Join me for this calming yoga nidra. I wrote this original script to target and activate your vagus nerve. Your vagus nerve is part of your autonomic nervous system. It plays a role in regulating your body’s internal environment, including your heart rate, digestion, breathing and immune response. It can support you in feeling less anxious and depressed. Through this guided meditation your nervous system will be calmed, reducing anxiety and depression and supporting an overall sense of well-being. Your sleep will also be supported.

The guided meditation takes you through a rotation of parts of your body with a focus on your vagus nerve. This meditation is perfect for all levels of experience from beginner’s to advance. You do not need any prior yoga experience. You can choose whatever position you want for this meditation. In fact most people do it lying down. Enjoy the gift of restoration with this Vagus Nerve Yoga Nidra to Calm Your Nervous System.

May this practice support you in feeling regulated so that you can respond with flexibility to the ordinary and stressful challenges of day to day life.

With love and many blessings, Melissa
