Description: In this practice, Dr. Cliff Smyth leads us through a progression of gentle soft touch of the neck, the chest, and the abdomen – following the pathway of the vagal nerve to promote calming which increases our capacity to be with our current feelings.

As a service to our larger community, Saybrook University is offering a daily mindful moment through July, beginning at 12:13 PM Eastern/9:13 AM Pacific. Designed to be 15 minutes in length, our Mind-Body Medicine faculty have banded together to provide these sessions as a source of centering and solace in these extraordinary times.
