Meditative Practices- Ones that focus on guided meditation, breath, and visualization to build awareness of our inner world and body with ease. Inviting ourselves to witness our present states without taking on roles like the “fixer” or “doer”. Exploring our imaginations to bring us insight into what we hold onto from our past and expect of our future. Ultimately, moving towards acceptance of the now, deeper understandings of our true nature, and recognizing what priorities are sustainable to hold in our day to day lives.

Somatic Practices- Ones that emphasize and promote us to witness the connections and perceptions of our body, mind, emotions, and spirit through movement, sound, touch, and breath.

Interpersonal Practices- Ones that utilize our relationships with other people by sharing through conversation, with the facilitator or group members, to promote the benefits of being in connection while being vulnerable. 

Intersectional- The theory of engaging with multiple facets of your identity, like biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural within a practice to witness how they intertwine and affect each other. 

Strength-Based- The theory of recognizing that there are always strengths present, to root in and grow from, when doing self or community-based practices to better our wellbeing. 

Self-Actualization- Building a lifestyle and daily reality that reflects and honors your most authentic desires, needs, and aspirations. 

Whole-Hearted Healing- A lifestyle centered in self love and sustainability in order to prioritize as many parts of your identity when approaching your healing daily.  

Window of Tolerance- When tools are engaged in a way that allows us to look maintain our ability to utilize our greatest levels of processing memories, emotions, and judgements. These cognitive abilities live within the frontal lobe area of our brains and if we remain in a state of being negatively triggered we lose access to this part of our minds. 

Herb Burning Ritual- Sustainably produced, dried herbs are burned over a hot coal to promote their spiritual attributes to be released into the healing space via their smoke. While burning the herb(s) we address the spiritual properties of each herb and utilize somatic tools to process any thoughts, emotions, intentions that may arise.  

Catharsis Focused Somatics- This practice centers the catharsis pillar of Indigo’s somatic journeys. We give extra time and support for energy within your being that may need to be released through purifying techniques rooted in somatic tools. These tools may lead to a deeper emotional response or moments where clients are bravely led out of their window of tolerance intentionally, and then deescalated and soothed back into a rejuvenative state as we process what was uncovered. Great for building awareness, resilience, and autonomy as you process feelings rooted in general grief or fear.
