Vagus Nerve Breathing & The Calm Place Exercise to Relax your Nervous System
Use this exercise to calm your nervous system by activating the Amygdala (the Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn center of the brain) and help you feel more grounded in God.
You can do this daily and you can also use it when you feel ‘activated; by a trigger or something outside of you that feels threatening or unsafe.
Doing this makes a huge difference in the way your nervous system functions and these exercises are based on Polyvagal Theory and EMDR, which are two modalities that allow us to heal from trauma and pain. Enjoy this exercise, and practice it often to relax and calm your entire system 🙂
Guided Reflection: Receiving & Experiencing God’s Love
This Bonus video will help you to invite God in at a more intimate level. Many of us keep God at an arm’s length and don’t fully let Him in for fear of what He might think of feel about us when He gets really close.
If you feel any resistance doing this exercise, I encourage you to keep pressing in! Move through this every day or every week until you feel a shift. I promise you – when you truly let God in it can change everything (and it’s all at the pace that you are comfortable with, so please don’t put extra pressure on yourself – just let it happen as it will.)
Moving From Fear to Peace
If you’re struggling with a lot of FEAR you can listen to this activation, which will guide you into moving through the fear into a place of peace!
Go through the process and notice what comes up for you emotionally, somatically (physically) and in your mind as far as your thoughts/beliefs.
Enjoy allowing yourself to move into peace and know that you can do this exercise as often as you’d like! 🙂
