INSIGHT

Signal Safety To The Body First

  • Martin notes that when the world gets loud our bodies slip into fight-or-flight even if the mind feels otherwise.
  • He emphasizes signalling safety to the body first because talking yourself calm often fails under physiological stress.
ADVICE

Double-Inhale To Calm The Vagus

  • Do the double-inhale: breathe in, take a tiny sip at the top, then exhale slowly to stimulate the vagus nerve.
  • Repeat until your shoulders drop and your jaw unclenches to down-regulate the stress response.
ADVICE

Sigh To Release Tension

  • Start sessions with a long audible sigh to release held tension and invite relaxation.
  • Use sound if it helps; then let breathing return to its natural rhythm while focusing on 'softening.'
