Hello citizens of the earth, in this video I will show you a 10-

minute

routine to activate your

vagus

nerve

. First, let's talk about what the

vagus

nerve

is. The vagus nerve is a nerve that starts in your brain and runs through your body like a network. it covers all the main organs down, down, like a blanket, in Latin vagus means to wander, so this nerve descends like a net over all the main organs and it has two main functions: one is to check first to make sure that all Its organs are functioning properly, it sends signals from the brain, let's say to your heart saying: Hello heart, are you okay? and then through that nerve the heart responds yes, I'm fine and the other function of the vagus nerve is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is your rest and digest anti-stress response, in other words, if it somehow activates and It stimulates the vagus nerve, it can activate your anti-stress response in your body.

Now remember I said that your vagus nerve runs through your major organs in your body, but the problem is that your major organs are blocked by bone, fat, or other things, so it's difficult to activate that vagus nerve. However, there is a point where the threshold between the outside and inside of your body is the lowest and thinnest. Can you guess where that spot on your belly button is? So in this routine I will show you how to activate the vagus nerve that surrounds your intestine. Are you ready?

I want to note a few. things, some people have a lot of tension in their intestines, so if you have a lot of tension in your intestines, which can cause a lot of digestive problems or mental confusion, these are all symptoms that have to do with tension in your intestines, if your gut is tight so doing this just 60 times total isn't going to help you much, you have to continue to loosen your gut so you can activate deeper into the vagus nerve to initiate the anti-stress response, so if you feel like you're still tight and really You didn't go in much inside, don't worry, it's fine just with practice and repetition, as your gut loosens, you will be able to stimulate the vagus nerve more deeply to activate your anti-stress. response and on the other hand, if you can already feel the benefits because you can relax and deeply feel that you are doing very well, this is a great technique to use wherever you are to quickly activate, chemically and biologically, the anti-antibiotics in your body. -stress response this is based on science everyone has a vagus nerve regardless of their origin gender religion race none of that matters everyone has a vagus nerve and everyone's vagus nerve works the same way, it helps put starting your anti-stress response You did a great job experiencing a full hour of educational class.
