My Heartfelt Thank You Kyle ~ @Calm With Kyle ♥️
I think kyle is my vagus nerve fixer.... because he is the most soothing person ever. 😊
Amen
I agree 100%
Seriously 💜
All of these were so helpful. I watched 3 videos in a row. I was having a trauma response, with panic attacks, a tension headache, and nausea. I had to stay home from work. I could not stop my body from revolting against me. This was life changing. Thank you.
So glad you found them helpful. Wishing you the best 😊
Thank you Kyle! Your voice is soothing to listen to

Awe thanks so much! You can check out some of the other vagal nerve or specific exercises for anxiety. All the best 😊

Awe, thank you. I am so glad you found it too 😊 welcome!!!
I'm regularly working on self directed compassion and when I start to yawn to the point my jaw hurts, cry, hiccuping, burping, get gas, I know that the self treatment hit the soft spot.
Singing helped me to go through a lot of though times.
Bessel Van Der Kolk says that choirs are societies way of regulating emotions.
@@hmmcinerney oh, believe me, they are. I'm singing in a mix generation choir. We are singing at masses, different cultural events, we sing at funerals, weddings, you name it. Many members had difficult times and we helped them get on their feet with participating at practicing, organizing casual meetings after the practice so we talked a little, cried, drank a glass of wine and ate a good food. So yeah, choir is cleaning the soul and helping in therapeutic way both, those who listen and those who sing.
Thank you "Kyle Doc Calm". You're a breathe of fresh air! Such a beautiful energy you share!
Thank you 😊

🙏💜
I was searching about valsalva maneuver yet I stumble on your posted video which might a big help to calm my irregular anxiety disorder. Thanks🙏🤗
You bet 😊
Does the exercises help with really bad pains in front of head ? I’m looking up that link you sent me. My doctors here are no help at all. They don’t even know a lot about TBI ‘s and then environmental toxic exposures. I’m going to try the exercises soon. I can barely function from the pain.
Your a Blessing Kyle
Your voice is like lemon balm for my ears. 😊
Awe that's very sweet. Thank you 😊
Very interesting. When I was a little girl, I used to have my father rub my ear. It just made me feel so good and I can relax and everything. I don't know how I got onto that at all, but I did, and I would ask him if he would rub my ear, and he would usually say yes. Suffer with Gastro paresis and I'm trying different things to help. I read where the vagus nerve activates the stomach's ability to empty, I sure am hoping it works because I am in a lot of pain and nausea. Thanks I will let you know if ot helps.If nothing else, I helps it helps the accompanying anxiety.
🎉This video EXCEPTIONAL! Perfect timing! A God Wink too as I just TOLD this joke few days ago.
Haha that's awesome about the joke! 😆 thank you Connie again for the wonderful comment. Hope you and yours are well!
@@CalmwithKyleYou're kindly welcomed. Pls pray that a "yours" is put in my path❤ One that is calming, soothing & compassionate like you! Thanks
Thank you for making the Vagus Nerve important. It is very new in relation to other forms of calming oneself and more attention to it is needed. This VEGAS girl is happy to see the VEGUS nerve talked about more. Badumbum! 😊 Hope you got a good laugh from my help with your dad jokes! 😊 Thank you for your wonderful contributions to psychology, mental health and the brain being physical and the physical affected by the mental coming from the mind, and vise verse. The mind is our self talk. The brain is our body talk, both one, both the same and both need care for our whole to be healthy! ❤
Love it!
@@CalmwithKyle YAY!!! 😅✌️😂
I've had anaphylaxis and now get a lot of anxiety over whether I can breathe. My stomach gets super tense, and I can't find the right muscles to belly breathe because everything is clenched so hard. I think the sniffing/laughing trick might really help me with that! And I am using those calm down buttons in my ears regularly. Thank you so much. 💜💜💜
Awe so great to hear. All the best!
We live in Lahaina Maui and I’m thrilled to have found you- you are already making a difference for me. Mahalo ❤
Ahh. Hello over in Maui! I'm glad you found my channel too 😊 wishing you the best!!
What a magnificent location ❤
All my humming is in my throat. I can’t feel it in my belly at all.
IS it important to differentiate between stimulating vagus nerve and calming vagus nerve as far as exercises? Some of these seem directed at stimulation, bit confused.
This is so wonderful! Going to practice this with my clients in our CRT! 🤍
Cyclic sighing is also very effective for calming down and can be combined with the deep breathing technique in the video to enhance it to another level. All you have to do is take another small inhale after finishing the slow inhale.
Great tip!
My wife sent this to me. I lost 1/2 my voice from surgery they say from damaging the Vagus nerve. I wish I could sing or hum but that doesn't work with me. I have been doing acupuncture and medical massage with little change. Any advice on a voice loss via Vagus nerve? I will try what I have heard on this. Thanks.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💗
Does stimulating the vagus nerve help activate the GABA system in the brain?
I'm not 100% certain on this but there is a connection.
Is this worth doing with dysautonomia? It’s so awful😢
If I can improve my vagus nerve will it also help with my digestion, I have IBS. No doubt that my vagus nerve is messed up because of heart palpitations and many other symptoms.
Going to see if I can find a UA-cam video that is nothing but yawning or laughing to help me to do each one of these.
I feel good after I cry 😂
I have the only anxiety of my freeze Response
I saw the book you are reading " Dude, you're going to be a Dad" 😂😂😂 was it good or did it scare you to death?
Haha for me it was okay, because I was reading a lot of other books that were more in depth with the pregnancy and delivery process.
I must say, u are definitely out standing in your field too 😂
Hahahah I love this, thank you.
