From Survival Urgency to Stillness | Guided Breathwork for CPTSD Healing

Описание: We start class by settling into ourselves and space. This will look different for everyone. If you feel small, move your arms around and over you. If you feel restless, focus on less movement. Allow whatever needs to come up, to come up. Do not have anything particular in mind. Just meet yourself where you are. During this time, I also share some grounding exercises (as well as a soothing one!!) that you can incorporate in your day-to-day.

Afterwards, I invite you to ask how your body feels, WHAT IT NEEDS. This is the space to become curious and mindful of your body's current state. How it reacts to when you slow down, focus on your breath, lay down, move around (stretching, swaying, rocking). Or does it need more stillness? I also encourage you to keep your eyes closed throughout today's class, but no worries if you opened them throughout :)

Mid-class I detail HOW I actively transform my prior habits learned when in survival state, to the habits I want to have now, as I become more regulated and grounded within myself. The example shared in class details wanting to get up "to do something" but recognizing there is nothing to be done. Recognizing I am exactly where I am supposed to be (giving time, space and attention to my SELF, and healing). Thus, this 'need to get something done' feeling is false, and by starving it from attention, will eventually dwindle away and be a thing of the past.

Towards the end of class, I briefly mention two important topics. One: The gentle approach required when meeting the rises your body feels throughout the day (especially those with CPTSD). Visualize this, if you can. The example in today's class is the idea of rushing, (do not analyze why, or where this came from) instead simply speak to it, from the position you are now (or where you would like to be). "Although at one point, you served me and my survival well, you are no longer required in my life. Thank you and bye". Be gentle with yourself.

Two: The importance of being in a state of being while planting seeds of intention. I will make a separate more in-depth class in the future detailing exactly what I mean by this, but for now, say "I AM" instead of "I want", or "I wish". I AM safe, I AM healthy, I AM relaxed, etc.

Take care, see you in 8 WEEKS!!
