Pregnancy amplifies everything. Smell becomes overwhelming in the first trimester. Sound feels louder. Touch becomes either desperately needed or completely unbearable depending on the day and the trimester. The nervous system is already working harder than usual processing the physical changes, the hormonal shifts, the emotional weight of becoming a parent, and it has fewer resources left for filtering the external world.
We could all use a tool to help us navigate this crazy onslaught of nervous system stimulation. Pratyahara gives you a conscious practice to work with that rather than against it.
