Vagus Nerve: Best Defense Against Stress

Our best defense to manage stress is to learn to stimulate the vagus nerve which we will do in this track as we move along the path of the vagus nerve from the head to the belly. The stimulation at the neck is inspired from the holistic healing work of psychiatrist Sam Zand, founder of The Anywhere Clinic. We will also engage the Tranquility Breath Practice to stimulate the vagus nerve as it moves into the diaphragm and belly. These practices will empower you to self-regulate your body when you are feeling off balance. The background music is from Music of Wisdom.

A useful mix of teaching a technique and breathing practice

Thank u so much Christine. This has helped me so much.

Thank you dear. It Help lifting up the brain and with overal tranquility.

I absolutely loved this practice and will recommend it to my fellow patients and friends with jugular venous outflow disturbance, often due to compression that includes the vagus nerve by C1, the digastric, or SCM. As someone who has had bilateral IJV, facial, and vagal nerve decompression and as a neurocritical care nurse practitioner, I found this practice safe for me in my post-operative state (3 months out from last), and also feel it would have been very suitable for me prior to surgical decompression. I had not yet learned to use holistic tools early in my journey, and encourage my fellow patients and colleagues to include them in their tool box, as they are practices we can mindfully do each day to improve our quality of life. In doing so, we may find relief that can lessen the need for more invasive, though sometimes necessary surgical procedures. I am grateful for all of my tools, teachers, helpers, and surgeons. Thank you again Christie.

Thank you for another relaxing vagus nerve practice. Perfect at bedtime 🙏🏻
