What do you know about the Vagus Nerve?

Did you know your body has a nerve that connects your brain to almost every one of your important organs? It's called the vagus nerve, and it's pretty amazing! 🤯

Next month in the Miracle Membership we are going to be focusing on the vagus nerve and diving into some simple practices that can really help nurture and tone this mind-body connection 🧠 🕺

Here are some key facts about this fascinating nerve:

💡 It's the longest cranial nerve, running from your brainstem through your neck and torso. Its name comes from the Latin word for "wandering."

💡 The vagus nerve is a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system, and has influence over your heart rate, breathing, and digestion.

💡 Incredibly, the vagus nerve has branches that connect to your heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and intestines! Talk about mind-body integration. 🔗

💡The vagus nerve is your body's information superhighway, allowing your brain to receive updates and send instructions throughout your core.

💡 The vagus nerve also plays a key role in regulating your nervous system and influencing your mood and emotional state.

💡 It's a major component of the parasympathetic "rest and digest" response, which helps your body relax after periods of stress or danger.

💡 Vagus nerve activity is linked to positive emotions like relaxation and feelings of safety and security. It's been called the "body's brake" that applies the brakes on your stress response.

💡 Conversely, lower vagus nerve activity is associated with higher anxiety, inflammation, depression, and emotional instability.

💡 Practices that stimulate the vagus nerve like deep breathing, meditation, singing, and even laughing can activate the relaxation response and improve mood.

So this remarkable nerve not only has an essential physical role, it's a powerful link between your mind's emotional state and your body's physiological responses. Nurturing your vagus nerve promotes a calmer, more regulated nervous system.
