The Somatic Reset
A Body-Based Guide to Nervous System Regulation
Your nervous system keeps score. Years of chronic stress, unprocessed tension, and a culture that treats the body as a vehicle for the brain have left millions of adults stuck in a state of perpetual fight-or-flight. The symptoms are familiar: a tight jaw, shallow breathing, insomnia that defies every sleep hack, anxiety that no amount of journaling resolves. The problem is not in your head. It is in your body.
The Somatic Reset is a structured, evidence-based guide to nervous system regulation through body-based practices. Rachel Keene draws on polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing research, and clinical neuroscience to explain exactly how your autonomic nervous system gets dysregulated, then provides a progressive protocol of breathwork, movement, interoception exercises, and co-regulation techniques that restore balance from the ground up.
This is not yoga philosophy or vague mindfulness advice. It is a clinical protocol translated into plain language, with practices you can do in five minutes at your desk or thirty minutes on the floor. If talk therapy and cognitive tools have not been enough, start with the body.
