This blog is a deep dive into what the nervous system freeze state actually is, why it happens, and how we gently support the nervous system from shutdown into flow, connection, and aliveness again.

This blog is for anyone curious about what Kundalini energy really is, how we work with it at JAX, and how our facilitator training program is helping build safer, more effective healing spaces around the world.

The body remembers everything the mind tried to forget. So let’s talk about the signs your body might be asking for emotional release. And what to do when it’s time to let go.

Co-regulation is what happens when your nervous system comes into contact with another regulated nervous system — and begins to match it. It’s a biological and energetic process, not just an emotional one.

There’s a common belief that if we can just talk about our pain, we’ll heal it. But when it comes to trauma, clarity doesn’t always equal relief. Let’s break down the difference between talk-based therapy and somatic work—and why both can have a place in the healing process.

At JAX, we’ve seen time and time again that healing is not a purely intellectual process. It is somatic. Energetic. Emotional. And if you’ve been holding it in, your nervous system has probably been holding it too. Let’s explore why.

The key to post-retreat support is not to re-create the retreat—it’s to weave the essence of it into your life. That means nervous system support, energetic hygiene, and emotional spaciousness. Here are some of the most effective aftercare practices we recommend.

At JAX, we teach that healing is not a one-off event. It’s a way of living. And in this blog, we’ll explore what retreat integration actually looks like, why your system needs it, and how to carry the essence of somatic healing, spiritual healing, and energy healing with you as you return to daily life.

Whether it’s through shared breath, nervous system co-regulation, or sitting in a circle where someone finally says, "me too" – healing in community activates something deep in our DNA. It reminds us that we are not broken or isolated or too much. We are human.
