Description
AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW!
An Invitation to Notice: A Guide for Nurturing Your Nervous System for Regulation, Resilience and Rest is a holistic, compassionate and unshaming approach to healing, repair and empowerment. The book integrates education and experiential practice, which are both needed to shift from surviving to thriving in our lives.
The book shares a body-orientated model, offering Ten ‘Invitations’ which replace the traditional ‘chapters.’ Throughout the book there are carefully curated Invitations to Pause encouraging the reader to slow down and reflect on what has been shared from a body-mind perspective. It is a practical book about noticing the interconnection between the body, brain and mind. Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, with Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal Theory being at the heart of each Invitation.
An Invitation to Notice is a call to pay close attention and increase your curiosity about what is happening in the present moment, both inside of you, and outside of you in a safe and gradual way. When there is stored stress in our nervous system it can manifest as anxiety, fear, procrastination, depression, irritation, road rage, chronic pain, digestive issues, and muscle tension. Our minds can get hijacked by over-thinking, self-doubt, unhelpful beliefs and untrue narratives. An Invitation to Notice will guide you through a ‘bottom-up’ approach of releasing these stored stressors in the body gently.
Understanding how the autonomic nervous system operates is the first stage of noticing. However, in order to witness significant shifts and changes within our own survival stress responses, we must learn how to nurture our own nervous system. Regulation occurs when we know how to relate and attune to our needs. There is a difference between knowing and experiencing. An Invitation to Notice provides you with the tools and techniques to tune in and track your own nervous system for improved flexibility, responsiveness and the agency to create healthy boundaries.
This is more than just a book – An Invitation to Notice is call for community, connection, collaboration, choice, and consent. It is an invitation to transform pain into power and use it for good in the world.
Welcome to An Invitation to Notice! I’m so pleased our paths have crossed and as a self-published author I am deeply grateful for your order.
Warmly,
