- Cultivate interoception, the crucial body-sensing ability

- Breathe to maximise your oxygen intake for improved body function

- Move from your bones for an integrated mind and body

- Understand and use the healing power of touch

- Combine rest with restful action using your circadian and ultradian rhythms

- Nourish your nervous system with food and nature

- Deeply connect with yourself, others and the ground beneath your feet

A freeing and revolutionary approach to bodily tranquility, Soothe will completely change the way you breathe, move and care for your overworked nervous system.
