In order to be physically and mentally healthy, our vagus nerve has to be functioning properly. When our vagus nerve functions properly were in primarily in what’s called social engagement mode. We’re also flexible and able to react appropriately to stress. We’re less susceptible to disease because our immune system is functioning at its best.
You can practice this as often as you make time for. Ideally daily— or any time you want to get back to a parasympathetic state.
Test your mobility before and after doing this practice. And if you can— journal after. Notice how your emotions change when you help your body do so what it naturally does.
TO PRACTICE:
You’ll feel the occipital bone at the base of your skull. Press firmly, but NOT too hard. Move the skin to the right and hold. Then to the left. Keep breathing.
This practice was created by Stanley Rosenberg who through polyvagal theroy (Dr. Stephen Porges) initiatively understood that trauma is stored within the body. His work with clients focused on somatic practices, specially clients with depression, anxiety, and other “disorders” that are actually adaptions.
Please share so other people have access to the healing power that can come when we understand the role of the vagus nerve and our nervous system #selfhealers
