- This exercise uses specific, strategic positioning of the eyes and head to send body messages of safety to the brain. Once the brain receives and believes that you are truly safe, it will relax in the form of a yawn, sigh or swallow - leaving you feeling more calm, centered and grounded.

Thank you. I’m grieving the loss of my precious 18 year old daughter and I’m suffering. Every night I struggle to breathe and this instantly calmed me. Thank you from my broken heart. 💚

My very deepest condolences. 😥
I’m so sorry to hear this 😢 sending you lots of love 💗
🙏🏼
I know what you are going through. I have no magic advice. It sucks. You just have to go on. I hope you have someone it helps.
The Vagus Nerve Reset -
1. Lay down, settle and focus your attention and awareness to the presence of your hands behind the base of your head; where your head and your skull meets.
2. Move your eyes in the direction of 3 o’clock.
3. Maintain until you: Yawn, Swallow or Sigh. (Note: depending how stressed your nervous system is, this can take 10 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes).
That’s it. Thanks Renee Ostertag.
Thanks ... ☺ Renee's mention of the yawn bit in the video was indistinct to my ear and now clarified.
@@clive3100 You’re welcome. 😊
Thanks 🙏🏽
@@catherine9808You’re welcome, Catherine. 😊
I just did this exercise and it worked! I had this huge sigh!!
I'm glad Monica from friends became a relaxation expert. She was always highly strung.
😂 😂 😂
Omg agree😂
she's jewish
@@jackluedtke6432 So were the Gellars
This is not Monica Courtney Cox
I was skeptical. UA-cam recommended this to me, no idea why because it’s not my thing, BUT Just tried this and it’s unbelievable… at first nothing happened after getting into position and moving my eyes towards three o clock… I felt stupid but just kept the position… and about 90 seconds in I had the biggest SIGH (the kind where you suck in three breaths like after crying) and exhaled. I feel utterly relaxed and amazing. THANK YOU
You are so welcome! We had to share the exercise because it is truly unbelievable until you try it for yourself.
Keep it up !
I yawned INSTANTLY... insane. I'm a massage therapist and I'll be using this with my clients as well! Thank you!
I am very tense after suffering a trauma. Before this exercise I could move my head to the left just a little but after this exercise I felt I was able to move it properly also to the left. My whole body relaxed and as I was so relaxed I also decided to go early to bed and I had a really good sleep !
What I don´t understand is HOW such a simple exercise can have such a strong effect ??
You're Welcome! So happy you are able to add this helpful tool to your practice💚
@@staffanlundberg So thankful this exercise was able to provide you with such relief! Sometimes the simplest things can have the biggest effects 💚
I am a Massage Therapist also and plan to use this
I tried this and I yawned instantly. But what I need to ask is - I was looking with both eyes to 3 o'clock, i.e. to the right and just that. Is that correct? Looking to the left would be 9 o' clock. Thx for explaining.
I’m amazed at how my body fought this simple exercise. Guess it means this is something I need. Thank you.
You are so right!! I always fight doing the cleansing breathing...but when I make myself do it, without fail, by the third breath I am yawning and relaxing..it works every time to...THIS vagus nerve reset worked instantly for me...as soon as I looked at 3:00 I was yawing...I repeated it two more times and got the same result every time. Love this simple exercise.
I have tears streaming down my face like others mentioned. This must be a powerful release. Thank you!
I have tears rolling out of my eyes as I destress.I immediately yawned when I moved my eyes to the right, more so than left. Thanks so much for this exercise.
DiyDiy Wellness... tears are such a healing mechanism. thank you for sharing.. I appreciate you! Best to you on your journey :)
WHAT IS THIS EXERCISE? Where has it been my ENTIRE life? I'm not joking. This is a life saver. I yawned SOOOOO much.
Don Xavier Dolar... wow. this is meaningful. I am humbled to hear of your experience, grateful to you for sharing, appreciative of Stanley Rosenberg, and just pumped in general that we can do things for ourselves to make our lives better :)
Same
3 times in a row sitting here eyes at 3 o’clock
Felt relief/release immediately
There are good people in this world and you are one of them. Thank you.
Joe-B1.. it is a pleasure and you are very welcome.
thank you. 😇
@@nervoussystemninja ❤️
I suffered a concussion a few years ago and it feels like my body is in distress. This is the first time in a while I felt calm. It was short lived, but this will be put into practice throughout my day.
This is literally magical! Love this!!!
