The Parasympathetic Nervous System ...

The PNS is a division of the nervous system responsible for controlling the body's processes that maintain homeostasis.

The PNS:

- Diverts blood to central organs

- Slows heart rate

- Encourages digestion by promoting salivation and the release of bile

- Slows breathing rate

How to engage the PNS:

- Gentle movement like yoga / stretching

- Humming

- Taking slow, wide, deep breaths

- Practicing relaxing activities like reading, infrared sauna therapy, meditation

A gentle reminder that rest is a productive part of maintaining consistent wellness.
