Wellness and the vagus nerve

Episode 41: In this episode, host Angie Gust talk about the vagus nerve. It is part of a circuit that links the neck, heart, lungs, and abdomen to the brain and is critical in balancing the nervous system. Is there any way we can help the vagus nerve, especially if we have excessive worry or anxiety?  Yes. One thing is a yogic practice called Sudarshan Kriya aka SKY for short. It consists of a specific sequence of varying breathing rates separated by brief periods of normal breathing.  Consider trying it.  Now, turning to the environment. To show that people can live off 100% renewable energy, just look at Canberra, Australia. Ten years ago when the Australian Capital Territory government, which oversees Canberra, embarked on a mission to achieve the goal of 90% renewable energy by 2020, it was dismissed and said to be impossible.  But, the Australian Capital Territory reached their goal in under a decade, and the people of Canberra today have the cheapest energy bills in Australia’s national energy market! Canberra is showing what can be done.
