Join Candace and a small group of friends for this opportunity to learn and practice a simple and safe meditation and attunement practice.
This is a practice I have developed over the last couple of years as a support to trauma-healing. The goal of my work is to keep people safe and attuned to their nervous system in practice.
Together we will go over the steps and gain some familiarity with them as we settle into a practice together.
I will provide all the participants with the steps to develop a practice on their own following the event.
“Nobody chooses to experience trauma. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a devastating accident, or an act of interpersonal violence, trauma often leaves people feeling violated and absent a sense of control. Because of this, it’s vital that survivors feel a sense of choice and autonomy in their mindfulness practice. We want them to know that in every moment of practice, they are in control. Nothing will be forced upon them. They can move at a pace that works for them, and they can always opt out of any practice. By emphasizing self-responsiveness, we help put power back in the hands of survivors. The body is central to this process. Survivors need to know they won’t be asked to override signals from their body, but to listen to them—one way they’ll learn to stay in their window of tolerance.” ~ David A. Treleaven
