When I lived in the mountains above Boulder, Colorado, a cute little finch flew in an open door and got stuck in the house. He flew around frantically as we tried to direct him back out the door, finally flying into a skylight and falling to the ground. He sure looked dead. With a background in yoga therapy and a deep understanding of trauma, I knew that his “death” might just be his nervous system resetting. He had just experienced a traumatic event and needed time to rest.
