The Neuroscience of Loops: Calm Is a Skill
Research shows that knitting or crocheting can reduce your heart rate by up to 11 beats per minute and activate the brain. That’s not a hobby - that’s regulated nervous system activity.
Each stitch activates the parasympathetic response: your body’s natural calm mode. The mind slows. The breath deepens. You drop into presence.
This is mindfulness with form. Rhythm with purpose.
