So I am tending to it.
And the way I am tending to it is through long slow passive back bends met with deep smooth breathing. The play is to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system with the back bend while also stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system with the deep breathing. The hope is that I can retrain my nervous system and believe that I am safe. Read More about how the Nervous System.
The Sequence has 8 parts.
An Introduction
A Landing Forward Fold
An Opening Gentle Backbend
A Medium Backbend
A More Demanding Backbend
A Soft Watery Backbend
A Spinal Twist
A Smoothing Out Resting Posture
It should be up on Lulu's soon. It is a prop happy sequence.
