Hartmath can support our well being in many ways. Our nervous system touches all the parts of our bodies. The enternevri would if the enternet was down, like we wouldn't even have this session here. When we become more body intelligent, we can start to to really pay attention to 's going on with our nervous system. And that sends a message through the nervous system, moving us out of that fighter flight state and into a calm and coherent state of being.

So,
Speaker 1
all right, so am so hartmath can support our well being in many ways. And just to give the listeners here a a few, a few, you know, kind of more specific ways. Um, howdis how dies our nervous system, you know, because the nervous system will include both the brain, you know, and the heart, cause there's that connection between those two. But, but how does our nervous system impect our health over alla. And then maybe maybe we can add some things about ina differnt organ sistems or people are interested, i sure so. R our
Speaker 2
nervous system unpacks everything, because our nervous system touches all the parts of our bodies. I mean, the nervous system goes to our to our heart, yo, you know, itenervates everything, down to our gutsi
Speaker 1
is, ca, the enternevri would if the enternet was down, like we wouldn't even have this session here, or, you kno tela medicine or tiis the communication system. It's the network that
Speaker 2
is, that are, that's our nervous system. Tn, it mpacts everything. So really, i think, i think there threare few things about the nervous system. One is a, go, this goes back to bek, just the being really in an having that body intelligence, right? And so so often we don't actually realize what's happening within our bodies. And so the messages that are coming through our nervous system we're aware of most of the time. So, for example, when we get into these stressed states, a, we don't, we're not actually registering them, because we're still in in the mind. We're not registering where it's showing up physically for us, right? And a, and thot that that's an issue. Because because when we become more intelligent in our bodies and really say, ah, ok, i feel it. I feel stress in my chest, i feel tress, stress in my a i'm sweating, or i am clenching my belly, once we begin to feel it in the body, we can use that communication system that the nervous system to from the body to calm down the mind, to calm down all of it, right? So and soh when we become more body intelligent, we can start to to really pay attention to 's going on with our nervous system, and where we're feeling tension, where we're feeling anger, where we're feeling loneliness, where we're feeling stuck. And then, ah, we can top into that feeling in the body and begin to ask it, what oes it need? You know? Do i need to to n relax shoulders? Do i need to breathe differently? Do i need to move around? I and that sends a message through the nervous system, moving us out of that fighter flight state and moving us over into a calm and coherent state of being.
