Vagus Nerve
I attended the Zen Zoom earlier tonight and the vagus nerve came up during a discussion on calming the nervous system.
I found my chat with AI that talked about how this can in a roundabout way also help with manifestation. Basically because it's easier to manifest from a relaxed calm, 'rest & digest' state. Here's the AI response: VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION EFFECTS: 1. Calms Stress Response: - Slows heart rate - Lowers blood pressure - Reduces anxiety (cortisol levels drop) 2. Activates Relaxation Response: - Releases calming neurotransmitters: GABA, dopamine, serotonin - Promotes feelings of trust, relaxation, and openness 3. Increases Brain Wave Coherence: - Synchronizes alpha, theta, delta brain waves – ideal for manifestation, intuition, and calm focus 4. Boosts Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS): - Opposes "fight or flight" – instead promotes "rest, digest, manifest" 5. Links Brain to Heart and Gut: - Enhances intuition, emotional awareness, and subconscious mind access – perfect for manifestation! By stimulating the vagus nerve, we calm doubts, access subconscious mind, and enter a state ideal for manifesting
