Book excerpt: Are you struggling with IBS, Crohn's Disease, constipation, IBD, or other gut issues, and nothing is helping? If you have tried everything and aren’t feeling better, your vagus nerve might be the culprit. Trauma, chronic stress, or surgery can damage your vagus nerve and put you into a perpetual state of fight, flight, freeze, instead of rest, digest, and heal. When the vagus nerve isn’t working properly, there is a lack of communication between the gut and the brain. This makes it hard for your body and your gut to function properly. “The Vagus Nerve Gut-Brain Connection: Heal Your Vagus Nerve and Improve Gut Health,” gives you easy exercises to stimulate your vagus nerve. There are really simple things you can do, like breathing in certain patterns, that train your body to turn off your stress response, allowing the vagus nerve to put you into a state where you can rest, digest, and heal. This practical, concise guide gives you actionable steps you can easily take to improve the function of your vagus nerve in just a few minutes a day. Special bonus chapter is included to help you heal your child's vagus nerve. Includes information on how to tone your child's vagus nerve and how to help them get into the important rest digest, and heal state they need to have a healthy gut. In Meditations to Soothe the Vagus Nerve, we will explore how to use guided meditation, mantra-based meditations, EFT, and mindful visualization to restore balance to the nerve. We will also explore breathing exercises designed to activate the vagus nerve and bring us back to a peaceful state. Finally, the book offers practical advice on how to incorporate these meditations into your daily life to help you restore your vagus nerve to full functioning. With step-by-step instructions, this book will help readers understand the connection between the vagus nerve and relaxation and will provide meditative techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and digestion, and enhance overall well-being. With the help of this book, you’ll be able to soothe the vagus nerve and enter a state of rest, digest, and heal.
