Discover your body's neural pathways to calmness, safety, and
connection. An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even
an obnoxious tweet--these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we
often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most
perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be
incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop
overreacting and start responding to the world with greater safety
and ease: Polyvagal Theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana
shares a down-to-earth presentation of Polyvagal Theory, then
brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to
transform your relationship with your body. Using field-tested
techniques, Dana helps you master the skills to become more aware
of your nervous system moment to moment--and change the way you
respond to the great and small challenges of life. Here, you'll
explore: - Polyvagal Theory--get to know the biology and function
of your vagus nerve, the highway of the nervous system -
Befriending Your Nervous System--attune to what's going on in your
body by developing your "neuroception" - Using Your Vagal
Brake--discover key techniques to consciously regulate the
intensity of your emotions - Connection and Protection--learn to
recognize and influence your internal cues for safety and danger -
Your Social Engagement System--find ways to create nourishing
relationships with others and the world around you - Practices and
guidance to gently shape your nervous system for greater
resilience, intuition, safety, and wonder Through guided imagery,
meditation, self-inquiry, and more, Anchored offers a practical
user's manual for moving from a place of fear and panic into a
grounded space of balance and confidence. "Once we know how our
nervous system works, we can work with it," teaches Deb Dana. "We
can learn to access an embodied, biological resource that is always
present, available, and there to guide us toward well-being."
