Somatic Exercises For Nervous System Regulation: 35 Beginner – Intermediate Techniques To Reduce Anxiety & Tone Your Vagus Nerve In Under 10 Minutes A Day (Anxiety Relief)

I love that the exercises work with body and mind. The author explains everything so that it is easily understood. It is great that I don’t have to go to a gym for these exercises.

I just got this book and it looks very readable, easy to use and helpful. I have done this work and have given people the idea that this works, and this is a good road map. I haven't done enough with it yet to give a full review, but they asked, so here it is.

This is a really well written guide for beginners in somatic exercises. It’s not only breathing and physical but also writing exercises. I like the drawings and varied avenues to find the stress relief.

I am a teacher of yoga, and I bought this book to help me recover from foot surgery in December. Because I couldn't do my regular practice for a couple of months, these exercises gave me emotional peace, presence and kept me in some mode of yoga. I plan to incorporate these somatic concepts into my teaching style in the future.

The text is helpful and accurate in emphasizing that healing is a slow, slow process, though it doesn't address the fact that most people healing from emotional trauma are not able to be consistent, even for 10 minutes a day. But the illustrations seem thrown in--the illustration for the exercise called pelvic tilts actually shows a bridge pose which is quite different from pelvic tilits; the illustrations for the Sun Salutation are missing the 2 most complex poses--downward/upward dog. The book does have a pretty even mix of males and females in the illustrations, but everyone looks quite white.

I’m impressed with this book about Somatic exercises that will help me regulate my nervous system. It’s one thing to go to physical therapy and learn some of the same exercises found in this book to strengthen muscles. Still, it’s another, entirely different spin when you use those same exercises to release stress and strengthen emotional resilience. The information that makes up the bulk of the book educated me in understanding why and how my body holds onto emotion and stress, and also how to identify if I’m still holding onto heavy weights from the past. I’ve already used a couple of techniques and exercises to improve the way I deal with stress at work. I’m excited to let go of so much more to gain myself again.You’ll love this book if you’re looking for detailed, guided, illustrations, and pictures of how to perform different exercises, but especially the information about what you do with your mind while performing these techniques. That’s the important part. I’ve been doing many of these exercises for years yet haven’t gotten the results that I’ve noticed since reading this book and following the advice.This book is effective as an ebook, but the paperback would be the better purchase so you can view the images easier.

You can tell the author truly cares about healing people and put their whole heart into this book. It is simple and very helpful. I contains easy things to do to help you reduce stress so is for everyone who lives in the modern world. It is also good for anyone who has pain or trauma. I will use some of the material in my yoga class. Thank you so much!

This is an excellent book for someone who is interested in starting to incorporate somatic practices into their lives. The author shares her own healing journey and explains how somatic practices positively impact the nervous system to keep you in a regulated state. I highly recommend
