About this episode
Are you ready for a quick mood boost?
Havening touch has been shown to create Delta waves in the brain that stimulate the release of your brain’s happiness chemicals: dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, so it’s a lovely technique to use when you need a quick mood boost!
This Havening exercise also has a regulating effect on your nervous system.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: learning to regulate your nervous system is the ultimate happiness hack!
Without us even realizing it, our nervous system state massively affects every aspect of our wellbeing - from our energy levels and motivations - to our immune, digestive and endocrine systems - to our perceptions, moods and emotions.
So, if you want to pave the way to a more harmonious, happy, and grounded life, nervous system regulation is foundationally important. We just can’t be our best selves when we’re consistently dysregulated.
Try this self-havening exercise to boost your mood and regulate your nervous system now!
