What is it like to feel unsafe? What goes on in your body, in your mind, in your emotions when you don’t feel safe? 

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the Vagus Nerve, that starts in the brain stem, in the back of the head, and connects all the way down into our vital organs. When there is an imbalance in your nervous system, specifically in the Vagus Nerve, you can have a very hard time connecting to a feeling of safety.  You might feel chronic anxiety, hyper-vigilance, exhaustion and disengagement with the world..  Niseema takes us through how the Vagus Nerve contributes to an imbalance in the nervous system, and how to regain balance through simple exercises.  

Niseema also introduces a powerful tool for healing and balancing the Vagus Nerve called The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).  SSP delivers a passive stimulation of the Vagus Nerve to help increase its capacity to regulate the "fight or flight'' part of our nervous system, which contributes to symptoms of anxiety and PTSD, and access feelings of safety and connection.
