Somatic Exercises To Alleviate Dizziness | 16 Minutes
Показать описание
Welcome to Day 10 of Somatic Kickstart, my transformative 30-day series designed to enhance nervous system regulation and improve your overall well-being. In today's guided somatic routine, we are focusing on alleviating dizziness. Dizziness is a complex and often unsettling sensation that impacts millions of individuals worldwide. It can manifest as lightheadedness, vertigo, or a sense of unsteadiness, potentially stemming from issues within the nervous system, vestibular system, or circulatory mechanisms.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND DIZZINESS
Dizziness can arise from various factors, such as inner ear imbalances, cervical spine misalignment, or autonomic nervous system dysregulation. At its core, dizziness frequently involves a mismatch of sensory input between the vestibular system (responsible for balance), proprioceptive cues (body position awareness), and visual signals. When these systems fail to synchronize, the brain struggles to interpret the body's position in space, leading to the sensation of dizziness.
HOW NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION ALLEVIATES DIZZINESS
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a critical role in maintaining balance and stability. It has two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which governs the fight-or-flight response, and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), responsible for rest and relaxation. Dizziness often correlates with excessive SNS activation, causing tension, shallow breathing, and circulatory challenges. By engaging the PNS, nervous system regulation techniques calm the body's stress response and enhance stability.
SOMATIC EXERCISES
1) Neck Rolls: Gentle neck rolls increase blood flow to the brain and alleviate tension in the cervical spine. By enhancing spatial awareness and calming the nervous system, this exercise helps mitigate dizziness linked to muscular tightness or circulatory restrictions.
2) Tapping: Tapping on the chest and abdomen activates the vagus nerve, which is crucial for regulating the PNS. This rhythmic stimulation reduces cortisol levels, promotes relaxation, and enhances proprioception, which stabilizes the body's spatial orientation and diminishes dizziness.
3) Sternocleidomastoid Massage: Massaging the sternocleidomastoid muscle improves circulation and hydrates fascia, the connective tissue surrounding the muscle. This practice reduces nerve compression and enhances blood flow, addressing one of the root causes of dizziness.
4) 2-8 Breathing; This breathing pattern stabilizes the autonomic nervous system by extending the exhalation phase, activating the PNS, and improving oxygen delivery to the brain. Proper oxygenation and balanced CO2 levels are critical for reducing lightheadedness and promoting nervous system stability.
5) Neck Stretch: Targeting the proprioceptors in the neck through gentle tilts and stretches improves the vestibular system's alignment. This exercise also relieves tightness in the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, supporting better communication between the brain and the inner ear, where balance regulation occurs.

Whether you’re new to somatics or looking to deepen your practice, this guided somatic practice offers a gentle introduction to connecting with your body, mind and soul. Don’t forget to like, comment, and share your experience.
Reminder: If you sigh, yawn, shiver, swallow or have an emotional release, this is a sign your nervous system is starting to regulate and feel safer.
