INSIGHT

Calming The Body Enables Manifestation

  • Chronic hypervigilance blocks manifestation and connection to the divine by keeping you in fight/flight.
  • Settling your nervous system shifts your frequency so you can better listen to the universe and attract desires.
ADVICE

Tap The Gamut Point To Signal Safety

  • Use EFT tapping on the gamut point to signal safety to your nervous system and reprocess emotional disturbance.
  • Tap the meaty spot between the ring finger and pinky while repeating I am safe and breathing deeply for quick regulation.
ADVICE

Use Humming To Tone The Vagus Nerve

  • Stimulate your vagus nerve with slow deep breaths and low humming on the exhale to activate parasympathetic tone.
  • Practice 3–5 rounds of inhale then a low hum (vagal toning) to slow heart rate and invite 'rest and digest'.
