Promoting a Culture of Self-Care

There is no Community without Healing

Awaken Genius helps parents feel calmer and more in control of themselves and their families. In this series of downloadable videos, our wellbeing officer and therapist, Saran, explains how stress works in the body and how you can ease it using simple, science-backed tools.

Welcome

What You'll Learn in These Videos:

• The vagus nerve – a long nerve in your body that helps calm your heart rate, breathing, and digestion when you're stressed. It's like a “reset button” that helps you feel safe and relaxed.

• The autonomic nervous system – your body’s built-in system that controls how you respond to stress or danger (like a smoke alarm), and how you return to calm afterward.

• EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) – a method where you gently tap on certain points on your face and body to reduce stress and help you feel more in control.

• Neuroplastic movements – slow, simple movements that help your brain and body connect better, making it easier to calm down and feel grounded.

• Nervous system regulation – using these tools regularly helps your body shift from “fight or flight” mode into a more relaxed, peaceful state.
Each short video includes an explanation and a practical exercise you can try right away — and they’re all downloadable, so you can watch them anytime. These tools are great for parents to use on their own or with their children. When you feel better, your whole family benefits.
