Living in your Spinal Sympathetic state and always reactive?
The body and mind are incredibly connected and in this interactive workshop over two and a half hours we will be learning tools to release tension internally and externally. If we are living in fight/flight, or possibly lower down the circuit to our Dorsal Vagal (shutdown, numb) we are unfortunately interrupting our digestive system.
Meaning...things get stuck. Meaning, we are on the train to inflammation, sickness and dis-ease.
For an investment of only $69 Non-Members, $55 Members you can shift it.
It's not only our digestive system that gets blocked, so does the mind. Many of us struggle to learn when we are in the above states as the body is living to survive. So, learning difficulties, concentration, and overthinking is all addressed in these teachings. This also applies to teenagers that may be studying and find it hard to take in information.
Megs shares from lived experience of nearly three decades living in a state of shutdown and reactivity. In Watch YA Language, Meg had to learn and understand her body from the inside out to rewire her brain and retrain her nervous system to change well practiced patterns and behaviors.
Understanding our brain and ANS gives us an understanding of our pre-programmed patterns of reactivity, stress and overwhelm. Incorporating Stephen Porgess' Ph.D Polyvagal Theory, which unravels the hierarchy in which our nervous system operates, and the hand model of the brain from Dr Daniel Siegel (mindsight) we can see the relationship between the brain, body, or thoughts and nervous system.
This, in conjunction with the BE HERE Method Meg speaks about in Watch YA Language, combines together effortlessly to give us tools to move forward with presence so we can choose again.
When we can recognise where we are in our bodies, the quicker we are able to return back to an equanimous (ventral vagal) state, the place of social engagement and presence.
If we are contracted internally (mind and organs) that will extend out to our physiology. For many of us we can tend to spend most of our days being triggered, under (chosen) tension, stress, anxiety and worry. As a result, our bodies will be tight, rigid, stuck, immobile, and find it difficult to move freely.
This workshop is ideal if you have had inflammation or illness that tends to show up consistently, or is presenting in the body and mind. This may open a door to help your body reset itself and find equanimity and balance. A healthy body must start from within.
