Glimmerati. If you’ve never come across glimmers before, they are the opposite of triggers.
It’s a term coined by Deb Dana.
For me it’s the light show of sun through leaves. The awe of the moon rise. A doggy snuggle. The smile you can hear in a voice note from a friend.
Those seemingly everyday positive micro-moments that spark feelings of awe, expansion, strength, beauty, safety, freedom, joy, or connection.
Here’s a simple practice to try:
1. Once a day, pause and notice a glimmer.
2. Linger with it for a few extra seconds. Breathe with it. Take it in as if you’re tasting it. Let your brain mark it as meaningful.
Over time, these small moments accumulate.
They slowly shift the nervous system’s baseline from getting stuck in defensive states (like fight/flight or shutdown) toward a state of more agility, flow and ease.
If you want to take the practice a step further, share your glimmers with a friend and amplify the positive moment.
