Nervous System

Use the body as a gateway
to the nervous system.
Somatic practices cultivate awareness of physical sensations through movement, meditation, and breathwork. By learning to notice your body’s signals, you can recognize tension, stress, and overwhelm and respond with greater awareness.
The book focuses primarily on bottom-up regulation—using physical sensations and movement to influence mental and emotional states, especially when stress or strong emotions make conscious thought more difficult.
