๐ข Vagus nerve stimulation is a simple way to build resilience to stress and feel better ..
& we all have the ability to stimulate our Vagus nerve
INTENTIONALLY
it's our superpower
๐๐ฅ๐ช
๐Either WHEN we feel stressed
๐Or / and as a DAILY practice
What happens when used as a tool for stress?
Your body shifts from a predominantly sympathetic state (fight, flight, freeze) to a more balanced state of both sympathetic & parasympathetic state (rest digest repair restore).
If it's that simple
Why isn't everyone doing this ?
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฅGREAT QUESTION ๐ฅ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Because it 'could' be that people's 'Normal' is soooo off balance that they don't recognize what a balanced homeostasis state feels like anymore ??
& that's why they end up seeing people like me to help them find their way back
If you'd like to know this SIMPLE technique here it is :
1. Focus on your breathing โจ๏ธ
Slowing & steadying if possible
2. Imagine that breath now moving
Through the heart area
3. Activate a regenerative FEEL ing
Like gratitude or appreciation
๐๐
some will struggle with this &
(There's a reason for that )
๐ฅPractice as is needed OR as a daily
Practice
& as you stimulate the vagus nerve, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system and helps you generate natural โfeel good chemicalsโ including:
โ๏ธEndorphins
โ๏ธDopamine
โ๏ธOxytocin
Practice this enough (at least 3 mins a day) & you can restore resilience & balance
