Techniques For Toning The Vagus Nerve

10-Minute-a-day Techniques For Toning The Vagus Nerve To Support The Overwhelmed Nervous System 
Discover how to safely and effectively tone the vagus nerve to support you in bringing the nervous system back to a calmer and more regulated
state where you, your loved ones, or your clients are able to thrive again. When your nervous system is supported – you are supported
Traumatic experiences have the chance to offer us growth. However, they can also compromise the nervous system and cause us to live from
a place of chronic anxiety.
In turn, this can leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and helpless, finding it challenging to understand and regulate our emotions and
triggers.
However, according to lead trauma expert Dr. Stephen Porges, the key to supporting the nervous system in moving from a state of chronic fear
and stress to a calmer and more regulated state is through the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve - starting at the brain and connecting to the gut, liver, heart, and lungs - is responsible for helping our body return back to a
calm and more regulated state after a trauma response.

This is why a weak vagus nerve is associated with difficulty regulating emotions, whereas a
strengthened vagus nerve is associated with emotional stability and resilience.
Thankfully, there is a way to increase the tone of the vagus nerve to support you in moving to a place
of emotional stability. 
This way, you can feel supported during difficult times when you need it most.
With the consultation of our top experts in polyvagal theory and somatic therapies, Rewire Therapy
has brought together expert-approved vagal toning exercises that can slowly and gently help to calm
the overwhelmed nervous system. 
With these exercises and enough time, you can help yourself, your loved ones, or your clients soothe
and support the overwhelmed nervous system to move you towards a calmer and more regulated
state. 
Introducing The Vagal Toning Program: 10-Minute Techniques For Toning The Vagus Nerve To
Heal The Traumatized Nervous System 
 
Including Seven Vagal Toning Techniques:

Day 1: Nurturing Touch For Emotional Regulation And Vagus Reset This practice focuses on strengthening our vagus nerve through self-
touch. This exercise focuses on working with stored trauma within the body.
Day 2: Breath And Vocal Toning For Vagus Reset Trauma can cause us to move into spaces of fight or flight- causing the body and mind to
become activated. When we find ourselves in that state, these are good breathwork exercises to explore.
Day 3: Vagal Toning Of The Abdomen - Breath and Movement Exercise This exercise focuses on vagal toning with abdominal exercises to
release any traumatic memories and energy held in the abdominal area. This exercise works with the sides of our bodies
Day 4: Vagal Toning Of The Abdomen - Abdominal Massage This exercise focuses on polyvagal toning with abdominal exercises to release
any traumatic memories and energy held in the abdominal area. This exercise works with the center of our bodies.
Day 5: Vagal Toning Through The Eyes This exercise focuses on softening the muscles around the eyes. We hold a lot of tension in our eyes-
learning to relax the eye muscles helps to relax our bodies
Day 6: Healing Touch For Vagal Toning - Eyes And Face This exercise involves eye tracking as well as gentle neck stretches and upper body
movement. This exercise helps to orientate ourselves in an attempt to bring ourselves back into a settled, calming space.
Day 7: Dissolving The Freeze State This exercise focuses on the rewiring of the polyvagal system with very gentle rocking motions of the pelvis
and the spine to wake up the dormant energy that often resides in the abdomen after a traumatic experience.
