Book excerpt: Using electronic monitoring, scientists have made exciting new discoveries about the Vagus Nerve's role when a person exhibits compassion and empathy toward another. The Vagus Nerve seems to have an 'intelligence'of its own and serves the brain as well as critical organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, bowells and essentially all the organs of the abdomen. Having a 'gut feeling' about something is often reported, even though by conventional thinking, it just doesn't seem logical. Parallel to modern Vagus Nerve discoveries, the book explores an ancient Proverb: "The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly." The question is asked if the Vagus Nerve is the vehicle by which the human spirit expresses itself? And might the human spirit be the portal through which the Holy Spirit interacts with us? As the scriptures state: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" Scientists say the Vagus Nerve is where compassion activates and the scriptures say "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" If you've had that deep down, intuitive feeling of a still, small voice saying you are much more than just a clump of physical molecules, then this is a must read for you.

Download or read book Coping Rituals in Fearful Times written by Jeltje Gordon-Lennox and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles reveals ritual to be a unique and powerful asset in healing trauma and broken relationships. Each contribution offers insights on how, in the face of uncertainty, threat and dislocation, human beings feel compelled to 'do something’, usually with or for others, to alleviate their anxiety, fears and sense of powerlessness. The editor and authors demonstrate how the imaginative processes at the heart of ritualmaking contribute to self- and group regulation by healing and mitigating the negative impact of trauma on individuals, collective groups, and even global systems. The authors are a group of remarkable scholars, researchers and practitioners who represent a diverse range of disciplines and subfields, including archaeology, Chinese studies, digital culture, ecological science, philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, the politics of memory and the preservation of cultural heritage in wartime, ritual anthropology, social research, physics, research on traumatic stress, and peace studies. Students and researchers across the social and behavioural sciences will find this volume useful.
Download or read book Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve written by Stanley Rosenberg and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling book on the topic—now in 15 languages. This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science written by Emma M. Seppälä and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we define compassion? Is it an emotional state, a motivation, a dispositional trait, or a cultivated attitude? How does it compare to altruism and empathy? Chapters in this Handbook present critical scientific evidence about compassion in numerous conceptions. All of these approaches to thinking about compassion are valid and contribute importantly to understanding how we respond to others who are suffering. Covering multiple levels of our lives and self-concept, from the individual, to the group, to the organization and culture, The Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science gathers evidence and models of compassion that treat the subject of compassion science with careful scientific scrutiny and concern. It explores the motivators of compassion, the effect on physiology, the co-occurrence of wellbeing, and compassion training interventions. Sectioned by thematic approaches, it pulls together basic and clinical research ranging across neurobiological, developmental, evolutionary, social, clinical, and applied areas in psychology such as business and education. In this sense, it comprises one of the first multidisciplinary and systematic approaches to examining compassion from multiple perspectives and frames of reference. With contributions from well-established scholars as well as young rising stars in the field, this Handbook bridges a wide variety of diverse perspectives, research methodologies, and theory, and provides a foundation for this new and rapidly growing field. It should be of great value to the new generation of basic and applied researchers examining compassion, and serve as a catalyst for academic researchers and students to support and develop the modern world.

Download or read book Polyvagal Safety Attachment Communication Self Regulation IPNB written by Stephen W. Porges and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundational role of safety in our lives. Ever since publication of The Polyvagal Theory in 2011, demand for information about this innovative perspective has been constant. Here Stephen W. Porges brings together his most important writings since the publication of that seminal work. At its heart, polyvagal theory is about safety. It provides an understanding that feeling safe is dependent on autonomic states, and that our cognitive evaluations of risk in the environment, including identifying potentially dangerous relationships, play a secondary role to our visceral reactions to people and places. Our reaction to the continuing global pandemic supports one of the central concepts of polyvagal theory: that a desire to connect safely with others is our biological imperative. Indeed, life may be seen as an inherent quest for safety. These ideas, and more, are outlined in chapters on therapeutic presence, group psychotherapy, yoga and music therapy, autism, trauma, date rape, medical trauma, and COVID-19.
Download or read book Vagus Nerve written by Crystal Moon and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Description The vagus nerve is the main element of the adaptive nervous system. Polyvagal theory details the structure and function of the distinct dual segments of the vagus, all of which arise in the medulla. The hypothesis was presented in 1994 by Dr. Stephen Porges; The Polyvagal Theory suggests that human beings have physical reactions, such as physiological and digestive changes, correlated to their body language. The divisions of the vagal nerve serve multiple biological stress reactions in mammals. In essence, the more simplistic branch induces immobilization behaviors (e.g., feigning death), while the more evolved is linked to social communication. Such functions obey a phylogenetic order, where the more basic structures are enabled only when, the more complex functions malfunction. Such neural circuits control the autonomic process and the transmission of emotional and social behavior. Therefore, according to this principle, the natural environment determines the expression of action and psychological awareness. The polyvagal hypothesis has a variety of consequences for the study of pain, anxiety, and social behavior. This book intends to cover all the aspects relating to the vagus nerve and Polyvagal theory. In this comprehensive document, you will be able to learn: A brief introduction of the vagus nerve An insight into Polyvagal theory How neural pathways regulate the social behaviors and expression of emotions How to active our vagus nerve Self-help exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve Impact of Polyvagal theory on Behavioral diseases Since the book is written in a manner that a person with no or little knowledge about the medical field can easily understand, the book covers all the aspects of Vagus nerve and provide a comprehensive insight about the Polyvagal theory which a non-specialist can easily understand., I would suggest you give it a read you won't regret.

