- Have you heard of your vagus nerve? It's a nerve that connects your brain to your gut and is in charge of (1) making sure your organs are doing ok (2) turning on your body's anti-stress parasympathetic nervous system response. Try this 10 minute routine to activate your vagus nerve to jumpstart your anti-stress response.

WHAT IS BRAIN EDUCATION TV?
Brain Education TV provides mental health and mental wellness videos to help young adults with loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The foundation of our content comes from Brain Education, an academic study from South Korea that stems from over 40 years of research and application and has been practiced by millions around the world.
WHY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH…
We suffered from high-functioning loneliness and depression our whole lives. We lived different lives in different states, but when we met, we realized we were struggling with common issues that reflected an important problem in our young adult generation. We didn’t know who we were, what we were passionate about, what we should live for, and what direction our lives were “supposed” to go. We spent a lot of time wandering in search of that magical ‘answer’ that will solve all problems (like I’m sure most of you are doing right now), and yet the further we searched outside, the more pronounced the emptiness inside of us felt.
Millions of people suffer silently from mental health related issues. Yet our society still places taboos around openly talking about relevant mental health topics like loneliness, depression, and anxiety. As a result, our young adults don’t know how to talk about it constructively, where to turn to, or what resources they have to combat this real-life threat to their wellbeing.
We credit Brain Education for giving us the courage to overcome our own mental health struggles and create the lives we want...and now we hope you can too through the videos we share on this channel.

❤️Linda and Gabi
As I was doing this for the first time, this idea popped into my head: "What if I watched these kind of videos instead of watching the daily news. " Stunning! Thank you for doing this for the world and doing it all with Love.
That's a great idea! hahaha! 😂
Would save yourself a lot of aggravation 😮sorry guard your heart and mind
Merci
If you want to turn off your nervous system down. Do not watch the news at all.
Your smile is 50% of the exercise 😊thank you
I’ve been doing this exercise for one week now. I feel like a whole new person. Wish I’d known about this tears ago. Would have saved me years of anxiety .
At the least you found it now. You can share it with others who need it. 🙏
Actually it stopped my lower back pain! It really relaxes the whole body
None of these tricks seem to work for me.
Thank you so much.🙏
@@acbarker4025 hey. I often feel so too. Don’t get discouraged! If something doesn’t work for you after trying it a few times. Move on and try something different. It’ll get better. Sending you good energy :)
Crying happy tears afterwards...there is hope for my anxiety. Amen ❤
Every thing going to be alright
for all of you coming back daily - exercise starts at 1:50
Thank you
Why?
@@sabrinakomako7830 why what?
1st time after 3 months of depression & anxiety... I smiled 1st time from my soul by doing this exercises... Love u instructor
Yay👏👏👏🥰🤟💫💫💫
is it because you're doing something silly, childish and playful or because of some vagus nerve magic. that's the real question.
@@chrishayes5755 Doesn't matter. Even placebo effect is a net benefit. Don't overthink it.

I have had severe constipation due to long term fight or flight stress caused by trauma. I did this routine and the very first time it helped me have a bowel movement. I will continue to do this while my body heals. Thanks you!!!
I have the same situation you had. I just stumbled on this video.
did you keep doing it? :)
I😅
How did you get your fight or flight response to turn off
@@robinwilliams7343look up therapy in a nutshell on UA-cam how to activate your parasympathetic nervous system to make your body feel safe
My palpitations were getting worse, this saved me from spiralling, the resources from youtube are very underrated and better than doctors
So much helpful info in YT. Unfortunately you have to know what you’re looking for/searching for to find the content. 😊
Hi! Did this stop your palpitations?
I have been doing this for 10 days….I’m 70 years old and have Lyme disease….I do feel increased saliva……the other thing I feel is a lovely strength in my spine…..thank you very much…..like a lot of people I could not afford to pay for this , I am so grateful 🙏
That is wonderful! I feel better too. This is wonderful.
