A Regulated Nervous System: An Orientation by Jo-Ann Rosen | #11

This video orientation available on the free Plum Village App https://plumvillage.app/ is offered by Dharma Teacher Jo-Ann Rosen.
-------
Human beings can experience many different emotions. We can be angry or depressed. Joyful, or sad. Irritated or jealous, etcetera. All emotions can be experienced in our body, through bodily sensations.

In this video, long time mindfulness practitioner Jo-Ann Rosen gives an orientation on how our brain, our nervous system and our body work together in an intricate way. She shows that it is important for us to stay within certain boundaries of practice (right effort), so that we are no longer hijacked by our nervous system, losing control over our emotions. She calls this safe space the window of mindfulness. When we are mindful we can experience a certain amount of peace and calm, regardless of the (strong) emotion we are experiencing.

We hope this orientation supports you in your practice at home, or with your sangha.

Enjoy your practice!
