Teaching is heartwork—and it can also be exhausting. Daily transitions, classroom demands, andthe emotional load of caring can wear down even the strongest educators.

This guide offers small somatic resets to recharge between classes, protect your nervous system and support student regulation.

In this heartfelt and reflective post, Anthony Musick, LMFT, invites readers to re-member their innate connection to nature—not as an outside resource, but as an extension of self. Drawing from somatic and ecological wisdom, Anthony outlines simple yet powerful practices to reawaken our felt-sense relationship with the Earth. Through practices like introducing yourself to the land, observing the dance of tides, or mirroring animal movements, we begin to experience nature not just as healer—but as friend.

Explore how trauma impacts the nervous system and why healing begins with safety, not insight. Learn the body’s survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how they shape our reactions today.