Hope your lyme will go away!!
What are the main symptoms of this disease? and how long you have been suffering from it
OMG. I’ve been having crippling anxiety nonstop just even around my house and figured it was a vagus nerve thing but had no idea it was this easy to relieve. Nothing has felt this good in months and months. I’m crossing my fingers that everyone going through the same thing finds this video. I love you all.
Does it help you? I'm dealing me anxiety😢
@@naazuniquechannel yes doing vagus nerve exercises has helped me so much. look into polyvagal theory
Its Fantastic Naaz.👌@@naazuniquechannel
I just came across this I didn’t think it would work this good
I literally started laughing uncontrollably while doing this. It's like all the tension just melted away and I felt euphoric! This is going to be apart of my daily practice for sure!
Me too i was smiling the whole time 🥺🥺🥺
Me too!! At the end very strange but felt amazing a load lifted
I was laughing so much my dog checked on me!
Same!!!! I laughed then cried!! Lol
Wow!!
I came across this video 3 weeks ago and have been doing everyday since. This has changed my life! I was not able to eat without esophageal spasms and pains in my back for 2 months before starting this. I didn't even know what a Vagus nerve was. One the first day I was able to eat without discomfort or pain and everyday there after has been more pleasurable to eat. I have expanded my food pallette to many foods I ate before the spasms started. You are doing a great service to the people by sharing your knowledge. A thousand thank you's!!!!
Doing the exercise for the first time… nice feeling of warmth. The tension in my shoulders lessened, overall sense of relief. This stuff should be taught in school! Thank you so much!
Teach it to every one you know now that you know🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I grew up with a lot of violence in the home. Somehow I knew to massage into my belly button! My mother put bandaids over it because I worked it so often! I have two siblings who ended up with major addictions and thankfully I did not. I suspect this early intuition helped me through some, early, very rocky, waters!
Same story here, god bless
Wow...that just made me think of something I use to do when I would suck my thumb. Violent background as well.This is fascinating!
Wish you good luck always 🙏🏻
No changes at all. The waist of my pants is tight so my abdominal didn’t bounce like yours.
Similar story here. I manipulated mine so much , it went from an outie to an innie. Who knew?!
I'm definitely a fan! My anxiety attack raised my BP to 170/112 this evening. I watched the video and did the exercises for two sessions. Now my BP is 139/96. Thank you ❣️
I know it sounds silly but what is BP?
:::;v:@@GreasyBaconManñ;
@@GreasyBaconMan Blood Pressure.
Do a 20 min guided meditation ( many videos are available in UA-cam) for 41 days. Your anxiety will go away. Then you will continue to do the meditation.
Really. Will surely try .my anxiety issues .BP rises,also I hv Gerd then .gut not clear
Wow! 😍I'm here for Chronic Disease that ruins my life for the past 12 years and it's by far the best, most logical and most effective technique i've tried so far! Beside stretching romboïds and tennis ball foot massage, this techniques is also greatly complementary to breathing exercises when abs are tensed! Chronic disease also leads to mental health issues so i can't thank you enough for this. My best sign of efficiency is yawning which indicates i'm close to or currently switching to Parasympathetic. May the Universe grant you 1000x benefits you bring to others.
I do this daily, it us changing my life. My body feels relaxed in a way I've never know. Truly amazing. Thank you for bringing this to people ❤
Of all the vagus nerve exercises and techniques that I have tried, THIS one actually prevented an arrhythmia attack last night that I get when I suddenly lose my breath! I immediately felt an expansion of my chest when I stuck my fingers into my BB --NO time for a warm up! This is super awesome! I'll be doing this multiple times per day to build up MEMORY in my body so that I stay in parasympathetic state more often. Thank you so much!!!

