142: The Solar Plexus Chakra Stress Response - Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn Part 1

Today we’re talking about the sympathetic nervous system stress response. You might have heard this called fight or flight, to which we'll add freeze and fawn in the upcoming weeks. We'll talk about all of these stress responses - why they happen, why they’re great (and not so great), as well as which chakras might be imbalanced by them if we’re in a constant state of stress arousal. And I’ll give you some techniques to help soothe the stress response and rebalance the chakra. First up is our Fight response, a solar plexus chakra imbalance, and it doesn't just include physical combat. The fight response can include harsh words, sarcastic comments, and more. We'll learn why this almost never makes us feel better long term, the hormones and energy imbalances responsible for returning our bodies to a calmer state, and some "in the moment" techniques to disperse the fight instinct. Each week, we'll continue to learn tools and ideas that we can use to move closer to our highest selves!
