Vagus Nerve Toning Course

Hello and welcome. Thank you for choosing this Vagus Nerve Toning Course. 

This video is a short introduction into our amazing vagus nerve, how it works in the body and how we can improve our lives by tapping into it’s incredible power.

This video goes through some simple preparation before we start our vagus nerve toning practice together.

This video is an introduction to diaphragmatic breathing. Deep diaphragmatic breathing stimulates and tones the vagus nerve, which activates the relaxation response of parasympathetic nervous system.

In this video we explore the simple and pleasurable practice of ear-rubbing and ear-massage. 

A branch of the vagus nerve comes to the surface of the skin inside our ears which when rubbed and massaged directly stimulates our vagus nerve. 

Ear rubbing is one of my favourite relaxing practices. You can use it at night time, for yourself or you children, if you are having difficulty sleeping.

Alternate nostril breathing is a simple yet effective practice that helps to restore calm bringing balance, reducing stress and anxiety. 

In this video I demonstrate making some simple and easy to follow sounds, bringing some fun and playful energy into our practice.

Allow yourself to explore and get creative with the other sounds you can make to stimulate your vagus nerve. Use a deep and steady breath while doing this practice. Incorporating these simple practices for just a few minutes each day into your daily routine over time will improve your vagal tone.

Using sound making, humming and singing to stimulate and tone the vagus nerve. This one is a little bit extra fun! Making animal noises is a fun way to tone vagus nerve too! 

In this video we use long vocal toning sounds along with deep breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve.

Using repetitive rythmic sounds to stimulate and tone the vagus nerve can be a deeply relaxing practice. Use meaningful and positive words or try using a mantra.

Here we use laughter to stimulate our vagus nerve.

If you are able, then incorporating movement into your practice can have positive benefits. In this video we use movement with sound making at the same time. Play with this practice as much as you can. 

One of my favorite powerful ways to tone the vagus nerve is by singing. You can sing or hum along to any music and songs you like. Let your heart sing, get loud and get happy!

Thank you for joining this course. I hope you have enjoyed learning the different practices and techniques I have shared. I encourage you to incorporate these practices into your every day life. Just a few minutes each day can bring benefits with regular practice. Try singing while in the shower, humming while you are out walking, deep breathing when you are settling down to sleep for the night.
