Often, the most profound lies within such incredible simplicity. When sharing functional breathing techniques with clients, friends, family or even strangers (those beautiful & unexpected conversations that can arise), common feedback that is offered around breathing practices is the notable/profound shifts & changes that occur from the simplest practices. In the last post, I spoke on breath awareness & how that can shift our perception & experience of reality. For example, by regularly checking in with breath & coming to the realisation that we can impact our physiology & nurture our nervous system AT ANY TIME can be very liberating & empowering for many. Then, with a simple practice such as this nasal breathing & humming, again we do just that. We check in with Self, cultivate Self relation & Self awareness, we impact our physiology in the most beautiful way & we nurture our nervous system, the state of which is ultimately how we perceive the world around (and within) us. We can do this practice literally anywhere. While driving, while at the grocery store, while cleaning, while mowing the lawn, while on the tools and/or working, while caring for kids or others and so on. It’s one that I implement multiple times daily. My husband & son do so now too. ❤️ All breathing practices hold SO much benefit. When we may come to understand the biochemical, biomechanical & psychophysiological aspects of any breathing practice, those fundamentals are absolutely game changing. The brilliant book, Breath by James Nestor is a fantastic place to start (that’s what kicked off my journey with the power of breath 5 years ago!) 😮💨💛🙏🏽⭕️
The Garden Within is HERE! It's time for you to flourish. I wrote this book to change the way you think about how you feel. Whether you control, repress, or "manage" them, emotions are too often cast as the opposition in a war that never seems to end. But, friend, your heart isn't meant to be a battlefield. Your heart is a garden. The seeds of this book were planted in my own heart at the tender age of six after untreated mental illness devastated my family's life. When it was finally time to write these words, I thought it would take six months. It took two years. But every heavy moment, every pang of self-doubt, every labor pain, and every non-prospering weapon formed was worth it to get this book to YOU. This book isn't about illness. The Garden Within is a book about what it truly means to be well. This book isn't about self-help. It's about self-understanding. Once you truly understand how the Creator designed you, the rest is simple. The Garden Within is for you if you want to learn how to cultivate a state of emotional well-being that can: 🌿 Unleash a new level of spiritual power in your life. 🌿 Calm anxiety and renew your mind, and 🌿 Heal your nervous system and reverse the effects of trauma, 🌿 Nourish your relationships, your purpose, and your legacy. 🌿 Tools to repair your inner garden 🌿 Skills to cultivate emotional well-being 🌿 Insight on leading a healthier, more powerful life ✨ Order yours today anywhere books are sold or go to TheGardenWithin.com I hope you are ready to start living your most powerful life. I'm so honored to put this book in your hands — and share these teachings — with you. . #TheGardenWithin #PowerGrowsHere #EmotionallyWellSpirituallyPowerful #EmotionalWellbeing #TraumaHealing #Somatic #VagusNerve
✨Menopause is associated with hormonal, neurochemical and structural changes in the brain, which can influence mood, cognition and overall brain health. 🧠 But symptoms aren't every woman's destiny, and can be significantly improved naturally🌿 🌼 Menopause is associated with increased systemic inflammation and alterations in immune function. Neuroinflammation in the brain may contribute to neuronal damage, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive impairment 🌼 Menopause can influence levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, which play roles in mood, cognition, and emotional well-being. Fluctuations can contribute to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes 🌼 Oestrogen receptors exist in various regions of the brain, including those involved in mood regulation, memory and cognition. Declining levels can affect plasticity and neuron survival, potentially contributing to cognitive changes and mood disturbances 🌼 Menopause can impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the stress response system. Changes in cortisol levels, a stress hormone, and this axis may influence mood regulation, stress resilience, and cognitive function 🌼 Oestrogen plays a role in neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and reorganise in response to experience. Declining levels may affect synaptic plasticity, neural connectivity, and the ability to learn and adapt to new information I'm not trying to scare you. Understanding these neurobiological changes during menopause can help direct where support is needed for brain function and emotional well-being 💚 ✅ Improving gut health through rebalancing and vagus nerve health; moving in the right way; and getting the right nutrients are all important for this.

