What if you felt safe in your body whenever you went out into the world?
This is embodied safety, and it's something that you can cultivate so you have a felt sense of safety within you.
What does embodied safety feel like to you? Do you feel safe when you are in community? When you exercise or dance? When you are alone, enjoying the quiet solitude? It is a unique feeling for each person.
The Somatic Coaching process utilizes bottom-up approaches, including EFT Tapping and Polyvagal Theory, to support you on your journey into embodied awareness. Polyvagal Theory "is a way of understanding how our nervous system responds to different situations, like stress, danger or safety." Learn more about Polyvagal Theory here.
EFT Tapping is a powerful somatic tool that can gently shift emotional & energetic blocks and reduce stress. Other somatic practices include mindfulness, breath work, movement, chakra alignment, energy practices, and creative writing/drawing. Human Design can also be utilized to gain an awareness of energetic needs.
We will explore what it feels like when you feel safe in your body, and how to cultivate this in your daily life.
By cultivating your sense of embodied safety, you will build your self-confidence and increase your self-awareness. Feeling safe means that you will feel more comfortable socializing and making connections with other people. Additional benefits include: increased feelings of playfulness and joy, and reduced feelings of overwhelm and fatigue.

What is EFT Tapping?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it involves tapping on acupressure points* while you are speaking about something that’s emotionally charged, followed by an acceptance statement. For example, the set-up statement of: “Even though I'm feeling angry and disappointed,” followed by an acceptance statement of: “I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
As a result of tapping on acupressure points, while expressing your emotions, your cortisol levels are quickly lowered, promoting a feeling of well-being. Here is a recent study that shows that EFT Tapping, an “evidence-based self-help therapeutic method,” Improves Multiple Physiological Markers of Health.
*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these acupressure points are located along meridians of energy in the body. Read more about these energy channels in the body (meridians in TCM, and nadis in Ayurveda).
