Spiritual practices, like meditation or spending time outdoors, have the ability to expand our consciousness and cultivate connection with ourselves and the universe. But today’s guest, NSI practitioner and educator Melanie Weller, is sharing something important for you to remember: “Any evolution that we aspire to experience for ourselves starts with nervous system regulation.” To get the most out of your spiritual practices, for them to truly impact behavior and change your perspective, you must have the capacity and resiliency to experience moments of “awe” or stress without dysregulation. That’s why Melanie and hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth are diving deeper into the power of nervous system regulation, sharing how presence and embodiment transformed their own healing practices and resulted in expanded spirituality and self-expression. This episode also covers the science behind loneliness and our health, how cosmology affects the nervous system, and the concepts of species loneliness and fearless presence. Nervous system regulation IS the path to spirituality and the divine. Tune in to learn more!
