The Glimmer Hunter: Discovering Micro-Moments of Safety, Play, and Laughter
Mon Feb 02 2026
In the fourth episode of our series, “The Art of Arrival,” Coach Kaila shifts our focus from clearing the obstacles to actively populating our lives with light. We dive into the world of “Glimmers”—those micro-moments of safety and connection that signal to our nervous system that the “war” is over and we are safe to arrive.
We explore the profound biology of laughter, looking at how it acts as a physical “circuit breaker” for stress by vibrating the Vagus nerve and forcing a deep, restorative exhale. Coach Kaila compares the uninhibited, 300-laughs-a-day nature of a child to the restricted “15-20 laughs” of the adult “Producer” identity, inviting us to reclaim the child’s tool of sensory play. You will learn how to “tune your internal radio” to the frequency of delight through sensory layering, titration, and the creation of a Somatic Glimmer Library. This episode is an invitation to move from being a visitor in happiness to becoming a permanent resident of your own play and peace.
Weekly Homework & Action Steps:
The Glimmer Log: Find three micro-glimmers every day this week. They must be small, sensory, and take less than 10 seconds to notice. When you find one, take 30 seconds to “soak” in the sensation to catalog it in your nervous system.
Journaling Prompt: What is the most “child-like” or “pointless” thing I did this week, and how did my body physically feel during and after that moment of play?
Affirmation: “I am a Glimmer Hunter. I am safe to play, I am worthy of laughter, and I am arriving in the light every single day.”