📈 😌If a higher baseline vagal tone is associated with lower stress vulnerability and better stress adaptability, then strategies that increase vagal tone should be helpful for stress management and for supporting the body’s adaptive stress responses. We got you. In a recent article we shared vagus nerve science and vagus nerve and easy-to-implement ways to stimulate it for increased stress resilience. Link in profile 🔝
⚡️Increased vagal tone is associated with greater resilience because of its role in regulating the body’s stress response and promoting relaxation. ✨The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. ✨Here’s how increased vagal tone contributes to resilience: 1️⃣ Stress Response Regulation: The vagus nerve helps regulate the stress response inhibiting release of hormones such as cortisol & adrenaline. When vagal tone is high, the body is better able to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest/heal) & counter the effects of the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight). 2️⃣Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Vagal tone influences HRV positively. Increased vagal tone & higher HRV lead to flexible and adaptive response to stressors. 3️⃣Emotional Regulation: The vagus nerve plays a role in emotional regulation. Higher vagal tone is associated with better emotional regulation, reducing the intensity and duration of negative emotions, enhancing the ability to bounce back. 4️⃣Inflammation Regulation: Vagal tone also influences inflammation via the immune system. Higher vagal tone is associated with lower levels of inflammation & faster recovery from illness/injury. 5️⃣Social Connection: Vagal tone is key to social bonding & interpersonal relationships. Stronger vagal tone is associated with better social skills, empathy, & the ability to maintain supportive relationships. ⚡️Overall, increased vagal tone contributes to greater resilience in the face of adversity. 🌀Practices such as mindfulness, deep breathing, yoga, & regular physical activity have been shown to increase vagal tone and promote resilience. 🌱Are you reading to amplify the healing potential of your Vagus Nerve? 🌈 Your invitation to VagusFest awaits—reserve your spot today and take the first step towards optimal health and wellness! 🌈 https://roots-deep-medicine.ticketleap.com/vagusfest/ #ROOTSDEEPMEDICINE #NaturopathicMedicine #rootcausemedicine #polyvagaltheory #parasympatheticpower #vagaltone #inflammation #nervousystem #holistichealth #mindbodyspiritmedicine #VagusFest #HolisticWellness #RootCauseMedicine #vagusnerve #resiliency

In a world full of distractions, the wisdom of this Sufi reflection rings truer than ever. Our senses, so integral to our experience of life, often find themselves stifled by barriers - both external and self-imposed. The cluttered paths that lie in the journey of our sensory, thinking, and emotional experiences often leave us groping in the darkness, straining to hear, and starving for genuine connection. But what happens when we clear these paths? When our eyes are free from prejudice, they witness the undiluted beauty of existence. When our ears are not clouded by noise, they pick up on the most subtle harmonies of the universe. When our mouth savors without bias, even the simplest of foods become a feast. The pure, undisturbed aroma is the gift of a nose that breathes free. But beyond the physical senses lies the realm of the mind and the heart. An unobstructed mind becomes a fountainhead of wisdom, seeing clearly without the haze of preconceptions. And a heart, when unburdened by past wounds and fears, radiates love, touching every soul it encounters. As you pause and reflect on this reel, ask yourself: What obstructions am I holding onto? How can I free my senses, my mind, and my heart to experience the world in its raw, unfiltered majesty? Because in this freedom lies the magic of truly living, loving, and understanding.

I have just completed a seven day myofascial energetic release training with the very wonderful @nisarga8 The training has deeply reconnected me to my bodywork roots but in a whole new way. It also inevitably enhances awareness of trauma in the body, and how to work with it safely. When you see how much is held, you realise that there is great responsibility in this work. To be in a room surrounded by so many of the students that were trained by @sevendirectionsbreathwork and @integrative_breath (slide 2) was utterly heart warming for me. I genuinely love this bunch of amazing humans and how much they continue to show up for the work. In addition to our graduates there were a whole load of brand-new connections and contacts I made from other areas of professional breathwork, friends and peers in other somatic practices and people that I’ve admired and respected from afar - all of us now in the same room, all of us willing to be courageous, vulnerable and honest! I know that every single one of us will be changed in the depth of our breathwork practice through this wonderful training. Nisarga, thank you for being such a clean and ethical vessel of teaching. So much love and gratitude 🙏 *big happy exhale sigh*

Knowledge is power. Learning about potential causes of your symptoms is empowering and can change the course of your healing journey. We have to be aware of what things have changed in the environment around us when we are not feeling optimal. The reality is we can’t stop these changes from occurring in our environment, we can barely even hide from them…we can however learn how to mitigate, harmonize, and make ourselves stronger to better handle them. I am sensitive to EMF and while lowering my toxic load in my body I find I am to handle these stressors more. Next post will have some solutions for you. At Vagus Clinic, we have a form on our website that you can fill out for a complimentary 20min call with one of our health coaches. #emfexposure #emf #emfradiation #health #energy #electronmagneticradiation #wellness #vagusclinic #vagusnerve #emfs

