Get out of your funk in 20 minutes with self-havening.
This Self-Havening Activity is made for you if:
You woke up feeling ‘suboptimal’ and in a bit of a funk
You’re feeling activated or “triggered” by something or someone and can’t shake it
You’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed by your current situation
You’re ready for a reset, to get out of your funk or current state, so you can feel lighter and in control for the rest of your day.
This Self-Havening Activity is not appropriate:
For specific traumatic memories or PTSD resurfacing

Trouble Shooting
-
If you're finding it difficult to hold your focus on the distractions or it's racing back to what's happening in your life while Havening this may be an indicator that there's something bigger going on. Please get in contact with me kamaia@ourcollective.co and we can book you in for a session to help.

When applying the Havening Touch, our brains move from the normal "stress and go go go mode" to "safety, rejuvenation and the subconscious".
Sometimes when our brains enter this "safe zone" and out of stress, things that are ready to be honoured and healed can come up, as if knocking on the door saying "look at me, I'm ready".
If this happens during this process, write them down to honour that they've come into your awareness to be healed.
For safety do not attempt to Haven the past memories alone and book in a session to release.

Yes (if this feels good for you).
The therapeutic benefit and calming down of the stress response really comes from the Havening Techniques.
There are special receptors on our skin that are sensitive to warm hands, and light touch. When applying the Havening Touch this sends signals of safety to the brain and creates a "safe haven" inside of our mind and body.
Research has shown that touch can decrease stress hormones and increase the happy hormones, whilst promoting stress reduction.
If you accidentally forget to do the touch during the distraction rounds, return to havening when you remember.
