Five minutes daily to a better life. Great advice from Stacey Schuerman.
In our day-to-day lives we are constantly bombarded by sensory experiences that we begin to overload our sensory nervous system. Loud noises crowds anything that is trying to gain our attention which begins to activate that flight or fight activity in our bodies but what would you say if I told you there was a tool that you could tap into everyday, something that happens naturally that we can use to reverse that, to activate the parasympathetic nervous system to come back to the rest or digest activity. You would be able to slow down the breath and heart rate before during and after a stressful event what if it was as simple as just breathing. What if you took 5 minutes just out of your day to focus on the breath you might think you have no time for that but what if it was a crucial regiment for your health? What if by taking that 5 minutes a day it would make a difference in your life so where do we start?
Let's Begin here right now with your breath so take a moment wherever you are you might stay seated you might stand up but get comfortable. Allow the eyes to softly close, take a moment as you're here to feel the feet firmly planted in the ground. Take a deep breath in, feel the shoulders softening down the back and start to soften the muscles into the neck into the jaw take a moment here to allow yourself permission to let go of everything outside the space, let go of anything that might have happened before this moment then let go of anything that you have to do afterwards. Let go of judgements or expectations about yourself. Allow the mind to settle and begin to listen to the beat of your heart. Welcome yourself as you are at this very present moment physically mentally emotionally begin to bring your awareness to your breath to the deep sensations of the breath.
She then goes to talk you through more relaxing stuff.
