The Movement Therapy Deck: 52 Mindful Movement Exercises to Regulate Your Nervous System and Process Trauma - Other

An easy-to-use mindful movement deck with accompanying 64-page booklet--52 embodied practices to relieve stress, heal from trauma, and find emotional balance

For fans of Mindfulness Cards, the Trauma-Informed Yoga Affirmation Card Deck and The Body Positivity Card Deck

Each trauma-informed mindful movement card features a simple exercise to help you reconnect with your body, release tension, and find grounding amid a destabilizing world--at your own pace, and in your own time.

Designed to be used in whatever way feels right to you, the 52 Movement Therapy cards can be incorporated into a daily somatic ritual or pulled as needed in times of stress, worry, or dissociation.

The deck is split into four themes, and each beautifully designed card is color-coded for easy use. Breath; Dance and Movement; Floor Work; and Sensory exercises work together to support your nervous system, cultivate joy, and connect you to your body in simple, powerful ways. You'll learn to:

• Be present in the moment by focusing on your senses
• Encourage rest and recuperation with gentle floor poses
• Calm and energize your body with regulation breath
• Discharge built-up tension by moving your body in small ways through dance and movement
• Nourish your nervous system by spending time outside or in nature

A companion guide explains each prompt, shares gentle instructions, and invites you to bypass the demands and negative chatter of your cognitive mind--to move, to pause, to dance, or to drop into grounded, embodied presence. The booklet also explains what movement therapy is, why it works, and how it can work for you.
