🦋 Day Seven – Somatic Butterfly Release

Nervous System Noël

Today we soften.
Today we open.
Today we let the body lead.

Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall open like butterfly wings.
Gently pulse the knees or fold forward with slow, spacious breaths — inviting your hips and pelvis to melt, unwind, and release.

This simple somatic practice helps your nervous system shift from holding to allowing.
From tension to tenderness.
From guarding to opening.

Stay present with whatever you feel , sensation, emotion, or quiet stillness.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to force.
Just the body releasing naturally, breath by breath.

A soft landing for your whole system.
A moment of coming home.

Let your wings open. Let yourself exhale.

✨ Nervous System Noël – Day 6: Mindful Mobility ✨

Mindful mobility is the art of moving your body with slow, intentional awareness, gently exploring your range of motion while staying connected to your breath. When you move this way, your nervous system shifts out of “fight or flight” and into a state of calm, allowing your muscles to soften and your body to feel safe again.

These simple, conscious movements nourish your joints, boost circulation, and keep your tissues supple, which is why they’re so powerful for easing age-related aches, stiffness, and those little pains that show up when life gets busy.

Move gently, breathe deeply, and let your body know it’s supported. Every small, mindful stretch is a gift to your future self.

✨ Day 5: Nervous System Noël – Body Check-In Practice

Find a comfortable seat.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Take a slow breath… and ask yourself:
“What sensation is strongest in my body right now?”

Name the sensation.
Then breathe into it.

When we host our sensations, rather than blocking, fixing, or numbing them, our body feels seen, heard, and safe.
This tiny moment of presence is a powerful way to support a regulated nervous system.

Take one more breath.
You’re doing beautifully. ✨

Caption: Day 4 — Full Moon Release



Today we’re working with the magic of the December Full Moon in Gemini a moon that shines a light on our truths, our communication, our thoughts, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Gemini energy invites us to release:

🌕 mental clutter

🌕 outdated beliefs

🌕 unspoken feelings

🌕 anything that keeps your nervous system in loops of tension, overthinking, or self-doubt

As the final full moon of the year, this is your invitation to clear what you don’t want to carry into 2026.

Let go of the thoughts, patterns, and energetic weight that no longer match who you’re becoming.

Take a breath.

Name what you’re releasing.

Let the moon support your nervous system in softening, clearing, and making space for a calmer more aligned you.

✨ Yin & Chill – A Deep Reset Before the Festive Season ✨

Sunday 7th December | 19:00–20:30

The Wellbeing Space, Long Buckby

ÂŁ10

Before the Christmas busyness begins, gift yourself 90 minutes of stillness, softness and deep nourishment.

What to expect:

Yin Yoga is a slow, soothing style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods to gently release tension in the body and calm the nervous system. It’s the perfect antidote to stress, grounding, introspective and deeply restorative.

No prior yoga experience is needed. This class is suitable for every body.

We’ll be using bolsters, blankets and props to fully support the body in restorative holds, allowing you to melt into relaxation and encourage a sense of ease from the inside out.

🌙 Included: A Warm Cup of Cacao

You’ll also be invited to enjoy a comforting cup of ceremonial-style cacao. Cacao contains natural compounds such as theobromine and magnesium, which can help relax the body, soften tension, open the heart and enhance feelings of calm and wellbeing. It’s the perfect companion to a yin practice grounding, soothing and deeply nourishing.

If you’re craving calm, cosy vibes and a moment to reset before the festive whirlwind… this is for you. ✨

Limited spaces, message to reserve your spot or follow the link.

❄️ Day 3: Nervous System Noël – Cold Face Plunging ❄️

Feeling frazzled? This is your instant calm button.

Cold face plunging activates your mammalian dive reflex, lowering your heart rate, calming your mind, and grounding your nervous system in seconds.

How to do it:

• Fill a bowl with cold water + ice and take a deep breath.

• Submerge your face to your cheekbones for 10–20 seconds, relaxing your exhale.

• Lift your face, breathe slowly, and repeat 2–3 times.

The cold triggers your vagus nerve, dropping you out of fight-or-flight, reducing cortisol, and giving your system a soothing reset.

Perfect for holiday overwhelm, anxious minds, and anyone craving a peaceful pause.

✨ Nervous System Noël — Day 2 ✨

5-Minute Morning Movement

Today we’re waking the body up gently with:

• Slow neck rolls

• Shoulder circles

• Cat–Cow

• Hip circling

Just five minutes of mindful movement to start your day. ✨

These soft, rhythmic movements hydrate your joints, release overnight tension, and signal to your brain that you’re safe, grounded, and ready. Moving through the spine and hips activates the vagus nerve, boosts circulation, and helps shift you out of that stiff, sleepy state into a calm, energised one.

It’s a beautiful way to land in your body before the day begins, especially in a busy month like December.

Join me tomorrow for more nervous system nourishment.

✨Nervous System Noël — Day 1 ✨

Breath Reset

December is a magical time but it can also be a lot for your nervous system.

That’s why I’m sharing a Nervous System Advent, 24 days of simple, calming practices to bring you back into your body, back into your calm.

Day 1: Breath Reset

Place your hands on your belly.

Inhale gently for a count of 4.

Pause.

Exhale slowly for a count of 6.

Repeat for at least one minute.

This extended exhale breath pattern signals safety to your brain.

It activates your parasympathetic nervous system the “rest and digest” state, lowering cortisol, and slowing your heart rate. This reminds your body it is okay to unwind.

Just one minute can shift your entire internal atmosphere.

More calm coming tomorrow

You don’t need to feel totally calm, ready or aligned before you take action.

A regulated nervous system isn’t one that avoids challenge, it’s one that can meet edges, stay present, and return to safety.

Support yourself as you grow, not instead of growing.

Most women are running on high cortisol and have no idea.

The real magic happens when you start recognising what’s causing those spikes in the first place. Awareness is the first step to healing.

Triggers Are Invitations to Heal

It doesn’t matter how much inner work or self-development you might have done, there will always be moments, situations, or people that trigger you.

And while that can feel frustrating, it’s actually a gift.

A trigger simply reveals that there’s still a wound underneath, a tender part of you asking for attention.

If you use the trigger to blame or project outward, you hand your power away.

But if you turn inward with curiosity and compassion, the trigger becomes a portal for deeper healing and understanding of your self.

If an insult lands, ask yourself:

“What part of me believes this might be true?”

Your triggers are a fast-track route to uncovering hidden, limiting beliefs.

And when you bring those subconscious patterns into the light, they lose their power.

Every trigger is a chance to reframe, to release, and to return to self.
