COURSE
Calm Yourself in Seconds
With Alice Langholt
Sometimes it feels like we're all about five seconds away from being triggered by something. Everywhere you turn, people are agitated, stress is high, and the effects of that make everyone jumpy. It feels like there's a constant level of stress just under the surface, waiting to bubble up at any opportunity. We need fast-acting tools at the ready to reduce our stress levels and help our cognitive functioning stay online. In this course, you'll learn a rapidly-working brain-based tool, and experience a guided demonstration of how to use it. In lesson 1, you'll learn what it is, how it works, and give it a try. In lesson 2, you'll learn two alternative ways to do this, and get a chance to try each one, while noticing the difference it makes each time.

These simple techniques worked very well for me. I feel significantly calmer. Thanks for this straightforward method and simple,clear explanation. These quick lessons had only the info I needed and nothing more. The parsimony itself is calming.

It’s likely that most people will benefit from at least one of these three bilateral techniques. There are many techniques that rhythmically stimulate their left and right hemispheres. The most basic one is walking while swinging your arms in the opposite direction of your legs. Personally, I love qigong exercises as they fluidly move from left to right.
