Many people who engage in contemplative practices in modern non-collective society are lacking a key aspect of spiritual practice that is often overlooked and unnamed: co-regulation. Collective societies’ co-regulation strategies educate the nervous system to relax without losing oneself in contemplative practice and with reduced anxiety throughout the lifespan. We will look at the experience of synchronization and co-regulation in the context of spiritual practice in this session. We will explore the experience of providing a holding space for a client’s spiritual practice inside a SE session through dyads and discussion.
Glyndie Nickerson, MA, PhD, SEP, is a Somatic Experiencing International faculty member who teaches the Beginning and Intermediate years of the SE training as well as providing group and individual consultations to SE students and alumni. Glyndie also leads courses on SE and spiritual practice, as well as co-regulation and mourning. Trusting and learning from nature, as well as the moment-by-moment unfolding of the body’s knowledge, has been a lifetime curiosity and practice, leading to an early involvement with somatic and healing practices in 1993. Glyndie’s SE teaching is influenced by current neuropsychological research, the biopsychosocial model, object relations, attachment theory, family systems, Jungian, and relational psychoanalysis perspectives, as well as the creative and spiritual blossoming that, surprisingly, often occurs alongside post-traumatic growth. Her meditation practice serves as a foundation for her work.
Glyndie is a touch training graduate of Kathy Kain, a former faculty member of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and a former massage therapist and yoga instructor. Glyndie recognizes and supports awareness of collective and personal trauma due to cultural, racial, political, class, sexual orientation, and gender difference as part of the healing process, based on her work in community mental health in Western Massachusetts and overseas with tsunami victims, domestic abuse survivors, and ex-political prisoners in India. A passion is facilitating the respect of one’s own physical experience against the frequently louder background of cultural indoctrination.
