<p>I’ve been wondering if there isn’t another phrase that works better than, “I am safe.” I feel my body rejects that phrase as untrue, because life is not safe… it is beautiful, good, lovely, joyful… but not safe.  </p><p>I have a list that I’m working with… I haven’t hit on something that feels completely 100% true and comforting, yet. Maybe by sharing someone else can find it.</p><p>I am safe, right now. What happened is not happening anymore and I am safe.</p><p>No matter what happens, I can find healing. (As a Christian, and I acknowledge and respect that not everyone is and that there are many different beautiful religions.) But, for me, as a Christian I believe healing in this life or the next is possible because of the Savior’s Atonement.  Rest, safety, healing, strengthening after we heal all these things are possible… so it’s a safety net… but that’s a paragraph… not a phrase…</p><p>And. That’s all I have. </p><p>Anyone else have other ideas or beliefs that help you?</p>

It was hard to press play on this one since this was the last practice my sweet Smokee Bear participated in the day before he died exactly 5 months ago. Wild how things always line up. I had to take a moment to gather and regroup before plus watered the mat a couple times during. His last participation was knocking on heavens door which sounds unreal and I remember pressing pause to love on him until he wanted to rest again. Oh Smo, you will always be missed so darn much. So grateful for the 16 years with him, but could’ve handled 16 more. The pains of loving wholeheartedly (worth it). 💙💚❤️

Just what I needed after very sad news. “My number one tool for regulating flight or flight,” beloved accountability and proximity kitty, and so much more has cancer. Send all your love, strength, and peace to my dear Smokee Bear. He chippered up with Benji’s entrance. I’m going to miss him so much. 💔

Recently recieved the diagnosis of PTSD, and I continue eyeing this practice. I'm not quite ready yet, but I'm grateful it's here for me when I am. ❤️ Means a lot that this practice exists.

<p>I loved this video. It also made me nauseous (I noticed other commenters stating that), but that made me think/feel that I was releasing some of my trauma. I have been reading about yoga and all the ways it is helpful for childhood trauma, especially sexual abuse. I was wondering if there are certain videos/practices that are particularly helpful for healing childhood trauma? From what I have read, it says that restorative yoga is the most helpful. Just curious if anyone is in the same place as me and what videos have helped them with dealing with the issues that arise from childhood sexual abuse. Thank you for all that you do! This is such an amazing community. </p>

I tried this a few times but somehow there is too much going on in the beginning, talking, changing poses, that it makes me rather nervous. But thank you for making this offering that seems to help so many people. I turn to my other favs…🙂😗❤️

This is amazing...kind of scary how my body reacts with nausea to this, the practice helps me coping with my trauma as I try to trust myself finishing my medical studies, although it sometimes feels impossible with my mental health and when i can't even trust myself to leave the house...

<p>She just knows🙏🏻</p>

<p>Amazing! I normally avoid 40 minute practices in favor of 20 min ones but this called to me as I am traumatized daily by how Mother Earth is being treated. When one of us isn’t safe then none of us are safe. Thank you for this opportunity to get out of the mind and into the body</p>

<p>Downloading slowly. Day 7 of no power, wifi, and sporadic cell service here in western NC. Also downloaded: Yoga for when you are scared, and my go to in times of trouble, Yoga for after disaster. Grateful to have water, a generator, and my yoga. 🙏🏻 </p>
