Simple somatic practices to calm your nervous system
When stress peaks, your nervous system can get stuck in a "fight or flight" loop. Somatic practices offer a bottom-up approach, using the body to signal safety directly to the brain. Here are five simple somatic exercises to calm your nervous system in under five minutes:
The Butterfly Hug (Bilateral Stimulation)
Cross your arms over your chest, resting your hands on opposite shoulders. Alternate tapping each shoulder- left, then right- in a slow, rhythmic pace. This bilateral stimulation helps synchronize brain hemispheres and enhances vagal tone, making it a powerful tool for immediate grounding.
