What is Anchor Your Heart?

Anchor Your Heart is not a gimmick that promises to take your troubles away. Rather, it is a simple 3-step grounding tool that helps you get real with yourself: the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful.  Anchoring your heart is more than a stress-management tool; it helps create space for grace by becoming more fully awake to yourself. You will then bring more you into you!

Anchor Your Heart Helps You:

  • Re-train your brain and nerve pathways in your nervous system to allow emotional pain and peace to sit side by side together without fear.
  • Stop using numbing agents to try to not feel what you are experiencing.
  • Exert self-compassion when you feel anxious, stressed or helpless
  • When you need strength, courage, or patience

Join us February 2, 2024 for National Anchor Your Heart Day at 3:00 PM EST.  It will be preceded at 2:00 PM EST with a free 1-hour webinar on Self-Compassioning!

Course Instructor

Deborah Grassman

Founder

Few people have been with 10,000 dying veterans; Deborah Grassman is one VA hospice Nurse Practitioner who has. Dying veterans taught her lessons about how to attain personal peace. Ironically, those lessons came from people who had been trained for war! As a result, a phenomenon known as “Soul Injury” has now emerged as a relevant healthcare issue for the public. She contends that 10,000 dying veterans have lessons that the rest of us need to learn! Deborah is the author of two books, Peace at Last and The Hero Within. She is a contributing author for four textbooks, has 25 published articles, and there are 5 documentary films featuring her work.
