This talk and guided meditation review how to cultivate feelings of security during stressful, unstable periods. The talk spends time discussing the vagus ('wandering') nerve is the most significant nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system. It regulates respiration and heart rate; understanding how to tone the vagus nerve brings about the state of ease and calm we seek in spiritual practice and self-soothing.
