This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the Vagus Nerve, a major nerve in the body that begins at the brainstem and travels all the way through the vital organs to the sacrum. The Vagus Nerve has been shown to have a very strong connection to how you manage stress. A weak Vagus Nerve is a major indicator that you have been suffering from prolonged and chronic stress.
Niseema 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.
