Do you often feel anxious and overwhelmed? Maybe you worry all the time or find yourself often feeling emotional. You may have been through a difficult time at work, struggling with relationships or be experiencing other challenging life experiences. When life’s a struggle, it’s ok to ask for help and seek support. If stress becomes a long term issue, your nervous system gets stuck in a state of anxiety (fight, flight or freeze) and you remain constantly on edge even though the cause of the stress has passed. The good news is that our nervous system can be helped to move back into the relaxation state with simple exercises to reset the Vagus Nerve, along with practices like mindfulness meditation and grounding.
If this sounds like something that would help you to relax your mind and body, you may be interested in my next 4 week ‘Meditation to Rebalance and Calm’ course on Wednesday mornings in East Leake. Beginning Wed 8th October, it's just £45 for the course. Combining a Vagus Nerve reset with meditation, each week we'll be doing breath-work, Vagus Nerve reset routine and a guided meditation to help you switch off from daily stresses and calm your mind. The Vagus Nerve routine teaches your body how to breathe properly again instead of the shallow breathing associated with stress and trauma.
