  • You have the right to relax. We often feel there are so many things that need doing during the day that we don’t stop, not even for a moment until our head hits the pillow. Then we’re up and at it the next day. In this video, Jill gives you permission to turn on your off switch so you can be well equipped to handle a busy day, take a break during the day or wind down thoroughly to induce a great night's sleep. Jill takes you through 3 different kinds of relaxation techniques to stimulate your vagus nerve using position, pressure and breath to move your nervous system dial from hustle and bustle to rest and renew. Follow along, try all three techniques and choose one or more approaches that work well for your schedule.

    Breathing in slowly through the nose, and then slowly out through your mouth, like a silent whistle, making the out breath as long as possible. This has taken me out of air-gasping, open- mouthed, panic attacks. It REALLY works. Hope this helps Someone.🌹

    This is important for everything I deal with from anxiety, hyatal hernia, neck and back pain, digestion issues. This helps all of these issues for me. Thank you so very much. I wish everyone would see how we can do these things to our own bodies if we choose too. No pharma needed.

    Thank you for your “free” breathing exercise. I am grateful. I have been investigating the influence of the Vegas nerve and the relationship to breath. I read the book “breathe” and learned so much there about the breath and how it affects our whole body “performance.” Your teachings are icing on the cake. Again, most grateful.

    I learned so much from this video. What a blessing. Thank you so much.
    I think I just figured out why my body always unconsciously moves, and shifts my pelvis upwards, anytime I’m laying down and see something unsettling on tv.
    I’ve been wondering why my body does this, for only a week now, and the explanation in this video, about the vagus nerve stimulation...how lifting the pelvis above the heart can induce relaxation even without the breath practice...incredible.

    Are there any side effects to doing these exercises initially?
    I am definitely seeing the benefits at this early stage, but I also sometimes observe spikes in anxiety and pulse (not sure about BP, haven't measured) also a little bit of pain in my head.
    Could this be the body or nervous system adapting to changes? Like blood ph/chemical levels? Or the nervous system adapting to a more parasympathetic state??
    James Nestor mentioned he was sweating hard during his first Breathing session, before he delved into the subject.. Why was that? thanks.
