Book excerpt: This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.

Book excerpt: Have you been facing feelings of anxiety for a long time now? Have you been fighting depressing feelings, and wondering if everything is or will be alright with you in the end? *** New version *** Release date: 04-30-20. The book was revised, modified and improved. Statistics have shown that some of the highest causes of death in the world are anxiety, depression and feelings of boredom and loneliness. Our world has become one of survival of the fittest. People wake up in the morning with countless activities lined up for the day that often consume the time meant for resting and self-reflection. We go to our jobs and work hard until late in the evening and sometimes head to other events before going home for the night. When it comes to managing issues such as anxiety and stress, there are a number of things that come to mind. However, the Polyvagal Theory which was expounded by Stephen Porges and Stanley Rosenberg would turn out to be one of the best guides out there. This book will thus focus on these theories and provide many keys and tools from which to choose. Some of these will include: ● Learning the various parts of the autonomic nervous system and how they influence certain reactions ● Understanding the various reactions humans are prone to when faced with various challenging circumstances ● Learning how the polyvagal theory can be applied in your life ● Understanding how the polyvagal theory affects the management of autism and stress in general. Depression, like most mental disorders, is a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system. People suffering from depression have a sustained level of stress that keeps them unsettled and agitated. They feel a lack of motivation and drive, and their sleep is unrefreshing no matter how long it is. Normally, the vagus system uses the vagal brake to reduce the heart rate and stabilize the breathing patterns, but traumatic experiences impair the brake and leave the person in a state of imbalance. What can a person experiencing depression or trauma do in such a situation? Autism is a disorder that affects a person's communication, interests, and social interactions. The polyvagal theory shows us that autistic individuals are unable to communicate, interact with people or analyze social data normally. As a result, their bodies often read fight-flight-freeze responses and shut down. During childhood, their body remains in immobilization mode. The consequence is that they become agitated, have difficulties digesting food, and their interactions with the outside community is distorted. Their social engagement system has not been fully integrated. This condition may occur as a result of emotional trauma, fear at birth, or their vagus nerve was silence or damaged, leading to their nervous system not fully developing. So how does the polyvagal theory and Stanley Rosenberg's theory apply to them? Luckily, there are a lot of quick-and-easy ways to activate and exercise the nerve, strengthening its function and restoring your body to good health. Packed with easy-to-follow exercises and activities, this book will show you how to unlock the power of the vagus nerve to heal your body and get back to a state of balance. At the end of this book, we believe that you will have complete knowledge of the polyvagal theory and will be able to apply it to your life efficiently and effectively.

Book excerpt: ★ 55% OFF for Bookstores! LAST DAYS! ★ Are your customers looking for a self-help guide to stimulate vagal tone, relieve anxiety, and prevent inflammation? Our parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve specifically, play a crucial part in how we feel physically and emotionally. We rely on the vagus nerve to be a feedback loop to the brain, to alert the central nervous system to any ongoing issues. Discomfort is our body's way of telling us something isn't quite right, and your vagus nerve is a significant component of sensing discomfort. Discomfort can trigger vagus nerve irritation. Fear can also stimulate the vagus nerve into a negative response. Anything that gets our heart beating rapidly irritates the vagus nerve, which tries to send signals to the heart to slow down and regulate itself. When your heart rate drops rapidly after these signals, it can cause fainting. For some people, this can be a debilitating issue that affects their daily lives. Irritation or malfunction of the vagus nerve can cause a host of issues when it comes to pain, depression, and anxiety. The nerve is supposed to send a signal to the brain to release anti-inflammatory chemicals, and when it's not working as it should, some people can see a rise in joint pain and irritation. Similarly, people who are depressed or deal with anxiety may not see a relief in their symptoms if the vagus nerve is malfunctioning, and the stress of that may, in turn, worsen those conditions. This book covers: What is Vagus Nerve Main Functions of the Vagus Nerve How the Vagus Nerve Affects Anxiety How the Vagus Nerve Affects Stress Creating a Vagal Tone Routine ...and much more!
