## Resource

Struggling to relax (even when you want to) is often a sign of nervous system dysregulation caused by constant overstimulation that keeps your body stuck in an “on” state. This somatic meditation can help your nervous system shift out of that state so you can unwind, feel more at ease, and actually relax.
