Bevor wir denken, reagieren wir. Bevor wir handeln, spüren wir. Das Nervensystem nimmt wahr, bevor der Verstand erklären kann. Es ist unser ursprüngliches Bewusstsein. Die meisten reden über Mindset. Ich lehre das, was davor kommt: deinen Zustand. Weil dein Zustand entscheidet, wie du denkst, fühlst, handelst - und wer du bist. So essenziell wie tägliches Zähneputzen ist die innere Hygiene deines Nervensystems. STATE bietet über 150 kuratierte, körperbasierte Sessions (3–30 Minuten), entwickelt aus wissenschaftlich fundierten Methoden und Protokollen, die dein Nervensystem in seiner natürlichen Selbstregulation unterstützen - als neue Essentials eines kohärent geführten Lebens im Einklang mit deinem Sein: physisch, emotional und mental. Eine gelebte Philosophie, die auf Würde, Rhythmus und Bewusstsein basiert. Hier wird Selbstregulation nicht als Funktion verstanden, sondern als Ästhetik des Seins - als ein kultivierter Umgang mit deinem Nervensystem, deinem Atem und deinem inneren Rhythmus. Die STATE Signature Methode Gedanken, Atem, Emotion und Körper wirken nie getrennt - sie formen gemeinsam das, was wir Leben nennen. Jede Session ist eine intelligent kuratierte Erfahrung - eine Kombination verschiedener Modalitäten und wissenschaftlich fundierter Protokolle, übersetzt in ästhetische Rituale für den Alltag. Für alle, die von Wellness mehr erwarten: mehr Tiefe. Mehr Intelligenz. Die STATE Sessions basieren auf verschiedenen Methoden, die gezielt miteinander kombiniert werden: - Atemarbeit - Vagus Tools - EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) - Humming & Vocal Toning - NSDR (Non-Sleep-Deep-Rest) - Visuelle & Auditive Orientierung - Hypnose & Re-Framing Techniken STATE verbindet Atem, Nervensystemarbeit, somatische Integration und gezielte unterbewusste Prozesse zu einer klaren, wirksamen Praxis. Denn dein Zustand bestimmt dein Leben - mit STATE bestimmst du deinen Zustand. Die App ist über eine monatliche oder jährliche Mitgliedschaft zugänglich. Die Abrechnung erfolgt nach der Registrierung wahlweise – monatlich bzw. jährlich. Eine Kündigung ist jederzeit möglich und wird zum nächsten Abrechnungszeitraum wirksam. -- Datenschutzrichtlinie: https://statethemethod.com/privacy Nutzungsbedingungen: https://statethemethod.com/terms

Nervine is a quiet place to settle your nervous system. Thirty short, voice-guided somatic exercises help you come back into your body when you feel anxious, wired, frozen or simply worn out. Somatic exercises work from the body up: a slow exhale, a low hum, a gentle shake, feet on the floor. Nervine guides you through each one so you can close your eyes and follow along. HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW? Pick what is true in this moment: anxious, wired, frozen, shut down, tired or overwhelmed. Nervine suggests a practice that fits, and you can begin with one tap. 30 SOMATIC EXERCISES IN 7 FAMILIES • Vagal toning: voo sound, humming, gargle, ocean breath, lion's breath • Orienting: room orienting, soft gaze, near and far, slow head turns, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding • Discharge: standing shake, TRE-style leg tremor, pandiculation, wet dog shake • Breath: physiological sigh, extended exhale (4:8), box breath, 4-7-8, diaphragmatic breathing • Grounding: feet on the ground, hand on heart, butterfly tap, body scan • Release: jaw release, face softening, shoulder drops, hip opener • Activation: ear rub, cold water on the face, temple press Every exercise comes with its own hand-drawn botanical illustration and calm, paced voice guidance. FIVE GUIDED PROGRAMS • First Week: a gentle 7-day introduction • Before Sleep Wind-Down: 5 evenings to let the day go • Morning Orientation: 7 mornings to arrive in your body • Vagus Activation: 10 days of vagal toning • Release Stored Tension: 14 days of shaking, stretching and letting go NOTICE THE CHANGE Before and after each session, rate your tension, energy and calm. Nervine shows you the difference, so you learn which practices actually help you. MAKE IT YOURS • Choose the length: 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes • Choose the guidance: full, minimal or off • Ambient soundscapes: rain, stream and birds, or binaural tones • Calming background scenes • A gentle daily reminder WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS We keep this honest. In a study published in Cell Reports Medicine (Balban et al., 2023), five minutes a day of cyclic sighing, a breath with a long exhale, improved mood and lowered breathing rate. A review in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (Zaccaro et al., 2018) linked slow breathing to higher heart-rate variability. Cool water on the face triggers the dive reflex, which slows the heart. Nervine builds its practices around simple mechanisms like these. Nervine is a wellness tool for everyday stress and tension. It is not a medical device and does not replace care from a qualified professional. SUBSCRIPTION Nervine is free to download.
