Скачать или смотреть Self-Massage to Reduce Tension and Worry by Toning the Vagus Nerve with Jen McLamb, LMT, RSMT

We can't change the fact that there will be stressful experiences in our lives. But we can change how our bodies respond to them. That's why at Vital Touch Wellness, part of our mission has always been to increase your body's ability to handle stress. And the key to that is toning your parasympathetic nervous system.

Your nervous system is like a muscle.
The more you use it, the stronger it gets. When you exercise your fight or flight response (the way you feel when you're super stressed) then your body gets really good at being - well - super stressed! When you exercise your relaxation response (the way you feel when you're completely calm and focused), then your nervous system will have more space to handle stressful situations.

So get ready for a little "strength training!"
In this video, Somatic Therapist Jen McLamb teaches you three simple techniques to settle your nervous system and build calm and groundedness in the face of stress.

In our YouTube video collection, we hope to encourage and inspire you to take time every day to consciously relax. Taking just a few minutes to breathe and tune in to yourself may increase your focus, calm your mind, and give you an overall sense of well-being.
