Healing stress in the nervous system is complex, but it doesn’t have to be complicated all the time!
I love the Basic Exercise because it’s SIMPLE, QUICK and EFFECTIVE at supporting nervous system health!
Basic Exercise comes from Stanley Rosenberg’s book Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve, I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book for yourself and a friend!
You’re probably familiar with the vagus nerve by now, if not, read this: 2 nervous system terms to learn this year!
benefits of the Basic Exercise
Basic Exercise helps to restore proper alignment of the vertebrae, especially the cervical 1 (C1) and cervical 2 (C2) vertebrae of the neck, increasing range of motion in the neck and spine.
It also increases blood flow to the brainstem for optimal functioning of the cranial nerves, especially the ventral vagal branch of the vagus nerve.
When the ventral vagal branch of the vagus nerve is functioning well, we are less anxious, overwhelmed, hopeless, helpless, frustrated, chaotic… and more clear, creative, focused and joyful!
Once you learn the practice, it only takes about 2 minutes!!!
Life constantly presents us with stressors, you can use this 2-minute practice to remind your nervous system to come back into balance or harmony.
