š„ The Nervous System Revolution Will Not Be In Your Social Feeds
The First But Hardest Steps To An Easier, Free'er Life
Spoiler: Deep, engaged Yin Yoga is all you need to create an easier, freeāer life. If thatās enough for you to hear then just put your device down and go practice. If you need more, letās go for a strollā¦
Few of us realize how fast we are going, how much we are pushing or where exactly our threshold isā¦
You know who does realize all of that and more? Your Nervous System.
The state of your Nervous System is almost single-handedly what determines how difficult or easy your life feels.
And letās be real and honest; you exist as feelings, not necessarily emotions, but sensations or raw perception.
You want to be easy-breezy every day?
You want to feel free even as the forest around you burns?
You want to actually help that forest survive and not burn to the ground?
If you answered āyesā to any of those then Iād recommend nurturing spaciousness, centeredness and equanimity within yourself.
For many of us just spending a little time each day with our bodyās feedback, with the Nervous System itself will do the trickā¦
For others it might be disconnecting from whatever jacks you up and then youāll naturally drop into the body moreā¦
And for others a variety of options may be helpfulā¦but I can say from years of practicing Yin Yoga with my own body and training students to explore it in their own bodies, Yin Yoga is the practice that seems most readily designed for this kind of Nervous System regulation task.
When the Nervous System has been trained on Yin Yoga to be, by default, in a state of ease then the chaos around you feels more manageableā¦
The overwhelm of the day-to-day feels more sereneā¦
The inner discontent feels like a harmless companionā¦
TL;DR
All Iām saying is just try Yin Yoga or prioritize getting off your devices and into your body in a way that slows you down. It changes everything you understand about how you can feel in a body and might be exactly what youāve been yearning to find.
