I created this Om Shanti meditation as a musical way to regulate the nervous system.

Simple affirmations + universal intention: feeling safe, calm, focused, peaceful, self-aware & grounded.

If your nervous system needs a reset, this is for you. 🎧 #yogamusic #meditation

My hands got hot and her headache disappeared. That led to Reiki—from NYC, L.A. & Stonehenge to serving wounded soldiers.

I wrote this song as a meditation on peace & nervous system calm. Inspired by mantras + Reiki intention prayer.

Listen if you need a few minutes of calm.🎧 #calmingmusic #reiki

Diaphragmatic (belly) breathing = breathing that moves your diaphragm, not just your chest.

🫁 Inhale through nose → belly rises
🫁 Exhale slow → belly falls

This sends a “safe” signal to your nervous system, supports vagal tone, and can ease stress + tension.

Slow breath = calmer state. #POTS

Your nervous system has two modes: protect (sympathetic) & restore (parasympathetic). Both are normal. The issue is living in “battle mode” 24/7. Rest, play & calm aren’t luxuries—they’re biologically necessary.

Notice your mode today: protect or restore? #nervoussystemhealth #dysautonomia #zebras

I was a gym rat. I judged yoga as new agey nonsense. But the attendees looked so relaxed, curiosity took me to class. The teacher was down-to-earth. She taught gentle movements. She read poetry by candlelight. Lying in savasana, I experienced the parasympathetic shift. Bliss.
