Join me in a reading of the classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore first written in 1823.  This story was the inspiration for the modern-day image of Santa Claus.  Some of the words are outdated, but it remains a charming tale enjoyed by children during the Christmas season.

In Episode 73 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore the intersection between emotional regulation and conversational fluency through the lens of the sacral chakra. Drawing from both neuroscience and yogic philosophy, this episode demonstrates how breathwork, pelvic awareness, and emotional expression activate the vagus nerve, reducing amygdala hyperactivity and supporting hippocampal memory consolidation—crucial for vocabulary retrieval and confident speaking (Porges, 2011; Lupien et al., 2009). By cultivating awareness of the emotional body through the sacral region, language learners can overcome anxiety, improve expression, and foster greater ease and authenticity in communication.
