The vagus nerve is involved in so many vital processes in our bodies. It holds the key to FLOW and RESET. Without the healthy involvement of this nerve it is impossible to bounce back from stress or illness. It is what allows us to be resilient. Certain neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin modulate how this highway of energy directs our sense of wellness. When our vagal tone is good, we have more empathy and can connect with others; we enter the flow state very easily and are ready to re-set from moment to moment. When our vagal tone is off balance it can cause a vast array of issues; everything from mood dysregulation to insomnia.
