INSIGHT

Nervous System Mastery

  • Nervous system mastery involves interoception (awareness of inner landscape) and self-regulation (controlling inner state).
  • Bottom-up approaches (breathwork) are more effective for changing the nervous system than top-down (thoughts).
ADVICE

Practicing Interoception

  • Practice interoception by regularly checking in with your body and noticing sensations.
  • Treat these sensations as feedback and trust your body's signals, like an internal Aura ring.
INSIGHT

Sensations, Emotions, and Thoughts

  • Sensations may be primary to emotions and thoughts; tension in the body can correlate with thought patterns.
  • Breathwork can help explore these connections by eliciting incomplete reflexes associated with stored emotions.
