That Stuck, Numb Feeling Has Nothing to Do With Willpower

📲 Book a call with me 👉 https://tinyurl.com/satvarajastamas Stop Overthinking: Use Yoga to Regulate Anxiety In this video, I explain why trying to think your way out of anxiety often doesn’t work and how working with your nervous system through yoga can shift you from chaos to clarity. I break down the three gunas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—and map them to the Western concept of the window of tolerance. I describe rajas as hyperarousal (fight-or-flight) with racing thoughts, danger-scanning, and physical symptoms like stomach upset or waking at 3 AM, and I share ways to soothe it with grounding practices like shavasana, slow chanting, longer exhales, and avoiding fast, heating vinyasa in favor of seated and closing sequences. I also cover tamas as hypoarousal (freeze) with numbness, heaviness, procrastination, scrolling, isolation, and fatigue, and explain why gentle activation—movement, sun salutations, and faster breathing like kapalabhati—can help. I emphasize that the goal is returning to sattva by stabilizing the system first, expanding capacity through regulation and neuroplasticity, and choosing the right tool based on whether you arrive on the mat in rajas or tamas. 00:00 Why You Can’t Think Your Way Out of Anxiety (It’s in the Body) 01:24 Meet Ishita + The Yoga Lens: Gunas & the Window of Tolerance 02:22 The Goal State: Sattva—Calm, Capacity, and Regulation 03:46 Rajas (Fight-or-Flight): Signs You’re in Hyperarousal 05:04 How to Soothe Rajas: Grounding, Breathwork, and Calming Asana Choices 06:12 Tamas (Freeze): The Sneaky Low-Energy Shutdown State 07:38 How to Activate Tamas: Gentle Movement, Faster Breath, Jumpstart the System 08:48 Back to Sattva: Expand Your Window of Tolerance (Neuroplasticity) 10:01 Your Practice Challenge: Assess Your State and Choose the Right Tools 10:54 Wrap-Up
