@patchirico1: The nervous system gravitates toward familiar chaos, even if it’s unhealthy. ⁣ ⁣ Change, transformation and healing involves gently introducing the nervous system to unfamiliar experiences of safety and calm, helping it learn that it’s okay to rest and regulate. It’s a gradual process of rewiring our system and creating new, healthier patterns.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are three ways you can support your nervous system to shift from familiar chaos to unfamiliar safety…⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝟏. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬⁣⁣ Start with short periods of intentional rest or stillness, like a few minutes of slow mindful breathing or mindful observation of your surroundings and sense experience. Slowly extend these moments over time, allowing your nervous system to adapt without becoming overwhelmed. By introducing rest and stillness in small doses, you signal safety without triggering discomfort.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝟐. 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬⁣⁣ Practice gentle, soothing breathwork exercises that focus on longer exhales, such as 4-7-8 breathing or a bottom triangle breath. These techniques can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling to your body that it’s safe to relax.⁣⁣ For some, healing may also involve learning to mobilise energy in their body, rather than solely slowing down the breath. Techniques that prioritise upregulating the system can help with this but should be done slowly. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝟑. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨-𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬⁣⁣ Spend time with people and in environments that offer a sense of safety and calm. Over time, these safe and supportive people and places help you build a new template for your nervous system through the process of co-regulation. #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #energywork #somatichealing #somatictherapy #breathworkfacilitator #breathworkhealing #mindfulness #traumahealing #traumainformed #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing #shadowwork #innerchildhealing #selflove #selfcareroutine #selfcompassion #healingjourney #healingtiktok
