Abstract
“When we are relaxed and happy, there is a gentle rhythm back and forth between the two branches [of the nervous system], undulating between automatic charge and discharge, and between arousal and relaxation. This gentle rhythm gives us a sense of well-being and success in managing our lives.” - Gina Ross, Beyond the Trauma Vortex, Into the Healing Vortex. Living with ease doesn’t mean sleeping late every day, becoming a beach bum, or forgetting the responsibilities.

If over-relaxed on a regular basis that will slump into sleepiness or inertia. If being too alert, is felt wound up and ready to snap. Everyday life, daily life or routine life comprises the ease living the ways in which people typically act, think, and feel on a daily basis.

Every individual varies in terms of the amount of stimulation he or she needs, wants, or can tolerate. The same goes for relaxation. Living with ease means finding one’s own sweet spot, which blends a good mix of serenity with a sense of being awake in the world.
