Welcome to Part 2 of 3 in this mini series of episodes on Meditation and the Nervous System.

In this episode, we dive deep into the anatomy of the stress response and explore why meditation is such a powerful antidote.

You’ll learn how this survival system was designed to protect us but how in modern life it often works against us.

Topics covered:

• What the stress response is and why nature designed it
• Your biological defence shield
• Why imagined fears trigger the same reaction as real danger
• How chronic stress drains energy and relegates our health
• A lesson from the animal kingdom
• 5 ways stress physically reshapes the body (jaw, joints, digestion, nerves, tendons)
• Why meditation is a practical tool to reset the nervous system

Stress isn’t just “in your head” — it’s in your body.

Through meditation we help our physical body guide shift the nervous system out of chronic sympathetic activation and into a restorative state where tissues, joints, and nerves can re-lengthen, decompress, and heal.
