It's important to understand that not all breathwork techniques are equally effective for every state of anxiety. When your nervous system is in a Sympathetic state (fight or flight), employing breathing methods that slow your heart rate—such as longer exhales—can be beneficial. However, if you're in a Dorsal Vagal state (shutdown), deep breathing might inadvertently deepen that shutdown, making you feel more disconnected and low. Moreover, while breathwork can influence your physiological state, it doesn't directly address the thought patterns that may be intensifying your anxiety. For comprehensive relief, it's essential to combine breathwork with other somatic and neural exercises, alongside strategies to manage and reframe anxious thoughts. 👉 To gain deeper insights into these mechanisms and discover effective strategies, download my free 5-step guide to mastering anxiety for good by COMMENTING "NEURO" to access it now! 🧠 XO, Kerry ❤️⚡️ . . . #nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystemregulation #neurologicalfitness #neurologicalfitnesscoach #neurofit #neurofittrainer #somaticexercises #somatichealing #anxiety #anxietytips #trauma #traumahealing #cbt #mindset #mindsetcoach #anxietytherapy #anxietyrelief #anxietyawareness #anxietysupport #mentalhealthawareness #womensmentalhealth #highperformingwomen #floridatherapist #newyorktherapist #nervoussystemcoach #holisticanxietycoach

We all know that some days can be tough, and these exercises can be very helpful to help you manage stess. The vagus nerve is one of the major nerves in our body. It starts at the base of the brain, travels behind the ears, goes down through the neck, and crosses the chest until it reaches the abdomen. It plays a huge role in regulating the autonomic nervous system, which controls our automatic functions like heart rate and digestion. On top of it, stimulating the vagus nerve can improve the communication between the brain and the gut, which is known as our second brain. And that’s why every time you gently scratch behind the ears, massage the neck, inhale through the nose followed by exhale through the mouth with a sound and shake things off, you’re stimulating the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and helping yourself to feel more calm and relaxed—especially on days when it feels that nothing is going right.

Breathwork and neurological exercises are powerful tools to regulate your nervous system and restore optimal balance in your body. In this video, we share techniques to activate the vagus nerve and support the parasympathetic system. 📌 Breathwork: Reduce stress levels, enhance circulation, and improve mental clarity through diaphragmatic breathing. 📌 Neurological Exercises: Use targeted stimuli to enhance movement capacity, reduce pain, and strengthen functional balance. Supporting your nervous system health is the foundation for building a more resilient and balanced mind-body connection. #NeuroTraining #Breathwork #VagusNerveActivation #NervousSystemHealth #FunctionalTraining #MedicalExercise #StressRegulation #ParasympatheticSupport #OptimalPerformance #MindBodyOptimization

The Vagus Nerve – A Key to Mental and Physical Well-being Did you know that the vagus nerve plays a vital role in maintaining balance within our body and mind? The vagus nerve, part of the parasympathetic nervous system, is the longest cranial nerve in our body. It connects the brain to key organs like the heart, lungs, and digestive system, regulating stress responses and promoting recovery. Scientific research highlights the importance of vagus nerve function (measured as vagal tone) in reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and supporting cardiovascular and digestive health. Improving vagal tone doesn't require complex methods. Simple daily practices can make a difference, such as breathing exercises, practicing mindfulness and meditation, cold exposure (e.g., cold showers), and listening to music or singing. Understanding the impact of the vagus nerve has practical implications for work environments. High stress levels can reduce productivity, while fostering recovery and balance can boost resilience, focus, and overall performance. Take a moment to reflect: Are you giving yourself the time and tools to support your nervous system and maintain well-being? #MentalHealth #VagusNerve #Balance #Wellbeing #Psychology
