Calming yourself & your system.

This is a simple yet effective calming technique that I recommend to my clients when they feel overwhelmed, worried or anxious. It’s a wonderful way to settle yourself and re-connect to your centre, bringing presence and more clarity.

Let's get started:

  • Stand, sit or lie down comfortably
  • Place one palm on your forehead - this will bring blood flow to the front (rational) part of your brain (your pre-frontal cortex), away from the back of your head (limbic system) where survival emotions are being triggered
  • Place the other hand on your upper chest, resting it gently on your chest bone – this accesses the acupressure point Sea of Tranquility - as the name suggests, it reduces restlessness or agitation and enhances a sense of relaxation (it also connects you to your heart space)
  • Gently close your eyes - bring your attention to your breathing and stay mindfully aware of the natural rhythm of your inhalation and exhalation
  • To support the breathing and switch on your relaxation response, try and focus on extending your exhalation compared to your inhalation e.g. breathe in on the count of 4, breathe out on the count of 6 (find a rhythm that feels good for you), this will activate your Vagus Nerve
  • If you like, you could choose to recite a short mantra such as “I feel calm” or “I am at peace" - I find it helps keeping thoughts at bay
  • Do this for a few minutes or until you feel more settled - upon opening your eyes, take a a couple of deep cleansing breaths.

As always, listen to your body and observe whether this is beneficial for you - everyone has different needs and if in doubt, conduct further research or consult with your healthcare professional. 

Please take extra care of your health & wellbeing during times of upheaval or stress - may this bring you calm, reassurance and peace, Lexi :)

“I can absolutely recommend Lexi, she is kind, compassionate and her treatments have helped me identify and manage stress and long held patterns of behaviour which have caused a massive shift in my health and wellbeing.” Helen (53)
“Lexi has been an integral part of my health regime for the past 3 years. I first went to Lexi because I was not seeing any improvement through conventional medicine for my health issue. I am consistently amazed at how much better I feel after having kinesiology sessions with Lexi.” Kylie (50)
“I felt out of balance and over stressed with my business, family and health and developed a skin condition. After seeing Lexi, I felt more focused and productive at work and far less stressed. My skin condition completely left after my 2nd session within 7 days. I can’t thank you enough Lexi.” Oli (30)
“I have suffered with nightly leg cramps for many years with no relief. Lexi was recommended to me by my daughter and after 1 visit and follow up, I am now free of the dreaded leg cramps. I can highly recommend Lexi, I think she is amazing, and I will continue to be a client of her.” Lorraine (74)
