Here is a FREE somatic practice to help regulate your nervous system, that you can try, RIGHT NOW:
- Tune into your immediate environment —-> your body
- Notice your breath
- Scan awareness from head to toe
- Notice the buzz or vibration of energy moving through you
- Perhaps place a hand on your heart
>>> Take a few more steady breaths - Stay open + curious to what you feel
- Notice an area of obvious tension or pain – send a few breaths there and sense yourself soften around it
>>> Ask yourself – what do I need right now? - Listen with gentle patience for a quiet whisper, subtle nudge or deeper knowing
- Tune into the guidance that is right here, within you
- Breathe some more
>>> You might need stillness
>>> You might need to sit in nature
>>> You might need to move around (dance, shake, walk, swim, cry, sing, laugh, yell)
*** all expressions / sensations are welcome – they are energy moving through you that want a pathway out *** - Listen to what your body is guiding you towards
*** Your nervous system is reacting to whatever you consume. How you interpret what you consume will trigger the release of:
- cortisol (stress hormone) – leading to a fight / flight / freeze response
- or, oxytocin (“feel good” hormone) – leading to you feeling grounded, safe, connected and empowered
Everything we feel about what we are witness to – or the experiencer of – ripples out. We truly are deeply connected to one another and a reflection of / mirror to each other (both fear and love).
So if you desire peace, love + connection across the world AND in your life, then it starts right here, right now, within YOU —-> with the relationship you share with your Self (body, heart, mind) – which is the foundation of everything.
