Vagus Nerve: Calm Your Anxious Stomach Naturally | 10-Minute Daily Routine

Hello, Earth citizens. My name is Britney and you're watching Brain Education TV. Today, I'm going to guide you through a 10-minute routine on managing an upset stomach. Let's get started. So, today's exercise may seem a little counterproductive, but I promise you after you're done, you'll feel at least 60% better. So, with gentle fists, we're going to begin tapping the upper abdomen, also known as the third chakra. Making sure to relax your shoulders as well as relaxing your elbows and your wrist. Very very very gentle fist here. And you may feel absolutely nothing tapping this area. You may feel very tender. You may feel very tight. Whatever your feeling is, please use your exhalation. It also helps if you smile [Music] and I may tap a little bit more vigorously, but depending on your current condition, you choose your speed and you choose the amount of pressure you want to apply to your third chakra. Now, at the same time, we're going to activate the vagus nerve by moving your head left to right. Kind of like shaking your head. No. And you can close your eyes. Now, if you're wondering where this location is that I'm tapping, it's rib cage, belly button in between that middle space there. You'll feel it when you hit that point. You may start to feel this center of your body open or you may have the mind of wanting to stop because it can become a little bit painful or uncomfortable. Use your breath. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. And imagine this space slowly opening up. Any resistance that you feel in your upper abdomen is slowly releasing. This energy that is releasing is moving down to your lower abdomen. [Music] And start to notice your body finding its own rhythm. [Music] Naturally, your hips may start to move, your shoulders may start to move, your spine may start to move. [Music] [Music] You may also start to hear your stomach making different kinds of sounds. This is all very natural. Keep going. [Music] [Music] We will go 30 more times. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30. Now let's begin to tap on the left side, right under the left rib cage. This is where your stomach and the spleen live. There's a different sensation. Can you feel it? Maybe a little bit more comfortable than your third chakra. Maybe more uncomfortable. Breathe in. and breathe out. And when we tap the stomach area, you're going to want to keep your mouth open, releasing any tension from your jaw. And start to see if you can feel saliva pooling in your mouth. This is a good sign you are creating healthy circulation. We call water up, fire down. You can close your eyes and continue moving your head side to side and feel vibration, vibration, vibration. [Music] Your stomach is beginning to open and release any cold, stagnant energy. Let's go 30 more times. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30. Now over to the right side. This is your liver. The liver is actually the heaviest organ inside of the body containing all of your body's bile. So tapping and feeling different sensation than your third chakra and your stomach. Breathe in and exhale. Liver energetically also holds anger and frustration. Breathe in and exhale. And we'll go 30 times here. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1. A little bit faster. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20. Smile for the last 10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30. Now lower abdomen. Second chakra. This is what I like to call our portable energy pack where all of your energy is stored. We'll go 30 times here. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. As you tap this area, keep relaxing your shoulders. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30. Slowly stop placing one hand over the other on your lower abdomen. And send that warmth from your palms into your second chakra, lower abdomen. Relaxing your small and large intestine. Relaxing your stomach, your spleen, and your liver. [Music] And when you're ready, you can slowly open your eyes and sweep down your body. I hope that you're feeling better in your stomach area.
