Orienting: its simplicity and complexity explained.

Orienting (aka: taking in and connecting to the world around you) is complex, but it’s also incredibly simple. In this video, you’ll learn about:

The importance (and power) of orienting to the environment around us
Hyper-alertness (when we’re stuck in survival-based or defensive orienting)
Tunnel-vision (when we’re too scared to look, the flipside of defensive orienting)
The positive side-effects of practicing exploratory (aka: non survival-based) orienting
Why orienting is both a foundational tool AND not enough on its own to heal your nervous system

Enjoy the learning!
