@shebreath: Self-hugging and other containment exercises help regulate the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation. By stimulating the vagus nerve, providing proprioceptive input, and releasing oxytocin, self-hugging creates a sense of safety and emotional balance. This simple technique mimics comforting touch, encourages deep breathing, and helps regulate heart rate, making it a powerful tool for managing anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. Incorporating self-hugging into your routine can improve nervous system regulation, enhance body awareness, and promote overall well-being.
