EP 442: The Vagus Nerve and how it can Affect Your Well-Being

In today’s episode, I talk about this amazing nerve we have in our body called the Vagus Nerve. Believe it or not, The Vagus Nerve has nothing at all to do with how you feel at a blackjack table! It’s actually the longest nerve in your body, starting at the base of your brain and wrapping around all the vital organs below your pelvis. The Vagus Nerve connects the three ‘Minds’ of our bodies: The Brain, The Heart, and The Gut; and it is responsible for a vast array of health benefits or detriments, depending on the vagal tone. I offer several modalities to increase your vagal tone, but my favorite, by far, is Lovingkindness and Compassion practices. For a copy of the lovingkindness practice I review in today’s episode, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll send it right over to you.
