10 song playlist to soothe your mind, body and nervous system. Music helps regulate the nervous system because it speaks directly to the body, not the thinking mind. Trauma lives below words. Music meets it there. “Regulate & Rest” – A Trauma-Informed Healing Playlist How to use: - Best with headphones or low-volume speakers - No need to listen closely. Let it play in the background. - If emotions come up, that’s normal. The body is releasing, not breaking. 1. Erik Satie – Gymnopédie No. 1 Opening the door to calm This piece slows the nervous system without asking anything from you. It creates safety first — essential for trauma recovery. 2. Claude Debussy – Clair de Lune Softening the body Breathing naturally deepens here. Shoulders often drop. This is where the body starts to feel less guarded. 3. Arvo Pärt – Spiegel im Spiegel Grounding + emotional containment Minimal, repetitive, and steady. Excellent for anxiety, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm. 4. Johann Sebastian Bach – Goldberg Variations (Aria) Stabilization The predictability of Bach’s structure helps settle racing thoughts and looping trauma memories. 5. Max Richter – Dream 3 (from Sleep) Entering deep rest This is where hypervigilance begins to release. Ideal for evening listening or before sleep. 6. Brian Eno – 1/1 (Music for Airports) Regulation without effort Designed to reduce stress. Let this play while resting, journaling, or lying down. 7. Nils Frahm – Says Gentle emotional release Slow build without shock. Often brings a feeling of “I can breathe again.” 8. Chopin – Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9 No. 2 Comfort + reassurance This piece carries warmth and safety, especially for people who associate calm with gentleness rather than silence. 9. Hildegard of Bingen – O vis aeternitatis Primitive safety Vocal tones activate a deep, ancient sense of containment (especially powerful for attachment trauma.) 10. Max Richter – Path 5 (Delta) Closure + Integration Ends the playlist feeling held, not dropped. Perfect for sleep or meditation.

Magnesium helps a dysregulated nervous system because it acts like a natural stabilizer. It slows things down, softens intensity, and helps your body return to a calmer baseline. It calms overactive brain signals. When your nervous system is dysregulated, your brain is often firing too quickly and too intensely. Magnesium helps by supporting GABA, your brain’s main calming chemical and blocking NMDA receptors, which are linked to overstimulation. Think of it like this: your nervous system has a gas pedal (stress) and a brake (calm). Magnesium strengthens the brake, so everything isn’t constantly speeding up. It reduces the stress response. When you are stuck in fight-or-flight, your body is constantly on alert. Magnesium helps lower cortisol (your stress hormone), support the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), relax physical tension in the body. This is why you might feel your body soften, your breathing slows, a subtle “coming down” feeling. It regulates nerve and muscle activity. Your nervous system runs on electrical signals. Magnesium: - Balances calcium (which excites nerves and muscles) - Prevents nerves from firing too easily - Helps muscles relax instead of staying tight Without enough magnesium: - Nerves become more reactive - Muscles stay clenched - Your body feels constantly “on edge” It improves sleep (which is where regulation happens). A dysregulated system often struggles with sleep, either falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting deep rest. Magnesium helps regulate melatonin, relax your body before sleep, improve sleep quality. And sleep is when your nervous system repairs and resets. Stress depletes magnesium. Long-term stress, trauma, caffeine, and even modern diets can lower your magnesium levels. So, if your nervous system is dysregulated, there is a good chance your body needs more magnesium or isn’t holding onto it well. A dysregulated nervous system feels like: - Constant alertness - Tight muscles - Fast thoughts - Shallow breathing - Poor sleep
