Join us for our 3rd Annual Self Care September to learn tools to quickly energize without those empty "rest more to feel better" promises.
In this Sensory Rest Tool Kit the best place to begin is with the Sensory Rest Signs of Depletion so that you can more easily identify which areas you are experiencing sensory depletion most of right now. This is a great place to start and especially helpful to those of us who are alexithymic.
Then, take the Sensory Rest Assessment to help you pin point which Sensory Area you'd like to focus on based on your Sensory Needs.
Play and experience tapping into your sensory system in a whole new way with our exclusive Sensory Body Appraisal Tool. This tool will help you easily identify what you are feeling, experiencing and give you a map to the restoration or harmony you need in the moment.
Next, try one of the Sensory Rest Exercises/resources to help you bring harmony, calm, focus or energy into that specific area you identified in your assessment and body appraisal.
Finally, allow yourself space and processing time to test and check back in with yourself and your sensory system regularly. Sensory Rest takes time and consistent practice. Through these tools you will be building trust within your mind and nervous system that you are allowed to experience harmony and calm, this is a relationship that many of us have not had the safety to build for a multitude of reasons. Be kind and patient with yourself and your body.
***If you also experience co-occurring health conditions including POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and/or EDS (Ehler's Danlos Syndrome) or one of the forms of hypermobility, know that there are many layers in our sensory experience and we are neurodistinct brains AND bodies. This may take time and compassionate curiosity about yourself.
