A huge aspect of somatics and somatic yoga is neuroreception. That's your body's safety detector. However, Your body might get stuck in hyperarousal. That is activation. That's your body feeling that there's imminent danger when there actually might not be. One tool to get out of that is this. Start bouncing on your heels if you can, And then incorporate shaking at the same time. Shaking your arms, Shaking your legs, Shaking your head, And then when you're done, Come into stillness, Close your eyes, And feel how that was. Your heartbeat might be beating rapidly, But calmness will likely arrive. I encourage you to give this a try.
