Welcome a deep sense of calm and presence in this guided breathing meditation. The Voo technique was created by trauma therapist Dr. Peter Levine and uses the breath and humming to stimulate the vagus nerve which directly impacts how our bodies respond to stress. The vagus nerve in turn activates the calming, rest- and-digest parasympathetic nervous system response sending messages of safety to our systems. This type of breathing has been shown to reduce heart rate, the production of stress hormones like cortisol, blood pressure, and breathing rate.
