COURSE

Calm Body, Calm Mind

With Helen Hansen

Interwoven through and within the organs, muscles and systems of the human body is the nervous system. The nervous system is the headquarters for the primary yin and yang frequency that travels through all the organs, tissues, and more. In this course, we work with specific techniques to calm and restore the nervous system both as an individual system as well as within each of the five elements and their related organs and muscles. Lessons 2 to 7 contain easy-to-follow-along exercises that will help your holistic body to ground, balance, and relax. You will be guided through techniques to: release jaw tension + settle anxiety + restore a mind-body connection + open up a tight chest + restore an under-active liver + move anger out of the cellular system + increase suppleness of joints + more.

Using the nervous system and the 5 elements to weave calm into the body and mind.
