Shift Nervous System State
Learn about YOUR nervous system and learn about the Vagus Nerve
Identify what signals your body sends when you are out of the zone of safety - notice early cues and note how to identify if you are Hyper-aroused or HYPO-aroused. This aids us in determining the tool to use
Practice Attuning to the Body to increase interoception
Practice Anchoring Bi-Lateral to interrupt and connect with the Vagus Nerve
Determine HOW and on What YOUR brain likes to FOCUS. This is key to being able to interrupt activation from the amygdala. You often have to interrupt before you can redirect. Until you are sure about your brain and focus preferences, practice Molly's Dancing the Cingulate
Focus on SAFETY. Develop and spend time in the Cave of Safety - when you build the muscle of connecting with the feelings of safety, support, value and unconditional love - this is a powerful tool for helping you to shift your state into the Ventral Vagal from either hyper OR hypo aroused states. You can receive whatever you need in the moment from this place and from Wise Old You.
