Daily regimen for soothing parasympathetic nervous system

[rain]

I read about the parasympathetic nervous system in Steven's book 'Great Pain Deception' and am curious what aspects are involved in it as part of your daily practice.

Here's what I'm working on:
In the morning:
Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=550&v=nBCsFuoFRp8 (Relaxation Response: Dr. Herbert Benson Teaches You The Basics)
Progressive muscular relaxation audio:

Several times a day: 4-7-8 breathing by Andrew Weil

Afternoon:
deep breathing while imagining being in a sunny forest and visualizing the oxygen seeping into parts of body where it hurts on the in-breath and relaxing those muscles on the out-breath.


before going to sleep:
Full body relaxation audio (~20 mins): https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/services_and_facilities/counselling_services/stress_and_your_wellbeing/relaxation_recordings (Relaxation recordings | Western Sydney University)

Thanks.

Looks like a perfect regime to me.. but don't stress if you don't always stick to it regimentally

You're welcome I especially like the progressive muscular relaxation audio.
I also just came across this yesterday on one of the TMS threads: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~healthed/relax/downloads.html (Relaxation Downloads) ; haven't checked it out yet but seems helpful.