Download or read book The Polyvagal Theory written by Sherman Sander and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been facing feelings of anxiety for a long time now? Have you been fighting depressing feelings, and wondering if everything is or will be alright with you in the end? *** New version *** Release date: 04-30-20. The book was revised, modified and improved. Statistics have shown that some of the highest causes of death in the world are anxiety, depression and feelings of boredom and loneliness. Our world has become one of survival of the fittest. People wake up in the morning with countless activities lined up for the day that often consume the time meant for resting and self-reflection. We go to our jobs and work hard until late in the evening and sometimes head to other events before going home for the night. When it comes to managing issues such as anxiety and stress, there are a number of things that come to mind. However, the Polyvagal Theory which was expounded by Stephen Porges and Stanley Rosenberg would turn out to be one of the best guides out there. This book will thus focus on these theories and provide many keys and tools from which to choose. Some of these will include: ● Learning the various parts of the autonomic nervous system and how they influence certain reactions ● Understanding the various reactions humans are prone to when faced with various challenging circumstances ● Learning how the polyvagal theory can be applied in your life ● Understanding how the polyvagal theory affects the management of autism and stress in general. Depression, like most mental disorders, is a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system. People suffering from depression have a sustained level of stress that keeps them unsettled and agitated. They feel a lack of motivation and drive, and their sleep is unrefreshing no matter how long it is. Normally, the vagus system uses the vagal brake to reduce the heart rate and stabilize the breathing patterns, but traumatic experiences impair the brake and leave the person in a state of imbalance. What can a person experiencing depression or trauma do in such a situation? Autism is a disorder that affects a person's communication, interests, and social interactions. The polyvagal theory shows us that autistic individuals are unable to communicate, interact with people or analyze social data normally. As a result, their bodies often read fight-flight-freeze responses and shut down. During childhood, their body remains in immobilization mode. The consequence is that they become agitated, have difficulties digesting food, and their interactions with the outside community is distorted. Their social engagement system has not been fully integrated. This condition may occur as a result of emotional trauma, fear at birth, or their vagus nerve was silence or damaged, leading to their nervous system not fully developing. So how does the polyvagal theory and Stanley Rosenberg's theory apply to them? Luckily, there are a lot of quick-and-easy ways to activate and exercise the nerve, strengthening its function and restoring your body to good health. Packed with easy-to-follow exercises and activities, this book will show you how to unlock the power of the vagus nerve to heal your body and get back to a state of balance. At the end of this book, we believe that you will have complete knowledge of the polyvagal theory and will be able to apply it to your life efficiently and effectively.

Download or read book The Biodynamics of the Immune System written by Michael J. Shea and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodynamic therapy practices for optimizing the immune system and healing the spiritual suffering at the root of many modern ailments • Examines the need to restore balance to the immune system through a deeper spiritual connection to the energies of the universe • Shares unique biodynamic protocols to balance the metabolism with the cosmos as well as optimize the immune system and the function of the vagus nerve Drawing on more than 45 years of practicing Eastern medicine, Michael J. Shea, Ph.D., presents a holistic guide to biodynamic manual therapy practices for optimizing the immune system and for healing the deep spiritual suffering of our contemporary world. Showing spiritual suffering to be the root of our modern epidemic of metabolic syndrome and other widespread health issues, the author explains how the pervasive degradation of the human body relates directly with the food we eat, the air we breathe, and our thoughts and emotions. He explains how the Five Element theory of Eastern medicine offers a method to reclaim the body by sensing each element in and around us as a single continuum. Focusing especially on “the fluid body” in biodynamic osteopathy and biodynamic craniosacral therapy, the author shows how inflamed components of the fluid body, such as the blood and lymphatic system, form the substrate of metabolic syndromes. He offers practices to visualize the health of the fluid body. He explains how, in order to enact the full benefits of the immune system, we need to nurture a deep sense of safety inside the body--a symbolic return to our embryonic and cosmic origins and a restoration of our sacred wholeness. Offering an extensive section of therapeutic applications, including both in-person and remote techniques, the author shares new and unique biodynamic protocols to balance the metabolism with the cosmos as well as optimize the immune system and the function of the vagus nerve. Enacting healing at the deepest spiritual level, Shea reveals how to create inner and outer balance to restore wholeness as it was at the time of the origin of the universe.
