Key Takeaways:

• Movement is more than physical exercise; it is a tool for emotional and spiritual processing.

• Breath regulates the nervous system: inhalation activates sympathetic (fight or flight) responses; exhalation engages parasympathetic (rest and reset) responses.

• Simple daily practices, like conscious breath and mindful movement, can down-regulate stress and anxiety.

• Awareness of the body’s state—activated, frozen, or depressed—guides personalized practices for healing.

• Sensory engagement (touch, sound, sight) can help shift energy and increase presence in the moment.

• Regulation doesn’t require advanced yoga; even one mindful movement or one conscious breath can initiate healing.

• The ABC technique (Acknowledge, Breathe, Connect) helps identify bodily sensations and guide nervous system regulation.
