🌿✨ Meet Your Vagus Nerve – Your Body’s Calm Switch ✨🌿
The vagus nerve is like your body’s “reset button.” It connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and gut—and when it’s activated, it turns on your parasympathetic nervous system (aka: rest, digest, and heal). 💚
Here are simple ways to support and stimulate your vagus nerve every day:
🧘♀️ Breathwork – slow, deep belly breathing or 4-7-8 breathing
🎶 Humming, chanting, or singing – vibration stimulates the vagus nerve
🚿 Cold exposure – a splash of cold water on your face or a cool shower
🙏 Meditation or prayer – helps quiet the stress response
💙 Connection – laughter, hugs, and social bonding are vagus nerve boosters
🍲 Gut health – probiotics, fiber, and mindful eating support the gut-brain connection
🧘♂️ Yoga or gentle movement – encourages balance between mind and body
When your vagus nerve is strong, you’re more resilient, less anxious, and better able to heal. 🌱
✨ Which vagus-nerve reset do you want to try this week?
