This 8-minute meditation stimulates the longest nerve in the body, the vagus nerve, to calm the nervous system. Using humming and breathing techniques, we will slow the heart rate, deepen the breath, and support balancing the nervous system.

The vagus nerve informs the parasympathetic nervous system, or our "rest and digest" mode. It travels through the core of our bodies, touching the vocal cords, heart, lungs, and digestive tract. Signs of nervous system dysfunction include fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, anxiety, and depression. By giving some love to the nervous system, we can help it to reset and restore balance in our bodies.

Now more than ever, we are offering and receiving the phrase "sending love" to each other, to the world. This practice holds space for sending love, first to ourselves, and then to others in need. I hope this practice leaves you feeling wrapped in love, and connected to others.
