**“Thoroughly researched, clearly explained, and beautifully illustrated…\[this book\] provides powerful insights and actionable steps for regulating the nervous system.”  
—Alex Korb, Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Personal Development Coach, and Author of _The Upward Spiral_**  
  
**A somatic approach to treating trauma, anxiety, and depression** has never been more popular. Perhaps that’s because recent studies show that 80% of mind-body communication originates in the body —the vagus nerve is the superhighway that facilitates this communication.   
   
_Healing Through the Vagus Nerve_ walks you through how the nervous system and the vagus nerve function, with **approachable, non-academic language** and **helpful illustrations**. **Amanda Armstrong (founder of Rise as We)** teaches all about vagal tone and the impact it has on your mental health and everyday life. Then, a variety of exercises and practices provide an adaptable approach to improving nervous system function:  
  

-   **Breathing techniques** including diaphragmatic breathing, physiological sigh, voo breath, and the Valsalva technique
-   **Massage techniques** for the ear, neck, and abdomen
-   **Visual techniques** including lateral eye stretches, eye pushups, orienting, eye cupping, and gaze opening
-   **Physical techniques** including cold exposure, yoga, and more

  
Featuring relatable client stories, key details of the author’s own journey healing her nervous system, and a selection of entry points to help engage with the process, _Healing Through the Vagus Nerve_ is a **complete guide to improving your stress response** through optimizing your vagus nerve and nervous system.
