Welcome to Part 1 of 3 in this mini series of episodes on Meditation and the Nervous System.
One of the most common reasons people come to meditation is the impact of too much stress...But!
Not all stress is bad.
In fact, stress is essential, it’s the overdose and poor recovery that harm us.
In this episode, I share how meditation helps us change our relationship with stress and why awareness is the first step to freedom.
Topics covered:
-
Redefining stress: the difference between helpful stress and harmful stress
-
Where stress lives
-
Stress as an internal response
-
Why the same event triggers different stress levels in different people
-
How stress shrinks your “comfort zone” and makes you more reactive
-
The radical shift of taking responsibility for your stress response
-
How society conditions us to normalise high stress
-
Why stress itself isn’t the problem, but unawareness and poor recovery are
-
How self-awareness breaks the cycle of conditioning and restores balance
-
Meditation as a daily tool: not just for enlightenment, but for stress management and resilience
So I hope this first episode was helpful in reminding you that stress isn’t the enemy, it’s simply a messenger and meditation helps us listen.
