I think we have somehow turned nervous system regulation into another thing we need to get right and another thing we need to add to our ‘to do list’
Another version of us that we think we need to perfect. But this isn’t what regulation is.
A regulated nervous system isn’t one that never gets activated. It’s one that has the capacity to move through different states, feelings, emotions and find its way back.
You can feel all of the feelings, angry, sad, happy, overwhelmed, anxious, excited. You can cry, laugh, feel pain, pleasure…you are allowed to feel it all. Feeling deeply isn’t something we need to regulate away.
The work was never about staying calm, for me the work is learning how to stay with yourself while life is moving through you.
To notice what is here, to listen to the way your body is communicating with you, to ask it what it wants you to know and respond from there.
And to know that when you do loose connection with yourself, because of course you will sometimes as that is being human is…but when you do you have practices that can gently guide you back to you.
That is what embodiment has come to mean to me. Being deeply present, getting to know myself on a deeper level, to feel into what is coming up and being with it, moving with it in whatever way it is asking me to move it.
This is so much of the work I share in Return to Self - learning to understand your nervous system, connect with your body and create the capacity to know yourself on a whole new level ✨
