This first phase prepares the body for healing by restoring its most basic needs. Hydration, minerals, breath, and gentle movement form the groundwork for everything that follows.
Phase 1 is about giving the body what it needs before anything else can work properly. When people feel unwell, tired, or out of balance, it’s tempting to look for more advanced solutions straight away. But in practice, the body often can’t respond until the basics are in place. This phase focuses on those fundamentals.
Hydration, minerals, breathing, and gentle physical movement all play a role in helping the nervous system settle and the body feel safe enough to begin repairing. Without these foundations, other strategies often feel ineffective or short-lived.
