Progressive Relaxation

By learning to relax your muscles, you can help alleviate the pain and discomfort that chronic tension often brings. Guided programs for Progressive Relaxation can be especially beneficial because they encourage focus on the voice guiding you through the process, helping to divert your attention away from anxious or intrusive thoughts.

 

Sound Bath for Sleep

A sound bath is a relaxing experience where you’re surrounded by soothing sounds from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, or chimes. The sound vibrations are believed to help calm the mind, release tension, and restore a sense of balance and well-being. Many people find sound baths to be a way to reduce stress, improve focus, and experience emotional release.

Vagus Nerve Work

Polyvagal Theory was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges in the 1990s. This theory suggests that the vagus nerve influences our ability to feel safe, connect with others, and respond to stress. It breaks down the autonomic nervous system into three different states: the ventral vagal state (calm and connected), the sympathetic state (fight or flight), and the dorsal vagal state (shutdown or freeze). His theory has had a significant impact on trauma therapy, mental health treatments, and understanding how the body responds to stress and emotions.
