Your video saved me the other night. I had a syncope incident and passed out while driving on the expressway. Totaled my car. The emergency room told me about the Vagus nerve. A couple of evenings ago I was heading towards some kind of breakdown, couldn't stop it. I looked up vagus nerve and found you. As I was doing it I felt a feeling of sleeping it relaxing. It stopped the horrible spiraling down feeling. Thank you Kyle! Brilliant!
Awe, thanks for sharing about your experience. Wishing you the best 😊
I understand this Geoffrey. I took have experienced many synoptic episodes. I've never fainted but certainly have come close. All the best on your recovery from this. I think you're on your way to freedom!!!
Thank you! this works instantly, children should lerarn this at school! Your voice ist very calming!
You're welcome! Yes, that would be a great thing to teach early on. Thanks for the compliment ☺️
@@CalmwithKylethank you
@CalmwithKyle Your voice was half the therapy. I can tell you are a true healer just by your voice. I burst into tears because I felt loved. Thank you so much 🙏
Infinite love and gratitude!!!
For this wonderful gift!!...
🙏💟🙏
Thank you so much for this video! I have never had an exercise work this strongly or this quickly before for me. I think the key to calming my system and feeling safe is layering - I have been practicing breathwork for a while but I honestly believe the direct stimulation to the vagus nerve and pressure points is what made my body wake up and listen. This video has made me so happy, your channel is fantastic and I'm so grateful to have found you (and your peaceful, calming tones!)
Awe, wow. Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad it was beneficial. Wishing you the best!! :)
I do feel calmer and also experiencing emotional release. I’ve been working through traumas and then my twin brother passed away unexpectedly Dec 26th. So I’ve been on overwhelm. I’m glad I came across this.
Sending you good energy and care! ❤️
Give him to GOD🙏 he is in good hands🙏
This is so amazing! I have dysautonomia and I'm autistic, so it feels like my vagus nerve is just constantly on overdrive (giving me those physical DANGER sensations even when I'm not in any danger) and even hurts often. It wasn't giving me pain today, but I felt that overactive physical anxiety that I get often. Did this exercise and now feel so relaxed!!! Thank you so much for this video!
Awe you're welcome 😊
Returning a couple weeks after my "what kind of witchcraft is this holy shit" comment to elaborate.
I have severe childhood trauma. I won't get into the details, but the gist is there were very few times I felt safe as a child, whether I was at home, school, or church. I've been struggling to get through my freeze response so I can complete my courses this semester instead of flunking out. This is going to be a literal lifesaver. Thank you so much.
Happy to hear you're finding it beneficial. All the best with your courses!!
I’m grateful I found your videos. I have been in fight or flight for years from domestic violence and I am learning about this technique to help me calm my nervous system. I felt a difference immediately. Thank you.
So relaxed. Agree with others, your voice is calming.
This actually worked better and more obviously than the tapping exercises I've tried, thanks...
I've been stressed more than normal this past week and started having panic attacks with some scary palpitations/fast heart rate creating this scary feedback loop of what I can describe as an excess adrenaline release. I knew about vagal nerve breathing/massage, and some videos have helped me in the past, but this has calmed me more than any other video I've tried. My pulse is now a consistent and calm 65, down from around 150, which creates more of the loop of fear and prolongs the panic attack. Thank you for this. I will be coming to this every day.
Awe thank you for sharing your experience and I'm glad it was helpful 😌
Feeling so much calmer. This works.
This was wonderful. Relaxing tingles and internal comfort. Your voice is the cherry on top.
Awe, you're too kind. Thank you 😊
I did feel calmer and even sleepy after doing this session with you. It is amazing!
Glad to hear 😊
❤😊Thanks ! Kyle. After this session I did feel so calm and sleepy also who is still suffering from Anxiety attacks and Depressing Moods.
Thanks! With Blessings
BModi
You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Wishing you all the best 😊
Kyle your voice is so soothing, it's ASMR worthy, I would be so happy and grateful if you could make a video to combine all your calming techniques with soft spoken ASMR. 🙏
Wow. Thank you. I will definitely consider this :)
I've been doing these for years now intuitively, and not long ago I learned the connection that these have with vagal tone. Thank you for sharing these! 🖤✨

I watched this a couple of days ago and found that a pinched nerve issue in my neck that had been giving me pain down my shoulder to my elbow had diminished greatly. Aside from just feeling more peaceful, my pain had been mostly resolved. Thank you, Kyle!
so doing this video helped with the pinched nerve issue?
In addition to the calming effect I noticed my tinnitus quieting somewhat and my eyes opening up more. Thank you!
Thats awesome! Keep up the nervous system calming for tinnitus. I plan on doing a video on this in the future.
@@CalmwithKyle You mentioned about doing a Tinnitus session. Would that be sometime soon?
that last exercise with the pressure points was truly amazing.
Happy to hear ☺️
Wonderful. Calmest I have been since panic attack a few days ago. Thank you.
Awe, happy to hear it! Wishing all the best.

Haha awesome 😊 glad to hear, thank you for sharing
agree with all the comments. Wow. this is exactly what i have been looking for all of my life. something simple and gentle and powerfully effective. I am so blessed to have met you Kyle. As i watched your video I just kept thinking that these types of people like you born to heal really help others vs try to just find a way to mentally convince people to do xyz for an exchange of money. Clearly you simply want to help people feel the health and well being. You are so amazingly caring . it is so touching to the soul
Awe, thank you so much for the kind words!! That's very heart warming and you're right, I'm hoping to take my experience and training and share it, hoping it can be helpful for way beyond the few clients that I the privilege of working with.
All the best!
