Have you ever heard of the vagus nerve?
The nerve runs from the brain through the neck and chest into the abdomen, acting as a crucial communicator between the mind and body.
It regulates involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, breathing, immune responses, and mood while also playing a key role in the gut-brain axis.
It counteracts the "fight or flight" response, helping the body calm down, reduce heart rate, and relax.
One of the most effective ways to stimulate the vagus nerve?
Singing or humming.
How to make this effort most powerful?
Sing, or hum, hymns and scripture songs. Words of hope, faith, and trust put to music provide a peace that passes all understanding.
