Hello and welcome to this quick nervous system reset video. Working with self-applied touch to self-regulate your nervous system. So to begin, I invite you to bring your hands in front of you, Taking a few deep, Slow breaths and rubbing your hands gently together. Generating some life force energy. And then we're going to begin by gently bringing the hands over top of your face, Feeling the warmth of your palms over top of your cheeks and just stroking down the sides of your face gently. Bringing your hands over top of your neck and your throat. All the way down to your chest and your ribs then bringing your hands down over top of your upper leg. The only thing to be tracking in this moment is the sensation. Of your healing hands. Lovingly. And nurturingly. Touching over top of your upper legs. And then bringing your hands over top of your lower leg. Down to your calves. Breathing deeply. And then bringing your hands over top of your feet. Keeping your eyes closed so that you can really focus on yourself. Bringing the awareness out of the mind and fully into the body. And then bringing your hands up the back of your legs. Just noticing how good it feels. To be with yourself. In this moment. To be gifting yourself this self-soothing touch. And your undivided presence with yourself. Bringing the awareness and hands up. To your bottom and your hips. Up to your lower back. And giving the kidney adrenal area a little bit of extra love, Breathing into the kidney adrenal area. In your lower back and just doing some gentle circular motions there. And then bringing your hands up. And your back. Bringing your hands over top of your shoulders. Giving your shoulders some love. Really savoring the sweetness of your presence. And activating your mammalian caregiving system. With a self-soothing touch. And bringing your hands down over top of your upper arms. Bringing your hands down over top. Of your lower arms. Perhaps giving some caresses with your fingertips. Over top of your lower arms. And then bringing your hands over top of one another. Savoring the sensation. Of your fingertips. Touching opposite hands. And then gently bringing your hands back down into your lap. Beginning to open your eyes. Noticing if you feel any shifts. In your body. In your nervous system. In your breathing. Since we first began this practice together.
