23.01.2022 Fawning: The Fourth Trauma Response After Fight, Flight, Freeze https://www.mindbodygreen.com//the-fight-flight-freeze-faw

21.01.2022 Great information from my colleague and friend Bob Wong

20.01.2022 THE VAGUS NERVE A seemingly never-ending branching nerve that connects most of our major organs to our brain . It’s the longest cranial nerve in our body, ...one for the right side and one for the left. And is largely responsible for the #mindbody connection for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, you know our gut feeling. The vagus nerve is the queen of the parasympathetic nervous system. The rest and digest or the #chillout nerve. So the more we do things to activate the #vagus nerve (like deep #breathing), the most we combat the effects of its opposer, the sympathetic nervous system - the fight or flight, rushing around, have to do something, #stress releasing one. A few other functions of the vagus nerve, just to name a few: slows your heart rate and respiration. lowers blood pressure. helps with calmness and relaxation. controls involuntary muscles in the digestive system, therefore, aiding digestion. taste sensation. movement function for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech. gut-brain communication. reduces inflammation.

11.01.2022 If you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, and you can't think greater than how you feel, or feelings have become the means of th...inking by the very definition of emotions you're thinking in the past, and for the most part, you're going to keep creating the same life. Most people get out of bed on the same side, they go to the toilet, they get a cup of coffee, take a shower, get dressed, drive to work the same way, do the same things, see the same people, push the same emotional buttons, and that becomes the routine, and it becomes like a program. This is how people loose their free will to a program, and there's no unseen hand doing it to them... So when it comes time to change, the redundancy of that cycle has become a subconscious program. So a person can say within their 5% of their conscious mind: "I want to be healthy, I want to be happy. I want to be free." But the body is on a whole different program. So then how do you begin to make those changes? You have to get beyond the analytical mind because that's what separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind is the analytical mind. And that's where meditation comes in because you can teach people through practice how to change their brainwaves and slow them down. And when they do that properly, they enter the operating system where they can begin to make some significant changes. So most people wait for crisis, trauma, disease or diagnosis. They wait for loss or some tragedy to make up their mind to change. And my message is, why wait? You can learn change in a state of pain and suffering or you can learn change in a state of joy and inspiration. What meditation are you currently practicing? Share in the comments below! See more

03.01.2022 Many people I work with find EFT tapping very beneficial in many ways

02.01.2022 I work with a great team - here are two of them

01.01.2022 There is a common belief spread on the internet that recommends to just "take a few deep breathes" when you're stressed or feeling triggered. Have you tried it?... Did it work? Did it suddenly make you feel relaxed and peaceful? Probably not. That's normal, there is nothing wrong with you. I've had many mums telling me that it doesn't work for them either! And there is a scientific reason behind that: When we take a a few big breathes, we're activating the sympathetic branch of the nervous system. It is the branch responsible for the "fight or flight" response. In other words, taking big (inhale) breathes ACCELERATES our heart beat and breathing, putting our system into a survival response, getting us MORE activated. This is the opposite of what we want! If we're stressed or triggered, we're _already_ in a survival response. . . What we need is to help our system slow down and come out of this survival response. Only then will we feel calmer. How can we help our system slow down? By stimulating the Para-Sympathetic branch of your nervous system. How do we do that? There are many different ways to do this. But when it comes to breathing, what helps our system slow down is a LONG SLOW EXHALE. A long slow exhale like the "Om" we do at yoga, Or like if you'd blow on a candle to make the flame dance a little, for a few seconds. Or when you're singing too! A ... long... slow... exhale... To summarise, when you're stressed, or triggered: Notice your breathe. Take a normal breathe in. And have a LONG SLOW EXHALE. Let your body naturally take another breathe in... And have another LONG SLOW EXHALE. . . And as your breathe slows down and you feel your body softening, take the time to open your vision field, to look around you, as a way to help your system connect with the "here and now." Looking around in this way is called "orienting" and that too can help your system come out of its survival response.
