How To Regulate Your Nervous System
This episode breaks down two powerful approaches to nervous system regulation. First, we explore body-based processing techniques including orienting, vocal vibration (dhikr), butterfly taps, deep sighing, and cold water resets. These bottom-up approaches allow your body's intelligence to interrupt panic cycles when thinking has become part of the problem.
Then we go into mind-based regulation through the C-NEAR method (Circumstance, Nervous System Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, Results). This approach helps you catch the thoughts driving chaos, create space between triggers and responses, and consciously choose different perspectives that bring your system back to safety.
What makes this work profound is understanding that these complementary approaches to the same destination. Sometimes processing through the body clears mental fog, while other times changing a thought gives your body permission to release tension it's been holding.
Put these methods into practice and then look for micro-shifts: Are you pausing more before reacting? Sleeping better? Recovering from stress more quickly? Small improvements signal your practice is working.
