Why Is the Vagus Nerve Important?

Because information flows both to and from the brain via vagal pathways, the vagus nerve can be thought of as a major mind-body highway. The many branches of the vagus nerve are increasingly seen as pathways for promoting or restoring health and ameliorating the physiologic unease that gives rise to anxiety and other negative mental states.

Our bodies are so skilled at protecting us. When we are injured or stressed in some way we will often tighten in response, and long after any physical or emotional recovery this tightness can remain, even if we're not completely aware of it. Emotions that have negative connotations can especially get trapped in the body as we're often taught its not "good" to express these. Over time this can lead to illness and disease.
Craniosacral therapy is an excellent healing modality which encourages the body to release these holding patterns that hide beneath the surface.

I'm also looking forward to reaching more and more gorgeous humans, and asking the above question through the wonder that is craniosacral therapy. How are YOU really? Love xx

Do you know about the Vagus Nerve? "Craniosacral therapy shifts the central nervous system away from hyperarousal to a relaxed state where tensions can be released and the body’s natural healing abilities take over."

Perhaps the most surprising root cause of chronic health conditions that seem unexplainable in origin is poor vagal tone, a term referencing the health of the little known vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a long cranial nerve extending from the brainstem, through the neck, winding downward and branch...

The suboccipital muscles are such a common area of tightness, often contributing to neck pain and migraines. Lots of important nerves run through this area too, so tightness here can impinge on how they flow and function. Craniosacral therapy helps these muscles to gently soften, often providing profound relief on many different levels. See post and video below ⏬️
