This series will help you discover how you best regulate your nervous system

  • Each session will begin with a short, optional suggestion.

  • We practice together in silence (audio off, video optional). 

  • Sessions are 15 minutes. Come even if you only have five minutes - we'll be here!

  • Try meditation, stretching, yoga, breathwork, journaling, or simply resting—whatever supports you.

  • Important! Keep pen and paper nearby to jot a few words after each session. Download 'weekly tracking'

  • Also important! Start a list to help you notice how you already regulate your nervous system and what new practices emerge. Download 'Possibilities'.

  • At month’s end, we’ll gather on a call to share and learn from each other.

Possibilities

Benefits of a daily practice: 

  • Nervous System Regulation

    • Shifts the body from “fight-or-flight” (sympathetic) dominance to “rest-and-digest” (parasympathetic) balance.

    • Builds resilience against stress by training the nervous system to recover more quickly.

    • Reduces overall baseline tension and hypervigilance.

  • Mental & Emotional Benefits

    • Increases focus, clarity, and presence.

    • Lowers anxiety, rumination, and overwhelm.

    • Enhances mood, emotional stability, and capacity for joy.

    • Strengthens self-awareness and emotional regulation.

  • Physical Health Benefits

    • Lowers blood pressure and heart rate.

    • Improves sleep quality and energy regulation.

    • Enhances immune function by reducing stress hormones.

    • Supports mobility, circulation, and body awareness (especially with stretching).

  • Cognitive Benefits

    • Boosts memory, learning, and neuroplasticity.

    • Cultivates mental spaciousness for new ideas to arise.

    • Improves problem-solving and adaptability.

       

Look what you're doing for yourself - and our world!

  • Creativity & Intuition Benefits

    • Brainwave Shifts: Practices like meditation and chanting promote alpha and theta brainwave states, which are linked to creativity, daydreaming, and intuitive insight.

    • Integration of Brain Hemispheres: Calms overactive analytical thinking (left brain) while engaging imaginative, pattern-based processing (right brain), allowing more holistic perception.

    • Heightened Intuition: Quieting mental chatter helps subtle signals from the body and subconscious mind rise into awareness.

    • Flow States: Repeated practice creates conditions for deep immersion where creativity, focus, and intuition merge.

    • Poetic/Spiritual Dimension: Opens a channel to inspiration that feels like it comes “through” rather than “from” us, connecting imagination with a sense of the larger whole.

  • Spiritual / Existential Benefits

    • Creates a sense of inner peace, meaning, and connection.

    • Fosters alignment with something larger than oneself.

    • Builds discipline and trust in the process of daily renewal.

  • Practical Life Benefits

    • Increases patience and compassion in relationships.

    • Enhances productivity through calm focus.

    • Provides an anchor and rhythm to daily life.

    • Serves as a self-regulating tool in moments of overwhelm.

 

 

Day One: Welcome guidelines and our first practice

A few minutes on our first morning, highlighting the value of keeping a journal and pen nearby to capture any insights that arise during or after your practice. We are committing to the ATTEMPT to spend 15 minutes each day exploring the practice on our own. Next week, we’ll come back together for you to track your own observations of how this went. Suggestion to put a note up on your fridge/bathroom mirror that says '5 Minute Promise' so you remember that whether it be 5 or 15 minutes, you have a date with yourself every day!

 
 

Day Two:

Day Two! Today I woke up Angry and did a practice before we started today to gain some insight and then determine my course of action - listen in, do what works for you!

Day Three:

Whether it be five minutes, five breaths, or longer, this week I rediscovered the beauty of just sitting, closing my eyes, and seeing what's there. What do I notice? How am I feeling? Where can I feel that in my body? What does/did today look like? How is the best way to feel the flow of it? And then...no questions, just Neural Narnia. One person today said she was doing that all week and liked it so much that she sets her alarm during the day to remember to stop and do.just.that. 

 
 

Day Four:

A word on how our time taking care of ourselves makes a ripple effect across the globe - and how this is a form of primary activism. I lead with a suggestion of a Breathwork session - you can join along, or turn off the sound and do your own thing!

Day Five: 

Today I offered a drone via my harmonium to encourage humming, om-ing, singing, and keeping it body focussed rather than 'goal' oriented to 'what it sounds like'. You can download a drone app on your phone and use that too! Or just hummmmm. 

 
 

Day 6:

Our last day of this series! Today I outlined what I do in a 15 short stretch session to open everything up - whether you are in bed, waking up, winding down, have a bad back, or just want to regulate your system.Â
