I want to talk about overwhelm - and the two states of your nervous system.

Bear with me on this.

The two states we have are called ‘Sympathetic’ and ‘Parasympathetic’.

Both regulate functions that happen in your body outside of your conscious control ie automatically.

They work well alongside each other to create balance, or homeostasis.

Having said this, they perform VERY different functions.

The sympathetic nervous system typically runs actions requiring a quick response. Think fight / flight. We all know the story of running from a tiger. 

Well in today’s times our fight / flight tiger is STRESS.

We constantly overwhelm our bodies with this. Daily. Constantly. Daily. Constantly.

The parasympathetic nervous system = rest, digest and heal.

Sounds nice doesn’t it.💫

While there are crossovers, generally speaking if one of these states is in action the other is suppressed e.g. you can't increase your heart rate to deal with stress (sympathetic) and decrease it (parasympathetic) to rest at the same time. 

Your body has to choose the highest priority.

And it will choose your safety first…..every time.

So if your body constantly perceives you as unsafe (stress), how much time do you think it gets to spend healing? Not enough. 

So of course you’re going to feel overwhelmed. 

If your body cannot move out of a stress state and into a state of dealing with and clearing all the things causing it, you quite tangibly become….overwhelmed.

And this is one of the main reasons people come to me.

Both ‘Frequency Healing’ and Spinal Flow® sessions gently move you and your body out of fight-flight and ease you back into rest, digest and heal.

And you breathe a sigh of relief.🕊

Be your body’s friend. Come heal.
