Resting Nerves Practice
Resting Nerves Practice
This is for someone.
Sometimes it can seem too monumental to do what we believe is ‘meditation’.
Because there would be a house to clean up.
Props to align.
Certain clothes to wear.
A mindset to embrace.
A lot of excuses.
You know what’s easier?
Reducing inputs.
What’s an input?
Simply, an input is anything that causes you to pay attention to your surroundings.
Sound.
Sight.
Movement.
RESTING NERVES PRACTICE
Ways To Remove Sound Input
Close windows
Add earplugs
Turn off devices
Ways To Remove Visual Input
Close curtains and/or blinds
Close eyes
Add eye mask
Ways to Remove Sensation Input
Remove tight clothing
Remove/reduce drafts
Surround skin in soft, smooth fabric
See how you feel…
You might enjoy reducing one input, but not all.
NOTE:
**If you know that some sensory deprivation causes panic or anxiety, avoid this practice.
** If you are recovering from trauma and feel this could be triggering, avoid this practice and work with a trauma-informed therapist.

Other ways to remove inputs are float tanks/float therapy. I tried one out in LA but I can’t recommend the experience there. I believe there are better float tank options than the one I tried.
If you prefer more traditional meditation techniques, even supported ones that involve a guide, try out these meditation apps.

Freedom from the past.

Freedom from fantasies of what might be.
Freedom from fear.
Freedom to enter the Now.
