A csakrák és a bolygóideg - Töltekezz a finomenergiák és idegrendszered gyógyító találkozásából

by C.J. Llewelyn M.Ed. LPC, Gabriella Juhász (Translator)

A bolygóideg a test leghosszabb és legbonyolultabb idege. A koponyából indul ki, és információkat közvetít a test legfontosabb rendszerei, például az agy, az emésztőrendszer és a szív főbb szervei között. Egyik fő feladata a test nyugalmi állapotának fenntartása.
A csakrák - testünk láthatatlan energiaközpontjai - a főbb ideghálózatokhoz kapcsolódnak, amelyek a bolygóidegen keresztül minden belső szervünkhöz elérnek. E két rendszer tökéletes összhangjának köszönhetően képesek vagyunk meggyógyítani a múltat, és megtisztítani testünket azoktól az intenzív reakcióktól, amelyek már nem szolgálnak minket.
A csakrák és a bolygóideg megtanít arra, hogyan azonosíthatod az idegrendszered által küldött információkat, és mit tudsz tenni a rendszer megnyugtatásáért. Felfedezheted, hogy az egyes csakrák milyen pszichológiai dimenziókat rejtenek, és megtanulhatod, hogy a fájdalom elől nem menekülni kell, hanem fel kell dolgozni. A több mint negyvenöt gyakorlatot és feladatot tartalmazó könyv bemutatja, miként tudod a legjobban aktiválni az energiáidat, és megtanít bízni a testedben.

Ha valaha is küzdöttél szorongással, depresszióval vagy érzelemszabályozási nehézségekkel; ha úgy gondolod, hogy gyermek- vagy felnőttkorodban traumatikus találkozásokon estél át; ha testi szenvedést okoznak egy trauma következményei; akkor ez a könyv neked szól. Tulajdonképpen mindenkinek szól, aki nem akar tovább menekülni a testében kialakuló szenvedés elől, és szeretne információt gyűjteni arról, hogyan gyógyíthatja meg magát.

I’m not sure what the point of this book was, to be honest. The part about the vagus nerve in each chapter for each chakra read more like an add-on to fit the book title than explaining the relevance to the chakra itself.

Another thing, most of the exercises were of the journaling kind with prompts, which again wasn’t clear to me how different they were from just regular prompts anyone can look up in a self-therapy book, or what they contributed to heal the chakra in question or subdue the vagus nerve.

The author did a poor job of showing the connection between the chakras and the vagus nerve. She also prefaced or post faced all of her guidance with comments equivalent to "only do this under the treatment of a licensed therapist", which makes me wonder what the point of her book is if you shouldn't do anything without professional help.

Loved this book....so much information on trauma. As a yoga student and teacher/partner, I had some rudimentary Chakra knowledge, but Ms. Llewelyn gave me the deep dive in a way that was both scientific and spiritual. The vagus nerve is just something I recently started learning about. I have suffered with PTSD for years, and this is one of the most informative and encouraging books I've read on the subject of healing. Would recommend to anyone truly seeking healing!

Loved the idea of this book and it was as easy read despite the dense material. I wish there was more expansion at the tie in between the chakras and vagus nerve. I have a deep background in studying both, so I could thread the sections together with additional information but I think this would be a difficult book for someone brand new to either topic to begin with. Overall, good supplemental resource.

Excelente libro para aprender cómo se conectan los chakras con el nervio vago y diferente técnicas para enraizarnos y reducir el estrés del sistema nervioso.

Loved it and helped expand my knowledge on the connection between the chakras and vagus nerve. Adding to my references books section.

What a fantastic book! In previous chakra books, I learned that chakras are just another term for nerve centers in your body, and those nerve centers impact your physical and spiritual health in certain ways. THIS book dives even deeper into the nervous system and how it stores experiences and trauma and how our chakras are affected accordingly. I learned so much about myself through this book. She goes over each chakra, how it's connected to the Vagus nerve (which is how our brain sends and receives signals in our body), details ways these chakras are impacted and how our body reacts physically to that, gives us an example with a story of one of her clients, and then gives us some exercises to help bring awareness and healing. I cried in trying some of these exercises and learning about myself and my responses. This book makes me want to try therapy so that I can be better. It's definitely a must-read for body to spirit connection. I am adding it to my resource library so I can refer back to the exercises and suggested reading list. Five out of five stars! I saw that she has another book coming out soon! I'll have to read that too!

Chakras and the Vagus Nerve has an interesting premise and does a decent job introducing the connection between the nervous system and subtle energy concepts. Some sections are informative and approachable, especially for readers newer to vagus nerve regulation or chakra theory. That said, the content felt fairly surface-level at times and repetitive in places, and it didn’t go as deep as I was hoping into practical application or integration. Overall it’s an okay read, but the author’s second book was noticeably better structured, more engaging, and more useful. If you’re choosing between the two, I’d recommend starting with the second one.

[Peter Clegg · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author believes that everyone’s internal experience is different. I think that is a kind way of looking at differing belief systems. This book has a lot of warm counseling talk which was unexpected but helpful. The discussion on the vagus nerve/chakras connection was a lot more grounded than my previous perception believe it would be. There are some experiences that the author has had that I find hard to believe and I don’t relate to a lot of her religious thinking. But there is enough helpful material in here to outweigh the things that I cannot related to.

[Milou Dijksterhuis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Het is op zich een goed boek die het spirituele/energetische koppelt aan de wetenschap en daardoor niet zweverig of twijfelachtig, verder ook praktisch met veel voorbeelden en oefeningen. Dit is ook de reden dat ik ermee ben gestopt. Ik wil vooral de basis leren, maar de praktische opdrachten (die prima zijn) zijn gewoon niet handig als ik gewoon even op de bank zit of in bed lig om te lezen. Daarnaast zijn die oefeningen ook vaak met ogen dicht meditatie, en dan stap voor stap uitgeschreven alleen dat lezen werkt uiteraard niet tijdens meditatie 😂

This book was incredible! I am so entranced by the vagus nerve. It's remarkable that this nerve is related to so many emotions in our body. With simple exercises and reflections we can promote health and well-being by relaxing this nerve. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

CJ Llewelyn gives a great introduction to chakras and the vagus nerve. Llewelyn expands on how our mind and body are impacted by trauma. This book is a great resource for clinicians who are looking for additional resources to incorporate into their practice.

[An · Rating 5 out of 5]

Practical, well structured, and easy to understand. Plus, great to see a work that builds bridges between these two very helpful approaches to healing pain and trauma in the body - polyvagal theory and the chakra system. The polyvagal part could at times have been deepened, though.

More like 4.5.

I wish she would have gone just a little bit deeper with the topic some chapters seemed extremely rushed. Overall great info and exercises

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

You read this book once and then you go back to understand the energy and your nervous system. This is a good book to understand your body and especially your nervous. A good way to heal yourself.

[Karen Bottrell Turlay · Rating 1 out of 5]

Chapter 10 has the Saint Germain cult info

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book gave me some good insights about the chakras but I was hoping to get a better understanding of the vagus nerve.

[Alexandra Raquel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This will explain how your internal explains your external through science, psychology, and spirituality. Absolutely phenomenal a must read before 25. And if your beyond 25 READ this thang asap
