3 Deep Resilience Meditations
COME TO YOUR SENSES WITH CRANIAL NERVE SEQUENCING
PRACTICE 1: INTEGRATING SENSATION, EMOTION, AND THOUGHT
This check-in welcomes sensation, emotion, and cognition, and the flow between them. Use this to access a state of integrated presence that prepares your nervous system for learning, connection, and clear communication.
PRACTICE 2: BREATHING AND SMELL
Primal and effortless, smell is a powerful touchstone for calm, trust, and receptivity. In this meditation you will explore the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve 1) that carries signals from the olfactory bulb inside your sinus cavities directly to your limbic system. Breathing is the motor activity that pairs with this sense organ.
PRACTICE 3: LIGHT RECEPTION
This practice explores cranial nerve 2, the optic nerve. Bathe your eyes in the soothing experience of light, dark, and color. Restore your visual system to a more receptive state that can have profound effects on how you see. Light guides us towards warmth and the sun, the source of all life, which is why eyes evolved into one of our most complex sense organs.
