The Safety Code insists that in order to transform stress from within, one needs to develop the capacity to tap into internal-felt sensation and autopoietic sense by focusing on the internal experience and the external relationships S simultaneously. The Autopoietic Embodiment practice, which is the application of The Safety Code, invites us to turn inward and to unfold the root of our protection to transform stress and to realize who we essentially are,
