Hello and welcome to my little corner of the web where I share my healing journey with you. That sharing helped many along their own healing journey. As you read I wish the same for you.These tools are various practices based on healing our nervous system and restoring us to a state of calm. All these tools are excerpts from various workshops and classes.
Use this tool to guide rhythmic breathing while you do your reset. It will calm your nervous system and is a good guide during your reset if deep, calm breathing is challenging. You can also use 1:1 breathing to downregulate your fight / flight or upregulate if you're in freeze / shutdown / numb.
Rhythmic Breathing App
There's an app that has adjustable settings you may enjoy for your mobile device called Kardia.

It looks like this:
Counted Breathing
Counted breathing works for some BUT that pause also has the potential to activate our nervous system's fight / flight. Denying our body of oxygen for even a moment might activate our survival brain.
Try it to see if it works for you. If not stick with the 1:1 slow, deep breathing.
Grounding Technique
When our fight / flight activates, it pushes us to disconnect if it goes on too long. It can also activate panic if we do not respond to our nervous system's prompt to self-protect.
We begin to disconnect from our body and from the present time as our brain pulls us back in time. Our survival brain does not understand time and actually believes we are experiencing that past situation
Sometimes we didn't tune in soon enough. My emotional balance course and workshop teach how to do that. Notice what signals you missed.
Maybe we're used to stuffing it down and push through. See the section on how our nervous system works in this member vault.
Sometimes we are not in a position to do something like having a panic attack in our sleep.
This is one of many techniques I teach to help you come into the present time and space, pull you out of that disconnect. Aroma Reset also does that - connects you back to your whole self, mind, body, emotion.
Awareness Model
This is a standard model and I find it fascinating this is standard practice but is just short of resetting. Follow this to connect and then just take a deep breath if you don't have oils with you. You can also use any natural aroma source or botanical. Try an herbal tea bag, leaf off a tree or plant, or grass. Just a deep breathe pulls in aroma molecules floating in the air around us.
