⭐ The Emotional Reset: Releasing, Regulating & Restoring Balance

In this episode of the Essential Wellness Podcast, we explore emotional wellness and how essential oils, breathwork, gentle movement, and mindset support emotional regulation throughout the reset process.

Hosted by Aisha Harley, alongside Arin Fugate, Ariana Harley, and Asha McLaughlin, this conversation blends expert insights with guided practices designed to calm the nervous system, release stored emotions, and cultivate sustainable self-care routines. The session emphasizes gentle, balanced approaches to emotional cleansing and highlights the connection between physical sensations, emotional awareness, and healing.

• Emotional wellness is a core component of the reset—not separate from physical cleansing.

• Gentle, supportive practices are more effective than extreme or forceful approaches.

• Balanced self-care helps regulate the nervous system during times of stress or change.

• Asha led a guided meditation focused on intention-setting and conscious breathing.

• Gentle breath practices support:

• • Nervous system regulation

  • Digestion

  • Emotional safety and grounding

• Incorporating breathwork into daily routines can ease anxiety and improve sleep.

• Emotional cleansing involves bringing awareness to stored or repressed emotions.

• Physical discomfort (such as neck or shoulder tension) can signal unprocessed emotions.

• Journaling and breathwork help identify and release emotional patterns.

• The Hawaiian practice Ho'oponopono was introduced as a tool for emotional release:

• • I'm sorry

  • Please forgive me

  • Thank you

  • I love you

• Ho'oponopono may be directed toward oneself, others, or a higher power.

• Gentle movement supports emotional regulation and healing.

• Practices highlighted:

• • Qigong

  • Tai Chi

  • Restorative yoga

  • Mindful walking

• Simple movements demonstrated included shoulder rolls, neck stretches, and slow, intentional movement paired with breath.

• Returning awareness to the body can create an immediate calming effect.

• Mindful chewing (30–50 chews per bite) supports digestion and may reduce anxiety.

• Grounding practices include engaging the senses and focusing on physical awareness.

• Small, consistent practices are more sustainable than drastic lifestyle changes.

• Sleep support tools discussed:

• • Breathwork

  • Aromatherapy

  • Creating a mental "safe space" for worries

• Positive reinforcement and incremental change help create long-term success.
