We enjoy life and function better when we feel safer. No matter what you are doing… from enjoying a BBQ with friends, weeding the flowerbeds, taking a walk, or doing spring cleaning… you will feel more present and focused if you feel safe. When we feel even “a bit” threatened or nervous, there is a constant underlying tension and worry. Part of our attention is always focused on the threat. Yet for many of us, we don’t even know what the danger is! We just feel unsafe.
Passage from one form, state, style, or place to another. Change, often major. A period which leads from one well-defined and steady existence to another.
– what are we losing or leaving behind? (what are we gaining?)
– is it safe?
– who will we be?
– do we have a choice?
– will we be able to handle it?
– often a more chaotic time where we face more unknowns and experience accelerated learning
– can be unsettled and uncomfortable
We learn to disassociate… and it is also instinctual. For better or worse, we learn “coping” mechanisms from Mom and Dad and other early caregivers. Our primitive brain instinctually dissasociates us both in the freeze response and whenever pain or injury would keep us from fighting or fleeing. Energy Tapping (EFT) can certainly help! Tapping can calm the primitive brain and help release old patterns of behavior.
A lot of us never learned boundaries growing up. Even if we did, managing them with ease and grace is not always natural. We help you define what is yours to decide on and show you ways to stand up for that. And we delve into some of the grey areas that occur when we interact closely with someone at work or socially.
(FREE Audio) This is the outline and recording for the call Pro-Active Approach to Safety which is a part of our Body Vitality Workshop as we focus on Body Safety with co-hosts Rick Wilkes and Cathy Vartuli. We are joined on the call by Vivian Cannataro, EFT expert from Toronto who specializes in using EFT to help people pro-actively create safer and safer environments as well as healthier and more respectful relationships.
Healthy boundaries are crucial for feeling safe. In this Body Vitality Workshop call, we look at what is a boundary, the different types, boundary violations, why it is so hard to set boundaries, body guidance, emotional guidance, having a good NO, and feeling safe in your body through practicing boundaries consciously.
