The Havening Technique

A simple but effective technique by Robin Youngson, M.D., which helps your body calm down and regulate itself. 

It is a new and evolving form of neuro-science therapy that helps permanently treat and heal traumas, anxiety and phobias as well as to create positive alterations in our brain to enhance wellness and resilience.  

In recent years, a growing body of research has focused on the power of the body to heal and to calm itself from the many stresses and distractions that keep us overly stimulated. 

 

This technique focuses on body-mind-spirit and new ways to tap into our body energy.  Regardless of our work we all have found ourselves feeling more demands and pressures. This technique is very easy and quick to learn.  It helps to calm body tensions and to regulate your overloaded nervous systems.  Like any other technique, it works when you work it.  Don’t let its simplicity fool you!!

   

So take a few minutes to relax and calm your body.

Dr. Robin Youngson, MD, walks you through this four-part process, explaining the neuroscience behind it.
