The Essential Skill You Need for Emotional Self-Regulation

And what does the body have to do with emotional regulation? In this experiential mindfulness and emotional awareness class, we’ll explore how thoughts, body sensations, emotions and behaviours are connected — and why becoming more aware of what is happening inside us can help us respond to life with greater clarity and choice. We’ll also look at the purpose of emotions, why they are not the enemy, and how learning to notice their early signals can help prevent us from becoming overwhelmed or reactive. Through simple breathing, body-awareness and self-regulation practices, you’ll begin exploring how to create a little more space between what happens to you and how you respond. The session concludes with an immersive guided meditative story designed to deepen the experience and bring the teachings to life in a memorable way. What happens when we lose touch with the signals of the body? Can we regulate emotions we are not fully aware of? And how much can change when we learn to pause before reacting? Come explore the questions for yourself. What to Expect This is not a lecture or a traditional meditation class. Each session combines practical teaching, breath and body awareness, an immersive meditative story, and time for reflection, questions and connection. No previous mindfulness or meditation experience is required. Come for one session or join us for several. Each class stands on its own while also forming part of the six-part From Striving to Thriving series.
