How To Do A Vagus Nerve Massage

[@andrewtayloruk82]

Have had trouble sleeping recently. Did this for a few minutes per ear and i struggled to keep my head up straight and nearly fell fast asleep. Will be doing this every day from now on. 🙏

[@gooshygooshywoowoo]

Thank you Nicole. Very frustrating and maddening that this type of exercise is not taught in schools. So simple and so effective.

[@jamesjdm]

what type of schools? My Master's program did include this FDA approved treatment method training.

OMG!!! I suffer from artial fibrillation, I’d been in AFib for nearly 8 hours. My anti arrhythmia drugs weren’t working. I was thinking about calling for help, then found this post as I’d heard vagus nerve stimulation can help. I did the ear technique to described and I kid ye not, I resorted to normal sinus rhythm with 3 minutes……unbelievable. Amazing.

[@katykern5947]

As a relaxation specialist and manual therapist, I believe this is crucial information for self-healing. There are several other simple techniques you can do with your ear that will also help down-regulate the nervous system. Due to the tentorium proximity, which the vagus nerve runs through, to temporal bones and the ear, so much can be done for relaxation on this spot of the body. I see it with my clients all the time. Thank you for sharing this info!

Hey do you have a channel or a website? Thanks

[@ejjacob7382]

Sometimes just wearing ear plugs; some foam ear plugs helps, and stimulate the vegus nerve to stop coughing.

[@anneakinyi4916]

Thanks for the information

Which techniques?

[@zodiacstar0]

I sighed, yawned, then felt the need to stretch out my body. This was so relaxing and I noticed my breathing slowing down incredibly. Such a huge relief. Thank you so much!

[@tillybumbilly]

Omg I do this all the time and had no idea I was doing a vagus nerve massage. I'm extremely anxious all the time, so no wonder why I love it.

[@prongs1998ggmu]

clearly not helping if youre still nervous all the time

No wonder I always feel better after acupuncture. My integrative medicine doctor usually puts 10 needles in each ear. Thank you for this, it’s very helpful. ❤️

[@Snowystardust12]

This caused deep belly exhales, and improved my proprioception (which I badly lack). Also released some neck and shoulder tension. Happened in that order and makes sense. Thank you!

[@amywebb-anxietytofreedompr631]

Awesome to see how immediate the results are with this!

[@nicsalter3795]

Thank you Nicole. My breathing slowed and deepened immediately.

[@unknownunknown-lg4vc]

This is why cleaning my ears is so satisfying! Thank you! I'll be doing this more often & sharing the technique!

Love it. It makes me sigh and yawn (a lot of yawning!). Feel nice and chilled now.

Thank uou Nicole for this fantastic and amazing video about our most important nerve.

[@rosalieargenta364]

Is this done daily on both ears?. I’m really confused about when and why . Can you give us some instructions? Is this massage done when you feel the need. On both ears. How long to massage? Five seconds? Rosalie

[@Dianaxox3]

My left ear hurt, but im still yawning like crazy. Could sleep like a baby. Thank you.

[@KittyFoxArtWorld]

Wow, that was incredibly relaxing and so simple! Thank you❤

[@mizMissusS]

Thank you. I did the second massage on my right ear and was surprised fhat it became a bit tender even when gently massaging it. It helped the bloated feeling on my stomach. I had done some soothing massage on my upper gi tract prior to the ear massage and both seem to go in tandem with each other. I felt much better. :)

[@CarinaCRamos]

Thank you so much it help me a lot with my breathing! ❤🤗

[@kristazendenberg1545]

this made me shudder, sigh, cry, swallow, breathe deep, and moan all with intense relief and then pleasure. what the actual heck. thank you thank you thank you.

This is new to me !! Greatly appreciated Doc, I definitely felt an almost instant sensation of calmness on the first one. Is there any reason why you do not do both ears at the same time ??

[@cjharris80]

Works great 👍🏾! Thank you 🙏🏾😊❤️

[@jadenpierce5085]

Wow the relief and effect of this is so much more immediate than anything else I have tried to calm my nervous system. But - after a few seconds of feeling relieved and amazing, I started bawling and also felt a sharp pain at the tip of my thumb for a minute. I’m guessing the crying is normal as a release as I’ve obviously been holding a lot in. But am I not being gentle enough? I’m scared to try again because I don’t want to damage my nerves further (I already have nerve issues)

[@sundaymoon000]

I felt so much crunching noises with the last touch point on my right ear.

I felt pressure in my head, particularly between eyes, forehead, and base of skull. Reminded me of low-grade migraine. I wonder what that means

[@MrHari888]

I’ve been trying this as I watched the video, and I’m noticing that I have been experiencing some level of irritation feeling wise at the places I touched. Could that be indicative of an underlying issue with the vagus nerve that continually doing this could help?

[@Ra-sb2ln]

I’m reading your book and I have a question about the parent that molds and shapes the child. There was a negative connotation placed on this concept, so what would be a positive way to “guide” a child’s life w/o the negative effects of “molding and shaping”

[@ritaevergreen7234]

@@LoveByDesign i think this falls under the molding and shaping versus nurturing debate. Nurturing allows the child to basically explore who they are and be who they are while molding and shaping can do harm to a child even if it means well. For example the parents can believe in religion and practice it but the child grows up and decides he wants to explore other faiths or be non religious. This can create conflict from the parents since the parents invested time into molding the child to take a certain way of being that doesn’t align with the child. This leans more on maybe something less extreme like forcing a child to be in a sport they don’t enjoy to make a parent happy. This kinda goes deeper with values being instilled that can be debated on being in the category of shaping/molding vs nurturing.

[@Sainato1981]

Loved the video. This made me feel nauseous. Not calm at all. Did anyone else have that experience?

0:42 What is your ridge? It would be cool if she put a dot of the picture of the ear to show where she means. Okay when she put the green on the bottom, I could kind of tell where she meant for the top. Would be nice to confirm I have the right spot on the top.
