Vagus Nerve Activation | 10 Minute Daily Routines

Have you heard of your vagus nerve? It's a nerve that connects your brain to your gut and is in charge of (1) making sure your organs are doing ok (2) turning on your body's anti-stress parasympathetic nervous system response. Try this 10 minute routine to activate your vagus nerve to jumpstart your anti-stress response.

WHAT IS BRAIN EDUCATION TV?
Brain Education TV provides mental health and mental wellness videos to help young adults with loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The foundation of our content comes from Brain Education, an academic study from South Korea that stems from over 40 years of research and application and has been practiced by millions around the world.

WHY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH…
We suffered from high-functioning loneliness and depression our whole lives. We lived different lives in different states, but when we met, we realized we were struggling with common issues that reflected an important problem in our young adult generation. We didn’t know who we were, what we were passionate about, what we should live for, and what direction our lives were “supposed” to go. We spent a lot of time wandering in search of that magical ‘answer’ that will solve all problems (like I’m sure most of you are doing right now), and yet the further we searched outside, the more pronounced the emptiness inside of us felt.

Millions of people suffer silently from mental health related issues. Yet our society still places taboos around openly talking about relevant mental health topics like loneliness, depression, and anxiety. As a result, our young adults don’t know how to talk about it constructively, where to turn to, or what resources they have to combat this real-life threat to their wellbeing.

We credit Brain Education for giving us the courage to overcome our own mental health struggles and create the lives we want...and now we hope you can too through the videos we share on this channel.

As I was doing this for the first time, this idea popped into my head: "What if I watched these kind of videos instead of watching the daily news. " Stunning! Thank you for doing this for the world and doing it all with Love.

I’ve been doing this exercise for one week now. I feel like a whole new person. Wish I’d known about this tears ago. Would have saved me years of anxiety .

[circe]

My palpitations were getting worse, this saved me from spiralling, the resources from youtube are very underrated and better than doctors

[ApplePie..]

This is why cats purr when they are stressed out. Humming and chanting does the same thing.

for all of you coming back daily - exercise starts at 1:50

I’ve been doing this for 2 years and 6 months and I’m a new person now. This is really helpful to those people with anxiety. ❤

Crying happy tears afterwards...there is hope for my anxiety. Amen ❤

I have been doing this for 10 days….I’m 70 years old and have Lyme disease….I do feel increased saliva……the other thing I feel is a lovely strength in my spine…..thank you very much…..like a lot of people I could not afford to pay for this, I am so grateful 🙏

OMG. I’ve been having crippling anxiety nonstop just even around my house and figured it was a vagus nerve thing but had no idea it was this easy to relieve. Nothing has felt this good in months and months. I’m crossing my fingers that everyone going through the same thing finds this video. I love you all.

[rajeshdinda]

1st time after 3 months of depression & anxiety... I smiled 1st time from my soul by doing this exercises... Love u instructor

[lynny]

I have had severe constipation due to long term fight or flight stress caused by trauma. I did this routine and the very first time it helped me have a bowel movement. I will continue to do this while my body heals. Thanks you!!!

[dddilworth]

Clearly, you were looking in the windows of my childhood. It took me decades to admit to myself I’d been abused. It was just a few months ago that I was able to wrap my head around the idea (FACT) that my mom is a narcissist. I’m 60 years old. I’m finally finding my way to a sovereign Self. Thank you for this video. It’s one more step on my path to healing.

[dionysus]

I literally started laughing uncontrollably while doing this. It's like all the tension just melted away and I felt euphoric! This is going to be apart of my daily practice for sure!

[libragal]

I'm definitely a fan! My anxiety attack raised my BP to 170/112 this evening. I watched the video and did the exercises for two sessions. Now my BP is 139/96. Thank you ❣️

[kzcwgjw]

The saliva reaction, 1st time. Also, you have one of the warmest most genuine smiles I've ever seen...

[Empressco]

I suffer from a panic disorder and struggle to make it through work every day. I’m excited to start doing this every day!

[kazart]

Of all the vagus nerve exercises and techniques that I have tried, THIS one actually prevented an arrhythmia attack last night that I get when I suddenly lose my breath! I immediately felt an expansion of my chest when I stuck my fingers into my BB --NO time for a warm up! This is super awesome! I'll be doing this multiple times per day to build up MEMORY in my body so that I stay in parasympathetic state more often. Thank you so much!!!

[karlrensburg]

Hello all, I just wish you share a short story. I had a successful lung operation, however when the rib cage was torn open to gain access to the pneumonia lung, all my nerves in that region had been disconnected . Five years later and this short exercise helped that area feel heaps better . I will continue this for comfort .

[bnergetic]

I came across this video 3 weeks ago and have been doing everyday since. This has changed my life! I was not able to eat without esophageal spasms and pains in my back for 2 months before starting this. I didn't even know what a Vagus nerve was. One the first day I was able to eat without discomfort or pain and everyday there after has been more pleasurable to eat. I have expanded my food pallette to many foods I ate before the spasms started. You are doing a great service to the people by sharing your knowledge. A thousand thank you's!!!!
