Nourishing Your Nervous System

Description

From four diverse teachers, a wealth of accessible practices and tools for healing from stress and cultivating holistic well-beingWhen we’re under stress, most of us have a tendency to try to “think” our way out of our problems. But the answers we seek aren’t found in our minds—our path to healing lies in the body. So how can we effectively care for ourselves during tumultuous times? How can we move out of “fight, flight, or freeze” and into a place of safety and equanimity?
In Nourishing Your Nervous System, four diverse teachers share a wealth of accessible tools and embodiment practices to help you regulate and tend to your nervous system for greater health, connection, and joy. Throughout this audio program, you’ll explore a multi-faceted approach to well-being, including:
• The foundations of polyvagal theory and somatic meditations for healing trauma with Sharon Stanley, PhD
• Spiritual and energetic dimensions of your nervous system and a guided chi gong practice with Mukti
• Powerful movement, breathwork, and meditation practices for connecting to your body’s wisdom with Melissa Brown
• Enteric nervous system regulation and foods for healing the gut-brain connection with Andrea Larsen
An empowering and accessible program, Nourishing the Nervous System will help you cultivate resilience, heal from trauma, increase vitality, and reduce the overall effects of stress so you can thrive in even the most challenging times.
