Course overview
Course description
As we continue with our wellness exploration, we acknowledge the significance of restorative practices in the process of recovery and rejuvenation.
In 2024, the emphasis is on the importance of self care, good sleeping patterns and the growing recognition of cold therapy. These practices are pivotal, not only for our physical well-being but also for our mental health.
This course will introduce the Vagus nerve and how it can be stimulated for health and well-being. We can stimulate this extraordinary nerve by
• Eliciting a relaxation response in the body
• Countering the fight or flight system
• Promoting calmness and resilience to stress
• Ultimately regulating the body’s stress response
•
By modulating the nerve’s activity, facilitating deep breathing, and improving mood, vagus nerve stimulation contributes to relaxation and well-being, preparing the body for restful sleep, and increasing blood flow to the brain and body.
We hope you can join us in this interactive short course where will be exploring, discussing, and practising many of the techniques linked in with improving your vagus nerve health.
On this course we will cover meditation, EFT, humming, cold therapies self-massage and crystal therapy.
