Practicing Gratitude For My Nervous System

It's very beneficial that we have a nervous system to alert us to what's going on. Our nervous system communicates primarily through sensations and energy and sometimes through catastrophic thoughts. Since we tend to try to avoid what makes us uncomfortable or scared, it might be a stretch to entertain being grateful for our nervous system.

Life generally is fairly hard and not what we expect, not what we would hope for, and we have to go through these times of real difficulty. We have this ongoing up and down with our nervous system. It's good to know enough to be able to recognize what's happening in ourselves, and to use our regulating practices on the spot, as well as these guided practices.

We can do something for our nervous system every day, and we could appreciate ourselves for that.

Thank you for this meditation - it’s made a difference in my outlook

Thank you Lynne! A great way for me to get going today. Feel more energised and grateful I get to do all the chores I set for this day, as well as for my health. I shall find wonder in my day! May you too.

As a person who’s had 4 spine surgeries.. there are days when my nervous system is just too much to bear, so having an understanding of the many intricacies associated with this system is paramount. Having an open mind and awareness to the tools necessary for it’s healing and calming is very important. Thank you for sharing this insight!

How validating and loving towards ourselves and our bodies. ❤️

I appreciated the reminder of how important it is to note that the fact that I have enough spaciousness and resources to be able to meditate daily is a blessing. And that I can recognize, at least some of the time when I’m in disregulation Thank you for offering this.
