CAUTION: Things to Remember when Using Mindfulness and Activation of Trauma
Mindfulness practices are rooted in allowing the thoughts, feelings and sensations we experience. If this "allowing" might bring up stuff you aren't ready for, choose other practices like Focus or Open Heart; Quiet Mind can be helpful if it is not incorporating Mindfulness practices.
Basic Flow of All Mindfulness Practices:
Step 1: Allow your attention to be open and receptive
Step 2: Simply notice whatever arises (thought, feeling, sensation)
Step 3: GENTLY acknowledge whatever comes up and allow it to be SEEN (without action or assessment). Once seen, give the thought or feeling a name - what type of thought is it?
Step 4: Once you have what feels like the right label, allow the thought, feeling or sensation to move away from you (using whatever imagery works best for YOU ie: clouds floating away or leaves on water), or let it go (either for now or for good if possible and appropriate).
Step 5: Return to allowing and notice what comes up next
** Rinse and Repeat! - By doing this over and over, you build new neural pathways and brain plasticity, as well as gaining insight into yourself and building the observer **

The Importance of Awe & Wonder
The Importance of Awe & Wonder
Connecting with AWE
Awe is beneficial for everyone, especially when dealing with anything difficult. Connecting with this feeling is restorative for the brain and the nervous system (for heart, mind and body). Do this often - even for a few minutes when you are stressed/overwhelmed/hurting. This practice guides you through remembering, with all of your senses, an experience of being in a place where you FELT AWE.

Preparation for the Cave of Safety - how to create YOURS
The system responds and can return to calm when you send it messages of safety. This practice increases feelings of inner safety, and is helpful when you need a buffer from the world, a deep sense of safety, unconditional love and support, or when you are doing difficult work.
