ENS MASSAGE

interoception
3 MINUTES

Massage the Enteric Nervous System to increase interoception.

Exercise Instructions

Gently massage your belly in circles, starting at the belly button and expanding outward, focusing on the sensation and rhythm.

How This Somatic Exercise Works

The Enteric Nervous System, often called the 'second brain', controls digestion and impacts mood. Massaging it can stimulate nerve endings, improving gut-brain communication and reducing stress.

Tips For This Exercise

Start by massaging the center of your belly in slow, circular motions.

Gradually expand your massage outward, keeping your touch steady and rhythmic.
