This is Rasa Lukashyuta.
Welcome to your guided meditation.
This guided meditation was designed to help you connect and reset your vagus nerve.
This guided practice will boost your immune system,
Reconnect your body and brain and increase feelings of well-being and calmness.
The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex nerve in the human body.
It extends from the brain stem down to the chest and the abdomen to the pelvis.
It controls many important functions including heart rate,
Digestion and immune responses.
It also activates our parasympathetic nervous system and our ability to rest,
Digest and repair.
A healthy and balanced vagus nerve provides a sense of safety and calmness in social interactions and within our own body.
When the vagal tone is low,
It is associated with inflammation and digestive issues,
Anxiety or depression,
Heart problems,
Brain fog and memory issues or even prolonged sense of loneliness.
During this meditation,
We will focus on the body,
Inner energy,
The breath,
The path of the vagus nerve to help activate and stimulate it to promote healing and relaxation.
Now,
Find a comfortable position where you can sit or lie down comfortably.
Make sure that you have no distractions around you and that you can stay in this space for the duration of the guided meditation.
If you wish,
You can use this meditation at night for deep relaxation and an overnight repair as you drift off to sleep following the vagus nerve activation and healing practice.
Allow yourself to begin to drift off in a state of deep relaxation knowing that you are safe and supported.
Breathe slightly deeper and a little slower.
Feel your body becoming more and more relaxed.
As you breathe in,
Feel the breath move down into your belly.
Let your belly expand as you breathe in deeply.
As you breathe out,
Feel your body release any tension that you may be holding onto.
Repeat this way a few more times,
Feeling your body become more and more relaxed.
Now,
Focus your attention on your heart.
Feel the way your heart beats.
Feel the sensation of your heart pumping blood through your body.
Focus to feel the sensation of your heart beating in your chest.
Now imagine that your heart is sending a wave of energy down through your whole body.
As this wave of energy flows through your body,
It also begins to gently awaken the vagus nerve from its top at the cranium,
Your skull.
Feeling down your face,
Your neck,
Your chest and your upper body.
Feel the wave of energy from your heart flow through your body following the path of the vagus nerve down into your stomach.
