Neuroception is a kind of ‘listening’ the nervous system engages in beneath the level of conscious awareness. So simple and elegant: we track one physical sensation at a time allowing the body to identify an area needing attention. In this titrated and safe way way, we listen to the body, discharge what is stuck and restore to health and movement.  

The state of our nervous system determines how safe and connected we feel in day-to-day life. Because the system is embedded in our biology, deficits can make us more reactive: prone to anger, anxiety, collapse, depression or trauma. Supporting neuro-physiology allows greater resilience to stress and trauma.  

The good new is: we can re-wire our nervous system.  Learning to track nervous system is the first step to regulation. Those chronically stuck in the sympathetic  (flight/fight/ fear), risk an energy drain that is at the root of metabolic syndrome. Others of us stuck in the dorsal vagal nervous system (collapse/ freeze/ paralysis) fail to realize our potential. Both represent living in a survival state.

Polyvagal insights can be leveraged to experience more wellbeing, safety, and connection in day-to-day life.   The vagus nerve is the highway of innervation to every major organ in your body.Vagus nerve exercises can increase vagal nerve tone; lower
