The big secret behind vagus nerve activation -- breathing meditation. This book is far to brief to be much use in learning how to breath & concentrate. There is good research going on with the parasympathtic nervous system. This book is an attempt to get in on the trending topic.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
As a former English teacher who worked with students who had learning differences, this book was painful to read. It reminded me of papers written by middle schoolers the night before they were due. Hard to follow with some misinformation and a lot of irrelevant filler. As I said, it was painful even to skim through it.
Recommended for everyone Reading level 5 th grade and above. Simple modern casual language used to explain rather complex psycho-biological functions. Simple practical exercises and lifestyle hacks to improve both physical and mental health
This is a good introductory book to the vagus nerve, with a clear and concise explanation of its functions, a few habits to improve its tone and even a few pointers on how to determine its health.
What I can take away from it is that the vagus nerve is one of the 12 craneal nerve pairs, and the only one that goes beyond the neck and shoulders, reaching all the way down to the intestines (being one of the key communication channels between the bowels and the brain), a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system, directly related to digestion, relaxation, blood pressure and even mental health.
To quote from the book: "The health of the nerve eventually dictates the health of the immune system, the brain and the overall inflammatory state".
The Polyvagal theory is briefly discussed, which helps understand trauma and PTSD, agression and withdrawal in relationships and how extreme stress leads to shutting down.
The practical part of the book deals with meditation techniques (only 2 out of the several available, breathing control and loving-kindness), along with alternating practicing yoga and taking morning walks, among other (laughing, singing, etc).
An important concept is HRV, or heart rate variability, which is an indicator of the vagus nerve tone/health. It can help in understanding how well you recover from stress, improve mental health, performance and cognition and measure the inflammation rate in your body. Exercise (Tai Chi is specifically mentioned) and fasting can help improve HRV.
The book closes with advise on a few things to avoid, including Botox (I don't think that would apply to the general population), mercury (specially present in big fish, e.g. Tuna, Swordfish, etc.) and sugar (a general instruction to lower cosumption, pointing out the obvious offenders ("chocolate and other treats"), whereas she misses mentioning the not so obvious, or even labeled as "healthy" (sports bars, gels and drinks, breakfast cereals, industrial yogurt, etc).
On this regard, the author doesn't quite make use of the evolutionary theory of human beings to expand on the importance of movement (vs sedentarism), a natural diet (vs highly processed industrial "food"), proper rest (she doesn't quite touch on any tips to improve sleep, such as temperature, light, writing todo lists before going to bed to free the mind, turning off screens at least 1hr before, etc.) and social connection (the face to face old school kind).
Overall a good book though, easy to read, well explained, not too much theory, very practical (even including a few suggested routines, adaptable to everyone's needs).
Easy enough to follow, it's broken down and simplified for sure. Seems like pretty basic guidance for the most part but does explain why a bit more. Brings to light all of the interconnectedness and emphasizes nourishing your body and making it's job easier. Some good food for thought and a few new habits to create. A quick read that seems worth the time for the most part. There were a few things mentioned I wished got more attention, but overall not bad.
"Mindfullness" nonsense. A book filled with fluff and bloat. Its only chapter worth reading, or listening to--depending if you can tolerate the woman swallowing into the mic, being tonally inconsistent, or whistling words with Sssssss, is chapter 5. Even then, if any of these breathing awareness exercises work, you didn't have any real problem to begin with. I suggest skipping the claptrap if you're serious and start transcendental meditation.
Found out some interesting facts, but it was pretty disappointing to see that the book is mostly fluff and the 'exercises' proposed are nothing else than meditation. Basically a whole book just to tell you to meditate...
Good introduction and info for general population. Skimmed most of it. As someone who wants to be a healing practitioner, I’m but now interested in finding more literature to learn more.
Simple, accessible language that anyone can understand and put into practice. A nice resource to recommend for clients who don't like to read too much and want to understand the basics to start making changes
