Physical well-being and emotional well-being are intimately linked. If we have a headache, it can be difficult to be happy, joyful and interested in connecting with other people. On the other hand, when we have had a sound night's sleep, some exercise and a good meal, we feel on top of things and naturally want to be sociable and active. This connection is well known.
However, not many of us know that a nerve called the vagus helps regulate most of the bodily functions necessary for our health and emotional well-being. This nerve must function properly in order for us to be healthy, feel good emotionally, and interact positively with family, friends and others. Amongst many other benefits, having a massage will activate the vagus nerve and regulate your nervous system.
