Menstrual Cycle Mastery

49: How To Regulate Your Nervous System

Listen Later
In this episode, we chat about what "regulation" means exactly when it comes to your nervous system, and how to have more of it in your body and emotional life. 

When we have more access to the rest and digest, or the ventral vagal part of the nervous system, we are able to regulate ourselves more frequently. So, regulating the nervous system is about working on our capacity with difficult feelings and experiences. And then knowing how to come back to feeling settled in rest and digest again.
