What most people get wrong about the vagus nerve
A lot of nervous-system advice is about doing:
breathing,
cold water,
humming,
relaxing.
Those things can help.
But sometimes they don’t go deep enough.
Why?
Because your nervous system won’t truly relax until your body feels safe.
And the way your brain knows you’re safe is through your spine.
Your spine is always sending messages up to your brain:
“I’m okay.”
or
“Something’s not right.”
If your spine is holding tension, old injuries, or years of stress,
those messages can sound more like:
“Be careful.”
“Stay alert.”
So even when you try to calm yourself, your body may still stay guarded.
This is where Spinal Flow helps.
Spinal Flow doesn’t force your body to relax.
It helps your spine send clearer, calmer messages to your brain.
When the brain receives those messages,
your nervous system can finally soften.
That’s when real calm happens.
