Inviting Safety into Your Life

With Bhanu Joy Harrison

In this four (4) day course, we will explore specific mindfulness skills to build and grow our sense of safety. We live in an ever-changing and unpredictable world right now, which can keep us overly hypervigilant. Each day of this course I will offer information about safety and our nervous system and guide you through a specific somatic, trauma-informed skill designed to enhance your sense of well-being and regulation in your body, mind, and heart. Learn how we can untangle the past from our present-moment experiences and rewire our nervous system to notice and savor more goodness in our lives.

Lesson 1

What is Safety?

In our first session we will talk about safety and how our nervous system is wired to “protect” us as well as “connect” us. Neuroception, a term coined by Dr. Stephen Porges will be explained and the three realms of where we look for safety will be described. Our practice today is “orienting”, a trauma informed skill that brings us right back to the present moment where we can more accurately assess our level of safety in the moment.

Lesson 2

Tracking Sensations

Learning the language of our body through the experience of sensation is vital to our experience of safety. Interoception, or the ability to perceive sensations inside our body, is often called our 6th sense. We will explore a variety of sensations in our interoception practice today.

Lesson 3

Anchoring Safety Experiences in our Nervous System

Our nervous system is wired to pay more attention to experiences that are painful or threatening. This is a survival strategy that helps us stay alive. However, when we don’t pay attention to safe and positive experiences in our lives, we over-focus on danger. Today’s Anchoring Safety practice (inspired by Deb Dana, LCSW) helps us focus on people, places, activities and events that were safe or positive for us. Focusing on these remembered experiences helps us build stronger neural pathways to notice and grow safety.

Lesson 4

Embodying Your Resources

A resource is any activity, person or practice that brings us to a state of greater calm and restfulness. To empower a resource to build new neural pathways requires that we actually ‘embody’ the experience of a resource. In the last class of this course, we will build on our skills of orienting and tracking sensations and deepen our anchor practice to experience the felt sense of our resources. Then we will track what happens in our body as we stay with the sensations of our resource. With practice, resourcing can be a powerful tool to ground and settle your body, mind and heart.

Thanks so much for this course. I have some knowledge of techniques to feel safe but your course has helped me to understand and to practice them with your guidance. Your voice is very soothing and each lesson really explains what to do and helped me to recognise what happens in my body when I do them. I will go over this course many times as I find it so helpful.
