Today, I'm releasing a free, curated course called Nervous System Fundamentals 💊

It's designed to teach you the basics of nervous system regulation, Polyvagal Theory, interoception, breathwork + a whole lot more.

haha i had a similar experience. my realisation was that there is infinite beauty in the tiniest fragment of a moment—far too much for the human mind to behold. like if all the beauty in a single moment was all the sand on a beach, maybe we can experience one grain of sand at a time and that's enough to fill us to overflowing with joy/gratitude/awe etc.

@wholebodyprayer How is instruction/guidance different in this context than other contexts?

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

After taking Jonny's course in 2021, I said it felt like I'd "unlocked cheat codes for the game of life."

This video captures that idea perfectly. Such a great intro to the world of nervous system regulation.

[Jonny Miller @jonnym1ller]

We've poured hundreds of hours & $10k+ into this one video to achieve two ambitious goals:

1. Explain why nervous system work really matters
2. Attempt to break the internet ;)

Let's see what happens... 🚀 (please share if it resonates!)

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@the_wilderless I’m keen. Started listening to it a couple months back but fell off the wagon.

@franziskagonder I was aware retreats can be a shock to the nervous system, but some of the stories in the podcast really surprised me — full-on psychosis, hallucinations, and suicide. Intensive meditation shouldn't be taken lightly.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@jonnym1ller Yeah, the (surprisingly often) part is new to me.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@chrisfitchchris Yeah, totally agree. Having just finished the series, I’m disappointed by the lack of depth and exploration of the why/how.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@jonnym1ller I simply wasn't aware of the serious psychological risks of meditation, particularly intensive retreats. Some people on the pod share stories of full-on psychosis, hallucinations, mental breakdown. I feel like this isn't widely known or talked about.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@KyKow Congrats, Kyle! 🤝

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@calnthoughts For sure, I approach the "MSM" with a healthy dose of scepticism, too. I think journos will go after anything that involves "gurus" and seems "cultish".

I'll probably share more thoughts once I've finished the pod.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@calnthoughts Yeah, I thought so too. They recently created a "special investigations team" that covers non-finance stuff.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@khemaridh This is my attempt at explaining it. https://t.co/ZWynI2boeI

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

if you're havin' problems I feel bad for you son, i've got 99 problems and i'm complicit in literally all of them

@KyKow Shining Girls and Undone.

@octagonobsessed A mixture of Dustin v Khabib and Dustin v Oliveira. I think Dustin will have some moments on the feet, but will end up getting submitted.

However, also hoping DP can get it done. What a way to cement his legacy.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@TheREITherapist I like it. Something I've been thinking about a lot is how to balance 'contentment' (the present moment is perfect) and 'ambition' (and yet, I still want more). Any thoughts?

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

I'm so bored of all the "spiritual", self-helpy stuff.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

@TheREITherapist Awesome. Tell me more about 'contentment through failure'.

[Jonathan Carson @jonathancarson_]

Rob doing what Rob does. Just casually inventing a new genre of writing and proceeding to absolutely nail it.
