In this episode of the Spiritualogic Podcast, Sanal discusses unique ways to reduce stress and fear by utilizing physiological processes.
He begins by emphasizing the necessity for self-validation and the idea of bringing power from the outside to the inside. He then delves into the physiology and neuroscience of fear responses.
He describes the cycle of fear, how sensory inputs are processed in our brains, and how this triggers physical responses such as sweat.
He also outlines steps to alleviate fear and stress, which include relaxing the jaw and tongue, deep breathing, expanding spatial awareness, and moving mentally through space.
These exercises are suggested to promote parasympathetic responses and help reduce internal dialogue.
He stresses that awareness of personal physiology and control over it can potentially lead to managing and overcoming fear and stress.
He presents these steps in an easy-to-follow routine that can be practiced daily to prime the brain and create neurological changes.
