Train Your Nervous System Like a Muscle (Grounded Meditation) (Self-Care Saturday)
Sat Jan 31 2026
Today’s session is a little different than a typical meditation or breathwork practice.
This isn’t about zoning out.
It’s not about getting sleepy.
And it’s not about escaping stress.
Today, we’re training your nervous system.
Just like strength, balance, or coordination, calm is a skill.
And skills get better with reps.
Most people live in a nervous system that’s always “on.”
Always alert.
Always reacting.
Always bracing.
And the problem isn’t stress itself —
it’s that we rarely practice downshifting while staying present.
So today’s session is about grounding.
Grounding doesn’t shut you down.
It stabilizes you.
It teaches your body that it’s safe right here, without checking out.
All you need to do is follow along.
There’s nothing to fix.
Nothing to force.
Let’s get started.
