You know you should exercise your body for better health, but do you exercise your Vagus Nerve for less stress? We’re taking a look at what the Vagus Nerve (aka Vagal Nerves, because it divides to run along 2 tracks through your body) does for us and how we can restore balance by activating the Parasympathetic Nervous system to move from “Fight or Flight” to “Rest and Digest”.

In this episode we explore

• How we perceive stress (enhancing vs debilitating)
• Biological effects of stress
• General stress balancing recommendations
• Physical actions of the Vagus Nerve on your body
• Different methods of engaging and activating the Vagus Nerve, from cold water to walking in nature

Follow along and experience these activities to stimulate and tone your Vagus Nerve:

• The Psychological Sigh
• The Basic Exercise (for Optic Nerve stimulation)
• Gentle Ear Canal Stimulation
• Concha Ear Massage
