Nervous System Reset Workshop

I am starting small group workshops at my office focused on nervous system regulation using breathwork, movement therapy, and guided meditation.

Most people are living in fight-or-flight and don’t even realize it.
Stress, trauma, injuries, and emotions get stored in the body, and over time that can show up as anxiety, fatigue, pain, hormone issues, inflammation, digestive issues, and burnout.

This workshop is designed to help:
• Calm the nervous system
• Release stress stored in the body
• Improve mind–body connection
• Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
• Improve breathing and circulation
• Help the body move out of survival mode

Small group, calm environment.

Day 6 of the Breathing Series

Today’s focus: Rib Cage Expansion

Breathing isn’t just about the lungs — your rib cage is designed to move with every breath.

When rib movement is limited, breathing becomes shallow and other muscles (like the neck and shoulders) start compensating.

Over time, this can contribute to tension and tightness.

Try this:

1️⃣ Place your hands on the sides of your ribs
2️⃣ Inhale through your nose
3️⃣ Expand your ribs outward into your hands
4️⃣ Exhale slowly and feel the ribs soften

Practice for 3–5 minutes.

This helps improve breathing mechanics, reduce tension, and support overall circulation.

Tomorrow is Day 7.

Day 5 of the Breathing Series

If your brain won’t shut off at night, your breathing pattern might be part of the problem.

Most people breathe too quickly when they’re stressed, which keeps the body in a more activated state.

The 4-7-8 breathing technique helps slow the heart rate and shift the body into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state.

Try this:

Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
Hold for 7 seconds
Exhale slowly for 8 seconds

Repeat for 4 rounds.

This is one of the most effective techniques to use:

• before bed
• when your mind is racing
• after a stressful day
• when you feel anxious

You may notice your body start to relax within just a few breaths.

Save this to use tonight.

Follow along for Day 6.

Your breath directly influences vagal tone and Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

Higher HRV is associated with:
• Better stress resilience
• Improved emotional regulation
• Lower inflammatory burden
• Improved recovery

Breathing at ~5–6 breaths per minute improves HRV.

Clinical pattern:
Inhale 4–5 seconds
Exhale 6–8 seconds

If slowing your breath feels uncomfortable, this may reflect a trauma-related freeze pattern. Regulation should be titrated, not forced.

Healing begins with physiology.

Today’s technique: The Physiological Sigh

Researchers have found this breathing pattern can help calm the nervous system quickly.

You’ve probably done it before without realizing it — it’s the breathing pattern that happens when we sigh.

Try this:

1️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose
2️⃣ Take a second short inhale to fully expand the lungs
3️⃣ Exhale slowly through your mouth

Repeat 3–5 times.

This technique helps reopen tiny air sacs in the lungs and can quickly reduce feelings of stress or overwhelm.

It’s a great tool to use:

• during stressful moments
• when feeling overwhelmed
• after a long day
• anytime your breathing feels tight or shallow

Tomorrow I’ll share Day 5 of the breathing series.

Longer exhales stimulate the vagus nerve and improve HRV.

Breath isn’t relaxation fluff.
It’s measurable autonomic physiology.

Day 3 of the Breathing Series

Today’s technique: Box Breathing

This breathing pattern is commonly used by athletes, military personnel, and first responders to regulate stress and improve focus.

The rhythm helps stabilize the nervous system and bring the body back toward a calmer state.

Try this:

Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Exhale for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds

Repeat for 3–5 minutes.

The steady rhythm helps slow the heart rate, calm the nervous system, and improve mental clarity.

This is a great technique to use:

• before stressful situations
• before sleep
• during moments of anxiety
• when you need to regain focus

Tomorrow I’ll share Day 4 of the breathing series.

Most adults actually breathe incorrectly without realizing it.

Instead of using the diaphragm, many people breathe primarily into the upper chest.

When this happens, the muscles in the neck and shoulders start helping with breathing — which can contribute to tension and tightness in those areas.

Your diaphragm is designed to do most of the work of breathing.

When it moves properly, it helps:

• improve oxygen exchange
• stimulate lymphatic movement
• support the nervous system
• reduce strain on the neck and shoulders
• gently massage the organs in the abdomen

Try this simple exercise:

1️⃣ Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly
2️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose
3️⃣ Let your belly expand while keeping your chest relatively still
4️⃣ Exhale slowly and allow the belly to soften

Practice for 3–5 minutes.

Many people notice that when they begin breathing this way, tension in the neck and shoulders starts to decrease.

Tomorrow I’ll share Day 3 of the breathing series.
