The Vagus Nerve functions as an integral part of our parasympathetic nervous system.
It controls ALL involuntary body processes, such as:
Heart Beat Breathing, Speech, Swallowing, Blood Pressure, Hearing, Taste, Circulation, Digestion, Gut Health, Memory, Mood, Bladder Movement, Orgasms and Fertility.
The Vagus nerve is the communication between the Gut and Brain.

A healthy Vagus Nerve allows us to access the parts of the Brain responsible for Creativity, Higher Cognition and Complex Decision making.
When the Vagus Nerve is not healthy we operate out of the primal Brain, largely in Flight or Flight response.
Stress, Anxiety and poor lifestyle (smoking, drinking, bad eating, lack of exercise or sleep) can impair its function.
This means that we need healthy nerve fibers to send signals from our internal organs to our brainstem that regulate our body’s ability to rest, digest our food, and calm ourselves adequately so that we can function optimally.
Research is catching up recently to how essential this nerve complex is.
When our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) response is triggered, we cannot benefit from the relaxation that the Vagus Nerve promotes, and therefore, the grounding and balancing of the client’s energy field will help to create a healthy baseline from which to do the specific work with the Vagus Nerve.
When the Vagus Nerve is not functioning optimumly the body and mind can become suseptible to
a range of dis-ease such as:
Depression, Anxiety, Obesity, Cardiovascular & Digestive disorders, Hypertension, Diabetes, Chronic Inflamation, Kidney Malfunction, Infertility, Parkinsons, Epilepsy, Autoimmune Disorders, Hyper-vigilance
