Ever heard of the Polyvagal Theory? Paula, from our Schools Counselling team, shares how the Polyvagal Theory can help us make positive use of how the body, the brain and the mind are affected by the nervous system. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehgT4pBe #MomentsForMovement #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

?? The vagus nerve (VN) ?? & Our sense of Safety ?? ? The VN quality and plays a crucial role in our sense of safety and overall well-being. This powerful nerve connects our brain to vital organs, influencing our heart rate, digestion, and emotional state. When we feel safe, the VN helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and calm. Conversely, feelings of danger or stress can trigger the fight-or-flight response, disrupting our body-mind connection. Prioritizing safety—whether through supportive relationships, calming environments, or self-care practices—can help regulate the VN, fostering a sense of peace and resilience. By nurturing our sense of safety, we empower our body and mind to thrive. Let’s create spaces where we can feel secure, grounded, and connected. ?? #VagusNerve #SafetyAndWellbeing #MindBodyHarmony #psychology #mentalHealth #recovery

Tip to Align You Body, Mind, and Spirit... The Greatest Gift is Your Presence It is easy to get distracted and dysregulated by Our To-Do List. There can be so much to do at times, and we can become worried that we won’t get it all done. We might go-go-go, not really enjoying what we are doing, or find it hard to function because we are too overwhelmed. This can make it difficult to enjoy the present moment. - Try and notice when you get pulled out of the present moment and gently bring yourself back. - Remind yourself it will all get done. If it doesn’t, it is ok. - Ask yourself, is this something I want to do or feel I have to do? Remember, you get to decide how you spend your time. Sometimes the things we think we have to do, are misperceptions in our mind. What tips do you use to slow down in the moment?

In our everyday lives, we often hear about triggers—those things that can make us feel stressed, anxious, or upset. But there’s another side to this. Moments that make us feel good, calm, or joyful. These moments could be called “glimmers.” WHAT ARE GLIMMERS? Glimmers are small, everyday moments that bring us a sense of joy, peace, or connection. They are the opposite of triggers. Triggers bring up negative feelings, while glimmers bring positive ones. The term “glimmers” was introduced by Deb Dana, a well-known therapist who studies the Polyvagal Theory. POLYVAGAL THEORY Polyvagal Theory was developed by Dr Stephen Porges. It helps us understand how our nervous system reacts to the world around us. This theory says we have three states: Ventral Vagal State:?This is when we feel safe and connected. Sympathetic State:?This is when we feel stressed or ready to fight or run away. Dorsal Vagal State:?This is when we feel shut down or disconnected. Glimmers can help us move into the Ventral Vagal State, where we feel calm and happy. What glimmers add moments of wonder to your day, and calm your system? #glimmers #mentalhealth #therapyworks

Are you an empath? There are 3 kinds of empaths 1. Knower (know what others are thinking) 2. Feeler (feels other people's feelings) 3. Embodier (feels other people's feelings on a physical/body level) Many empaths had difficult lives including childhood trauma and abuse. As an empath, you need to learn how to protect your energy and release any toxic energy/emotions that you picked up from others. In my work with empaths, I use tools from integrative medicine and energy medicine approaches and teach empaths how to put themselves first.

Do you know how to speak to your nervous system when you're stressed? ?? Hint: words won't work. The nervous system speaks in neuroception (how we detect safety and threat) and interoception (how we sense internal body states) to bring balance and safety to regulate stress. Somatic exercises are a proven way to relieve stress and heal the nervous system in just minutes, and when done consistently over time, have major benefits. Harmonna is all about bringing this awareness and education to workplaces to help disrupt the stress epidemic. Here, Lauren is doing body tapping, which activates touch receptors that send calming signals to the brain, quickly reducing anxiety and stress. It also improves your mind-body connection (interoception). You can do this seated at your desk or during a restroom break for privacy. Give it a try and let me know what you think! ??♀?? #StressManagement #NervousSystem #Wellbeing #SomaticHealing #WorkplaceWellness #Harmonna
