Breaking The Cycle

In this lesson, we explore trigger-reaction cycles, those automatic, overwhelming responses. We'll uncover how the amygdala, your brain's danger detector, plays a key role. You'll learn to break free from these patterns with awareness, observation, detachment, and regulation techniques like deep breathing. Define your Sankalpa, a personal mantra for guidance. Deep breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, activating the "Rest and Digest" team (parasympathetic nervous system) to counter the "Fight or Flight" response (sympathetic nervous system). This enhances your ability to manage stress and cultivate calm.
