How to Relax When You Can’t Relax | A Somatic Meditation to Settle Your Nervous System

About this episode

This episode features a somatic meditation designed to help listeners relax and settle their nervous system amidst overstimulation.

Struggling to relax (even when you want to) is often a sign of nervous system dysregulation caused by constant overstimulation that keeps your body stuck in an “on” state. This somatic meditation can help your nervous system shift out of that state so you can unwind, feel more at ease, and actually relax.
