Shifting States with the Calm Place

This guide follows up on the Calm Place meditation. If you have not already done a Calm Place meditation, please find one here.

Shifting states is a skill that helps us get to know how our nervous system is connected to the sensations in the body. Using mindfulness to notice both pleasant and less-than-pleasant states, this meditation begins to strengthen the ability to gently accept and shift states in times of stress or disturbance.
