The Calm Switch

Discover the hidden powerhouse of your nervous system: the vagus nerve. This three-lesson course teaches you what the vagus nerve is, how it affects your body and mind, the signs of dysregulation, and how to support and optimize it for greater calm, resilience, and overall well-being.

Whether you’re looking to improve your stress response, emotional balance, sleep, or digestive health, understanding your vagus nerve is the first step to creating lasting changes. This course is entirely teaching-focused, giving you clear insights and knowledge you can apply in daily life.

Lección 1: Introduction To The Vagus Nerve - Why It Matters

In this first lesson, we introduce the vagus nerve and explore its central role in the connection between the brain and the body. This lesson explains what the vagus nerve is, where it travels in the body, and why it is so important for physical, emotional, and mental well-being. You’ll learn how the vagus nerve influences stress, digestion, heart rate, mood, and the body’s ability to feel safe and regulated. This lesson lays the foundation for understanding the nervous system and how true well-being begins with internal regulation.

Lección 2: Recognising Nervous System Imbalance

In this lesson, we explore what it looks and feels like when the vagus nerve is underactive or the nervous system is out of balance. You’ll learn how stress, overwhelm, and long-term pressure can affect the body, emotions, and overall sense of safety. This lesson helps you recognise common physical and emotional signs of nervous system dysregulation and understand why these patterns develop, without judgment or self-blame.

Lección 3: Supporting and Optimising Your Nervous System

This final lesson explores how the vagus nerve can be supported and strengthened over time through awareness, lifestyle, and gentle nervous system care. You’ll learn about the conditions that help the nervous system shift into calm and regulation, and what it feels like when the body is able to rest, recover, and respond to life with greater resilience and ease.
