Feel Unmotivated or Flat? Activate Flexibility in Your Nervous System (A Practice) with Jennifer England

Jun 21, 2024

Jennifer offers a practice to dispel the myth that a regulated nervous system equates to calmness and neutrality. 

Drawing on insights from somatic experiencing practitioner Kimberly Ann Johnson, she emphasizes the importance of practicing flexibility in your nervous system to manage life's challenges. 

Jennifer introduces a playful practice of friendly wrestling to help you activate latent energy, track sensation, support an energetic re-set and make way for necessary expression, movement or boundaries.

This practice contributes to your understanding of the activation-receptivity energetic pole  so you can access greater aliveness and discernment. 

If you have an insight from this practice that you'd like to share, we'd love to hear! Email Jennifer with any questions or observations- jennifer@sparkcoaching.ca
