Brilliant..

Thank you, that was informative. For those interested, other ways to stimulate your vagus nerve are: tongue depressors (use them to create a gag reflex), gargling, humming, singing, some forms of breathing (glottal breathing), simulating a yawn, massaging your upper palate with your tongue (gliding your tongue from front upper teeth backwards), washing your face with cold water.

As a young child I use to rub the back of my ears to soothe myself. Seeing the diagram in the thumbnail and wow... makes so much sense!

The way you demonstrate the enervation of vagus nerve through the body is really beautiful to see! Looks like we are watching a ballet dance! =) Thanks!

I truly thought I was the only one that was blindly trying to put these pieces of a puzzle together, but it was frustrating because I wasn’t aware of how many pieces existed, but you so brilliantly confirmed this to me and this information is definitely a life changer for a large majority of humanity. I applaud you in your presentation and findings Clare absolutely incredible! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you Clare. Very well done. Many blessings.

Thank you thank you so much ,please don’t stop making these videos 🙏💖

Began a deeper study of the Vagus nerve and really appreciate what you have brought forward in this video. Thank you!

I am grateful to Stephen Porges for his discovery of the power of the vagus nerve and bringing this forth for our healing.

Thank you!😍🙏

Thank you.

Your technique was so helpful!!! I intuitively felt that my vagus nerve was irritated/causing breathing issues and after doing your technique for a few days, I can now get full deep breaths. Thank you so much!

Clever explanation!

Very Helpful and I could feel a relief and change in my breath. As a prof. Dancer, have taken Alexander classes since 1992 and your explanation makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you...

Thank you so much-I thoroughly enjoyed your video🌷👂

Thank you

Excellent. Thank you!

Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you very helpful love & light

amazing! thank you for this beautiful share❣️❣️❣️

Gonna try it

I'm reminded of the bee exercise from Pranayama I feel the vibration in the inner ear area while doing it.

Nicely done. Thank you!

Thank you, very informative

very helpful. thx for sharing.

Interesting! Thank you!

So interesting!. Thank you!

Thank you, I feel like this is true and helpful. Thank you very much

Thank you for your fantastic, brilliant and interesting video i will start with this today

WOW....when I lifted my earlobes back and up like you did my hearing became very accute but it did not happen when I used my finger and thumb in the ears although my breathing did become clearer.

AWeSoMe information! Peace & Love & Light to ALL 🥰 I Loved your charts ‼️🤨🤓💪😏

Fantastic and interesting information about Vagus nerve. Thank you so much.

Thanks indeed!

Fascinating thanks

Thanks so much for this aspect of treating the vagus nerve. I have porphyria. It's a genetic blood disorder. Trauma triggers it to become active. At that time, anything controlled by the autonomic nervous system can fail. People often die of respiratory paralysis. I had this happen and was able to survive, barely. I will add this technique to what I use. Wish you were in our area. Thanks again.

so cool! Thanks!

Thank you - this is great information! I will definitely practice these ear therapy exercises & see if it helps. 👍

This made me take a big deep involuntary breath and just feels good in general ... But I'll be most interested in seeing if it has any impact on the hyper-arousal symptoms of Complex PTSD, or on discharging unwanted fight/flight energy from the body. Thank you!

Thank You!

Thanks...

Thank you! Im trying to learn how to calm my nervous system.

Thank you so much for your video...I have been able to shorten my most recent Afib events! Once they begin they can last 3-5 hours. I have been able to bring my heart back into rhythm within an hour to sometimes 20 mins...without any medication :) thank you so much!!!!!

Such amazing & healing info 👂🧠 Thank you Clare! Subscribed 🤍

Gratidão!

Thanks for a great way to work with that particular location - it's also a very active acupressure area, and this is a way that clients can help themselves. I'm a bodyworker and Ortho-Bionomy®practitioner working with clients who need recuperative techniques.and self-care (or somatic education) and this approach to that point is one I'm eager to share with them as well. Many of them are currently experiencing issues that involved lung & heart issues - not Covid-related, so this will help them a great deal! Again, many thanks for sharing this!

Hi Clare! - In support of what you’ve discovered and explained ..I would even more boldly say to your viewers that *freeing the neck* (in the Alexander sense) necessarily involve freeing the pathway for the vagus nerve.

You should check out the Polyvagal Model for therapy. I’m going through it now for my Complex PTSD. It’s probably why this video popped up in my feed. Splendid suggestions! Both from you and your viewers.

