Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based technique that uses simple touch to help the brain heal from trauma, anxiety, and phobias. By generating calming delta brain waves, Havening can permanently reduce the negative effects of distressing memories, enhance wellness, and build resilience. The methods are easy to learn, rapid, and can be self-applied or guided by a certified practitioner.

To practice Havening, begin with clean hands. By gently rubbing specific areas of your body, you trigger Delta brain waves-calming waves associated with deep relaxation and healing. This process helps release feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin, supporting emotional regulation, stress reduction, and an overall sense of peace and well-being.Try these four gentle methods:

1) Forehead Stroking:
Lightly stroke your forehead with your fingertips.2) Cheek Stroking:
Gently stroke your cheeks in a soothing motion.3) Arm Stroking:
Slowly stroke your upper arms down to your elbows.4) Palms Together:
Gently rub your palms together in a comforting gesture.

Each method is designed to help you feel calm, safe, and grounded-anytime, anywhere.

The evidence-based, action program for moving beyond death, divorce, and other losses.Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to change or loss of any kind. The problem is we have been socialized to believe these feelings are abnormal and unnatural.People say you have to let go, get over it, and move on in your life, but they don't tell you what to do to accomplish that. The Grief Recovery Method Program not only makes that possible but provides partnership and guidance to ensure that it happens.
