Simple vagus nerve exercises rooted in Polyvagal Theory to calm the nervous system and ease anxiety, depression, trauma, migraines, and chronic neck pain The bestselling guide Dr. Stanley Rosenberg, PhD, offers an easy-to-understand overview of the vagus nerve--and helps you regulate your body's innate capacity to heal from stress, trauma, anxiety, and injury. A sigh, a yawn, a swallow: these small reflexes show that the nervous system has shifted out of defense and into safety. Dr. Rosenberg's exercises are designed to bring about that shift in a minute or two. Building on Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory, Rosenberg shows how the vagus nerve and four other cranial nerves govern breathing, digestion, heart rate, and our ability to connect with others. When these nerves aren't working well, the body can stay locked in fight-or-flight or sink into shutdown. Rosenberg links those patterns to anxiety, depression, trauma, migraines, and chronic neck and back pain. Most meaningfully, instead of chasing each symptom, he works with the source. Drawing on more than thirty years as a Rolfer and craniosacral therapist, he offers: The Basic Exercise, a simple eye-movement technique that takes less than two minutes A quick self-check of vagal function by looking at the soft palate The Salamander exercises and stretches for stiff necks, tight shoulders, and forward head posture Self-massage for migraine trigger points, plus a four-minute natural facelift A clear map of the five states of the nervous system Insight into autism, sound sensitivity, and the middle ear With a foreword by Stephen Porges, this is a hands-on guide for readers who want to work through the body, not just the mind, to calm the nervous system and support emotional and physical health. Grounded in neurobiology research, clinical stories, and easy-to-follow exercises, this book gives you the tools to bring your body back into a state of safety, balance, and optimal functioning. …

Following a detailed explanation of the cranial nerves, the polyvagal theory, and how craniosacral therapy can assist with restoring proper neuroception, Rosenberg provides self-help exercises to test ventral vagal function and to improve the function of the cranial nerves. A separate chapter addresses how we might rethink common psychological problems via vagal theory, including anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as autism, ADHD, and more. Rosenberg also includes case studies throughout from his twenty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist.
When we change our emotional state from one of pain and confusion to one of wellbeing and feeling safe, we feel better, think more clearly, and have better interactions with others. The healing power of the vagus nerve removes negative feelings blocking our true potential; by restoring vagal functioning, we can naturally shift our behavior to get the most out of life.
