For many of us, especially those managing chronic illness, energy-limiting conditions or sensory sensitivities, typical nervous system strategies don’t always fit. Approaches that assume availability of time, energy or mental focus can end up feeling like an extra demand rather than support. On low-capacity days, even helpful tools can feel overwhelming.
The Somatic Nervous System Menu is a flexible, capacity-sensitive guide for engaging with different nervous system states. As well as a menu of short somatic practices to explore, for each nervous system state, it offers longer practices. All of the practices have options for higher- and lower-capacity days. There’s no “right” choice, just different starting points you can explore.
