Return to site Understanding and calming the nervous system in times of coronavirus

If you are a human these days you will be experiencing all kinds of changes and fluctuations in your mood., your energy level…

Your thoughts will be going through moments of hope and others of great frustration and distrust in the future..

If there is something good about this tremendous crisis, it is that it unites us all in our common vulnerability..

Each of us is feeling vulnerable to different degrees and in different ways..

At work, and personally.

One of the consequences is that along with the social distancing to which we are obliged, we are adding the distancing that our own nervous systems activated in defense mode are causing around us..

Without observation and understanding of what happens to us internally and how our autonomic nervous system works, we will not realize that what is suddenly causing us to, the other is the enemy (on a professional or personal level) or the other is something totally distant and unattainable, It has more to do with the story that our brain is telling us with the signals that our autonomic nervous system sends it..

Some may be in contact with that vulnerability and it will bring them closer to others., For others, the mere recognition of this will be so intolerable that they will unconsciously look for ways to put themselves above it, with the unintended consequence of feeling even more distanced from others., even more alone.

Furthermore, our health is directly related to our autonomous states., For our immune system to be able to do its job, our system needs to be activated in a specific way., our ventral needs to be activated.

And that can only happen if our neurosystem perceives enough security within our body., in our environment and in the people we interact with.

There is little we can do right now with what is happening around us., However, we always have the choice to be able to do something inside ourselves.

This is my humble contribution to your nervous system.

From my ventral to your ventral, with all my love.