I can say that this exercise changed my life. I feel my entire body relax instantly when I do it, all the tension I've been holding disappears. And it's not just superficial relaxation, I can feel my body "breathe out" and say "ok, time to chill". Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I don't understand at all what it means to move your eyes to clock 3?
Means just to move your eyes to left or right???
Or we may try to look with one eye up to 12 and one eye right to 3, or what???
How to do this exercise correctly???
@@gyongyipedersen9264 if you close your eyes, and look directly up, that's *12 o'clock*
If you look all the way to the right-center that's *3 o'clock*
6 o'clock is when you look all the way down, and 9 o'clock all the way to the left
This actually worked, I was skeptical but found my self relaxed not even 30 seconds into the exercise. thank you!
Excellent!😀
Hi. I'm not sure why UA-cam's algorithm suggested this video for me. It's not related to anything else I've looked up or watched. However, I happened to have had severe experiences with my vagus nerve. One so severe I blacked out at work after hitting my ankle bone. Later, I was told I turned gray and they couldn't get a pulse on me. I have a lot of suppressed stress due to family issues, marriage and trying to live above it all. My pain tolerance is very high and I believe it does more harm than good sometimes. No medical professional has ever informed me of any of this. Actually, I had no idea it was tied to stress. Thank you.
yes the medical profession don't even get an hour in their 7+ year education to learn about life trauma (rather than acute obvious trauma). Maybe listen to Gabor Mate and Peter Levine among others to understand how you ended up there. Maybe your personality leads you to more stress than needed as well. Good luck.
I haven't stopped yawning since doing this a few moments ago. I feel so relaxed. Thank you for this wonderful technique
Same here!
This is my first time and i held five min each side but no yawns may be too much stress is stored how long it took you at first try did you yawn
@@raiswarnim9431 took me a few mins first time. I think because i had a lot of stress stored, also i felt really weird in my stomache like a nervous feeling but felt way better after!
Power!
Same! 😂
This is fabulous. I was sitting up in bed and put my hands behind my head, moved my eyes as directed and within 10 seconds I was taking deep sighing breaths and felt way better. Thanks, I can see myself doing this lots.
Love this, so simple but so effective.
Wow! Just wow! The yawn was instant and I feel so much better. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much, had so much neck and back pain and felt like everything in my body was tearing apart sometimes, 5 minutes later and I feel so loose and comfortable, its like I'm brand new!!
Oh my gosh.... I am literally non stop yawning! This is amazing. And I'm a massage therapist. Thank you!
I really like the way you did this. It's a pleasure to see someone who really knows what they're doing.
Walter Jackson... thank you for your words. I appreciate them (and you!) very much and am noticing a lovely warm smile as a result. Best wishes and benevolence to you! :)
Incredibly helpful and effective. Thank you!
I needed this in THEE WORST WAY!! I’ve been so angry and upset with my family today and cleaning like a Maniac for hours now and just decided to take a break and this came up in my feed! Ty!!!!!!!♥️
Wow, this is incredible! Thanks! I'm going to add this to my repertoire
I just want to compliment how lovely this lady looks, and how full she seems to the brim of a sort of joy or fun that is comforting to see.
This really works, so subtle and gentle.
This is a very helpful exercise, thank you. So simple, but effective
WOW! thank you. adding this to the top of my "go to" list for instant relaxation. I experienced a whole body sigh. ahhhhh.
I just did it while sitting in my office chair listening. Quite amazing I did it both ways right/left. I focused really hard at 3 o'clock and it feels great like some kind of reset. Thank you very much I will certainly share this.
What a lovely video, you have the perfect energy for your profession.
I love how you offered using it in varying situations - thank you for this helpful information!
You bet, Victoria! The sky (or our creativity, perhaps) is the limit with ways this can be applied... one of my more advanced favorites is to use it while thinking of something that can evoke a stress response, and the body positioning of this exercise can reduce how that stress lives in our body. Good stuff! Would love to hear from you how you applied it. Best wishes, and feel free to reach out with more insights or questions :)
Incredible! I can’t be live how simple this is. Thank you so much
Glad you like it!
Accessing the healing power of the Vegas nerve is the best book on this subject.
I’m SO grateful for you and these hacks because they’re beyond incredible 💜💜💜
Thanks Jennifer! I really appreciate your comment... sending love and greentree vibes your way :)
My mom has anxiety and we're both into natural means to heal our bodies and minds and to "hack" our nervous systems. I stumbled upon your channel and this video after learning more about the vagus nerve and, in addition to discovering this awesome reset, I instantly found you to be delightful 😁. You've got a new subscriber and thank-you so much for your awesome channel!
