Imagine a compass guiding you in life, not just to “survive” but to live deeply, meaningfully, and resiliently.

You no longer react out of fear, avoidance, or survival; instead, you consciously choose your responses, acting with intention, clarity, and heart.

“The people who have survived trauma teach us about what it is to be human, by teaching us what they’ve lost – and they’ve lost the ability to feel safe enough with another.” ~ Stephen Porges
It got me thinking deeply about how the need for connection and social engagement. How, at a time when we could use the support of others, the hearts of others, some of us just can’t open up to receive those benefits – instead, we close our hearts, we isolate and we shut down to protect ourselves.
This article explores the profound need and impact of feeling safe within ourselves and with others, and offering practical steps to cultivate inner safety, regulation, and resilience through heart-centered practices, so we can ultimately connect with others, and mutually reinforce resilience and wellbeing.
