a simple vagus nerve practice to shift into rest and digest
The state of our nervous system is directly related to the quality of our digestion. Simply put, when we’re relaxed, in a state of rest and digest, the process of digestion is initiated. The vagus nerve is in direct communication with each organ and system, sending and receiving messages as well as directly impacting the overall state and health of these organ systems. This meditation focuses on a simple technique to stimulate and tone the vagus nerve, in order to elicit the relaxation response.
a meditation to enhance your digestive capacity
While meditation has long been known to promote better digestion, a 2015 study from the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that practicing mindful breathing, meditation and yoga can create positive changes in gene expression in patients with diseases of the digestive organs—relieving symptoms and even markers for diseases such as IBS and IBD.
