Grief & Anxiety {part 3}: A Lifeboat in Turbulent Times
*While this series was recorded several months ago, it continues to feel incredibly timely as we bear witness to the horrors unfolding in Israel and Palestine, as well as the hate crimes happening in response to this crisis.
May we stay steady, may we stay awake, may we soothe our hearts so that we can continue to engage.
When emotion overwhelms our system, it is called 'flooding', and in today’s episode, we are going to learn to build our lifeboat. We will explore soothing techniques to support the overwhelming emotions of the moment.
Last week, we talked about softening the body - this is a form of physical compassion.
Today, we explore soothing, an emotional compassion, which allows us to tolerate big emotions and perhaps move towards allowance.
Join me for today’s talk and 20-minute guided meditation practice - an experience of soothing.
