Sun peeking through leaves. A shared smile with a stranger. The sound of birdsong.

‘Essential tools to counter the pace of modern life’ Sienna Miller

‘This book helps you feel safe in your body so you can begin to let life in.’ Dr Nicole LePera

A glimmer often feels like a little moment of magic, but it’s actually a physical response that is rooted in your body’s nervous system, with the power to improve your mood, mental health and overall well-being. A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger – instead of putting your system on high alert, it reassures you that all is safe and well.

Glimmers are a beautiful invitation to the present moment, inviting us to be more aware of ourselves, our environment and the connections we share with those around us. They offer cues of safety and ease to the nervous system, which help us build resilience to better navigate life’s ups and downs.

In Glimmers, sisters Nadia and Katia, authors of the international bestseller Self-Care for the Real World, bring together practices inspired by their training and experiences of nervous system healing. Their gentle guidance will help you tune into the glimmers that are all around you, every day.
