Havening is a simple, yet incredibly powerful technique that has been hailed as one of the most dramatic of current breakthroughs to help people lead happier, healthier lives.

Havening was researched and developed by a medical doctor, Dr. Ronald Ruden and his twin dentist brother, Dr. Steven Ruden. They spent years researching what happens in the brains of people while undergoing successful energy therapies like EMDR and EFT.

Havening is a tool, not a therapy, however, it can be extremely therapeutic. Havening is designed to effectively disconnect a traumatic stimulus from where it gets activated in our brains. The act of Havening touch induces receptivity in the brain, introduces some distractions, and in the process, sets off an electrochemical chain reaction which can lead to the permanent removal (in medical terms, “depotentiation”) of the receptors in the brain that hold onto trauma. After Havening, you may or may not remember the memory or the event. However, if you do remember it, the traumatic response to it is usually no longer present.

And the great part is, you don’t have to understand any of that, you just do this simple technique and it works!

In this Masterclass, you will:

• Learn a simple to do, yet profound, self-care approach to calming and refurbishing your nervous system, especially if you have ever experienced any kind of trauma or anxiety or deep stress.
• Discover how to bring yourself back into balance, whether it be from waking in the middle of the night with a scary dream/thought, your boss has just chewed you out unfairly at work (worse in front of co-workers), or you have embarrassed yourself by saying or doing something you regret.
• Receive a brief lesson in neurobiology: why trauma memories are so “sticky,” why they can get re-ignited literally in a split second, and how to mend those old wounds.
• Have an opportunity to practice Havening on a topic of your choice privately.

The major benefits of Havening are:

• Practicing Havening allows you to erase and replace traumatic memories at source in your nervous system. It is sweet, deep, gentle and regenerative.
• You can benefit from practicing Havening without having to disclose to others what is bothering you — you know, the kind of thing you’ve stuffed, kept deep inside, that’s been eating at you and about which you never told anyone.
• Havening literally gives you a place to find a safe haven, a refuge, a sanctuary within yourself, from your anxiety or traumatic memories.

It’s so simple, but it’s so powerful! It’s an important part of the retreats we do here at Sedona Soul Adventures, because almost everyone has some sort of trauma, stress or anxiety in their lives and it’s part of the release processes that we do. In this class, you have the opportunity to to experience it for yourself.

In the class, to learn the technique, we will begin by doing this process together as a group with everyone on the call. Don’t worry, you can keep your issue totally private if you wish. We will follow up with as many volunteers as we can fit into our time together and you will be amazed at how quickly and completely this process works!

Whenever you need to self-sooth, comfort or calm yourself down, put on a favorite song and self-haven (rubbing hands, stroking from shoulders to elbows, caressing from center outwards forehead and cheeks) and sing along as many times as you wish.
