Welcome to my Vagal Healing Workshop
The next six days will help you to get to know your vagus nerve, its pathways, and its role in your healing. You can download any of these meditations to use on your own after the course concludes. The workshop concludes with a Vagal Healing Frequency that you can listen to at any time.
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body and communicates with every organ. Although the wording makes it sound like one nerve, it is actually a bundle of nerves that flow through the gut, heart, and brain.
The main function of the vagus nerve is to help the parasympathetic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system that allows us to rest and digest. The parasympathetic state is where we want our bodies to be most of the time. The sympathetic nervous system is the opposite of this rest and digest parasympathetic state. This is our fight or flight and increases during times of stress or danger. This fight or flight is wonderful when we need to in times of danger, but if we have long-term stressors in our lives, this temporary state can become long term and our bodies can remain in this state even during stress-free times.
This is where we can benefit from vagal work. The vagus nerve, when stimulated, can help bring us back to this parasympathetic or rest and digest state. Therefore when we experience short or long-term times of stress or danger, we can return to a state of ease.
This workshop will help you to tune into your body through visualization and breathwork and connect with this state of ease. It is best to be worked through in order, but please choose to work through it in whatever way works best for you.