I wish I found this video three years ago. Can’t stop yawning. Feel so relaxed. I’ll use this every day. Thank you thank you thank you for making this.
Renee, thank you for caring and sharing! ❣
Any time! I appreciate you!
I've actually been feeling with pain in my left lower back area. someone mentioned that its trapped energy/Stress within that area. After watching this video and doing the technique I felt a visible change and for the first night in MONTHS was able to lay on my back. Didn't realize how stressed/ how much my body was holding in. THANK YOU !
This is what I've been experiencing for years. I've always been worried it's something serious but I'm hoping it's fixable. I haven't tried this technique yet but I'm hoping it works 🙌
Lower back problems often benefit from reducing caffiene drinks or alcohol which are all dehydrating. Replace with good clean natural water. Approx a small glass every waking hour.
I have been going to doctor's saying about pain in left lower back for ages they never give an answer. At a crisis point of severe pain at the moment. I know stress affects me very badly so grateful for any help!
I can't believe how effective this is. Thank you
Thomas Mulroney... that's *awesome* !! So glad to hear it! :-D
Oh my, i swallowed then yawned 9 times in about 5 minutes.I can’t stop yawning.Thank you so very much. I’m looking forward to my pit tonight 🌟UPDATE i had the best sleep ever last night.Thanks a million 🌟
That was amazing, thank you, Renee.
Thank you for caring for others 💕 this did seem to help me relax, very interesting.

@@nervoussystemninja Thank you so very much, Renee
This was fantastic. Thank you. I have allergies, anxiety, and I’m pretty sure my nervous system hasn’t had a break like this in years.
I M ... I could feel my system take a big breath in reading your words..... I am so glad for you to have a break.. it is a really good thing. thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@nervoussystemninja
Hello renee, I just discover your channel. Please what you recommend for tension headache and stiff musles neck and shoulder
Tks a lot
@@leilaezz6030 I love magnesium
This is amazing I can’t believe this worked.. I’ve been dealing with so much stress and anxiety lately I needed something to feel like myself again. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. So simple but amazingly effective.
I have been suffering from insomnia for two months and tried lots of different things with varying degrees of limited success. Tried this last night and it really helped a lot! Thank you
Wonderful
check your vitamin d3 levels
if you are deficient, you need to immediately increase them by supplementing d3, vitamin k2(mk7) and magnesium daily
The exercise is fabulous, so is listening to your voice explaining it. Both super relaxing haha
Holy crap, I can't believe this works so well. Upon my eyes hitting 3 o'clock, I *instantly* felt a strong WAVE of relaxation emanate from my brain, down my spine, and into my legs. Amazing. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! We love hearing our viewers success stories 💚
Wonderful!
Wonderful. I feel so relaxed afterwards. It helps me to do this at bedtime. I fall asleep quickly and make it through the night without waking up.
Good night
Just wow. I did this and needed it so bad. I had a rough 2 years. Very traumatizing. And then seemed on track until a family member passed. It was crazy. I have not been able to wind down like before. I get worked up and its nearly impossible for me to wind down. This made me feel so much better. I did it twice. Thank You.
@Your Surgery Sister - what a great response to something so difficult. I honor and acknowledge you, way to go! Blessings and godspeed to you... you can do hard things :)
Anything I did in my childhood and my family said for I was weird, and I stipped doing them, I am discovering as an adult that they are really important excercises, I have redicovered them through a Somatic Experiencing course. And I can say this above is something I was doing as a child because made me feel good, however I wasn't doing it correctly. This is confirming to me that I am a sensitive person who as a child explored many ways that helped me keeping a good mental health.
Valentina S... this is so beautiful to read. Absolutely - the Indwelling Wisdom of your body has always been there - it is with *all* of us. I honor and acknowledge you for listening, way to go!
thank you for the shoulder instruction - super helpful.
IT WORKS. Thanks a million!!
😍😍
Thank you so much! It took about five minutes but then the yawn came and a little light headed but once it passed.. I feel so much better 💙✨
Yeahhhh!!! I love to hear it, RachelGDollFace! In what ways did you notice that you felt better?
@@nervoussystemninja She went into a deep sleep and cannot answer! LOL
Tried it had a yawn . This is new to me. Hopfully this helps relax my frazzled nerves. Will have to research this, I like to understand the whys & how's 🤔
Thanks for this gift.
