It is not always the object itself. Sometimes it is the state your nervous system learns to associate with it.In this episode of Silent Medicine, Dr. Nnenna Ndika explores nervous system calm, emotional regulation, ritual, symbolic objects, and how repeated cues can help the body return to a steadier internal state.A crystal, tool, or ritual can become a cue, but the deeper teaching is about the state you repeatedly pair with it.
