Yoga, often seen as supporting mental and physical health, is perhaps the best practice for delivering a spiritual dimension to health care. And a number of studies link spirituality to better health outcomes. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “Spirituality should be incorporated into care for both serious illness and overall health.”

Love the people with whom you can be yourself and avoid those who want to make you something other than what you are.

Love those you can be completely honest with and who are completely honest with you.
And avoid those who lie, who envy, who do not know how to wash off the darkness before they reach out to you.

Love those who always take time out of the hustle and bustle of life to ask you what kind of weather your soul is singing.

Love the people who feel your outstretched hand before you make the gesture, the ones who know your smiles and tears, the people who know the wrinkles in your soul without judging you, forgiving you without price, giving without pride, tirelessly never by you to the extent of knowingly causing you distress.

Love their sincerity, the light they bring to you, the hidden things of being, the dedication.
Love and respect the freedom of those who love and respect your freedom.
Don't be fooled by the image, go beyond the packaging, the role, the character weaknesses hidden under the veil! Love people who have no flaws in their nature and who remain the same even after you love them!
And rejoice with the gratitude of your soul if you are lucky enough to meet them.~

→Vagus Nerve 101

Your vagus nerve, also called the “wandering nerve,” is the longest nerve in your body.

It begins at the bottom of your brain stem and travels through your body, touching every major organ, and stopping at your abdomen.

Simply put—it’s the pathway between your brain and your body.

Your vagus nerve is a lot like a thermostat… It automatically kicks on to keep everything in perfect balance. And research has shown that the vagus nerve is vital to many of the crucial, yet delicate, processes in the body, including:

👉🏻Blood sugar
👉🏻Blood pressure
👉🏻Inflammation
👉🏻Free radicals
👉🏻Oxygen levels in your blood
👉🏻Stress and calm inducing chemicals

Think of your vagus nerve as your body’s neurochemical “superhighway”—carrying signals between the brain and your vital organs.

One of the most important of these signals determines whether your body goes on high alert or remains calm.

When you’re stressed or frightened, the vagus nerve signals for your sympathetic nervous system to rev into high gear. Think of it as the gas pedal in a car.

This part of your nervous systems heightens your awareness and prepares your body to go into “fight or flight” mode and chemicals like adrenaline course through your body.

When your body is calm, your parasympathetic (or “rest and digest”) system is dominant.

Think of it as the brake pedal on a car. Achieving this state is ideal as it reduces stress, regulates your blood pressure, and slows your heart rate. It also helps the body focus on healing.

Here's a diagram that shows the vagus nerve's path through the body:
