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.

soma reset is somatic practice for your nervous system. you can understand exactly why you overthink, over-give, shut down or struggle to say no - and still find your body doing the same thing again and again. understanding happens in the mind; the pattern sits lower down, in a nervous system that learnt something once and was never told it was over. this is a space for that lower part - the descent from knowing into feeling. YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET four programs, thirteen guided days, ten to fifteen minutes each, narrated the whole way through. you name where you are, follow the breath, do the practice and notice what lands. safety and arrival - settle the body enough to notice what's happening without being flooded. your nervous system - learn to read what's going on in you, and what each state is for. triggers & spirals - what sets you off, and how to name what's underneath. capacity - widening your window, at your own pace. each program opens a tool you keep. start with whichever meets you; capacity opens once the first three are done. once a day is open it stays open. MORE PROGRAMS AS THEY LAND the four are where you start, not the whole app. anxiety relief, for the mind that won't stop. sleep recovery, for relearning the descent. first breath, the breath itself taught properly. then doom scroll reset, sacred rage, healing shame, contemplate and endurance - more land regularly. TRAINING, NOT JUST SETTLING calming down is where this starts. capacity is what comes after: how much life you can stay in contact with - the pressure, the intensity and the good things too - and still find your way back to yourself. the app trains that on purpose: you go towards the edge of what you can hold, then practise returning. do it enough and the edge moves. THE SOMA WELLNESS TRACKER change is hard to notice while you're living through it. every four weeks the tracker asks the same six questions about how you meet what happens inside you, then four more for each part of your life you've chosen to watch: mind and emotions, self-worth, relationships and boundaries, body and energy, joy and meaning. no score, ever. it shows you what moved, and offers somewhere to take it next - a practice, a program, or one thing to try this month. A LIBRARY ORGANISED BY WHAT YOU NEED six rooms: ground, relax, rest, energise, connect, release. you don't need to know the name of a technique - only whether you're trying to settle, move something through, or come back to yourself. breath, movement, meditation and sound in each. FOR THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN build your own breath and let the orb count for you. fall asleep to a sound that fades out on its own. draw how it feels when there are no words for it yet. map what sets you off, or catch a glimmer. WITH YOUR FAMILY practices you do together - you settle first, then they borrow it. co-regulation for the morning rush, the after-school unravelling and before sleep. FOR THE CAR somatic practices made for driving, on carplay. hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, something steadying for the commute or the drive home. LIVE CLASSES EVERY WEEK a live breathwork and somatic class with saddy over zoom each week, done together. book from inside the app. LEARN, IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT short reads on why the body is the way in, the states you move through, and how capacity is trained - there if you want it. ASK SADDY a guide inside the app that knows every practice in it. tell it how you're feeling and it opens the right door. soma reset is a subscription, billed monthly or yearly, with seven days free. it's somatic education and self-practice, not therapy, medical care or a crisis service. some breath and movement practices won't suit everyone - stay within your capacity and check with a health professional if unsure. if you're in danger or in crisis, contact your local emergency number. terms of use: https://somareset.saddybabu.com/terms privacy policy: https://somareset.saddybabu.com/privacy
