Physiological Sigh. That’s what Rachel Fearnley calls it. I’m not really sure how I feel about it to be honest. I mean, I like breathwork but this didn’t feel like comfortable to me. It might be different for you. In our lesson, Rachel tells us that by doing this breathing pattern it helps to promoteContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 7”

Nervous System Reset: Day 6
Today was all about being comfy and safe. Tramaine Cato brings us back to the sensation of touch, though not as an active participant but rather as a passive observer. By connecting the body and its sensations, we can teach the nervous system to regulate itself. She lets us decide which position we’d like toContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 6”
Nervous System Reset: Day 5
Continuing with our exploration with the senses, Bhanu Joy Harrison joins us in the practice of Sensory Orientation. Day 4 was all about touch. Day 5 is about sight and sound. Admittedly, this is something I prefer over touch but not something that I actively practice as a way of grounding myself. I like sittingContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 5”
Nervous System Reset: Day 4
I know. It’s late. My apologies. I was tending to some family stuff . . . Scarlett Grace, our teacher today, led us through a session where she introduced “self-soothing touch”. Touch can be an important and very personal human experience. Scarlett tells us that touch is one of the ways we teach the bodyContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 4”
Nervous System Reset: Day 3

It’s what prepares us to respond to whatever we’re dealing with at the moment – whether real or perceived. I imagine that, way back when, this is what saved theContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 3”
Nervous System Reset: Day 2
Well, I wasn’t really planning on documenting this challenge but today’s lesson was pretty cool too. I’ll keep it short and sweet. I promise. Contact. Pressure. Sensation. That’s pretty much it. Chibs Okereke rejoins us and explains that when the nervous system is stimulated our go-to reaction is brain-based. We ponder. We worry. We tryContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 2”
Nervous System Reset: Day 1
Huh. Well that was really rather interesting. I definitely learned something today. Dr. Juna Bobby (whose voice is quite calming, actually) explains that stress is a fact of life. We can’t avoid it. In fact, she says that our “stress response” is what keeps us alive. That’s a good thing. The problem comes when weContinue reading “Nervous System Reset: Day 1”

Daily Intention Setting: Wrap-up
February 1 We did it! We achieved 31 straight days of setting a daily intention for ourselves. I think that deserves a little pat on the back!!! Some sessions resonated more deeply with me than others, which is to be expected, but there were a few that I would love to listen to again andContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Wrap-up”
