Embodied Mindfulness for Self-Regulation

I’m Steve Templin, a retired Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Acupuncturist, and Biofeedback practitioner. Now I teach embodied mindfulness for self-regulation to people who could benefit most, yet have struggled to learn or to refine their mindfulness skills.

This unique mindfulness style provides the student with a variety of embodied self-regulation skills for safely resolving the stress-induced programming that creates or perpetuates many chronic emotional or physical symptoms, like anxiety, depression, or chronic pain. 

These embodied practices allow students to safely reconnect with the felt wisdom of their body, and restore balance to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), while letting go of limiting, outdated, stress-induced patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior.

Individuals with buried, unresolved stress often find the process of mindfulness difficult to impossible because their nervous systems are guarded against change. While they’re protected from feeling old wounds, they’re also vulnerable to the emotional or physical symptoms created by a nervous system that’s been working too hard, for too long.

These embodied practices gently go under one’s protective radar to lay a foundation of greater neurological balance and safety that supports meaningful change and transformation.

The process of embodiment also nurtures the experience of a larger, non-material sense of self that connects the individual to a field of authentic, intuitive guidance.

This process is based on 35 years of my clinical work, trauma-related neuroscience, Energy Medicine, Somatic Psychology, and HeartMath science and practices. 

This practice is particularly well suited to the sensitivity and needs of the highly sensitive person (HSP). Here they learn not only the practices but also the neuroscience that validates their self-healing (and self-regulating) power.

I’ve validated this unique approach with thousands of hours of heart rate variability sessions and positive client outcomes.
