As coaches, we understand the need to meet our clients where they’re at and instinctively tune into their nervous systems. Polyvagal theory helps us refine this capacity and provides a framework to help our clients understand their nervous systems better. In this conversation with consultant Dab Dana we explore the three organising principles of polyvagal theory, coregulation, methods of self-regulation, how to adapt to your client’s nervous system and how to approach trauma. 
 
Deb Dana, LCSW, is a clinician, consultant, author and speaker specializing in complex trauma. Her work is focused on using the lens of Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma in our lives. She is well known for translating Polyvagal Theory into a language and application that is both understandable and accessible - for clinicians and curious people alike. Deb is a consultant to the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium in the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University and the author of several books, including the upcoming book, “Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory”.

10 Minute Meditation To Alleviate Anxiety

If you're reading this, chances are that your life, or the life of someone you know, is shaped by pain—and by the physical and emotional suffering that usually accompany it.
Mindfulness of breathing—how to “put out the welcome mat” for whatever arises in one's experience
What to do about pain—how to work with intense and unwanted sensations
Working with thoughts and emotions—how to avoid identifying with your experience of pain and instead see sensations and thoughts as sensations and thoughts
Resting in awareness—a three-minute mindful pause to restore balance, resilience, and self-compassion
Mindfulness in everyday life—allowing the nitty-gritty of one's daily life to be both the ultimate meditation teacher and the real meditation practice

Aurora Borealis "Northern Lights" Guided Meditation - Yoga Nidra for Relaxation & Better Sleep

When you ALIGN with your true self, you live your most vibrant, fulfilling life and make the world a better place. Inspired by the ancient concept of the 7 chakras, we have crafted 7 special songs that symbolize the metaphor of each chakra. Each song its also written in the chakra's musical key, to enhance the mind-body experience. These songs are my stories, my reminders of how to come back home to my true nature, time after time. Now they are yours too <3 RENAE
