Guts

Our guts hold so much more potential than sporting aesthetically pleasing six pack abs. Also known as the second brain or the enteric nervous system, it is filled with a multitude of neurons and neurotransmitters and is thought that 95% of our serotonin is found in the bowels. So many people have trouble releasing tension in this area of the body, they may have been told to hold in their abs to protect their low back or have tried to appear slimmer by sucking it in but for a strong and stable core it needs to be able to be reflexive but it can't be reflexive if it's on all the time. If you want to calm anxiety, stimulate down regulation, unwind physical and emotional tension, improve the depth of your breath and tap into your emotional centre then get on a soft and squishy ball (or a towel) and roll and move and breathe and be amazed at how your physiology changes within minutes.