Pl. don't mind uncalled for advice. My age and previous experience tells me overdoing any exercise especially such as these has psychic repercussions
@@SuperCkram you can’t just make a statement like this without providing context or resources to learn more. How much is over-doing it? What are the signs and symptoms? Are psychic repercussions positive, negative or neutral?
.
Personally i want psychic repercussions. I want deeply held stress and trauma to be released.
.
Edit: perhaps these trauma releases are what you were referring to: someone may do this for general stress relief and unwittingly bring the trauma from subconscious to conscious awareness. That could indeed be troubling for some who didn’t know that’s a possibility.
Hello can you tell me how this helped you?
@@zxerks As I stated, it stopped my atrial fibrillation attack. It helped to establish more control of my heart rhythm. It seems to work well for me, but everyone is different, and the body/mind can react differently. Perhaps it works well because it restores balance in our solar plexus ?
Finally someone who describes what the vagus nerve is and what it does and what parasympathetic means. THANK YOU!!💛💛💛
I wanted to let you know that a few years ago I struggled with horrible acid reflux and went on medication to treat it. When I got off the medication, the reflux came back. I did this video twice a day for a few days, and it completely remedied the issue. You are awesome. Thank you so much!! ❤
I have the same problem! I am trying for exactly the same reason as well.
Me three. I decided to work on my entire body without even knowing if this would do anything, I just knew my GERD is EXTREMELY connected to stress. Reading this gave me so much hope that I feel like crying, you gave me so much hope! Thank YOU
I have the same problem 2 years now daily by trauma and I pray this can help me doing better because I am hopeless.
@@zapatista3 good luck! The other thing that helped was deep breathing. Try inhaling for four, holding for 7, and exhaling for 8. Also just reducing stress in general, adding more joy and self-care in my life, and going to therapy to process my feelings!
@@MajaNikolikj aww of course! It will be ok! I also incorporated self-care practices, yoga, deep breathing, and therapy. I would recommend, if you can, re-evaluating relationships and situations that are causing you stress too! ❤️
This is the first vagus nerve exercise that immediately calmed me down, wow !
Today I didn't feel comfortable in a few places of my abdomen. After Vagus Nerve Activation exercises I feel like a "newborn".
I am so grateful to you. Your smile, your fantastic energy give additional heeling.

I had so much built up negative energy in my abdomen that I yawned and cried for minutes at a time,
which hurt my jaw, but I felt ten-thousand times better. Thanks :D
This has got to be one of the best vagus nerve stimulation workouts I’ve done. I felt 99% of everything you said we would feel. Including the tingles in the hands and the heat. Thanks!! 🧘🏽♀️
Thank you so much for this awesome routine! 😱 You know it's crazy I'm almost 50 and I never thought in a million years that my IBS/PTSD issues were tied to the vagus nerve. I noticed everytime my solar plexus would tighten my mouth would get really dry. Who would have thought it's all connected to our nervous system. So grateful to learn this today. I couldn't sleep. I'm actually relaxed now. Goodnight to me that is. 😴😊💜
Hello , how is the results after months of practicing these techniques? I have IBS symptoms too and difficult to make bowel movement ,whenever I want to go to the toilet after I minutes ,I lose interest and remain for several days(2 to 3 days) without making any bowel movement. I think my vegus nerve swiches on and off unconsciously.
@@Peter-bm2ts u need to go or ull get sick with toxins, I take 1 magnesium citrate every night before I sleep,it helps u sleep too,just trying to help ok .
@@reshmamohammed4525 hi
My husband suffered an intense bout of esophageal spasms and hiccups following covid lung infection. For a week we tried everything. We found this video and completed the whole routine. The results were almost instantaneous. The spasms and hiccups were gone. We continue to do these daily
Wow Maria, that's amazingly good news! Happy your husband is feeling better.
Thank god my heart goes out for him because mines was the same but he pass away it's so heart broken since my kids too,but he had no covid .
@@reshmamohammed4525
Goodness, very sorry to hear your husband passed away especially with children surviving the trauma.
