Finding safety in times of stress
Safety is a feeling we can access in our body at any time, anywhere. When we orient to safety, we are providing our brain with knowledge that we are not under immediate threat of life or death. When you are in a state of overwhelm, fear, panic, flight (which many of us are heading into at the moment with the worry and exposure to rapid changes and the situation with Covid-19) - the physiological response is to diminish the function of the immune system Why, because all your resources are going towards fleeing or fighting an imminent threat (which is what your primal brain thinks is happening) and not to dealing with viruses and pathogens. Unless you are right now, in this very moment, in a life or death situation, you do not need to be in a panic state and you do have the ability to return to balance in your nervous system, to calm down and to enable optimal function of your immune system. Finding safety in your body, supports you to do that. Access this free resource here. When you do, you will also be spreading calm in the community which is especially helpful now to enhance our immunity.
