Social media is awash with tips for calming the nervous system, often through vagus nerve ‘hacks.’ While the intention is good, these posts tell only half the story—because real life is not that simple.
We all face moments when life gets difficult and we are unable to keep our cool—when our fight, flight, or freeze response kicks in. A healthy nervous system can adapt to these experiences and return smoothly to baseline—a process known as regulation. This ability to self-regulate is essential for maintaining emotional and physical balance. It grounds you in the present, stopping your body from becoming stuck in survival states which can lead to a range of health issues. It helps you process trauma, both past and present, navigate life’s fluctuations, and sustain overall wellbeing.Our simple but potent neurosensory exercises, help you to reconnect with your body and the environment—growing your capacity to be with difficult sensations and experiences. As your capacity grows, so does your nervous system’s ability to regulate—empowering it to function at its best. |
