7 MINUTE VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION: NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET

本站添加: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Welcome. Today, we're going to do a release of the nervous system using the vagus nerve to reset everything. Your vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that starts in the brain and wanders through the body and goes to the gut. This nerve is responsible for helping us feel rested, relaxed, and it's also responsible for pleasure because the more this nerve is activated, the more your body is able to receive. So, let's start. You're going to find a seated position, and you're going to start by placing your hands on your head, and we are going to start by just following the pathway of this nerve. So, we're going to start on our head, go down to our ears, to our neck, to our chest, to our belly. You can keep your eyes closed if this feels comfortable. I want you to go slow. Really feel what it feels like.

[00:00:52]It might feel a little bit weird to touch yourself like this. A lot of people say that, but that just means your body needs it more and not.

[00:01:05]A lot of the symptoms of your vagus nerve being stimulated might feel like you're ready to go to sleep. This is a good thing. You'll feel like you're yawning, swallowing more, tired. This is good. This means your nervous system is relaxing.

[00:01:28]Now, what you're going to do is you're going to use your hands and place them over your ears like this. So, you have your three fingers here, one behind, and you are applying pressure onto your hands, and you're going to just rotate. So, apply pressure and make circles like this.

[00:01:48]And this vagus nerve goes to the ears, and it's the only spot in your body where the nerve becomes a sensory nerve, meaning when you touch around your ear and at your ear, you are actually activating that vagus nerve directly.

[00:02:07]You're going to go the opposite way.

[00:02:09]That is called the auricular branch of the vagus nerve.

[00:02:14]I'm swallowing more, which is so good.

[00:02:21]Now, using your fingers, I want you to put your finger into the ear like this.

[00:02:27]So, not where the ear canal is, come a little bit up where that little ridge is here.

[00:02:32]And you're going to do both sides at the same time. You're going to make little circles like that.

[00:02:40]Go slow, gentle pressure.

[00:02:43]Feel good.

[00:02:49]Breathe.

[00:02:51]Go opposite, though.

[00:02:55]If you have long nails, feel free to use a Q-tip or a little back of a pencil.

[00:03:05]Really nice.

[00:03:09]Now, you're going to release your fingers, interlace them, and place them behind your neck like this. Bring your elbows out, and you're going to just keep your gaze forward, but you're keep your head forward, but then bring your gaze to the right. And you're going to hold that gaze until you feel yourself sigh, swallow, yawn.

[00:03:32]That means the nerve is being stimulated, and if you don't, that's okay.

[00:03:37]Just hold here and relax.

[00:03:41]Breathe.

[00:03:46]And you're going to switch.

[00:03:48]So, keep the head forward, and just bring the gaze now to the left.

[00:03:52]And hold. Breathe.

[00:03:57]>> [sighs] >> Nice side. That feels good.

[00:04:10]Back to center. Release your arms. And now what I want you to do is bring one hand behind your the small of your back, the other hand over your head like this. So, cradling your head. And I want you to just gently pull your ear to one side. And then with your eyes, you're going to look up to that side.

[00:04:32]So, if your ears are being pulled to the right, you're looking up towards the left.

[00:04:51]And back to center. Release and switch.

[00:04:55]Hand cradling the head. Gently pull. You will feel stretch there. Make sure your shoulder is nice and rolled back. And then you're going to look up to the opposite side now.

[00:05:08]Breathing.

[00:05:12]Letting your belly go. Don't suck it in.

[00:05:15]Just deep breaths.

[00:05:27]Back to center. Release. Now, I want you to place one hand over your heart and the other hand over that hand. Now, you're going to apply deep pressure. So, it should feel snug. And you're going to feel your heart beating. Okay?

[00:05:44]What I want you to do is you're going to breathe deeply. So, we're inhaling, our belly's expanding, and on the exhale, we are relaxing until you feel your heart rate slow down. So, this is called the heart lock.

[00:05:58]So, ready? You're going to start. Just close your eyes and start breathing deeply. So, we're going to inhale through the nose.

[00:06:07]Exhale.

[00:06:13]Inhale through the nose.

[00:06:18]Exhale.

[00:06:22]Pay attention to what your heart feels like.

[00:06:25]Pay attention to what your whole body feels like.

[00:06:28]Are you swallowing more? That's a great sign.

[00:06:31]Take a deep inhale.

[00:06:36]Exhale through the mouth.

[00:06:41]On your next inhale, I want you to exhale and give a big sigh. Take an inhale.

[00:06:49]Exhale, sigh.

[00:06:50]>> [sighs] >> Inhale.

[00:06:57]Exhale, sigh.

[00:07:05]Move your hands.

[00:07:07]And I hope you feel a little bit more regulated, and rested, and relaxed. And I hope that vagus nerve was stimulated.