The top 10 benefits of stimulating your vagus nerve: 1 💗 Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Vagus nerve stimulation promotes the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to relaxation and reduced stress levels. 2 💗 Enhanced Digestion: The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in the regulation of digestion, including the release of digestive enzymes and the movement of food through the digestive tract. 3 💗 Better Mood: Vagus nerve stimulation is associated with increased production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are known to regulate mood. 4 💗 Enhanced Immune Function: The vagus nerve helps regulate the immune system, and stimulating it can enhance immune function. This may lead to a reduced risk of infections. 5 💗 Enhanced Cognitive Function: The vagus nerve is involved in various cognitive functions, including memory and learning. Stimulating the vagus nerve may improve cognitive performance. 6 💗 Reduced Inflammation: Vagus nerve stimulation has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation throughout the body and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions. 7 💗 Improved Heart Health: Activation of the vagus nerve can lower heart rate and blood pressure, promoting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of heart disease. 8 💗 Pain Relief: Vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to modulate pain perception and reduce the intensity of chronic pain conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. 9 💗 Improved Sleep: Activation of the vagus nerve promotes relaxation and can help regulate sleep patterns. This may lead to better sleep quality and reduced insomnia. 10 💗 Accelerated Wound Healing: Activation of the vagus nerve has been shown to accelerate the healing process of wounds and promote tissue regeneration.

The vagal brake is the part of your vagus nerve that connects your brain to your heart 💚 The ventral vagal system where we feel safe, calm, and connected, functions as a brake over the sympathetic mobilize, fight/flight response. When the vagal brake is applied, we get more ventral vagal energy. When the vagal brake releases, we get more sympathetic energy. (Pinna & Edwards, 2020, p. 4) Unfortunately, when we have face trauma, overwhelming situations, or chronic pain/illness, our vagal brake does not function properly. So, when we face a challenge, the vagal brake fully releases and we go into a high fight/flight response. We then have difficulty applying the brake and shifting back to a ventral vagal state. By developing higher vagal tone, we increase our ability to apply the vagal brake and shift back to the ventral vagal system with more ease. Vagal tone can be improved with breathwork, somatic practices, qigong, yoga, dancing, movement, meditation, singing, humming, chanting, music, cold water, and social connection. Pick one practice today to increase your vagal tone. This can have a real effect in reducing or eliminating chronic pain and illness. #vagusnerve #ventralvagalsystem #ventralvagal #nervoussystemregulation #sympatheticnervoussystem #vagaltone #polyvagaltheory #emotionalregulation #ChronicPainRelief #chronicpainsupport #vagusnervereset #vagusnervehealing

Adjusting Mum on Mother’s Day! Hope those Mothers out there had a wonderful day! I got to spend the day down the family farm with Mum (& Dad) and one of my brothers today. The sun ☀️ was shining and we shared a meal. Mum’s (Nonna) is Italian 🇮🇹 and what she hinted at earlier this week, l prepared for lunch. (Not sure how thrilled Nonno was with the main dish). I made a delicious meat pie (pastry only on top!) and a home baked sponge with cream and strawberry jam. Not very Italian l know, but it’s what made her smile! Thanks Mum for all your kindness, love, support and for the wisdom that you have shared with us. Love you lots! Lisa

Your heart was never meant to be a battlefield. Your heart is a garden. That’s why battling your heart is futile. Heal it instead. I wish I had known this about my own heart sooner. I wish I had learned the strength, beauty, and importance of my emotions as a child, or as a young adult, or at least by the time I was a new mother. Like a lot of people, I grew up believing that I was meant to harness the power of my mind to live well and that emotions were nice but more often problematic. I spent decades ignoring that part of myself. Maybe you did, too. Maybe you still are. Let’s walk into the garden together and begin the restorative work of healing. Your heart is a garden.

Truly listening to our bodies is vital for health and well-being but is rarely practiced effectively. Many of us overlook the importance of setting aside quiet time for meditation, mindful body scans, or deep breathing each day, which are crucial for tuning into our body's signals. This attentiveness allows us to identify and address our physical needs effectively. Here's how to put this into action: Understanding Physical Signals: Learn to recognize your body's signals, like hunger, tiredness, or pain, as ways your body communicates its needs. Paying Attention to Emotional Responses: Notice how emotions affect your body physically, such as stress causing tight shoulders, to understand emotional health. Responding to Your Body’s Needs: Don't ignore signs like fatigue. Adjust your lifestyle for more sleep, nutrition, or relaxation to stay healthy. Noticing Changes Over Time: Be aware that your body's needs evolve. Adapt your diet and exercise as necessary. Taking Note of Reactions to Foods or Activities: Observe how certain foods or activities make you feel, guiding you towards healthier habits that suit your body best. #truvaga #vagusnerve #bodyscan #quiettime (NASDAQ:ECOR)

