Has your self care slipped away and fatigue set in?

Caring for others over the last few years may have left you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

 

Being a health professional means you are often giving out more than taking in, and under constant stress, with often not enough time to check in with yourself.

You'll be totally taken care of.

I came back more reintegrated as we are already integrated beings as Mohan says ... we just get stuck in our heads more than our bodies.  

Being a highly sensitive person I take in a lot of energy from
Others in my work and personal life
This gave me a chance to reintegrate my body and mind through the breath and movement

And then there's the magic of reconnecting with others

Sharing, listening and caring. 

We are naturally social animals. Yet we understand how our nervous systems need to feel safe before they want to engage with others.

We'll be applying the Polyvagal Theory to all our self regulating practices, guided by the wisdom of our evolving human nature.
