Hello, Busy Beavers -
I hesitated to say that, but I think I can safely say that you've been a Busy Beaver! It's pretty much our norm in our culture. For me, as my actions get greater externally, it is important that my time spent internally gets greater too. That way the scales can stay better aligned when it comes to the balance of activity & rest/stillness.
This internal balance is directly reflected in our nervous system. Our nervous system is comprised of 2 systems, the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS) & the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS).
The PSNS is in charge of the parts of our body that are responsible for our body’s ability to heal itself, our rest/sleep, our digestion, and the calming of our nervous system. The PSNS is the “steady as she goes” regulator.
The SNS is the part of our nervous system that is very reactive in nature. It promotes the “fight or flight” response and allows lots of action and energy in our activities. The PSNS & SNS are complementary to each other. i.e.-together they always equal 100% and are constantly working toward equilibrium or 50/50.
Our culture seems to celebrate a very “active lifestyle” (the SNS is having a constant hayday) and things can easily tip out of balance if proper attention is not given to the “quiet” part of our lives (the PSNS). Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Stomach ulcers, are just a few of the "dis-eases" that are directly related to the PSNS not working well or being way less than 50%.
When we find ourselves feeling taxed. There are so many choices you can make that will help you. Simply breathing deep breaths in a quiet setting for 5 minutes can be of tremendous help when you feel the equilibrium of life tipping out of balance. Watch this video as a quick recess to help you!
All the services at our studio promote good conditioning of your PSNS. Yoga, Massage/Bodywork, CranioSacral Therapy, our Crystal Bed & Infrared Sauna all offer opportunities to reset & re-balance. Our pets and loved ones are also a big help to us if we allow the gifts of their presence to permeate our beings. The choices we make everyday, all day are important to our health and well-being.
Our very first Fall Yoga Retreat is yet another sucker punch to stress and a hefty dose of resetting your PSNS! Consider registering for some R&R on the top of a mountain in a comfortable center surrounded by nature and beautiful souls.
Love to you all! See you soon!
