@jonesin.for.wellness: Heres why. Life changing nervous system wellness tips This ritual helps stimulate your vagus nerve, aiding in the regulation of your nervous system. *Something I have been working hard on since my surgery in Feb* ‌ This seemingly random—but very refreshing—technique helps relieve anxiety by activating the body’s mammalian diving reflex. WTF? Mammalian Diving Response (or diving reflex) sends a calming message to the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a key component of the parasympathetic nervous system. It plays a key role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion and breathing. ‌ When the vagus nerve is activated, it triggers a parasympathetic response (aka rest & digest). ‌ So by activating your vagus nerve you essentially help your body shift your nervous system from a state of Fight or flight (which is where you live when feeling stress, anxiety + overwhelm) to a calmer, more relaxed state (rest & digest). Doing this technique regularly can help strengthen your vagal nerve tone! Which you want, and I want and what I’m working on these days. Super simple to implement. Free. Takes 30 seconds. #highcortisol #nervousystem #nervoussystemregulation #vagusnerve #adrenalfatigue #wellnesstips #holisticwellness