My husband has taken 2 full months to recover but this video was an integral part of that. May God protect and heal your family.
@@mariarobinson8277 Please share everything he did that helped. It seems to be rare debilitating post Covid side effect. His experience will help others.
This one! Toning vagus from gut up means the whole nerve. This video is the best vagus toning info I have found!!!
This is life changing honestly, found three different vagus nerve stimulation exercises. I interchange them depending on how much time I have and it has helped me finally not feel so hyper vigilant and quick to stress. Thank you
Can you share the other routines you have been doing please?
I've been doing this daily for over a week now. You saved my life. Thank you
So eager to try, and feel free!🙏
@@mirelahodzic1235 Have you started the techniques and if so, how do you feel?
I have been suffering from an over active vagus nerve brought on by 4 years of acute constant emotional stress. I just tried your technique and I am pleasantly surprised and encouraged that with consistant practice I will be rid of the fierce pain this is causing. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge.
Glad I came upon this video. I experience severe anxiety, depression along with constant rumination. I tried this today 4/7/23 and will definitely add it to my anti-stress and anti-anxiety routine. Appreciate your calm and positive approach as well❤❤❤
What you feeling after 3 weeks now
What are you feeling 7 months in??
Hope you’re doing better ❤. It’s the masking + rumination that wrecks me the most.
thank you for this short, relaxing routine! Good for morning and evening.
Nicely explained Linda and you have a knack and a soulful smile to inspire people to take up the routine ...god bless you
I agree ; you are an inspiring person Linda. Thanxxx for sharing ❤ I did feel the benefits right on!
I am loving you thank you so much I have stress that is not even imaginable sometimes and just these last couple days of doing some of your videos has helped tremendously God bless you
It literally has been 4 months since I slept all night. I have been searching the web and doing other things as well for relaxation to help, but after doing this for the first time last night, (and I did not seem to feel much) I slept all night. I will continue to do this and hope the results are the same! Thank you!
Wow Jeff that is AMAZING! Keep going! 🤩
I'm impressed at the number of people who got relief from this. I just feel dumb and my arms are tired, but I guess I was already kinda relaxed to begin with?
So appreciate this!!! I have found working with the Vagus Nerve has been life-changing. In the night when I wake with anxiety or pain I use a vagus nerve activating exercise and am amazed how responsive my mind and body are to this very calming change. It actually minimizes my pain....Thank you! Thank you! I'm a believer and a daily disciple!!
I’m not even sure if I did this right. I’ve been struggling with terrible symptoms of heart palpitations, digestive issues and anxiety for months. Before I completed the last exercise I literally started crying. I have no idea why I became so emotional. I will continue to do this everyday to see how it will affect me. Hopefully this is exactly what I needed to get back to feeling like my old self.
I have the same issues. Seems to really help me. Do you still do this everyday??
Hi Amy, sorry to hear that. How do you feel now that a few weeks have passed?
Hey Amy, how did your symptoms began?
Hi Amy, I’ve been suffering attacks of atrial fibrillation (high heart rate with fluttering where I nearly pass out) following hospitalisation for a sudden serious GI Bleed. My digestion is terrible and I have started recently with anxiety. I read an article by a leading cardiologist that AF can be triggered by the Vagus Nerve. I told my doctor I think it’s connected to my stomach but he dismissed this and just wants to increase meds. I prefer natural remedies and am so grateful to have found this video. I’m going to try this straight away- thank you so much…..🙏
Sounds like very similiar symptoms to long covid
Thank you for posting this
I liked your video dear hope Allah will also give me relaxation after this .very very bad feelings about anxiety pray for me every one i want to come out from this bad conditions 😢
I just did this exercise for 30 min. It made my brain so relaxed. Ready to 😴
Same here. Unfortunately, I am at work (just on my break).
Thank you!! What a wonderful practice. You are truly one of my favorite Earth citizens!!
