My Heartsongs Podcast #139: Centering

I prefer the term centering, but others use grounding, self-regulation, resourcing or calming. I believe they are essentially the same sense of coming home to the body in a way that communicates we are safe, and allows for a pause that prevents us from reacting blindly when triggered, or from withdrawing. Breathing in, I am present to whatever is, Breathing out, I calm myself, and shift to a more empowered state.
