Honestly, this feels like something that can distract somebody's senses down enough that showing somebody it and having them do it to themselves could stop or prevent a panic attack. Will keep in my mind for friends.
Everytime with the hand shaking make me almost cry like i would at the beginning of a panic attack, but it felt different, its hard to explain. Its hard to find things that actually work for me but this little thing did something. Thank you!

I am not opposed to the exercises you demonstrated- there is actually a decent amount of evidence that they work. I am not denying that or opposing it... What I have trouble with in this video comes from confusing different cranial nerves with each other- as well as the concept that there is a "Vagus Nervous System." (1:09). To get to the point- yes VN is part of the autonomic NS- Stimulation of either of the two (one on each side of the neck, below ear and chin) activates the parasympathetic nervous systom (part of autonomic). Touching other areas (such as by the eyes or back of the skull)- may create a response that the vagus nerve ends up being a part of... The cranial nerves influence one another- but there is a big difference between vagus nerve stimulation directly- and other things that get that parasympathetic nervous system going- and eventually the VN tells the heart- lets dial it back a bit- were good.

Nice video, and helpful too! But please next time doing vagus nerve exercise try to slow it down a bit more. This feels too rushed, and I have to pause the video to even finish the moves, before moving on to the next one. ❤ something like this should be more slow paced, and relaxing. Thank you for the exercises.
Thank you for your feedback. This is more of a demonstration than a follow along. I would recommend my yoga classes if you want to follow along at a slow pace: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v5iNPPr9Bcw.html
Maybe a better word would have been stimulate. When you stimulate the vagus nerve, it sends messages to the body's nervous system that it is time to calm down. When you are anxious that is exactly what the NS needs. When you are anxious and doing these exercises it could take 3-7 minutes (depending on how anxious you are) for the NS to 'get the message' it's safe to wind back down. The more you do them the faster your NS will begin to respond.
