Welcome to Nerv with Ryan Williams
My life is divided into two life spans: Before Nervous System Regulation (NSR), and After Nervous System Regulation (NSR).
Hi, I am Ryan Williams. My life is divided into two life spans: Before Nervous System Regulation (NSR), and After Nervous System Regulation (NSR).
I hope you are safe and healthy right now. Have you been feeling Twitter burn-out, email marketing fatigue, and Zoom exhaustion? I have. I also got Covid-19 recently - that knocked me out for nearly two weeks. How are you?
I am a writer, Breathworker, teacher, social media marketer, and podcast host. I am a certified as a Breathwork teacher, Yoga Nidra teacher, and meditation instructor. You may be familiar with my first book, "The Influencer Economy," and podcast of a similar name.
After working in stand-up comedy, social media for Disney, Machinima, and many tech startups to help spread their stories, I now use my skills to further my mission: helping people learn how to heal themselves.

What does Breathwork feel like?
In Breathwork you breathe with intention, which helps to calm down the nervous system. Intentional breathing helps to relax, since many of us spend our days breathing in fear, worried about our job security, or even anxious about missing traffic lights. We are burned out, Breathwork retrains us on how to breathe in a more healthy and even fun way.
To practice Breathwork you lay on your back, breathing in a rhythmic breathing pattern. Music is playing in the background, and your goal is to relax your body. You breathe in two deep inhales. First in the belly, then in the chest. Then you exhale it all out.
It goes like this:
Inhale in the chest
Inhale in the belly
Exhale it all out
