Modern life has created conditions where it has become increasingly difficult to identify and manage emotions. Anxiety disorders are the world’s most pressing mental disorder since the pandemic, with levels rising dramatically globally, with 300 million suffering from anxiety disorders (WHO). Meanwhile, many are experiencing a mental health support shortage, with roughly a 1/3 of their population living in officially designated mental health shortage areas, unable to gain access to professional care. Until this shortage is remedied, we could all benefit from developing body-calming self-care skills and emotional resilience.
We hold within our bodies highly intelligent neural pathways that are extremely responsive to new patterns. Self-motivated transformation is possible if you acquire the skills and apply them mindfully.

Reclaim Your Calm includes many lessons on two of the emotional effector patterns taught within the Emotional Body® method: 1a and 2a, as well as lessons on how to apply Zero/Neutral, Step Out, and many evidence-based physical restorative practices. These are the patterns and techniques that most impact our body's ability to down-regulate stress and achieve states of calm, tranquility, and feelings of positive social connections with others, improved self-esteem, physical sensuality, and overall contentment.
These lessons are just a few that we provide within a full Emotional Body® method training available within the method's entire emotion regulation course, which includes the teachings of 6 emotional effector patterns, along with several application exercises. It is, however, an excellent introductory course to help you gain perspective on the effectiveness of the method, while acquiring skills to enhance your emotional resiliency for a lifetime!
The course is taught by Laura Bond and takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete and is designed as an on-demand, learn-on-your-own-time online course with individual lessons in small 10–20-minute segments. This way you can fit the lessons easily into the time you have available over the course of several days or weeks or accomplish the entire course in one day! And it is highly recommended that you return to lessons and repeat them for your ongoing practice and personal development, which is why once you purchase the course, you will have unlimited access to the course platform.

Testimonials from previous online students:
"What a delightfully safe and engaging course in living emotionally! The Emotional Body is about discovering and cultivating emotional clarity, deep personal freedom and creativity. Goodbye boredom, hello humanity!" - Mark Lichtenberger, Feldenkrais Method® Authorized Functional Integration® Teacher
"The Emotional Body offers a fascinating physiologically based way to access emotions and then safely return to a neutral state. What I appreciated most about this training was the way in which the instructors encouraged a gentle curiosity towards how one's body uniquely experiences the emotional patterns. I highly recommend this training for anyone who wants to expand their range of emotional expression whether for personal or professional reasons, and do so in a healthy way, as well as anyone looking to increase their emotional literacy in daily life." - Amy Shearer
“The Emotional Body course is an extremely effective method for exploring basic emotional patterns in the body. Knowing how to get into an emotional state is a very effective way to know how to get out of an emotional state that you are caught in. Knowing how to get to "zero," that is, knowing how to find a place in yourself that is neutral is incredibly freeing.” Richard Hruby, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
"An extremely informative physical exploration of how the body and breath are interwoven and connect to the triggers that spur our emotional feelings". – Michael Kelly, Artistic Director of Shakespeare in Action
"I would recommend this work to anyone who has reservations about accessing challenging emotional material, as it applies to the moment at hand, without evoking emotional memory. Go ahead: surprise yourself. "– Patricia Tedford, Associate Professor of Acting and Voice, Thorneloe at Laurentian University, Sudbury
"I was blown away by The Emotional Body approach to expressing emotions -- the lessons were laid out so that anyone can learn how to get in touch with and express their authentic emotions..." - Carter Morgan, Standup comic and Developer Advocate for Google
"I was skeptical about taking an online course with this material, but this course was phenomenal!" - Natasha Lorca Yannacañedo, Actor/Assistant Professor
“One of the most exciting moments for me was outside of the workshop. I have PTSD and I experienced a trigger. Usually this means I hyperventilate and cry and dissociate. It usually takes a fair bit of time to calm me down, and then I generally stay in a dissociative or semi- dissociative state for many hours after the event. This time I immediately went into zero breath, and within a matter of a minute or so, I was able to communicate, move, see and speak. I have done a lot of work on managing panic and anxiety, including a great deal of breath work, but I have never experienced such a wildly effective technique for taking my body back to a neutral state.” - Kristel Harder, Actor and Singer
