Introduction: Welcome to the 10-Day Nervous System Awareness Challenge!
Throughout the day, notice which of the five channels you’re in and consider the following:
Can I pause?
Can I track (name and Identitfy which channel I am in most)?
Can I feel into it with curiosity?
Can I name which channel is dominant in that moment?
To recap, the five channels are:
Cognitive (conceptual thought)
Emotional (felt emotion or story about feeling)
Inner Sensation (internal body awareness)
Sensory (input from the external world)
Impulse (movement or energetic urge)
These practices are cumulative—each day builds upon the last.
Day One Practice: The Channels of Being
Yesterday we explored tracking the five channels—the pathways through which we notice what’s happening inside us. Today, we’re building on that foundation by focusing on the power of self-attunement.
The key is bringing our loving awareness to ourselves. When we bring consciousness to our impulses, we can respond from choice rather than habit. Here’s a helpful distinction:
•Impulse is the body’s natural movement toward comfort, safety, or expression. •Compulsion is when we unconsciously act to soothe anxiety or discomfort.
Noticing patterns: How much of your attention is going outward? How much is focused inward 50% 30% 20%???? Where does your attention live in the 5 channels--do you notice any patterns, habits, or cycles?
Can you notice when or how often you leave your inner world to attend to other's needs, your story about what is happening vs. felt experience, to fulfill a role?
Day Two Practice: Self-Attunement

Day Three Practice: Meeting and Repairing Unmet Needs
Today, you are invited on a journey of fine tuning your relationship to your own awareness--to reflect on how you hold yourself unconsciously, often perhaps, withour even noticing.
This will give you a better snap shot of your nervous system patterns, and how they shape how you interact with others and life.
1.) How does your body move through space :
Do you defuse energy: are you erratic? Uncontrolled? Ungrounded and unpredictable? Emotionally volatile?
Do you contract energy: do you move anxiously, unsure, twitchy, constantly checking for other approval?
Do you move energy thru the mind: Do you overanalyze, intellectualize or rely on the words you learned in that puja to mask your emptiness and insecurity?
2.) How do you speak to yourself?
Critically? Judgementally? Like your weak or wrong, or less than others? Or do you repress yourself in a misguided attempt to make others feel comfortable? Do you make yourself a dull or perform in order to distract others from your perceived flaws or self-judgments?
Do you interact with others with covert expectations? Or does your mind and energy have an end in mind and is playing reverse chess in order to wind up where you think you must?
All of these strategies are a form of control, which get in the way of authentic self-connection and connection with others.
