Welcome back to the Journey, friends,
Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself. — Hermann Hesse. This matters because in a world that is constantly moving, having a reliable internal anchor allows us to navigate challenges without losing our center. When we find our sacred anchor, we move from reacting to the world to responding from a place of peace.
Understanding these internal sanctuaries helps us build the practical somatic habits we will explore in our sessions this week. A somatic anchor is a specific physical sensation or focus point that helps calm the nervous system, signaling to your brain that you are safe in the present moment and moving you back into a state of balance.

As we prepare for these gatherings, let us practice finding that steady center within ourselves right now. Sit comfortably and bring your full attention to the soles of your feet. Feel the weight and the texture of the surface beneath you. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth, holding you steady and strong. Stay with this sensation for three deep breaths.
What is one reliable sensation in your body that you can return to when you feel overwhelmed today?
I look forward to walking this path and finding our anchors together.
