The vagus nerve is finally getting the respect it deserves! Noah Karrasch has been studying vagus and its effects on the bodymindcore for several years, and offers ideas about what the vagus and its assisting nervous complex do for us.
Basically we'll go into the concepts of fight/flee/freeze/feel, which response is tied to which parts of the system, and how we might alter our responses so we can live more fully in the moment instead of being stuck in the past regrets or the future fears. True health lies in the present moment.
In this day, we'll spend lots of time looking at anatomy of the vagal complex, viewing videos that talk to the functions of the vagus, and learning techniques both as bodyworkers and clients that can help us and our clients calm and restore/reset vagal function so we can live in a calmer and more fulfilling world.
While the day is geared towards massage therapists, all who might benefit from information about the vagal system are welcome—there will be bodywork on tables, but all can join with or without bodywork training. The goal is to help us all activate the vagal system in a more healthy bodymindcore.