Just wow . Within 2 seconds i was yawning & then the tears began ro flow . Where had this been all my life . Thank you for sharing your precious insights ❤ Keep Golden ❤
oh, this is actually quite relaxing! very interesting how something seemingly so simple can work. Thx for the video!
That's awesome, and yes, I often find it surprising how sometimes the most simple things can be the most effective :-)
Amazing! Received in gratitude.

Love this, so glad I found your video, THANKYOU 💚💚💚
You're a good communicator, lady. The presentation you gave in this video could be put in chapter of a book with almost no editing required.
Your manner of speaking and the tone of your voice are also calming. Thank you.
We appreciate your support! Green Tree Mind is so grateful to have Dr. Renee as our CEO and Founder
Wow… yawning my head off after one try. I will use this every night, morning and especially before I start work each day which is a major trauma. Thank you so much 💖
Thanks Renee! Pleased to meet you.
This is great, thanks. I have a lot of shoulder pain and can't do this sitting up with arms up. You've answered my concerns.
Happy to help! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions :)
Thank you so much for this! I get heart palpitations and anxiety in the middle of the night...I do this and calm down immediately and drift back to sleep. It even works (for me, anyway) with my eyes closed!
J Anderson... that is *AWESOME*. I am so pumped to hear about your strategic application of this exercise. Brilliant, my friend, absolutely brilliant :)
I also get palpitations and I'm almost looking forward to the next event so I can try this! lol
@@wrylife57 what a cool new outlook to have towards heart palpitations! :-D
I'm looking for anything that helps with heart arrythmias as mine are proven to be directly related to digestive/vagus nerve issues..
@@looneytunes105 did you ever find anything?
Thank you so much. I have literally tears in my eyes. I haven't been able to relax and calm down in forever. Meditation, yoga, relaxing music, nothing helped. This worked instantly. Finally I am able to let go. Thank you so much.
This is so useful, thank you! 🙏 🧡
Wow! That worked immediately for me. I kept looking at 3 o'clock, and I yawned about eight times and my whole body relaxed. Thank you! I'm going to do this every day.
Wow! I've done a lot of quick relaxation techniques--tapping, deliberate yawning, three breaths, etc.--this is the fastest, best one yet!!! I yawned and swallowed and sighed in the first few seconds.
David C.... Love hearing this! Way to go, it's so nice to hear that you're finding something that works really well for you :)
Nice to have an explanation as to why this works.
Wow, this “exercise” !! In few seconds My eyes were blinking unnaturally and my my teeth were clicking few times, so I rather stop after 10 seconds or so and then repeated 10-15 seconds again. Now after so much tears out of my eyes I have back my !!inner smile!! and feeling myself so lightly. Thank you very much for sharing this. I wish you had great days ❤😊
I love the three phase picture on the wall, of the tree...it’s fab!
i said the same ;)
I found this really fun to try. I did it a few times and it did bring up yawning and sighs. After I had a relaxed smile on my face (often my face is serious) and felt like a nice walk. I don't know how much it was from this, how much from the comfort of simply lying on a couch, and how much it was from just giving my dog a new herbal supplement from the vet I'm excited about.
MORE LIKE THIS 🙏🏻
I tried it.
It works.
Thank you for this exercise.
I yawned within two seconds. It took me by surprise. I got a shock. Now I can’t stop yawning, over and over and over. Fascinating. Hope it relaxes me - cause I’m nuts. Thanks
Hooray, that's awesome! And welcome to the club... we're all (beautifully) nuts in our own way ;)
@@nervoussystemninja I only don't understand the 3 o'clock. Is the clock facing me or i am the clock?
@@goldenform3559 you are looking at the clock. Look to your right, as that's where three o clock would be.
yawning for the first time in months! is this normal??
@@goldenform3559 yep, close your eyes, and look to the right. Your looking AT the clock face, mate
I had almost one month with stress related palpitations. Earthing did help, but this exercise help a lot. I found your video yesterday, I slept great and today no palpitations. Thank you very much! Greetings from Baja, México.
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!🙏💞
Thank you so much for this🙏🏻✨
I’m addicted
I’ve never experienced anything like this, that works so immediately
Love ur channel and energy
Thank you, Andrea Colamartini! I appreciate you taking the time to write and watch... Keep going and be sure to let me know if you have any specific requests :)
Wow this worked for me right away, twice. As soon as I turned my eyes I yawned almost immediately! My body approves! Thank you so much, I’ll be sharing with my clients !
