Introduction

MODULE 1 — Restoring peace and internal security

Module 1 focuses on the fundamental function of the nervous system: to restore a safe state and reduce overexcitement that arises from worry, news overload, and constant stimulus overload.

When the nervous system is in standby mode for a long time, the mind begins to:

• anticipate threats

• to increase worries

• lose concentration

• to react automatically without thinking

This module will guide you back to a state where:

• breathing becomes more even

• the rhythm of the nervous system decreases

• the mind becomes clearer

• the body finds a natural balance

What you will learn in this module

• How worry activates the nervous system

• how the news flow and information environment increase readiness

• How routines restore the basic rhythm of the nervous system

• How focusing your attention calms the nervous system

• how to create a space in everyday life where the nervous system can recover
