Heal with Grace

31. How to know which nervous system state you're in


Listen Later

In this episode of the Heal with Grace podcast, Grace explores how to identify the state of your nervous system using the polyvagal theory. Introduced by Dr. Stephen Porges in 1994, the polyvagal theory categorises the nervous system into three states: ventral vagal (green zone), sympathetic (yellow zone), and dorsal vagal (red zone). Grace explains how each state impacts mental, physical, and emotional health and provides practical tips on how to move between these states effectively. Emphasising self-care and understanding individual responses, the episode offers insights into maintaining a balanced and regulated nervous system for overall well-being.