Love hearing this - thank you for taking the time to write! :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience
I liked your new word “Comful!” Peaceful and comfortable, thank you!
yay, you're welcome! Thanks for writing :)
Thank you, Stanley Rosenberg! The book, he describes is called "Accessing the healing power of the Vagus nerve". Very readable😃
Anna Berghammer... right!?! His work has been so helpful - thanks for taking the time to comment. If I could redo that video, I would have remembered to give him spoken credit, instead of only in the written description. Blessings and Best to you.
@@nervoussystemninja Captions would be nice. The video is useless to me without them.
@@nervoussystemninja I usually do deep belly breathing exercises while in this same prone position, and it helps me fall asleep as well. I wonder if this activates the vagus nerve too! I will try this exercise without the belly breathing and see what happens, I wonder if it would be a suitable variation to still do the eye movement AND the belly breathing?
😃😃😃
Thanks a lot Renee- I first watched this about 2 weeks ago and I have been doing it several times a day since then and I always get results sometimes in 10 seconds or in a minute or longest a few minutes, however I always feel better after doing it. I had previously never heard of it.
That's awesome - way to go! I'm excited for you.. and acknowledge you in that YOU are doing the work. and YOU get the results :)
@@nervoussystemninja Hi Renee. I do your Vagus Nerve Reset technique a few times a day and it only takes 1 or 2 minutes each time and feel much better.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Really great video, thank you. It worked right away
I have been working on the parasympathetic response for a month now but this works straight away. Vegus nerve stimulation works, I have woken up with anxiety every morning the last 4 months. I still wake with it but I do this exercise, vegus ear massage and deep belly breathing (somatic experience) and the anxiety just disappears. It’s like magic. Thanks for sharing this amazing technique.
"It is that simple; it's not always that easy."
Such a big Truth, Dr. Renée!
Your phrase echoes words frequently said by Esalen co-founder Dick Price and by his widow Christine Stewart Price, in teaching Gestalt Awareness Practice.
May all beings be free from suffering. Your work continues the tradition of bodhisattvas.
Thank you so much for those amazing and inspiring words!
Thank you so much! This was so relaxing and peaceful. 💖🙏🏻🌺
You're welcome!
I learned this from Sukie Baxter. I would use it adjusting to moving in w people in a more confined space. Grateful as I do it almost every day. Grateful & thankful for you as well!
Thank you sooooo much Renee for your video 😀 I have been having panic attacks for years and upon waking up this morning I felt one was coming. My osteopath mentioned to me that it had to do with my vagus nerve. So when I felt the panic attack coming I looked for a video on how to relax the vagus nerve and found your video. To my surprise it worked!!! Your exercise completely aborted the panic attack!! I’m so thankful to you because I have been suffering for more than 20 years. THANK YOU!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
A G... your comment moved me to tears, in a good way. I am so thankful that you tried it and took the time to let me know... blessings to you and your journey - please stay in touch!! amazing.
I’m so glad to hear that a panic attack was averted. I suffer with them as well and have recently discovered that the vertebrae in my neck are out of sorts causing pressure on my brain stem, arteries, cerebral spinal fluid flow and vagus nerve. Consider finding an orthospinology.com chiro in your area. The relief from so many symptoms is quite remarkable
@@jbailey628 did you try the exercise in this video to help your situation?
How are your panic attacks now? Do you still have them?
Thank you so much! I just did this while sitting and within 10 sec I yawned! Also I am trying to quit smoking and it is making me very stressed, so I will try this when I am having a difficult moment 🥰
This is amazing
I kind of love that you just left calmful etc. in there.
Good vid; you have a good explaining way.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼😇💚
Oh wow, feels like my body has had a mini workout, and I never workout. I liken this to a craniosacral therapy session, my body did a myriad of things all by itself, resulting in my chronic back pain going, for now. Excellent. Thank you.
Louise Voraujan.. that's beautiful! Thanks for sharing, it's so beautiful to see confirmation - that healing lies within, and this exercise creates a lovely environment to enhance the possibility and contribution to a healing atmosphere. Thanks for writing, and best wishes to you! :) Renee
Honestly, the intro is literally what i said to myself outloud today. Been feeling that way, for a few weeks now
NHMI... thanks for sharing. It is exciting to me to think and know that you can change your experience... good luck and reach out if you need any additional support!
