Presenting @ the Int'l Focusing Conference

I am really pleased to be introducing "Restoring Connection" at the International Focusing Conference in Montreal on Thursday May 15th. Although I definitely consider myself to be an integrationist, Focusing serves as an underpinning for everything I do.
And as a practice it is one I come home to again and again and again. Given its central importance to "Restoring Connection", it is only right that the model should first be introduced within that community.

HeartMath & Self-Regulation

Given that nervous system resilience and self-regulation are such important aspects of the "Restoring Connection" model, I'm always looking for effective means of facilitating this. I'm finding HeartMath and their EmWave in particular to be excellent tools for self-regulation, enabling me to be more Present. HeartMath offers various techniques for doing this. Effectiveness is measured through one of their biofeedback mechanisms. You have to play around & see what works for you. What brings you into self-regulation may not do so for me and vice versa. Following the up & down blue lights on the EmWave while breathing deeply is extremely effective for me. I also enjoy their FREE Heart Quotes M-F, as well as their FREE weekly Inner Quality Tip.
