Sound reflexology sessions are an opportunity to learn to use breathing as a tool to relieve stress in your daily life.
Stress Can Be a Source of Discomfort
There are so many signs of stress, and each of us tend to have a pathway for storing stress. Most of us are aware of how we "hold" stress--we might feel the discomfort of tension in the area of the neck, shoulders, or low back.
How do you cope? Often, we can adjust lifestyle to relieve some stress, but typically there are certain stressful things about life that we just cannot avoid. When that is the case, being attentive in the moment is helpful. Taking action to calm the nervous system is helpful.
Learn to Relieve Your Stress
We can process the nervous energy our body is already holding AND modulate our stress response as we encounter stress with a simple tool: Breathing!
Full bodied breathing helps us to intercept the stress response rather than unconsciously allow it to take hold in the body. Have you noticed that your breathing shifts in a stressful moment? Noticing this shift is your opportunity to take action to create greater ease in your body.
Whenever you notice shallow breathing or even NO breathing for a moment or so, take a moment to reset your system to a more relaxed state. Healthful breathing is one simple thing you can do to take charge of your stress response rather than carry it around with you through the day.
