Staying Grounded in Uncertain Times

• In Event: Wellness: Staying Grounded in Uncertain Times (v)

Short Description

Research has confirmed that trauma and prolonged stress are not only cognitive experiences; they are also bodily experiences. When not addressed, these experiences settle into our body and wreak havoc on our internal systems, including our immune and nervous systems. Research also tells us that mind/body approaches, such as grounding, breathing, movement, and meditative exercises, have the highest potential to heal the bodily tissues that hold this prolonged stress and trauma. This session is filled with research-based experiential learning for practitioners using grounding, breathing, and meditative exercises from the disciplines of yoga and Qigong that will help you build your resilience and create space for healing.
