OMG Gerard! I LOVE this! I am a college yoga professor and I am looking for videos that **simply** explain vagus nerve toning, amygdala hijack prevention, and HPA axis management via yoga/meditation to create body mind soul unity. My intention is to encourage my students to create "yoga solutions" around stress response awareness and management. Can you point me to other videos you might have? Much appreciated!🧘‍♀🙏

Is amygdala a mental illness like bipolar ? I'm Sorry because I have a mental illness and I don't know what it is exactly .

What the amygdala does to me is when I see certain words, I think about the confusion and unfairness of language and begin to rage like a bull in a china shop. And I just want it to stop, dammit!
