What is the Vagus nerve…
Did you know that the vagus nerve is a key player in shifting your body from fight + flight mode to rest + digest mode? This special nerve helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, paving the way for a calmer, more optimally functioning you.
Activating the vagus nerve regularly is crucial for maintaining its balance + tone, which enhances your ability to handle stress – both mentally and physically. Here's how you can gently stimulate your vagus nerve to unlock a world of peace and wellbeing:
- Singing or humming to your favorite music
- Meditation/prayer
- Exercise
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Cold water immersion
- Deep breathing
- Laugh + connect with others
- Massage
Incorporating these practices can lead you to a state of balance and harmony, reducing stress and enhancing overall wellbeing.
