The Diver's Reflex 

​

Regarding my own Trauma experiences and during my worst PTSD state and symptoms, I
was innately drawn to learn scuba diving and although I'd always loved being around water
(on it, in it, under it) I never truly understood why. And then I learnt about the DIVER'S REFLEX/RESPONSE.....
As human beings, we are hardwired for self-preservation, through our nervous system.
When this system thinks we’re in danger, it kicks into gear to help us survive. But sometimes
our body’s physiological “gas pedal” gets stuck against the floor, and we find our brains
“stalling”, growing more anxious, fearful and irritable and for some, this can result in full-
blown panic attacks. However, by intervening with the diver’s reflex (consisting of a set of
reflexes that are activated when our face is cooled) you may be able to return to a resting
state – allowing you to feel cooler both physically and emotionally.
All is explained and demonstrated here in a very short video clip....
