In Soothe, Restoring your nervous system from stress, anxiety, burnout, and trauma, Nahid de Belgeonne writes your body is continually negotiating its relationship to gravity, always in motion, as you subconsciously try to find your balance and equilibrium. The whole body is a web of interconnections and rhythms, from the electrical frequency of brain waves to the flow of blood, the pulsing of cells, the chemical responses of hormones, the release of synovial fluid in the joints, and the slow movement of lymph as it carries waste out. Moving and tending to the body enables function in an optimum way.
