Vagus Nerve Reset Meditation

So when you're ready,

Take a moment to get comfortable.

And if possible,

Make sure you're seated for this practice.

Your spine is long,

Shoulders are soft.

And we'll begin just by gently turning your head from side to side.

So slowly looking over one shoulder and turning your head looking over the other.

Just gently move your head from side to side a few times.

Just noticing the movement in the neck.

And bringing your head back to neutral.

Closing the eyes.

And we're going to take four deep breaths.

Inhaling through the nose and taking a big exhale through an open mouth.

So breathing in through the nose.

Big open mouth exhale,

Letting it all go.

Do that three more times.

And with every exhale,

Maybe you can release a little bit more.

Maybe even stick your tongue out a bit.

Really opening up the throat with every exhale.

And closing the mouth once again after that fourth and final breath.

And take your right hand,

Place it on your forehead.

Gently cradling the forehead.

Take your left hand,

Reach it behind your head,

Cradling right at the nape of the neck.

Right where the neck and the skull connect.

Ever so slightly,

Press your hands towards one another,

So light.

But feel that very gentle compression of your hands towards one another.

And releasing your hands and just noticing how you feel in this moment.

Now we're going to do one more breath.

Breath technique is called the bumblebee breath.

And in this breath,

You'll inhale through the nose and keeping your lips closed,

You'll try to hum,

Kind of creating this buzzing like a bumblebee.

So it goes like this.

Exhale all the air out of your lungs.

And inhale,

Filling up through the nose.

Keeping the lips closed,

You'll hum.

Do that three more times.

And if you'd like,

You could even take your hands,

Placing them over your ears to cover the ears to really intensify that vibration.

Doing two more rounds of this bumblebee breath.

And taking a few easy,

Effortless rounds of breath.

And then ending by turning the head from side to side each way.

Once again,

Maybe noticing if it feels a little bit different this time.

Then bringing the head back to neutral.

And opening the eyes and closing your practice.
