Here is one biblically rooted, nervous system practice that many Christian women overlook on their holistic health journey:

Lamenting.

Lamenting is a heartfelt expression that allows us to pour out our felt sense of pain, grief, and anguish + find relief.

Childhood trauma is real and impacts us in many ways, however, is is something to consider in light of the Biblical lens…

Understanding my God designed nervous system helped me to break up with feminism, embrace Biblical femininity, and heal from burn out.

Here is why:

Many women like me struggle to be “physically still.” This is because being physically still sometimes sends a message of unsafety to our bodies.

This can be due to past life experiences + perceptions. It can be due to mineral depletion. It can be due to a nervous system stuck in sympathetic mode or a whole host of other things can be at play.

So when we neglect this truth and then open our Bibles and read the words, “Be still and know that I am God,” it can be tempting to feel like we are failing at Christianity when we can’t physically sit still.

But here’s a truth that set me free and I hope it sets you free too.

It’s a truth written in your physiology + in biblical principles in scripture…
