3 Ingredients to get your Mojo moving: Movement. Laughter. Love.
What we feel we can heal. But we can’t heal until we feel.
When we keep disconnecting from our emotions just to get through the day, those feelings we’ve shoved aside often resurface later – leaving us feeling depressed. Or enraged. Or numb. Or stressed. Or so very alone.
We find our way back to joy by connecting with ourselves, not by disconnecting.
Come learn how movement, laughter and love will help you:
- Shake off stagnancy
- Say goodbye to stress
- Feel comfortable in your body
- Process unprocessed emotions
- Get in touch with your radiant beauty and power
Immersive Guided Meditation Enables a Deep Dive Into Calm
Meditation used in an immersive guided way enables us to listen to that still small voice of wisdom living inside that often gets drowned out by all of the noise surrounding us. This inner wisdom helps guide us on our path and gets to the center of our real values, motives and beliefs by cutting through all of the cognitive congestion that accumulates in our minds. When we can settle our own physiology by engaging our natural calming system through guided meditation, it acts like a reset on a computer and produces thoughts and feelings of being calm, centered and at peace.
What Does A Deep Dive Into Calm Do?
- It engages our calming nervous system so we can integrate subconscious thoughts to form deeper insights
- Enables us to form positive feedback loops to replace negative ones and re-wire our brain through plasticity
- Increases our mental processing power to improve perceptiveness, problem solving and decision making
- Enables our neurochemistry to enter into a flow state which helps us to tap into our inner wisdom more easily
The Neuroscience of Safety
The foundation of healing, growth and presence is creating safety inside ourselves, within our body and nervous system.
It can be hard to know where to begin with that.
The best place to start is with foundational knowledge of how your operating system works – and practical tools to begin a practice of improving nervous system health on a daily level.
Build a foundation of safety from the body to the brain.
- Understand how to begin working with your nervous system for more presence and grounding.
- Learn what is happening in the body and brain when we don’t feel safe.
- Come away with practical actionable tools for self-regulation.
- Start to become the expert of your own nervous system- find your unique deficits and restore those areas within yourself.
- Cultivate a process for understanding what is driving neuroplasticity and adaptation in a positive or negative direction for you.
