by Lars Lienhard, Ulla Schmid-Fetzer, Eric Cobb

The vagus nerve is the most significant component of the rest and digest parasympathetic nervous system and plays a key role in our health and wellbeing. In a world where our lives and daily rhythms are becoming increasingly demanding, being able to implement effective techniques to downregulate our own stress levels is essential to maintaining a healthy mind and body. Derived from the Latin vagus nervus meaning wandering nerve the vagus nerve is an information superhighway transmitting information between the brain and the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many organs. Backed up by the latest scientific research, this book will guide you through over 100 effective exercises that will naturally stimulate your vagus nerve and in turn help manage anxiety, depression, sleep and digestive disorders. Better regulate your own stress response through vagus nerve stimulation and experience a greater zest for life! These simple exercises work by improving the quality of stimulation the vagus nerve receives, enabling the brain to function with a greater level of predictability, safety and protection. It is this optimum level of sensory information-processing which provides a solid foundation for mental health, physical resilience and self-healing. Conversely, if this processing becomes disturbed it can lead to diminished physical, mental and emotional states that manifest in ways such as inflammation, digestive problems, anxiety, impaired immune response and sleep disturbances. This is the first book to present the subject so comprehensively and in a way that is accessible to a general audience. Anyone can apply these powerful self-help techniques; explore a variety of balance, hearing, sight, breathing and touch exercises and experience for yourself the positive impact of vagal stimulation!

Danke, das ist einfach ein fantastisches Buch! Es ist unglaublich hilfreich. Meine Tochter versuchte sich auf einen Spagat zu setzen und verletzte sich die Nerven. Ihr Buch hat uns also geholfen zu verstehen, was zu tun ist. Wissen Sie, ich finde es wirklich dumm, einen Spagat zu machen, ohne sich aufzuwärmen. Dann benötigen alle Leute https://fuessiotherapie.de/ Physiotherapie Berlin Kontakte, um ihre problematischen Verbindungen und Muskeln zu beheben. Also sagte ich es meiner Tochter, niemals ihre Gesundheit zu riskieren und sich immer aufzuwärmen. So, Physiotherapie wirkt Wunder. Aber erst haben wir Ihr Buch gelesen und dann den Arzt consultieren.

Sehr, sehr umfangreich und detailliert. Bestimmt saugut, aber mir war es viel, viel, viel ZU umfangreich, habe irgendwann komplett die Orientierung verloren und war so beladen, dass ich gar keine Lust mehr hatte, mit dem Üben anzufangen…

It offers great many different exercises to improve your health but to a level that I've found overwhelming, and I actually couldn't choose even a few to start with. I'd love to have a basic Vagus nerve 101 version of it.

This seems like a really good book - a lot of info, exercises and resources. It feels like it would be a big commitment to take it on solo without a coach - commit to exercise routines etc for the full effect. But it's created a greater sense of awareness about this area for me. I think my plan is to integrate what I can, as simply and naturally as possible.
