Reduce Neck and upper back tension - vagus nerve exercises for nervous system regulation

quick routine to RELEASE TENSION in the neck, jaw and upper back, and regulate your nervous system back into a calm and balanced state in just a few minutes, by using EYE MOVEMENT and the vagus nerve.
WHY IT WORKS in a nutshell
Eye movement helps relieve tension in the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull which in turn increases blood circulation to the brain stem and cranial nerves responsible for regulating the nervous system back into a calm and socially engaged state (ventral vagus branch)
In other words it helps to reduce physical tension in the neck muscles and shift you out of either fight/flight (sympathetic branch) or freeze/fawn/shutdown (dorsal vagus branch)
