What is Anchor Your Heart?
The Anchoring Heart is a simple self-help tool you can use once you decide to reckon with uncomfortable feelings. Shifting your relationship to uncomfortable feelings requires courage to connect with all the parts of yourself: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Learning how to abide and reckon with feelings separating you from "you" will decrease fear of emotions that you deny yourself feeling and increase your tolerance of discomfort so that you can grow into the person you are meant to be.
The Anchor Your Heart practice:
- Helps you re-train your brain and nerve pathways in your nervous system to allow emotional pain and hurt to sit side by side with peace (instead of fear)
- Exerts self-compassion when you feel anxious, stressed or helpless
- Can be used when you need strength, courage or patience
"I have a very stressful position and find myself using 'Anchor Your Heart' in tough situations as well as placing my hand (with permission) on client's hearts to help support them. It is an easy, simple technique with a high impact."
