Vagus Nerve Reset: How to Calm the Chaos and Restore Gut & Emotional Balance

When your digestion feels off or your mood dips for no reason, your vagus nerve might be calling for attention.
This “wandering nerve” links your brain, heart, and gut—quietly guiding how you digest food, regulate stress, and experience emotion.

Why the Vagus Nerve Is Key to Gut Health

The vagus nerve is your body’s natural reset button.
When it’s healthy and active, your heart rate steadies, digestion flows, and your thoughts become clear.
When it’s weak or over-stressed, symptoms often appear as:

• Bloating or slow digestion

• Anxiety or low mood

• Poor sleep or shallow breathing

• Feeling “wired but tired”

Strengthening vagal tone helps the body shift from stress to healing mode—what we call the parasympathetic state.

From Stress to Strength: Building Courage Through Calm

A healthy vagus nerve helps you respond to stress with balance instead of burnout.
Calm isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing it from a centered place.
This is where true courage lives: the ability to stay grounded and open even when life feels uncertain.

Bee Breath: A Simple Vagus Nerve Practice

The Bee Breath (Bhramari) from Kundalini Yoga activates the vagus nerve naturally.
It sends soothing vibrations through the chest and sinuses—like an internal massage for your nervous system.

How to Practice:

1. Sit tall, shoulders relaxed.

2. Inhale softly through your nose.

3. Exhale with a low, humming “mmm” sound—like a calm bee.

4. Feel the vibration travel through your body.

5. Repeat for 5–7 rounds.

This practice can reduce stress, calm digestion, and quiet mental noise within minutes.

Courage Blend: Plant Allies for Emotional Strength

When paired with mindful breathing, essential oils can deepen the reset.
My Courage Blend combines oils that nurture both body and spirit—helping you release tension and reconnect to your inner strength.

Apply a drop over your heart, the back of your neck, or the solar plexus before meditation or sleep.
Let the aroma remind you that calm and courage can coexist.

Try this simple nighttime ritual to activate healing and rest:

These small, consistent moments retrain your nervous system to rest, digest, and trust again.
