Unfortunately for humans, our nervous system's stress response only has two settings (on and off) even though we understand degrees of tension. Whether we feel the pressure of a work deadline or an existential threat, our body responds the same way.
However, we can "hack" the stress response with body-based tools that tell the nervous system that we're OK.
In this episode, Jen guides you through a simple and powerful embodiment practice using breath work and sensation to send a signal to your brain that you're OK even when there's tremendous uncertainty.
