This speaks to the nervous system regulation available to many people in nature. As polyrhythmic beings we find resonance and harmony in co-regulating with the tides and rhythms of nature much as we co-regulate with our primary caregiver through contact in infancy, our heart beat finding coherence, harmony and regulation alongside that of another. Their steady rhythm and energy informing us that we too are ok, through our somatic attachment.
Of course the opposite can also be true. Surrounded by disregulation, noise, chaos and dissonance our nervous system loses its harmonious rhythm and co-regulates with the disonance in our environment or the disregulated nervous system of our caregiver or the nervous system of our family unit and community.
So where all else fails and harmony is hard to find, nature cradles us, soothes us and reminds us that we are in fact safe and sound ๐
Therapy offers a similar containment. Sharing space with a regulated other offers an island of harmony and a reparative experience. Safe therapeutic touch goes a level deeper; CST focusing of the harmony of tides and rhythm within our system goes a level deeper again.
We know ourselves first through our physical connection - skin on skin, nervous system to nervous system. So choose wisely what you connect to and how you restore balance. Pay attention to how everything and everyone makes you feel.
Nature. Music. Sound. Therapy. Safe Touch.
