Hello, and welcome back to the Self Healer Soundboard.

This episode we are diving back into the workbook How to Meet Yourself.

We've been going cover to cover in the workbook and are currently on Section 3, Meet Your

Emotional Self.

If you are following along with your own workbook, we are doing the exercises today at the very

end of Section 3, unpaid 161, rewire your mind and body for safety.

So before we can dive into a conversation about rewiring our mind and body for safety, it'll

be helpful to understand how safety happens.

And how safety happens is really a function of our nervous system, of our vagus nerve in

particular, whose main function is really to shift our body from those states of threat

or activation when we feel stressed or upset back into that peace, calm, centered sense

of safety.

It's our vagus nerve that really helps us shift back and forth.

Now a couple episodes ago, we explored witnessing our triggers or those moments of activation

when things happen in our environments and our relationships and we feel our body

shift into those threat or stress or upset based states.

Now to begin to rewire our mind and body for safety, we can also begin to identify those

moments or what are called glimmers, a term coined by Dr. Stephen Porgis, or safety signals

is a really simple way to think of what a glimmer is.

Where are those moments in time or those experiences where we naturally are able to access

that sense of safety?

That's really what a glimmer is.
