TODAY'S LEARNING
How To Regulate Your Nervous System

It's normal to occasionally experience tension or anxiety. Everyone experiences it. But high stress can have an impact on your body, particularly your autonomic nervous system, the part of your body responsible for regulating your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. You can control your nervous system and take proactive measures to improve your well-being, reduce stress, and lead a more balanced life.

How to regulate your nervous system:

1. Try a physiological sigh or other breathing exercises

A physiological sigh is a natural deep breathing pattern consisting of two quick inhales followed by a longer exhale. It can help calm the sympathetic system and activate the parasympathetic system.

2. Move your body

Exercise can be a great way to relieve stress and regulate the nervous system. Take a walk, practice yoga, or dance around your living room to your favorite song. Physical activity may help release tension and help your body feel more relaxed.

3. Use a weighted blanket

A weighted blanket may activate your parasympathetic nervous system through deep pressure touch. This form of therapy uses touch and feeling sensations as a calming technique. The combination of a weighted blanket and the activation of your parasympathetic nervous system can help to naturally relax your body and calm your mind.

4. Meditate to help calm your mind

Meditation can offer many benefits, including helping to reduce stress and restore the nervous system. Try sitting in a quiet space, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breath or a calming phrase. This may help center your thoughts and calm your mind.

5. Introduce mindfulness into your routine to help reduce stress

Focusing on mindfulness, or being present in the current moment can be therapeutic and help ground you and remind you to exist in the now. Try grounding yourself by feeling the earth beneath your feet, the texture of an object in your hand, or the feeling of wind against your skin.

6. Sing or laugh

Singing and laughing can both stimulate the vagus nerve, the main nerve in your parasympathetic nervous system, which can help you feel relaxed. Singing and laughing also increase your intake of oxygen, which can help with improving energy and mood.

7. Give yourself a massage or a hug

Touch can be a powerful tool for relaxation. Give yourself a healing massage by gently rubbing your temples, neck, arms, or feet, where stress can often be stored. Or try wrapping your arms around yourself for a hug, which can provide comfort and a sense of security.

8. Try tapping

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an emerging practice that involves gently tapping specific points on your body while focusing on a calming phrase. Some common areas to engage in tapping include the outer palm, center of your forehead, below your nose, and below your lip, just to name a few.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Paris Leading The Way For Bikes…

The French capital’s long love affair with la voiture appears to be over: bikes are now more popular than cars in the inner city.

Research by the urban planning agency Institut Paris Region found that Parisians now use bicycles for 11.2% of trips inside the city centre (up from 3% in 2010), while cars are used for just 4.3% of journeys. In the outer suburbs, cars are still king of the road.

Paris’ two-wheeled revolution follows a major programme of cycle lane building in the city centre.

CRYSTAL OF THE DAY

SOUND HEALING
KAMDEV GAYATRI MANTRA

Kamdev is known to be the God of love, passion, and lust. He depicts desire, sexuality, and sensuality. Kamdev is the son of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi; his wife is Rati. Kamdev’s weapon is a bow made of sugarcane and arrows made of flowers. He is also known as the “Indian Cupid,” who makes people understand the power of love.

There are no temples dedicated to the Lord; however, in Assam, India, there is a temple for Kamdev. People here worship both Kamdev and his brother Madan. This is their way of showing respect toward love since life is meaningless when there is no love and sensual connection.
