourselves, so that we can move through experiences in our own way, and in our own time.
