This Friday evening mini-course is an exploration of the tenth cranial nerve, the Vagus nerve. It is an introduction to the role of Vagal tone in building and/or recovering a strong and resilient nervous system. We will weave between theory and practice, discussing sympathetic nervous system activation, the impact of fight/flight/freeze states in body memory, and the ways in which our experiences influence our nervous system. Through the practice of focus and attention, somatic awareness helps us notice and feel where we are dis-regulated or disconnected. And noticing helps us contemplate how we might, in time, regain the capacity to feel calm, settled, and self-regulated. (Even in challenging and difficult moments.)
In this course we will:
• Define and name the components of the Autonomic Nervous System
• Introduce polyvagal theory
• Explore somatic practices that support the parasympathetic nervous system
• Design a simple nourish/refresh practice
$35 for the 2-hour workshop; $28 for Uttara Unlimited Members
