The Havening Techniques® is a set of tools that utilizes specific applied touch combined with some mindfulness based exploration. This can lead to a gentler and easier shift to a better balanced state, in our body and mind.
When individuals apply on themselves, it can be called Self-Havening – to create one’s own safe Haven.
In our “ABC of Self Regulation Tapping” workshops that have been delivered all over the campus since 2020, actions similar to Arm and Hand Havening moves have been incorporated, so the Havining Touch may already feel familiar to you. Thanks to the funding approval in spring 2024 by the SGA Mental Health Coalition, and with Havening.org‘s support, we are now excited to be able to offer workshops introducing the IP protected Havening Techniques on campus freely, and at no charge.
Sensory Based Stress Management Workshops (includes Self-Havening®)
15 min – 60 min experiential workshops are available to lead participants with some simple stress coping skills to support self-regulation, so individuals can feel calmer and manage stress better in the moment. If interested in hosting these workshop for your class or unit, please send the request to tapping@ece.gatech.edu.
I felt my body relax and let out a huge sigh of relief almost immediately after we began Havening. We all could benefit from incorporating stress management practices, and this one is relatively “quick and easy” so I see a lot of value in it for students. I would absolutely recommend.
