6-Minutes of Movement to Heal Vagus Nerve and Increase Resilience

[@deniserouthierledoux8133]

I checked this video out this morning---I’m almost 69 years old, I am stuck in the fight flight mode, hoping this plus Justins 2 meditation videos I found yesterday will give me some relief. Thank you Justin

[@dannyclaringbold2416]

You can add in EFT tapping and breathing work.

[@Stargazer1722]

I have been in vagus nerve hell for almost 9 months to a year, acupuncture and your exercises have put the vagus nerve back in to a relaxed state! 😊 thank you❤

[@loveemmajean1090]

This was a wonderful way to start the day. So helpful for my body, thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@adelebest4740]

Wow thank you. I am so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏 I have suffered extreme PTSD post Narcissitic abuse plus became a workaholic over a screen so now I know why I feel so terrible and have weight gain it’s not just ‘hormones’ I will do these thanks !

[@janettesmith5541]

Brilliant, thank you.

[@yvonne.p]

Thank you for sharing this and for your openness in sharing your life experience!

[@GloriaCote-o1c]

Thank you Justin for the mini yoga class. Love it.

[@jamiebabb4471]

Hey Justin enjoyed watching the new video.. will add this in a to my routine as is comfortable. Always great to get new ideas on the Vagus challenge! Thanks Jamie 🙏

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thanks Jamie. A new video each week.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thanks Jamie. I am so pleased you enjoyed it and that you will add it to your routine. I love these few simple movements each day. 🙏❤️

[@missk7001]

Every one of your poses is part of my yoga routine but I really love the idea of incorporating this into my day. Not many work places give you the opportunity and privacy to do some of these positions.

[@JustinCaffrey]

You can do it! I think it is worth finding some colleagues who want to practice in work with you. Start small and a facility / room will be found.

[@boupha5072]

Thank you so much, love your work, you're now my light.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thank you. 😃🙏

Thank you for this

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thanks. 🙏

[@jannetteperson8534]

Wonderful exercises. I found myself to be a bit tight (especially in my neck where I had a fusion), but as I do it daily I'm sure I'll loosen up.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Yes, you will. Let me know how you get on. Thanks, Justin

[@lizp5449]

Thank you so much

[@arunchettoor]

The same postures combined is called as Suryanamaskara in yoga.

[@sanjhbati4582]

Yes that's true

[@jonnakaasinen497]

❤️ thank you so much for this ❤️

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thanks Jonna 🙏

[@JenP2776]

Can this help relieve Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? I feel as though my trap muscles are so tight and knotted that I feel like I can’t push down and away hard enough to have the intended benefit.

[@one497]

Thankyou

[@JustinCaffrey]

You are most welcome. 🙏

[@vanessaking-stumbo3308]

Do you have any exercises for Covid long haulers with high heart rate?

[@alicedent8864]

Namaste🙏🏼

[@JustinCaffrey]

And to you 🙏❤️

[@bhaskarshroff734]

A big thank you Justine

[@bevjacobs9995]

Would you suggest to Buy a vagus nerve stimulator?

[@sallygreavesbrown1396]

Thanks for the sequence. Very helpful. It's advisable for folk to use a mat and not wear sox.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Absolutely, but I also want to let people know they can practice without a map, don’t feel the financial burden. 🙏❤️

[@nathangilles2839]

Very helpful

[@alexuk8721]

Hey Justin. I suffer from severe depression, anxiety and insomnia. Can working on the Vegas nerve help with all this? Thanks for the great content

[@alexuk8721]

@@rabooshka101 Thank you for the kinds words. I want better sleep but find I can't actually fall asleep for days at a time. It's very frustrating.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Wise words 😃🙏

[@JustinCaffrey]

Yes, it really can. That’s how I started out in my path to heal depression and ptsd.

[@JustinCaffrey]

Hi Alex, it did for me. That’s why I started this journey and I am so passionate about sharing the resources I used. I hope you can explore more of my content. 🙏

[@JustinCaffrey]

You need to sustain routine and structure. Anxiety, stress and depression love stagnation. Lifestyle changes are key. 🙏

[@stephaniewilliams31]

I always watch new content first. I like the stretching. Not sure if I can do some of these yet. 9 months out from a cervical lamenectomy. Are the legs supposed to remain straight when you bend over to grab your shins/toes? Thank you

[@JustinCaffrey]

Yes, ideally keep your legs straight. Grab as low as you can and keep working on getting a little lower each time. Wishing you well with your recovery.

