Anchored | Deb Dana
Why it is included: "Staying grounded" is not a metaphor; it is a specific biological skill.
Deb Dana translates the complex science of Polyvagal Theory into a practical user manual.
She teaches us to identify which "neural platform" we are standing on: Ventral Vagal (Safety/Connection), Sympathetic (Fight/Flight), or Dorsal Vagal (Shutdown).
We include this for the skill of Vibrational Anchoring.
Dana provides micro-tools ("glimmers") to steer the nervous system back to safety.
This book teaches you how to become an "Anchor"—a person who can hold a regulated frequency so strong that it calms the people around them, rather than being swept away by the collective chaos.
