These delta waves:
a) produce a feeling of or a “safe haven”. This feeling of safety counteracts the perceived sense of inescapability of the trauma, thus removing one of the four components of trauma encoding, and
b) cause a series of electrochemical changes leading to the production of the which removes the phosphorus from the encoded receptors and so they can recede.

Havening is a psycho-sensory therapy technique (a mind-body connection) that’s easy to use every day of the week. In just a few minutes, it can change your brainwave state so that you can actually disconnect the emotions that are stuck in your brain related to certain traumatic and stressful events. Here’s how it works. First, identify the stressful event. Then, identify your emotions attached to that event (you can even write this down). Then, create an affirmation that will help disconnect your emotions from the challenging situation, such as, “i am calm, i am at peace, i am safe,” “i am open to being compassionate,” “i am hopeful,” “i open my heart to friendship,” or “i open my mind to learning.
The first ministry i was called to before i was even ordained was working with trauma. After my fear steered me away from a role as a domestic abuse worker at women's aid on several occasions, it got to the point where i couldn't not apply. It was so obvious the role was meant for me! working with trauma has turned out to be a healing journey for me personally. Funny how that happens! over the years i've looked into many clearing therapies including emdr, eft, journeywork and rewind therapy to sit alongside my meditation teaching, and after ordination havening techniques was the one that called to me.
