Hack Your Nervous System Card Deck

Meet your everyday “cheat code” for calm. Hack Your Nervous System (HYNS) is a card deck created by a licensed mental health counselor and organized through the lens of Polyvagal Theory to help you notice your state and choose practices that support regulation, safety, and ease.

Inside you’ll find 60 evidence-based mind-body techniques drawn from Yoga, Qi Gong, Buddhism, Eastern Medicine, and contemporary Somatic Therapy—translated into quick, accessible prompts you can use at home, at work, or on the go. Pick a card when you need to reset, or build a small daily ritual to strengthen your resilience over time.
