Focusing Teacher Annette Dubreuil will share the various ways that felt sense body cards can be used to record our embodied experiences. This includes recording the felt sense that emerges in an individual Focusing or meditation session, or recording parts or qualities of ourselves.

Once a part is identified, we can see where it lives in our autonomic nervous system and what role it plays. Noticing these aspects help us classify the parts according to Polyvagal Theory, or other classification systems like Internal Family Systems.

One can then create a map of one's nervous system or a timeline of one's life to tell your life story.

The body cards also help us be more aware of when we are starting to shift neurophysiological states in real life, allowing us to call on our daily practices to self-regulate in the moment, including calling on some quality of Self energy (for example one of the 8Cs of Self-Leadership).

Examples of body cards, nervous system mapping and a timeline will be shared.

Finally, a Focusing exercise will be guided so you can better get to know one of your qualities of Self.
