In this episode, we delve into the concept of sympathetic dominance and its impact on our nervous system and overall well-being. We explore how an imbalanced nervous system can prevent us from achieving wholeness and trust in life.

We discuss how sympathetic dominanceโwhere the fight or flight response is overly activeโcan lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and various physical symptoms.
๐ง๐ต๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:This episode breaks down three primary sources of tension that contribute to sympathetic dominance:
๐ญ. ๐ฃ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Often caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor posture, physical tension can be alleviated through practices like foam rolling, yin yoga, and breathwork. Techniques such as 4-7-8 breathing and box breathing are highlighted as effective methods for releasing physical tension and regulating the nervous system.
๐ฎ. ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Rooted in our belief systems and the choices we make, mental tension arises from living out of alignment with the truth. By constantly questioning our assumptions and aligning our beliefs with reality, we can reduce mental stress and live more authentically.
๐ฏ. ๐๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Unresolved emotions like shame, guilt, and trauma contribute to emotional tension. Facing these emotions head-on and integrating the shadow self can help release this tension, leading to a more balanced and whole existence.
Join me in this episode as we explore the sources of tension that lead to sympathetic dominance and how to address them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to regulate their nervous system and move towards a more relaxed, authentic, and real life.
