[Meditation] My jumpy nervous system settled in 10 minutes

It happened again. We were just under two weeks out from my seasonal retreat and I started feeling a bit anxious. So many things swirling around in my head that the overwhelm wanted to creep in.

I started with a brain dump, and it allowed me to see what needed to happen so I could knock a few things off the list pretty quickly and get some direction.

While processing a few of The Weekly Breath Reset classes that I needed to catch up on, I took 10 minutes to listen to this one: Grounding Body Scan for Overwhelm.

I didn't just listen as though I needed to edit it, I listened as an actual participant.

It changed the entire trajectory of my day.

It settled my jumpy nervous system and gave me focus to check off some solid things on my list.

When I find something that works, I want to share it with others. Since I know that breath work and mindfulness actually help slow down the feeling of the world spinning out of control around you, this is something I know you'll benefit from.

So take a listen… and if you're not on Insight Timer yet, here's what it is:

A totally free app that lets you access thousands of free meditations, breathwork, and sleep practices from teachers around the world, including me… perfect for coming back to your center right from your phone instead of getting swept away scrolling.

Cheers,

P.S. If you know someone else who might benefit from listening to a track that invites them to slow down and find a sense of balance and calm, would you forward this email to them? 🤸‍♀️🙏
