FAQ

1. What is somatic regulation?

Somatic regulation is the process of physically downshifting your nervous system out of a stress response (fight-or-flight) and back into a state of safety. Unlike traditional mindset shifts, somatic regulation uses physical tools—like weighted anchors or botanical oils—to communicate directly with the body's primary stress pathways.

2. How does the OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil work?

The Vagus Nerve Oil is a botanical oil designed to soothe the body’s longest cranial nerve. By applying the oil and performing a gentle massage, you provide the nervous system with sensory signals of safety, helping to lower heart rate and promote a state of deep regulation.

3. What are the three stages of the Frame framework?

Frame is built on a three-stage somatic cycle: Awareness (noticing the state of your nervous system), Regulation (using physical instruments to return to safety), and Integration (ritually anchoring your new frequency into your daily life).

4. Can I use these tools if I am new to somatic work?

Yes. Every instrument at Frame is chosen for its ease of use. Tools like the Nodpod or Hack Your Nervous System cards require no prior training; they are designed to provide immediate, tangible feedback to your body from the first use.

5. How do weighted somatic anchors help with anxiety?

Weighted anchors, such as the Nodpod, provide "Deep Pressure Touch," which triggers the release of serotonin and tells the nervous system it is safe to rest. This is a physical override for the psychological experience of anxiety.
