Spending time at the beach has been shown to activate the Parasympathetic side of your Nervous System, which produces a feeling of relaxation and calm in the mind and body ๐ŸŒผ

Itโ€™s amazing, but true: there is a neurological system in your body that you can trigger at will to help yourself feel less stressed, at ease, and happier.

The vagus nerve is a key part of your parasympathetic nervous system. Itโ€™s also the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. It runs from the brain through to the abdomen.

It influences your breathing, digestive function and heart rate, all of which can have a huge impact on your mental health.

Breathing deeply immediately relaxes the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, which in turn, shuts off the 'fight or flight' reflex by calming the sympathetic side of your nervous system

Take a moment to activate the Parasympathetic wing of the Autonomic Nervous System by way of full, deep breaths:

๐Ÿ”” On the inhale, fill your lungs fully, hold for a few seconds or so, and then e x h a l e s l o w l y.

Exhaling slowly is the key to stimulating the vagus nerve and reaching a state of relaxation.
๐Ÿ”” Do this 3-5 times for immediate results

Other ways to naturally stimulate the Vagus Nerve are:

1. Cold Showers & Swims โ„๏ธ๐Ÿšฟ
2. Singing & Humming
3. Exercise ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ

Sanctuary

Water, oh water!
move through me
unbroken
Let my body be your bed
my naked feet your boat
your current my wild
your stillness my sacred
my breath your
unspoken.
