You may not have heard the phrase Nervous System Relaxation yet. It\u2019s all about how to calm your nervous system. Here\u2019s the scoop on what it is and a great way to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our autonomic nervous system is controlled by two basic systems. The Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One controls our response to danger. You\u2019ve probably heard it called your \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode. The medical name for it is our Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS). And like being stressed, when our SNS is turned on all the time it causes our bodies to react negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other one controls our relaxation and recovery. Which is often called our \u201crest and digest\u201d mode and medically it\u2019s called our Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS). This is the one we want turned on. It controls the body\u2019s ability to relax. When our body relaxes, it can start to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We experience stress daily. We stress out when we\u2019re late for an appointment, driving in traffic, or when we miss an important phone call. Even just thinking about everything we need to do, can cause us stress and anxiety. It\u2019s an ongoing battle. We\u2019re always in overdrive. We feel it, and our bodies feel it. Our bodies react negatively to it. Eventually it can cause chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, migraines, and more. Our PNS just can\u2019t kick in to downregulate or turn off our SNS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once our PNS is in control again, our body can relax, our nervous system calms down. When this happens it reduces our risk of cardiac heart disease and stroke; increases our digestive metabolism, so it\u2019s better for our gut; and decreases migraines. What\u2019s not to love about that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
