03.07.25 - LISTENING TO THE HEART
How can we find ways to alter the inner sensory landscape of our bodies, to navigate from a heartfelt sense of being, connected to ourselves, our communities and nature, in a loving way?
10.07.25 - IMPROVING VAGAL TONE
Vagal tone - a key strategy to tone the vagus nerve is to stimulate it.
When you stimulate the vagus nerve, you improve resilience, meaning that your vagus nerve is healthier and more responsive. This activates communication between your body and your brain that triggers the release of different chemical messengers, like neurotransmitters, which improve communication between all the organ systems connected to your vagus nerve.
When vagal tone is good, you are able to relax and recover more quickly. You become more resilient to stress, have better mental and emotional health, better concentration, memory and mood. Plus, strong vagal tone enables your body to better regulate blood glucose levels, calm inflammation and prevent brain degeneration.
