"Thoroughly researched, clearly explained, and beautifully illustrated...[this book] provides powerful insights and actionable steps for regulating the nervous system."
--Alex Korb, Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Personal Development Coach, and Author of The Upward Spiral

A somatic approach to treating trauma, anxiety, and depression has never been more popular. Perhaps that's because recent studies show that 80% of mind-body communication originates in the body --the vagus nerve is the superhighway that facilitates this communication.

Healing Through the Vagus Nerve walks you through how the nervous system and the vagus nerve function, with approachable, non-academic language and helpful illustrations. Amanda Armstrong (founder of Rise as We) teaches all about vagal tone and the impact it has on your mental health and everyday life. Then, a variety of exercises and practices provide an adaptable approach to improving nervous system function:
  • Breathing techniques including diaphragmatic breathing, physiological sigh, voo breath, and the Valsalva technique
  • Massage techniques for the ear, neck, and abdomen
  • Visual techniques including lateral eye stretches, eye pushups, orienting, eye cupping, and gaze opening
  • Physical techniques including cold exposure, yoga, and more

Featuring relatable client stories, key details of the author's own journey healing her nervous system, and a selection of entry points to help engage with the process, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve is a complete guide to improving your stress response through optimizing your vagus nerve and nervous system.

Learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it.
