7- Minute Vagus Nerve Reset

What if one tiny movement, something you already do every day, could help your body feel a little safer, calmer, and more connected?

This 7-min Social Nod practice is a gentle vagus nerve stimulation technique that combines soft eyes, a slight smile, conscious breathing, and small nodding movements to help your body shift out of stress and into a calmer, connected & settled state.

You can practice sitting or standing, with your eyes open, at home, at work, or even around other people without anyone knowing you're doing it.

Use this before meetings, presentations, social situations, stressful conversations, or anytime you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
