🌿 The Vagus Nerve: Your Body’s Calm Switch

Did you know your body has a built-in system designed to calm you down?

The vagus nerve is a powerful communication pathway between your brain, heart, lungs, and gut. It plays a key role in how safe, relaxed, and grounded you feel.

When your vagus nerve is activated, your body shifts from fight-or-flight into rest-and-restore — where healing can begin.

✨ A well-supported vagus nerve can help with:
• Reducing anxiety and overwhelm
• Improving digestion and gut health
• Easing muscle tension
• Supporting emotional regulation
• Improving sleep and energy levels

🌬️ Simple ways to gently activate it:
• Slow, deep breathing
• Humming or gentle sound
• Warm, nurturing touch
• Mindful stillness
• Holistic therapies that soothe the nervous system

At Soul Balance Therapies, many of our treatments naturally support the vagus nerve — helping the body feel safe enough to let go, rebalance, and heal.

✨ Sometimes calm isn’t something you think your way into…
It’s something your body remembers.

💙 Find peace within the pause.

✨ Energy: Everything We Are, Everything We Exchange ✨

Everything holds energy — our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions, our words, and even the spaces we move through.

We are not separate from the world around us.
We are constantly exchanging energy with people, environments, and experiences — often without realising it.

🌿 How Energy Affects Us

You may have noticed: • Feeling drained after being around certain people

• Feeling calmer in nature or quiet spaces
• Sensing tension in a room before anyone speaks
• Feeling lighter after rest, connection, or release

This isn’t imagination — it’s awareness.
Our nervous system is always reading energy:
✨ tone
✨ body language
✨ emotional undercurrents
✨ safety or threat

🌱 Our Energy Affects Others Too

The energy we carry doesn’t stay contained within us.

• Calm energy can regulate others
• Tension can be felt without words
• Unprocessed emotions can ripple outward
• Grounded presence can create safety
This is why how we care for ourselves matters, not just for us — but for those around us.

✨ Protecting & Supporting Your Energy
Energy care doesn’t have to be complicated.
• Ground yourself regularly
• Take breaks from overstimulation
• Clear emotional build-up gently
• Create boundaries without guilt
• Rest when your body asks
• Spend time in spaces that feel nourishing

Energy isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness and intention.

At Soul Balance, we honour the understanding that healing happens not just in the body or mind, but in the energy that flows through them.

🌿 When you tend to your energy, everything else begins to soften.

🌿 How to Cleanse, Charge & Program Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy, so regular care keeps them working gently and effectively.

✨ Cleansing

Use any method that feels right:
• Smoke (sage, palo santo, incense)
• Moonlight (especially full moon)
• Sound (singing bowl, bell, tuning fork)
• Selenite (place nearby or on a plate) Cleanse under running water, a river or the sea

(Intuition matters — there’s no single “right” way.)

✨ Charging

After cleansing, recharge your crystal:
• Moonlight or sunlight (gentle morning sun is best)
• Holding it in your hands with focused intention
• Placing it on natural earth or near plants

✨ Programming

Programming simply means setting an intention.

Hold your crystal and quietly state:
✨ What you want support with
✨ How you wish to feel
✨ What energy you invite in

Example:
“I program this crystal to support calm, balance and emotional healing.”

Crystals respond to clarity, not perfection.

✨ Crystals don’t replace inner work — they support it
✨ The most powerful energy is your intention

If you’re drawn to a crystal, it’s often because something within you already knows what you need 🤍
