Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat if feeling “calm” isn’t the same as being regulated - and what if real healing requires more than just slowing down?In this episode, we explore a concept that so many of us misunderstand: the difference between relaxation and nervous system regulation. While relaxation can be soothing, regulation is what allows us to move fluidly through the natural rises and falls of daily life - without disconnecting, shutting down, or overriding what our bodies are trying to tell us.We talk about:✨ Why staying calm can actually become a mask for dysregulation✨ How true regulation is less about stillness and more about flexibility, awareness, and connection✨ The power of understanding your emotional landscape - especially in the messy, beautiful real-life moments of parenting✨ Practical tools to support your system in real time (not just when you have space for a long practice)✨ The trap of “faux spirituality” - bypassing discomfort instead of meeting yourself with honesty✨ Why self-compassion is foundational to nervous system healingThroughout this conversation, we share personal stories, gentle insights, and grounded strategies to help you build a deeper, more resilient relationship with your body and your emotions.💫 And if you’re wanting to go further, we introduce our course designed to help you truly understand and regulate your nervous system with nuance, curiosity, and compassion.Get ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!And if you have any comments on the show, any questions you might want answered, or you just want to connect - reach out to us directly @luminousbody and @drjaxsonwearingWe’re here to help you understand the full power that breathwork can have on your physical and mental health - Jaxson is hosting our Creative Conscious Breathwork sessions, using a combination of energy work and sound healing practices to elevate your consciousness: https://www.luminousbody.co/eventsUnsure of where to start on your own stress management path?
