Ever find yourself waiting until you’re completely stressed or overwhelmed to take action?

Many of us only think about calming our nervous system once we’re already in crisis mode. But what if, instead, you could start each day with a simple routine that keeps you calm, focused, and centered, no matter what comes your way?

Imagine having a preventative practice that lets you begin each morning grounded and ready. These easy science-backed techniques don’t require much time, and you can start using them today to make space for positive energy, clarity, and a strong sense of calm in your life.

Let’s dive in and explore three powerful practices that will help you feel better and stay balanced every day!
 

Technique 1: EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)

The first healing method I want to share with you is EFT Tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique. If you’ve never tried EFT before, it’s a form of psychological acupressure that involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a negative thought, emotion, or belief.

Now, this may sound a little out there, but EFT is actually supported by a growing body of research. Studies show that tapping on these acupressure points can significantly reduce cortisol levels—the stress hormone—and help calm your nervous system.

When your body is in a calm, balanced state, it’s easier to release limiting beliefs and emotional blocks.

Here’s how you can try it right now:

1. Identify a specific emotion or belief that’s holding you back, such as anxiety or feeling unworthy.

2. Start tapping gently on specific points: the side of your hand, your eyebrows, under your nose, and your collarbone. (I’ll link a resource below if you’re new to this technique and need a guide!)

3. As you tap, say out loud what you’re feeling and then release it. For example, “Even though I feel anxious, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

Why it works: EFT helps release stuck emotions, which allows your energy to flow freely, raising your vibration. This method is incredible for clearing blocks that are holding you back from your highest potential.
 

Technique 2: Breathwork for Emotional Release and Vibrational Shift

The next healing technique is breathwork, which is an incredibly powerful way to shift your emotional state and raise your vibration.

Breathwork involves specific breathing patterns that help regulate your nervous system, release trapped emotions, and create a sense of clarity and balance. Science shows that intentional breathing can reduce stress, improve mood, and even influence brain activity.

One of the most effective techniques is the 4-7-8 Breathing Method—which is also backed by science for its calming and grounding effects. Here’s how you can try it:

1. Inhale through your nose for a count of 4.

2. Hold your breath for a count of 7.

3. Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 8.

Repeat this cycle for at least 4 rounds. This method helps regulate your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and bring you back to the present moment, helping you feel centered and aligned.

Why it works: Breathwork is a fast, effective way to shift out of stress and raise your vibration. It clears emotional blocks by regulating your energy flow and brings a sense of calm and clarity into your life.
 

Technique 3: Heart Coherence Meditation (Backed by the HeartMath Institute)

Finally, let’s talk about Heart Coherence Meditation, which has been heavily researched by the HeartMath Institute. This method focuses on creating a harmonious connection between your heart and brain, leading to greater emotional balance and well-being.

When you’re in a state of heart coherence, your heart rate variability (HRV) becomes more balanced, which in turn helps regulate your emotions, reduce stress, and raise your overall vibration. It’s an incredible way to reset emotionally and energetically, especially if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or out of alignment.

Here’s how to practice heart coherence meditation:

1. Sit in a quiet space and close your eyes. Place one hand on your heart.

2. Take slow, deep breaths, focusing on the feeling of your breath moving in and out of your heart center.

3. As you breathe, bring to mind a feeling of gratitude, love, or compassion. Really feel it in your heart as if it’s happening right now.

4. Continue this practice for at least 5 minutes, allowing your breath and emotions to sync in harmony.

Why it works: Studies show that practicing heart coherence can reduce stress hormones, increase feelings of well-being, and raise your vibration by aligning your heart and mind. It’s a powerful technique to create emotional clarity and attract positive energy into your life.
