6 Best Ways To Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve
The Vagus Nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It originates in the brain and then travels through your digestive system. It is the body and mind connection and is being increasingly seen as the superhighway of our nervous system.
We have 2 sides to our nervous system. The first is the parasympathetic nervous system. This is the ‘rest and digest’ part.
On the flip side, we have our sympathetic nervous system which is ‘fight and flight’. This is the part that kicks in when we are being metaphorically chased by a tiger. It’s also the side that most people live in on a daily basis. It’s your bodies survival or emergency mode, that is responsible for all your stress and anxiety.
Another tip that you can use to reset your nervous system is to yawn. By yawning deliberately, you will find your body restores its default settings. We have been made intelligently and an anxious state is not our natural state.
