"A healthy vagus nerve supports your digestive system, helps to regulates your sleep patterns, and calms down your nerves. Learning to regulate vagal tone is associated with a reduction in inflammation and better prognosis in people suffering from chronic illness, migraines, auto-immune disorders, anxiety, and depression."

If you suffer from any of these, you may benefit from increasing your vagal tone.

Try Bowen therapy!

You can learn to manage the symptoms of vagus nerve disorders by skillfully working with your mind and body to tone your vagus nerve.

The lymphatic system is literally EVERYWHERE and it plays an important part in EVERYTHING.
If your lymphatic system is struggling, so will you be. On all levels. From brain function, to gut health, to fluid balance throughout the body, cardio vascular health, tissue health, to immune health and immune response.
In fact if your lymphatic system had to stop working it would be fatal within 24-48 hours.

Definitely why a Bowen treatment has such far reaching and all-round effect and response....

The sympathetic branch of the ANS may be overactive in autistic children, which is consistent with reports of elevated anxiety...

A wonderful example of the innate healing intelligence of the body...
Did you know the immune system keeps a record of inflammatory incidents so the body can be better prepared next time?
It now appears the skin has a similar mechanism & It could help us understand Psoriasis...

Amazing!

Wounds, and even other harmful attacks that cause inflammation, are 'remembered' by stem cells in the skin, according to new research, and those 'memories' are used to heal our bodies faster the next time around.

Weight lifting & the nervous system...

New research published in the Society for Neuroscience indicates that the first few weeks of weight training strengthens the nervous system, not the muscles...
Fascinating!

Gym-goers may get frustrated when they don't see results from weightlifting right away, but their efforts are not in vain: the first few weeks of training strengthen the nervous system, not muscles.

Quality sleep is essential for health. Did you know that during non-REM sleep the brain actually uses cerebrospinal fluid to clear accumulating toxins?
Incredible new research!

If you're not sleeping well, you're not healing well.

Bowen can help with both!

The synchronized brain waves of non-REM sleep may play a key role in preventing toxins from accumulating in a person's brain.

Remember that if one of the links in the chain of movement breaks down then the entire structure can be affected.

What once provided mobility will end up providing stability.

Which is why sometimes taking a step back to see the bigger picture can often help with those issues that are not being resolved when we focus on just one area...

"Take a deep breath. Hug a friend*. Reach for the ceiling and stretch your limbs. Each of these simple acts bestows a sense of calm and comfort. And each works its soothing magic in part by activating a complicated system of nerves that connects the brain to the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many of the organs. That system is known collectively as the vagus nerve."

Bowenwork has a vagus nerve procedure, and its aim, along with all Bowen moves, is to shift the body from the flight or fight response (sympathetic nervous system) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest mode) where healing can occur.

**We don't recommend hugging your friends during the COVID-19 pandemic, but you can hug a member of your household... 🤗

There's evidence to suggest that the source of your chronic pain may very well be caused by stress and emotional trauma and not a physical injury.

If you're in pain, try Bowen...!!

How trauma can impact our brains...
"The traumatized brain is anything but lazy. In fact, it is overworked, overstimulated, overactive and overstressed.
Many trauma survivors have an enlarged amygdala, which triggers the fight-or-flight response."

Bowen therapy can be a wonderful way to support your body to find balance. It helps you switch from "fight or flight" to "rest, digest & restore"

"Let's expose that lie, shall we?"
