Techniques for stimulating the #Vagus nerve, the Queen of the #parasympathetic nervous system
Have you ever asked yourself the question “what #acupuncture, #yoga, #singing, #laughing, #humming and #splashing your face with cold water they all have in common”? Well, they all “hack” the sensation you have when your Vagus nerve is activated.
To sum up, think your Vagus nerve as a busy superhighway for “social engagement interactions” between your inner and your outer world (namely your brain, organs, gut and environment). And the next time you feel stressed just remember that all it takes is just a deep breath, or a laugh, or even a hug to activate your Vagus nerve and consequently calm your stress down by finding internal balance.
