Informed by polyvagal theory, these exercises focus on creating a sense of calm, vitality, and connection-inspiring a deeper feeling of safety while activating the bodys natural ability to restore balance.The vagus nerve, often called the "soul nerve," plays a special role in our autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS regulates many bodily processes, including our stress response. When we encounter an external threat, our stress response kicks in, triggering a cascade of physiological changes to help us adapt and protect ourselves. Like a helpful friend, the vagus nerve steps in to restore balance. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects, promotes relaxation, and supports immune system regulation. With the exercises in Vagus Nerve Deck, youll learn to harness this power and foster resilience in the face of life's challenges. Inside this deck you will find:EXERCISES FOR CALM, VITALITY, CONNECTION.