Thanks

and beautifully explained

Good video , subscribed

Thank you for that wonderful video. Just also wanted to mention that in South of India, in my state of Tamil Nadu, there is a very ancient practice done while worshipping Lord Ganesha, lord of knowledge/memory. The practice called "Thoppukaranam" is done facing Shri Ganesha. Thoppu means hands and Karanam means ears. The object is to move energy and oxygen up into the brain. Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth (the palate) to open the Eustachian tubes in the ears. Cross your arms in front of your chest with the right arm over the left. *Raise your hands towards your ears and grab the opposite earlobe. Place your thumb on the front of the earlobe and your index finger on the back. Squeeze gently.* Bend your knees and lower your torso into a squat position while inhaling while going down. Keep your knees over the heels to avoid injury. Rise into standing position while exhaling. Repeat for 15 squats. Ensure the tongue remains on the roof of the mouth. This position also stimulates the hypothalamus. This is also an exercise/ punishment given to students regularly in schools who are lethargic or lazy or absent minded..😁 We can see it done by elders in front of Ganesha shrines every day albeit in a very very hurried up mechanical way... There is a whole lot of Google pages calling it super yoga.. search for Thoppukaranam... If only we knew that our teachers and parents were teaching us a good health exercise..

Excellent video. I’m finding out a healthy vagus nerve is key to reducing stress on your body.

I had an aspiration pneumonia with an elevated hemidiaphragm. They found it with a chest Xray and not knowing what type of pneumonia, prescribed a Zpack which basically killed off my gut biome and nearly me for that matter. I had am endoscopy at the same time as my colonoscopy and was further diagnosed with diverticulosis and a couple of benign pullups they removed. They told me that my dyspnea was due to damage of the Phrenic nerve and then did further breathing tests, sleep disorder tests, and checked the gas level in my blood. I am still not breathing right and this has been since December. I just did your exercise of pinching my inner ear and I can tell there is a difference in my breathing! I'm definitely following you! Thankyou!!!!!!!

Really helpful thank you, especially as I live with pulsatile tinnitus. I noticed the intake of breath straight away and it felt very good 💯

very good

The vagas nerve is a fun place to bring sensation to and that is why a city was named Las Vegas after it.

Thank you. I'm going to try this for my TMJ. If you have any other advice for TMJ please share it with everyone.

Mam very informative ,also want to share that shunya mudra heals the ear related balancing issue. Hope you know that already.

how clear

Very well presented, not sure why this seems so logical yet rarely is it done using self as model. Judging by comment section, my opinion is shared by others

Right on.

Beautiful. And you are cute and refreshing. Thank you. A Russian doctor I saw 10-15 years ago, explained it's important to massage the ears IN and OUT each morning. Funny enough, in previous generations that was the way to make children aware they did a mistake, without any offensive talk or brutality. Maybe it was better than the fashion of parenting through guilt tripping and emotional manipulations that makes generations of people in need of psichotherapy from 14 years old. We should get wise fast and stop following any new stupid trends. It seems we didn't invent anything good in last 20 years, just manipulations technics to make others weak and then sell magic pills. May your message reach more people dear Clare!

I Can take deeper breaths doing that exercise

EXCELLENT VIDEO.... Question... What are you looking at OFF Camera? Please Look into your LENS so we can (feel) like you're talking to US... Thank you so much for sharing this great video... YOU do know what you're doing... Thank you.

5:30 `I don't know if... but that's what they say'. I tend to trust people who are clear about what they say more than the ones who pretend they know it all. Thank you!

The pressure should be the weight of a nickel, try it while breathing

Nyce info

Always looking for ways to stimulate my vagus nerve to help reduce effect polio had on it as a small child.

which side of the neck is the dorsal on vs the ventral?

Very interesting. Since your into this i thought id share real quick. I am sensitive. Listening to subliminal for face lift..well besides the positive result...i KNOW it worked as my ears ITCH. For several days out of the blue I get waves about a minute in length the deepest part of my ear itches so onvious eventually to me that i took pics to see if i could capture what was happening. Strange i know. Anyways i have no idea if frequencies activate the vagus nerve but im going to be playing w my ears as well next time. Maybe work twice as fast. Blessings. Terri in Tx.

This is perfect thank you! Just what I needed. I’m wondering if one ear starts tingling there, for whatever reason whether you’re doing something or not, is it a good thing?

Thank you. This is so interesting. I find massaging my ears helps alleviate migraines that, I now know, seem to develop in the skull areas of the vagal and cranial nerves. Any thoughts?

Thing is you are lifting your arms which opens up your chest, so that could be what's improving breathing.

This exercise help me to realize my left nostril is stopped up and then that everything on my left side is having issues right now🤔ok Google 🙄

How long should one hold this ear position and in what intervals should it be done? Thanks!

I practiced the breathing 4 in 16 hold and 8 out, after a month I got light headed. And I checked the blood pressure, it was 170/85 and my usual pressure was 130/70. I stoped the breathing technique, and I was wondering what might have happened. May be this is related to this Vegas nerve or Cranial nerve. Right after the breathing I go into meditation on the Pineal gland and pituitary. Now I slowed it down.

Do you think there may be a relationship between vagal tone and scoliosis?

Thank you! (was once privileged enough to have had a session with Marjorie Barstow.... amazing lady. ) 🕊️❤️

The sound and earphones affect vagus nerve?

That was easy, do you think that will help with parkinson's, I"ve had PD for 5 years now and find little tips help me more than the allopathic dr and meds!
