How It Works

1. Learn

Stress is not a personality flaw—it’s biology. Once you understand your nervous system, you can work with it, not against it. Knowledge reduces shame, builds compassion, and puts you back in the driver’s seat.

You are not your stress.

Stress is something you can regulate.

2. Practice

Theory is great. Practice is better. That’s why our tools are designed to be short, effective, and easy to integrate into your daily routine. (Think: 3 minutes—like brushing your teeth, but for your brain.)

You’re breathing anyway.

Let’s make it conscious.

3. Choose Your Own Adventure

Every nervous system is different. That’s why the kit includes calming, energizing, and balancing techniques, with guidance on when and how to use them. You’ll learn to dose your breath like medicine.

4. Share the Love

Breathwork isn’t just for you—it’s for your family, coworkers, friends, even strangers. Breathing together connects us.

And you’re never alone. When you join the Nervous System First Aid Kit, you become part of People of the Prana—a vibrant community of breathers around the world supporting each other’s practice.

Those who breathe together, stay together.

Does trying new things feel scary?

We’d love to support you and want to share calm breath with you, our most popular practice from the BEAT + BREATH™ Method that teaches you how to create calm on command.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Nervous System First Aid Kit a substitute for therapy?

No. This course is not a replacement for psychotherapy, trauma treatment, or clinical care. It is, however, a powerful adjunct tool that can support your healing process—especially when you’re working with difficult emotions or trauma-related material in therapy.

Think of it as a self-regulation toolkit you can use between sessions, during challenging moments, or whenever you need to ground yourself at home.

Many clients and clinicians use it as a bridge between appointments—to reinforce stability, reduce reactivity, and build somatic awareness over time.

Is this course for beginners?

This course assumes you’re already familiar with the foundational breath practices used in Kundalini Yoga and therapeutic breathwork. It’s best suited for those who are familiar wiith long and deep breathing, and breath of fire.
If you’re brand new to breathwork or feel unsure about the basics, we highly recommend enrolling in our companion course Begin with Breath first, which teaches the essential breathing techniques in a more thorough way. You can also purchase both courses together as a package and save.

What if I’m in burnout and feel like I can’t do anything extra right now?

We get it. This course was designed specifically for people in states of depletion, overwhelm, and burnout.
That’s why every practice is only 3 minutes long.

The goal is not to “fix” or “perform”—it’s to gently reconnect you with your body, your breath, and your natural rhythms. You can do this course at your own pace, one breath at a time. Many of the practices can be adapted to do while you are lying down in bed as well.

What kind of results can I expect?

Many people report feeling more calm, focused, grounded, and emotionally resilient after just a few weeks of regular practice.

Others notice improvements in their sleep, anxiety levels, mood, and ability to manage daily stressors.

This is not a quick fix—but it is a sustainable practice that supports deep nervous system healing over time. Think of it like having a security blanket, you will have tools to go to in times of stress.

Can I share this with my clients, family, or coworkers?

Yes! You’re welcome to share what you’re learning with others.
