Today we are going to focus on the Vagus Nerve. Why does the meditation and yoga community want you to stimulate this Vagus Nerve? Well, because it also is the nerve that will send the signal to the body that it can rest into relaxation and let go of feeling stressed. It is the nerve that takes you from being in the sympathetic nervous system where we are in fight or flight mode and into the parasympathetic nervous system where we can rest and digest. This is the state that we want to be in the majority of the time but life can have other ideas and many of us spend way too much time in the stress zone rather than the relaxed one.

We want to improve our “vagal tone” so that we can more easily and swiftly move back into our parasympathetic nervous system, we are more able to regulate our nervous system and adapt to challenges less reactively.

In this meditation I offer you three tools for stimulating and soothing the Vagus Nerve and hopefully you can take these simple and easy techniques into your life to use when needed.
