Stimulate The Vagus Nerve to Restore Calm

The vagus nerve is the central nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system and is responsible for digestion, heart rate, respiratory rate, and stress response. When this nerve is overwhelmed or stressed, it becomes difficult for us to manage anxiety and triggers.

We invite you to try this exercise next time you are feeling overwhelmed, triggered, or anxious. By engaging in this quick exercise, you can activate the vagus nerve and gently guide your nervous system back toward a state of calm and balance.