⚠️⚠️Your physical & mental will suffer if you don’t look after your circadian rhythm ⚠️⚠️ ⏰ Our circadian rhythm is our body’s internal clock. 🚦It regulates our vagal activity 🥁The vagus also displays rhythmic activities during the day. 💤🛌 Vagal tone increase while we sleep. ☀️ Vagal tone decrease during the day. ❤️🩹 Dysregulated circadian rhythm = dysregulated Vagal tone. ❌ This will lead to health issues - sleep disturbances, metabolic disorders, and mood imbalances. Ways to improve circadian rhythm: ✅early morning sunlight ✅exercise in the morning ✅no caffeine after 4pm. ✅eat early evening. Not close to bed time. ✅turn down lights in evening ✅stop screen time at least an hour before bed time ✅try Melatonin supplement if trouble sleeping - 30 mins before bedtime ✅try magnesium threonate + L-theanine stack 30 mins before bedtime.

Our nervous system has a beautiful job to do & has been exploited by those with the most power. Slide Rides: Living in a Capitalistic, Imperialistic Colonial Regime gains strength from our chronic freeze states. When we are nervous systems are frozen (dorsal vagal), there is dissociation, numbness, spacey, forgetfulness, a sense of disconnection from yourself & others around you. & this not an individual failing - this is by design. Do whatever you need to do to avoid numbness - or else they win.
Addressing Collar Up Infections before they ruin your athletic performance. Here are my top 6 reasons why you NEED to pay attention to the signals from your body. Even if you are an athlete trained to “push through” how you feel, take a moment to stop and consider the questions listed in this post. If you answered yes to any of these questions, it might be time to find a professional to help you determine if a “Collar Up” infection is causing your symptoms. Vagus Clinic would be honored to guide you through the process. #vagus #vagusnerve #vagusclinic #functionalmedicine #collarup #collarupinfections #athletes #athleticperformance #healyourgut
It’s your turn to take an active part in your healing! If you are an athlete reading this, you know the importance of sticking to a routine to ensure visible, lasting results. Same concept with addressing Collar Up infections! The navage, waterpik, and neti pot are fantastic for cleaning germs out of your mouth and sinuses. Adding a small amount of a binder, even Hydroxygen to the saline solution makes it even more effective! Red light therapy and infrared sauna increase circulation and thus waste removal and tissue repair—very helpful to the healing process! Additionally, the heat generated may help kill pathogens. Herbs like eucalyptus as a steam or Para 3 by CellCore can be great aids as well.

In this very interesting study, the impact of hormones on smell preference and modulation of the nervous system was tested in 18 Japanese women. The results indicated that hormonal fluctuations altered preference for essential oils and the essential oils the women preferred had a beneficial effect on the nervous system (better parasympathetic tone) and cerebral blood flow. Women in late luteal phase (3-5 pre-menstruation) appeared to prefer lemongrass and dislike pine sylvestre, whereas those with milder symptoms in the late luteal phase preferred lavender vera and disliked lemongrass. This demonstrates that hormones impact preference and this impacts the nervous system. Abstract Methods: An observational study integrating aromatherapy with slow-paced breathing was conducted. Eighteen women (aged 20–22 years) without olfactory impairments were categorized into two groups: those with strong symptoms perceived in the late luteal phase (n = 10) and those with mild symptoms (n = 8). The study assessed responses during the early follicular and late luteal phases and recorded preferences for the following four essential oils: pine sylvestre (Pinus sylvestris), geranium bourbon (Pelargonium X asperum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and lavender vera (Lavandula angustifolia). The autonomic nervous activity and cerebral blood flow were assessed in the early follicular and late luteal phases using the essential oils most and least preferred by each participant. Results: ... Changes in ANS activity, marked by an increase in sympathetic function and a decrease in parasympathetic function during the sniffing exercise, persisted regardless of the menstrual cycle stage or essential oil preference. The inhalation of preferred essential oils stimulated cerebral blood flow, whereas less-preferred oils led to a reduction. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/imr.2023.0032 (In bio) #WomensHealth #EssentialOils #PineOil #LavenderOil #LemongrassOil #MenstrualCycle #Smell #SmellPreference #HRV #VagusNerve #Parasympathetic #Calming #EssentialOilsHormones
Zoom Workshop! I'm running this workshop again, this time on Zoom, because it's too important for anyone to miss. Join us and understand and support yourself (and others) like never before. If you don't understand how your nervous system acts, and reacts, you are at its mercy and will often end up in places that are very different than your goals and intentions. Did you know that EVERYTHING we do (and don't do) depends on the state of our nervous system? Join us and learn about the different nervous system states that are often responsible for our emotions such as anxiety and depression, our incessant thinking, and our behavioral patterns such as pleasing, perfectionism, avoidance, being controlling..... Explore why we often get stuck in patterns that don't seem logical, or support us toward our goals. Learn to recognize what's happening within yourself and the tools needed to guide yourself toward greater internal peace and calm, support your vagus nerve, and create the neuroplasticity needed to restore mind and body health. This workshop will provide participants with better understanding of themselves and others, creating greater internal regulation and improved relationships. I hope you'll join us!

