Shalom Harlow Instagram – 🧠 I thought it was all in my head 🧠 I’ve contended with a sense of overwhelm and anxiety most of the my life. I did positive affirmations and visualizations and meditation for years. All valuable, but excluded my body. Neuroscience developments in the past 10 years have finally validated what i always felt. It’s NOT just in my head. It’s in my body too. Amygdala hijack is real, and though it seemingly takes place in brain, the body’s stimuli activates the response. It is a circular loop, brain regulates body as body regulates brain. Somatic practices such as yoga and qigong, or simple shaking practices and eye movement processes can rewrite less than optimal conditioning. The brain and body are elastic and can be retrained.
