Breath is the only autonomic function you can voluntarily control.

Slow, controlled breathing alters vagal tone, CO₂ tolerance, heart rate variability, and cortical activity.

Bottom-up signals from the lungs and diaphragm directly influence the brainstem and limbic system.

So breath is a way into the mind
(via physiology, not insight)
and a way out of bodily tension
(via nervous system regulation, not force).

You’re not mastering the body.
You’re changing the inputs.

That’s regulation, not mysticism.

🧠✨ FREE NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATORS (aka: your body already knows what to do)
HUM 🎶
Humming vibrates the vagus nerve, telling your body “we’re safe.” Instant calm, zero equipment, slightly witchy.
REST 🛌
Rest isn’t laziness — it’s when your nervous system repairs, integrates, and stops screaming into the void.
SIGH 😮‍💨
A long exhale literally switches off fight-or-flight. Your body hears it as: “ah, crisis averted.”
SING 🎤
Breath + vibration + joy = parasympathetic activation. Also illegal to sing and dissociate at the same time.
SWIM 🏊‍♀️
Rhythmic movement + water pressure = full-body regulation hug. Womb vibes, honestly.
WALK 🚶‍♀️
Bilateral movement helps your brain process stress. This is why walks solve problems therapy sometimes can’t.
YAWN 😴
Yawning resets the nervous system and increases oxygen to the brain. Let it happen. Don’t be polite.
DANCE 💃🏽
Shakes out stored stress + releases endorphins. Trauma hates rhythm — so we dance.
LAUGH 😂
Laughter lowers cortisol and boosts connection hormones. It’s medicine disguised as fun.
NATURE 🌿
Your nervous system evolved outside, not under LED lights and deadlines. Trees = regulation elders.
GROUND 👣
Physical sensation (feet on earth, hands on thighs) pulls you out of spirals and back into your body now.
JOURNAL ✍🏽
Gets the chaos out of your head and onto paper. Your nervous system loves containment.
STRETCH 🧘🏽‍♀️
Releases muscle tension that’s been holding stress hostage. Slow stretching = safety signal.
MEDITATE 🧠
Trains your system to observe instead of panic. Even 2 minutes counts. Perfection not required.
SUNLIGHT ☀️
Regulates circadian rhythm → hormones → mood → sleep → everything. Free antidepressant from the sky.
GRATITUDE 💖
Shifts your brain from threat-scanning to safety-noticing. Doesn’t deny pain — just widens the lens.
PET ANIMAL 🐕🐈
Touch + oxytocin = nervous system melts. Science confirms: animals are emotional support legends.
SAFE PEOPLE 🤍
Co-regulation is real. Calm nervous systems help calm other nervous systems. We’re wired for each other.
COLD SHOWER ❄️
Brief stress that teaches your body resilience. Afterwards: calm, clarity, I survived energy.
BREATH-WORK 🌬️
Breath is the remote control of the nervous system. Slow exhale = safety signal. Every time.
💬 Reminder:
You don’t need to “heal harder.”
You need to let your body do what it already knows how to do.
Save this. Share it. Come back to it on spicy nervous system days

Instructions before visiting Earth

In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from source
and manifest into material form, don’t panic.
Your condition is only temporary.

You have been selected for the opportunity
of human incarnation.

This 3D simulation is designed
to break up the monotony of eternity
by giving you a fully immersive experience
as a distinct ego identity.

Your body will serve
as your physical avatar
as you navigate a dense and dramatic reality.
There will be many distractions
causing you to forget your true nature and origin.
You will experience a range of emotions
from joy to loneliness to despair.

But remember – no matter
what trials and traumas you encounter,
your soul remains perfectly safe.

At times you may feel lost or afraid.
This is totally normal.
If you ever need guidance,
simply slow down your busy mind
and bring your awareness
to the quiet place
inside yourself.

On this planet, nothing is permanent.
People and things will come and go.
You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments
only to lose everything you hold dear.

So cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself,
and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace,
for nothing is owned, only borrowed.

As you walk among
the people on the planet,
try to be a good guest.
Tread lightly. Remember
that you are only visiting.
Don’t make a mess.
Listen more than you speak.
Give more than you take.

Don’t keep your soft heart
locked inside a glass cage,
protected from wear and tear.

You’ll never make it out alive
and time passes quickly.
So come back with some battle scars
and good stories to tell.

As I’m knee-deep in assignments 📚 and getting ready to see counselling clients today 🧠💬, I’m organising an online session with a classmate and she asks how my fibromyalgia is doing — and whether I’m looking after myself.
And it hits me… yes, I actually am! 🙌✨
I’ve just smashed out a 5 km walk 🚶‍♀️🌿, had a quick dip in the sea 🌊❄️, followed by a cold shower 🚿💨 and now I’m sipping on a smoothie made with tahini, moringa, spirulina, cacao, and coconut water 🥥🍃🍫. I’ve had a lovely stretch 🧘‍♀️ and I’m listening to the Blindboy Podcast 🎧.
Then this image popped up in my Facebook memories from 2009 📸 — accompanied by a little ramble about my breakfast and yoga practice back then, and how much I loved being alone. 💫
Now, as I near the end of my studies for the year 🎓, with a 10-day meditation retreat booked 🪷, I can’t think of anything truer than these words:
✨ Make friends with yourself.
✨ Find out what you love.
✨ Challenge yourself and enjoy yourself.
💛 Here’s to growing, grounding, and grooving with ourselves through it all 🍒🌿🌊
