In a world where our lives and daily rhythms are becoming increasingly
demanding, being able to implement effective techniques to regulate our
stress levels is essential to maintaining a healthy mind and body. The
most significant component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which
regulates our ability to "rest and digest," the vagus nerve is an
information superhighway transmitting information between the brain and
the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many organs. By stimulating
the vagus nerve, you can work with your parasympathetic nervous system
to reduce stress and anxiety, regulate digestion and appetite, moderate
heart rate and blood pressure, and balance systems throughout the body.
Backed up by the latest scientific research, this book will guide you
through more than 100 effective exercises to naturally and gently
stimulate your vagus nerve and in turn help manage anxiety, depression,
inflammation, sleep, and digestive disorders. The simple techniques
include a variety of balance, hearing, sight, breathing, and touch
exercises. By improving the quality of stimulation the vagus nerve
receives, these neuroeffective exercises enable the brain-gut and
brain-heart axes to function more predictably and effectively, providing
a solid foundation for mental health, physical resilience, and
self-healing.
With this comprehensive and accessible guide to natural vagus nerve
stimulation, anyone can apply these powerful self-help techniques and
experience a more balanced and resilient mind and body.
