Is your nervous system stuck in "danger mode"? In this 10-minute somatic reset, we retrain your mind to stop scanning for threats and start hunting for Glimmers—those micro-moments of safety that physically calm your anxiety.Using the latest somatic techniques, Martin guides you through a powerful session designed to switch off the panic response and regulate your vagus nerve.In this session, we cover:

• The Double Inhale Breath: The fastest physiological way to hack your nervous system and lower cortisol.
• Somatic Release: A guided body scan to drop the "heavy backpack" of tension from your shoulders and jaw.
• Glimmer Hunting: A visualization technique to rewire your brain’s filter to see the light, not just the dark.

Today’s 3 Caring Tips for a Happier, More Positive Life:

1. Set a Glimmer Goal: Challenge yourself to find 3 tiny things tomorrow that feel good (a nice smell, a soft blanket) and explicitly name them as "glimmers".
2. The Somatic Shake: If you feel stress building, stand up and shake your hands and legs for 30 seconds to physically discharge the trauma.
3. Protect Your Morning: Do not look at your phone for the first 10 minutes of the day. Let your nervous system wake up in safety, not reaction mode.