Haha thank you rastagirl!! ❤️❤️❤️
Лучшее из того, что я видела и пробовала для активации блуждающего нерва. Кишечник был, как камень. Воспаление вылечить не могла. Уже до Вашего видео немного расслабила живот. После таких упражнений в животе - огромное удовольствие. Спасибо!!!👍👍👍🏵️🌺🏵️
Adjustments I made for my body that might help others:
1) Checked curvature of lower spine for personal comfort;
2) Relaxed tension in upper shoulders and base of neck;
3) Tapped on areas with less force;
4) Lowered the repetition count from 30 to 10-15 for each progressive change in the sequence;
5) Alternated between tapping on diaphragm (in upper abdominal) and lower chest/heart region;
6) Pushed mindfully around sensitive areas of my belly region;
7) Adjusted clothing as necessary in the situation;
8) Stayed mindful of comfortable performance in place of perfectly following all the exercise, since it’s about tuning into each individual body’s stress and pain response.
Can I tap on top of head?
I have vagus nerve dif now top of back shoulders attach neck, swelling that pulls neck
My scalp needs release can I tap on top head to help?
@@louiselydon9926 maybe look into EFT Tapping Therapy here on UA-cam so it's free. I do that & it's an absolute game changer also🥰🤟💫💫💫
Thank you so much for this, very helpful, love the reminder to tune in to our individual state ❤
@@shamanskyeI second this! EFT tapping has been an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER! I also do Vagus Nerve Therapy and added this to me routine. Love it!
For the first 5 minutes I was like wow this is so intense until I realised I was watching on 1.75x speed
🤣🤣🤣😜
😂😂
😆😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😭
Excellent! What a relaxing sensation! Thank you!
I am so thankful for learning about this technique to calm my anxiety and stress.I was traumatized by a pit bull attacking me and my precious pup and the loss of my sweet pup. Learning this approach to improve my well being is a true gift to me especially my heart and self care.❤️😄
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you so much love, healing energy and a big hug!💞
So sorry. Sending love
Sending prayers and love 💕
You are a wonderful healer - feeling much gratitude!
Sweat, tingling hands, saliva: boxes ticked. Super winding down exercise before bed.
Thanks Linda.👍
Amen
What time is good for exercise
Thank you so much! Us anxiety laden people really appreciate what you taught us today.
Hi. Any improvement with your ptsd and this exercise?
My body tingles all around, and I feel warm. It is an amazing feeling.
I did this routine yesterday morning, woke up today and felt no stress in my stomach (usually in the solar plexus area). Did this routine again today this morning and I feel the benefits even more (so calm and at ease and it’s easier to relax immediately). Going to incorporate this routine in my flow. Thank you so much! 💚
Wow, thank you so much for this. Instant relief from PTSD anxiety. Can't wait to see what doing it consistently can do for me. 🙏🏽❤️
This was amazing! I found myself getting very warm and relaxed!
This was amazing!! Thank you!💞
So soothing! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
Thank you.This is my morning routine now.I believe the longer you keep doing this the better your vegas nerve will work.
I felt calmer after one session wow!! Thank you!!
It worked :) Its funny because I often wake up at night with anxiety and my brain goes searching for a "why" and it often serves up images of being homeless. HA !! I think this is the right channel for me !!
I've been loving your videos. Thank you!!
So grateful, thank you!
I really loved this! Thank you so much. I'm recovering from a head cold and nurturing my gut is part of my healing regimen. ❤️

Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this very simple exercise.
Stunning routine! THX so much for sharing! 👍👍👍 I will implement those practices in the cool down after my aerial classes. It's like exactly what we need to literally bring us 'back to the ground' after an exhausting workout🙏❤

Didn’t realise how slack and unfit my arm muscles were😅
Wow! It actually worked.
My arms got tired as well. ( plus instructor snuck some extra counts in )
I felt SO relaxed 😌 afterward though !
