Using Scripture and Meditation to Calm the Nervous System
TED Talk Format (15 minutes)
Even though God reminds us it is counter kingdom culture to live in a nervous and stress-out state, many of us have unknowingly trained our bodies to operate in this mode. Thus, flipping the switch to enter a peaceful time of scripture meditation is not as simple as picking up a bible and forcing ourselves to meditate on scripture. Instead, it requires a focused effort and understanding of how to flip off the “high-alert” switch in the nervous system so it is possible to enter the promised rest God says He has ready and waiting for anyone who wants it. In this short talk, Peggy Ployhar, the Founder & CEO of SPED Homeschool and recent cancer survivor, will share nervous system calming scripture meditation strategies based on biblical principles and medical research that reveal how God designed our bodies, minds, and souls to most effectively enter His rest no matter what.
