Tending And Restoring The Nervous System

Our Autonomic Nervous system is an elegant and sensitive aspect of our body's wisdom that is part of how we stay safe in a dangerous world, by recognizing and avoiding threats when we sense them. But for many of us, our ANS has been wounded—by adverse childhood events, oppression, trauma, and modern stress—in a way that makes it difficult to relax and feel at ease. Learning to find a felt sense of safety, and practice deactivating from habitual and unconscious reactivities, we can find more ease and joy in our bodies and lives.
