Vagus Nerve Regulation

Hello Community! Welcome to your Daily Nature. Today’s practice is all about regulating the vagus nerve , or the wandering nerve. This nerve is a vital component of our nervous system, its functions support digestion, our heart rate, our stress and mood, immune systems, sensory and more! There are many ways to stimulate the vagus nerve and in this practice we focus on deep intentional breathing with extended exhales. This sends messages to the brain that it’s okay to chill out, to relax,let go. You are safe. 🌙 When to practice: Turn to this practice when you feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or just need to chill. 🧘🏼‍♀️Settling up your meditation Space: *Find a quiet, sacred , comfortable space. * Gather any props for extra support, bolster, Blanket, eye pillow, any accouterments. 📝 After Practice: * Invitation to put pen to paper and journal your experience with a stream of consciousness ( writing whatever comes to you without thinking about it or judging). * You can follow me on IG for all things, meditation, yoga nidra, nature, Ayurveda, herbalism and more @deborah_ellis333Thank you so much for sharing space with me and supporting this podcast.
