When I come back to Bali each winter (monsoon here), I come to create. To write, to vision, to film some videos for you - though first, to pause.
When I land, I give myself days to relax into, to feel the slower, simpler pace of traditional life here.
This is space to listen in to my nervous system, and to drop into a kinder pace that supports it.
It is easy to do where I'm staying as it is surrounded by rice paddy fields, frogs croaking and crickets singing all night. Torrential monsoon rains fall most evenings and the streams are gurgling and overflowing.
Each morning happy ducks quack loudly as they follow their farmer out into the paddies to eat bugs in the water around the rice. (Pic is Ducks off to ‘work’ in the rice paddies.)
The sounds of the wildlife here are so loud that my online clients often hear them in the background on our calls.
For here amongst the rice paddies there are no roads or no cars, a few bikes - mostly just the sounds of nature.
This is an environment that is deeply supportive and relaxing to our nervous system.
Yet what are the benefits of supporting our nervous system this way?
Two key reasons are -
• When our nervous system is more balanced it enhances our Emotional Balance and Mental Clarity. Helps us think clearer and boosts our mood and wellbeing by enhancing chemicals in our body like serotonin and dopamine. These help reduce that core level anxiety that we can often feel about the smallest things.
• Increases our Stress Resistance. It does this by calming our freeze, fight or flight reactions in stressful times which helps us to adapt to and handle stress situations and triggers so much easier. Life feels just that bit easier.
Simple ways to help rebalance your nervous system?
• Birds - Listen to Birds singing (even a recording), or to relaxing Music.
• Hum - Humming a song, or just a note, sets up a vibration through our chest and jaw that resets our nervous system.
• Breath - Try something as simple as this ...pause a moment, close your eyes, and take a few slow breaths in your nose and let them relax longer out your mouth and feel the difference.
With all of these, your nervous system, and mind, will settle and relax back into your body, into this moment, and whatever is happening around you will feel easier.
Our nervous system loves slow, present moments. Even tiny ones.
So try taking a moment a day to pause, to feel the difference, and enjoy the uplift and expansion from it.
Your thoughts will be clearer, you'll feel happier and maybe you'll use it to tap into your creativity like I am finding here amongst the rice paddies, frogs and ducks in Bali, or for something else important for you.
