The pandemic has impacted all of our lives in multiple ways. During periods of stress, the physiological effects of our bodies’ prolonged stress response can create a multitude of health problems over time. Chronic pain, anxiety, mood swings, and gut inflammation can be signs of nervous system fatigue. The need to prioritize effective ways to regulate our stress response, improve well-being, and build resilience, is therefore, paramount.
The good news is that we have an inbuilt mechanism to regulate how we respond to stress - the Vagus Nerve. In fact, due to the importance of this single nerve, stimulation of the Vagus Nerve through surgically implanted electronic devices is being done in the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy and depression. Further research is being conducted into its use in the treatment of several other conditions including autoimmune diseases like tinnitus and fibromyalgia as well as lifestyle induced non-communicable conditions such as hypertension, migraines, and even obesity. If you are looking to connect with yourself better, and learn non-invasive, cost-effective, time-tested ways to help yourself live a better life, then this experiential workshop is for you.

We will explore:
- The nature of mind, body and spirit/consciousness and how we can use them to our advantage;
- The body’s natural regulatory system: the Vagus Nerve and its function in the stress response;
- Simple practices to stimulate the Vagus Nerve naturally and;
- Effective Mindfulness based Cognitive and Behavioral techniques to facilitate a healthier stress response; decrease physical and emotional distress and boost overall healing.
