Renewing the Mind

In Romans, we’re encouraged to renew our minds, but what does
that really mean? Can we just think our way to healing? Today,
Dan and Rachael dive into the fascinating world of mind-body
renewal. 


They discuss how relying solely on our thoughts for healing has
its limitations and propose a more holistic approach that
considers the polyvagal system—a fascinating network that
regulates our nervous system.


Referencing Romans 12:2, they stress the importance of going
beyond just thinking differently, recognizing the deep connection
between our bodies, minds, and spirits. Dan explains the three
stress states of the polyvagal system—ventral vagal, sympathetic
activation, and dorsal vagal shutdown—and how disruptions can
skew our perception of reality and impact our relationships.


You’ll also discover some practical techniques to help regulate
the polyvagal system and clear your mind. By the end of this
episode, we hope you’ll gain a deeper understanding of
renewal—one that embraces not only our thoughts but also our
physical and spiritual well-being.
