The Wellness Toolbox

Coping Skills for Everyday Use

Vagal Stimulation

The vagus nerve is one of the body's main communication pathways between your brain and your body. When you are under stress, your nervous system can get stuck in "survival mode," making it harder to feel calm, think clearly, or relax.

Vagal Stimulation refers to a range of techniques that gently activate the vagus nerve and help signal to your body that you are safe. Practices like deep breathing, humming, singing, massaging your ears, neck or stomach, splashing cold water on your face, or "Oming" during meditation can help slow your heart rate, reduce feelings of stress, and bring your body back into a more balanced state.

Pro Tip: To build fluency, practice these skills during neutral moments, such as before bed, after waking up, or randomly during the day. This way, the skills become second nature and you are better able to access them when you need them the most.

Just as the name suggests, the Wellness Toolbox provides practical tools to support your well-being and help you navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. Whether you're looking for quick ways to calm racing thoughts, release built-up tension, or steady yourself during overwhelming moments, this space is designed to empower you with practical skills you can use anytime, anywhere.
