silence – Lynn Fraser Stillpoint

Stillness

We notice what moves. This is part of the negativity bias in the brain. Being vigilant for potential danger helps keep us safe. Are you held hostage by your primitive brain? This can be dramatic when there is a sudden

WHAT OUR GRADUATES ARE SAYING:

“Find Your Stillpoint, 5 months with Lynn, changed my life. I found in Lynn things I had only read about. I experienced safety, being heard and seen and unlimited compassion. I am grateful for Lynn’s sensitivity, integrity and gentle intelligent guidance through the traumatic events of my life. Under her work, her skill, I have become an adult. I wish this freedom for you.” LL, Canada

“In my experience participating in Find your Stillpoint for two consecutive years, it is a safe place for me to explore my life, and connect with a kind and nurturing community facilitated by a wise, caring, knowledgeable guide whom I trust completely. It is a healing place for me.” Susan R, US

“For the first time in my life, I feel powerful. I think if I got no better than I am today I could live the rest of my life pretty happily.” SD, USA

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way. It’s like what a mother should do for her child. Never reject them for anything. I have had so much violence in my life. This is new.” NJ-USA

“What comes to mind when I think back about this class is the safety I always felt, the knowledge that was shared by not just Lynn but by everyone as they shared their own personal experiences, and the support I forever got. This class helped me form healthier habits – and overcome bad habits that I didn’t even know that I had before.” Sandi Gold, U.S.A.

“Lynn is unwavering in her dedication and commitment to healing the nervous system using her unique blend of body-mind practices and insightful inquiry. She humbly exhibits extensive knowledge, understanding and wisdom related to trauma. What mostly calls me to work with her, however, is because I trust her. Over the past year during group and individual online sessions her warm and compassionate presence and supportive listening style has encouraged me to vulnerably risk continuing on the healing journey, build nervous system resilience and develop greater levels of joy in my life.” ~ Alyson Adashko Raskin, Ph.D, School Psychologist, Neurogenic Yoga and TRE (Tension and Trauma Release) provider, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach https://nurturethenervoussystem.com/

“I realized during these practices that I cannot tolerate silence when with other people. I feel I have to start jabbering away to fill in the empty space. Upon meditating about this, what came up for me was when my parents were fighting (often) and yelling at each other, what followed was silence (sometimes for days and days) which as a child was very threatening to me. I have sat with this realization several times and come to the understanding that silence can be safe, comfortable and non-threatening. I totally enjoy listening to others conversations and have resisted the urge to fill in the silent spaces. I am learning so very much from our daily practices and your workshops. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate and thank you for your wise knowledge, honesty and the kindness and patience you show us.” W.
