nervous system regulation
toolkit for crisis responders
“Being the Ground” is a free multimedia, multilingual toolkit for nervous system regulation for people organizing on the frontlines of crisis. It was created by The Embodiment Institute in partnership with Latinx Therapists Action Network, Coaching for Healing, Justice, and Liberation, and network of individual practitioners.
If you are responding to ICE raids, climate catastrophe, other state and imperialist violence, displacement, or the many intersecting frontlines: we hold you in gratitude and care, and this toolkit is for you! When we are facing crises, practice can support us to mobilize the body for action, to assess and generate safety, to give and receive support, and to allow energy to flow through after activation.
