The Science of Feeling Safe: Unlocking the Power of the Vagus Nerve with Massage Therapist Salvatore Spatafora

Did you know that your body has a superpower that can actually counterbalance your fight or flight system and can trigger a relaxation response in your body? It is one of the cranial nerves called the Vagus nerve that connects the brain to the body. Without this nerve, our bodies wouldn’t be able to do basic tasks like breathing, and by stimulating it we can receive powerful health benefits and naturally combat stress and anxiety! This week, Lisa, Lee, and Kellie speak with Salvatore Spatafora who discusses the importance of the Vagus nerve and how we can utilize it to bring calmness and peace into our everyday life. Originally a successful architect, Salvatore had an awakening, realizing that he had a larger calling. He transitioned to the Healing Arts as a Massage Therapist, specializing in a visionary approach to Craniosacral Therapy. He is passionate about sharing the importance of Vagal Tone in whole body health. Salvatore contends that the stimulation of the Vagus Nerve is probably one of the most powerful impacts you can have on optimizing not only your physical health, but your mental and emotional health as well. Join us this week as we explore how to shape and mold your reality simply by becoming aware of how to work with your Vagus nerve and access your Vagal tone.
