Benefits of Gentle Movement:
o Improves nervous system function
o Decreases stress hormones
o Activates attention networks
o Reduces emotional reactivity
o Reduces dysfunctional thoughts
o Enhances positive psychological characteristics
o GM practice helps send accurate messages to brain structures that literally inform the sense of who we are
o When you feel safe and in touch with your body, you start to better understand who you are and what you need in life.
o You can get in better touch with your values and priorities, and from there you can make good decisions which may include choosing healthy rather than destructive behaviors.
o This positive spiral can be integral in lifting people out of depression.
o Gentle movement can help to train the nervous system to find the optimal state of arousal in the window of tolerance.
o Studies show gentle movement practice increases GABA – the brain’s chief inhibitory neurotransmitter and reduces cortisol and norepinephrine.
o Gentle movement increases interoceptive awareness and decreases hypervigilance or overreliance on exteroception.
o Slow breathing helps to balance the nervous system.
