Where It All Begins: The Nervous System


Listen Later

Before thought, before story, before choice, everything begins in the nervous system.


In this 7 minute meditation-style episode, we explore the science and poetry of the body’s wiring: the sympathetic “accelerator,” the parasympathetic “brake,” and the vagus nerve, the wandering thread that connects breath, heart, and gut.


You’ll learn simple practices to soften the string when life feels pulled too tight: longer exhales, grounding through the feet, cold water resets, humming, and orienting to your surroundings.
