Soothing Breathwork Practice To Regulate Your Nervous System Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

This deeply soothing breathwork practice to regulate your nervous system is truly one of my favorite ways to decrease stress and anxiety and to create a state of peaceful relaxation in my body!

It will help you regulate, drop in, and come home to yourself in a way that is so simple yet profoundly effective.

Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools we have for nervous system regulation.

By consciously working with our breath in certain ways, we can send a signal to our brain and body that we are safe. This simple message allows our nervous system to move out of its stressed or reactive state and back into a state of functional, flexible balance.

In addition to working with the breath, this practice invites you to drop in and really feel your body. Bringing our awareness to the body in this way can quiet your mind and tone your vagus nerve, which is a key player in regulating the nervous system.

Give it a try now!

When our nervous systems are constantly overtaxed by the demands of modern life, our bodies often get stuck in a state of chronic stress and anxiety. This makes true relaxation hard to acheive! (When our nervous systems are so stressed, a bubble bath isn’t going to cut it.)

To truly relax, we need to soothe our nervous systems by creating a safe, loving internal environment that allows our bodies to shift from survival mode to a state of rest and rejuvenation.

And one of my very favorite ways to do that is with Havening Techniques®.