Did you knew about the vagus nerve system? The vagus nerve is like a superhighway connecting your brain to your body. It’s involved in regulating many essential functions, like heart rate, digestion, and even mood. When it’s working well, you feel calm and balanced. But when it’s not, it can lead to issues like anxiety, digestive problems, or difficulty focusing. Practices like deep breathing or mindfulness can help keep your vagus nerve in good shape, promoting overall well-being. #vagusnerve #vagusnervehealing #perth #selfcarethread
If the answer to these 3 questions is YES, then your nervous system is currently regulated and in ventral state (social engagement). If you’ve answered no to 1 or more of these questions, your nervous system might be dysregulated, and in sympathetic (fight or flight), or dorsal state (shut down). You will spend more time in ventral, as you increase you capacity to move through all 3 nervous system states when dysregulation happens. ✨ 🦶🏼 Check-in with your body: How can I feel safer? Are both of my feet on the Earth? Is my spine straight? Would movement or stillness help me feel more anchored? How can I use my senses to come back to my body? 🫀 Check-in with your heart: How can I feel connected? How is my heart doing today? Am I in my head or with my feelings? What emotion is arising now? Am I allowing myself to feel it without judgement? What do I need? 🌬️ Check-in with your breath: How can I feel present? Have I taken a moment to breathe consciously today? When observing my breathing, do I feel the urge to start overthinking, or do I find peace in this moment? Am I able to become one with my breath? What happens when I slow down? #NervousSystemRegulation #NervousSystem #VagusNerve

Is the parasympathetic nervous system the key to your child's chronic health struggles? 🤔 The parasympathetic branch of the nervous system is most susceptible to birth interventions and trauma such as forceps, vacuum extraction, c-section, and induction since tremendous physical strain and tension is placed on the delicate nerves and muscles of the upper neck that house and protect the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system. 😢 And any parent knows when their toddler is learning to walk there is an extra amount of wobbling and falling on their bum. 😂 You might notice this even more if your child struggles with gross motor challenges. What parents may not know, is those falls on their sacrum and tailbone can disrupt parasympathetic nervous system function. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are the two complementary branches of the autonomic nervous system that work together 🤝 to maintain equilibrium in the body. The sympathetic system governs the “fight-or-flight” stress response, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and alertness to prepare the body to confront threats. In contrast, the parasympathetic system controls “rest-and-digest” activities through the vagus nerve to conserve resources, slow heart rate, activate digestion, reduce inflammation, and promote regulation after threats have passed. Imbalances between these two systems can lead to chronic health conditions, but supporting healthy parasympathetic signaling through the vagus nerve can help resolve these issues at their root cause. 👏 Your child deserves to live their absolute best life — and the article 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑁𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 linked in our bio will have you armed with the information you need to get there! #pxdocs // How to calm the nervous system // Tips to calm nervous system // Rest and digest // #vagusnerve // Parasympathetic
Is the parasympathetic nervous system the key to your child's chronic health struggles? 🤔 The parasympathetic branch of the nervous system is most susceptible to birth interventions and trauma such as forceps, vacuum extraction, c-section, and induction since tremendous physical strain and tension is placed on the delicate nerves and muscles of the upper neck that house and protect the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system. 😢 And any parent knows when their toddler is learning to walk there is an extra amount of wobbling and falling on their bum. 😂 You might notice this even more if your child struggles with gross motor challenges. What parents may not know, is those falls on their sacrum and tailbone can disrupt parasympathetic nervous system function. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are the two complementary branches of the autonomic nervous system that work together 🤝 to maintain equilibrium in the body.
