How FEAR can paralyze your life and what to do when it does

One morning Max, (who could be any of us), woke up feeling overwhelmed by his financial situation: taxes and ongoing payments he had to cover on one hand, and lack of income on the other.

I do not know how else to describe it, I literally feel terrified.”

Early afternoon that day, Max began to experience something that alarmed him even more: his muscles began to contract involuntarily and gradually, up to a state of continuous spasms, this time around, specifically on the left side of his upper body…

The Harmonious Connection: Sound Therapy and the Vagus Nerve's Influence on Relaxation

Sound has been an essential part of human culture and healing for millennia. From the rhythmic beats of tribal drums to the soothing melodies of classical music, sound has a profound impact on our emotions, well-being, and even our physiology.

One remarkable aspect of this influence is the connection between sound and the vagus nerve, a crucial component of our autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating many bodily functions, including the relaxation response. In this entry, we will explore the impactful influence of sound on the vagus nerve and how it, in turn, affects the entire nervous system, particularly in triggering the relaxation response.

Our inherent need to connect with Nature

Where thought goes…energy flows. Hence, it would seem logical, or at a minimum plausible, to imagine that when being in a forest or by a river, the current of thoughts is calmer and potentially more nourishing, or even healing. As opposed to when being in a hurried, hectic, or unsettling environment.

The concept that humans have a biological need to connect with nature has been called biophilia, from the Greek, meaning ‘love of life and the living world’. Because we evolved in nature, we have an inherent biological need to connect with it. Humans love nature because they learned to love the things that helped them to survive. Humans are genetically determined to love the natural world. It is in their DNA, and this affinity for the natural world is fundamental to their health. Regular contact with nature is vital to our well-being. It supports our level of awareness.
