An anxious brain isn’t overreacting, it’s stuck in survival mode.

When the amygdala (your brain’s alarm system) fires too often, it sends constant danger signals, while the anterior cingulate cortex can accidentally turn the volume up even more. At the same time, the prefrontal cortex, the part needed for logic, calm thinking, and good decisions, starts to go offline.

That’s why anxious children (and adults) can’t just think their way out of it. Their brain has shifted from reasoning to protecting.

The good news is with the right sensory, movement, and regulation, we can help the brain feel safe again, and when safety returns, thinking, learning, and connection come back online too.

This a statue to describe the emotion or feeling at the kid class. One of them shared with me his statue and said it is representing his "so relaxing" state that he felt from the inside 😊

Meet Elaine and her practice with 2 chairs 😄

Focusing on the sensation of then tendons on back legs (Achilles), back knees and tendons around hip joints.

👉 Step 1: sit comfortably and gently place your legs on the 2nd chairs (one leg at the time). Place a cushion between your feet or a 23cm ball between your thighs.

You can also explore with one leg up only while other leg places firmly on the floor.

👉 Step 2: Engage your feet as if you are in standing (toes toward ceiling).

Gently press you heels down, thinking you are pulling your heels a little bit toward your bum and feel the back of you legs starting to engage.

As you breath out, slowly walk your hands down along the sides of the 2nd chair (one hand at the time) without loosing the engagement of the back of your legs.

Breathing easy and simply observing the quality of your ease-ness in movement.

👉 Step 3: Gently bend elbows a little and feel what is happening in the back of your hips joint, back of your knees and Achilles tendons.

Adjust what you need and slowly and gently come out of the pose.

Rest your attention a little bit in sitting. Standing up and walking around - notice how clear you can feel the back of your legs as well as the entire of your whole body.

Ps: I have 2 spaces left for Senior class on Thursdays 2:00pm - 3:00pm.
