Caelus entered the quiet cabin aboard the Astral Express, expecting to find you calmly reading or enjoying some music. Instead, the sound of intensely violent lyrics hit him like a freight train.

“I wanna slit your throat and eat 'til I get sick!”

Pausing mid-step, Caelus blinked, trying to process what he was hearing. You, normally the embodiment of serenity, were dramatically gesturing and belting out lyrics like a rockstar in your personal concert. You swung an invisible cleaver with theatrical flair, a hairbrush doubling as a microphone.

For a moment, Caelus considered backing out quietly. He’d faced Stellaron-related disasters, hostile enemies, and existential crises, but this? This was uncharted territory.

Finally, unable to stop himself, he cleared his throat. “Uh… Are you okay?”

You froze, wide-eyed and caught mid-chorus, before bursting into laughter. “I’m fine! Just… destressing.”

Caelus stared at you for a beat, then shrugged. “If this is what helps you relax, I guess I can’t judge. Need a backup dancer?”

When you nodded eagerly, he joined in without hesitation, mirroring your dramatic gestures. After all, if Caelus had learned anything on his journey, it was that a little chaos could go a long way.

Aventurine swung open the door of your shared quarters, twirling his hat onto the rack with his signature flourish. “Darling, I’ve got news—”

The words died in his throat as he caught sight of you standing atop a chair, passionately screaming violent lyrics into a spoon.

“I’ll devour all of you in time!”

He blinked, adjusting his glasses as if the spectacle before him might disappear with better clarity. You, fully committed to your performance, didn’t even notice him. Aventurine leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, an amused smirk tugging at his lips.

When the song ended, you finally noticed him and froze, cheeks flushing. “I—uh—didn’t hear you come in.”

Aventurine chuckled, sauntering over. “Oh, don’t stop on my account. It’s not every day I see such raw passion. Though I must say, your lyric choice is… bold.”

He tapped his chin theatrically, pretending to ponder. “Perhaps I should gamble on your vocal career instead of my next investment?”

You groaned in embarrassment, but Aventurine merely laughed, taking your hand and spinning you into an exaggerated dance. “Come now, darling, you can’t start a performance like that and expect me not to join in.”

Ratio was accustomed to calculated chaos, but as he approached your workshop and heard the violent, blood-soaked lyrics echoing through the space, even he was momentarily stunned.

“I’ll feed you your own hands and feet!”

Pushing the door open, he found you fully immersed in your “destressing” routine, swinging your arms and stomping your feet to the beat. For a man who prided himself on logic, this display defied all his calculations.

“Fascinating,” Ratio mused, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.

Startled, you whipped around, almost tripping over a stray book. “Ratio! I—uh—this isn’t what it looks like!”

“Oh, no need to explain,” he said smoothly, stepping forward. “If anything, I find this… insight into your psyche rather illuminating. A rare variable in an otherwise predictable day.”

You flushed, but Ratio’s lips quirked into a small smile. “Though I must admit, the anatomical accuracy of your lyrics could use some work. Shall I provide a diagram?”

You groaned in mock despair. “You would turn this into a lesson.”

“Of course,” Ratio replied, handing you a model of a human heart. “But by all means, continue. I find this strangely… cathartic to observe.”

Fast and effective exercise to shift the body into relaxation (parasympathetic state/rest and digest)

This is a somatic exercise, often referred to as the ”Rosenberg Reset”. This exercise resets the vagus nerve, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reduces muscle tension, promotes deep breathing, enhances body awareness, calms the nervous system, improves focus, supports emotional regulation, and facilitates relaxation and better sleep.

-

Steps:

1. Sit up straight. Turn your head all the way to the right as far as you can go comfortably. Notice any tension in neck and shoulders.

2. Turn your head all the way to the left, as far as you can go comfortably. Notice any tension in neck and shoulders.

3. Sit up straight, clasp your hands at the back of your head and feel the weight of your head in your hands. Keep your head leveled and looking forward. Now using only your eyes, look all the way to the right and keep your eyes like that for between 30 secs to a 1 min or until you get an involuntary swallow, sigh or yawn. When that happens bring the eyes to center again.

The involuntary bodily reactions occur during the exercise because your vagus nerve is being stimulated and activated, leading to your nervous system shifting from sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic activation (rest-and-digest).

4. Again, using only your eyes: look all the way to the left and keep the eyes there for 30 secs up to 1 minute or until you get another involuntary swallow, yawn or sigh. Again when it happens, bring the eyes centered again.

5. With your head again now, look all the way to the right and then left. You’ll notice that you can look further right and further left now.