[@l.k.2337]

Research says to never do forward folds. Dangerous. And especially without bending knees. This is double dangerous. Don't do.

[@JustinCaffrey]

@@l.k.2337 thanks Lynna. Nobody needs to fold forwards, we are just moving with our bodies. If you are unable to do it, don’t force it. If you can move a little then great. This is mindful movement, the key is awareness of you and your body.

[@trejea1754]

Not all of us are hunched over a computer all day. What about those of us who are pushing a broom, mop, and vacuum cleaner?

[@JustinCaffrey]

Thanks for your comment Trejea. The problem is that even those pushing a broom, are likely to be on an smartphone too. Many teenagers don’t use laptops too often, but have neck problems due to social media.

[@taniamjohnson6165]

I have pretty bad anxiety and as such I am struggling with getting my daughter to school. Stumbled across this today and hoping that it will help. But I have scoliosis and wondering if this would be a factor?

[@JustinCaffrey]

Be mindful or your body and adapt where you need to. The moves are very slow and you do not need to push yourself, the idea is to do just enough. You may also like to try this other exercise that most people find very beneficial. Aim to do it 6 times a day. Do it in two sets of three. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3iphaOLoMl7jaM

[@taniamjohnson6165]

@@JustinCaffrey thank you for getting back to me,I appreciate it. I will definitely be interested to see how it helps. 17 years of anxiety is enough. Something has to help.

[@bredaodwyer2150]

For sure you rock .your movements whilst deliberating in the topic while move soo in syn.gd job Justin kudos big time.im no sure but you been Irish may help.soo sophisticated .gott a say it out loud you have special talent further more found u channel two day ago.the content is alive.i will purchase da courses.have gd day!!!

[@Gong14921]

What caused your anxiety? Sorry to hear about your situation

[@superhero6621]

Hey Justin, I'm suffering from nerve pain, tingling, muscle tremors etc. All over my body post taking the vaccine. Could these exercises help me to get cured?

[@dianedoodles7706]

Gosh - sorry to see this :(

[@binathere2574]

Look up Caring Medical on KZbin. He speaks about the vagus nerve and covid. This might help you. He has many videos I don't know which one

[@violetgypsie]

Can you possibly make a video that does not include yoga poses? Thank you.

[@JustinCaffrey]

These movements come from Mindful Movement, which is Yoga. I don’t understand why you don’t want them included. Yoga is the entry to meditation. It was key to my own recovery and helps millions of people around the world.

[@violetgypsie]

@@JustinCaffrey Because I am not a Hindu or a Buddhist.

[@JustinCaffrey]

@@violetgypsie either am I. They are just stretching exercises for your back and neck. No problem if you don’t like them. 👏

[@jessicaburgers]

Does it already help your vagus nervu when you do this 1 time a day?

[@JustinCaffrey]

Yes, but the more you do, the better the result. Please see my latest video which is a 30 minute Masterclass.

[@jessicaburgers]

@@JustinCaffrey so do this video more times a day?

[@meekellassidddiq4608]

Like you said the capacity to work over long period of time isn’t good. Nurses need to do away with 12 hr shifts. It’s horrible and unhealthy!!

[@arzoo9221]

What about ahedonia?

[@jessicaburgers]

Why does this stretching heal the vagus nerve?

[@JustinCaffrey]

We have some really good research into the vagus nerve and posture. Increased use of phones and tablets lead to poor posture in neck and back. fMRI scans are revealing damaged ganglia in the Vagus nerve due to posture. Stretching really helps here. It also lifts mood.

[@jessicaburgers]

@@JustinCaffrey but does one time a day doing this exercises help? Because i dont think that i get another posture by stretching one time a day?

[@jessicaburgers]

@@JustinCaffrey and why stretching lifts mood?

[@jessicaburgers]

@@JustinCaffrey can you please answer?
