New Approach To The Vagus Nerve And The Autonomic Nervous System

This book for health care practitioners presents the functional importance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the physiological, behavioral, and psychological balance in humans. It clearly introduces Stephen W. Porges' polyvagal theory and presents applications to human health.Older and dualistic concepts of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems hold that they operate in complementary and opposing ways; here, the reader will discover a new system with three hierarchical levels arranged according to their functions for adaptation, survival, and homeostasis:?the dorsal vagal branch, which is the most ancient, is responsible for the primary parasympathetic functions;?the sympathetic system, which is in charge of energy mobilization, work, fight, or flight;?the ventral vagal branch, which appeared late in the evolution of mammals, and regulates the thoracic organs, head, and neck, which together with other cranial nerves, are responsible for the social engagement system.The polyvagal theory also serves as a central pillar around which a new explanation of human development is proposed, regrouping physiological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, and shedding new light on psychosomatic phenomena.In addition to giving a clinical semiological presentation, the chapter on heart rate variability shows how it is possible to quantify the performance of the ventral branch of the vagus nerve and its interaction with the sympathetic system. Moreover, the innovative osteopathic techniques proposed in this book constitute a new approach for treating the vagus nerve and the ANS.Although this book was written by an osteopath, it will benefit all therapists of the body, mind, and spirit who search to deepen their comprehension of human functioning.

Did you know how important the Vagus Nerve is for the majority of our body's function and healing? Have you never heard about the Polyvagal theory? Did you also know that this autonomic-nervous-system related nerve, if stimulated in the right way, can reduce our body anxiety, inflammation and chronic illness? How can this be possible? The Polyvagal theory is a theory that posits that the Vagus Nerve, or tenth cranial nerve, is interconnected with and sensitive to influences that flow from the body toward the brain. If you have never heard about Vagus Nerves, which are usually referred to in the singular, they are the longest and maybe the most important autonomic nerves in the human body. Starting from the inferior cerebellar peduncle it extends up to the colon. And how is it related to our body's natural healing? Simply because this nerve is related to the most important organs and has a lot of physical and emotional effects. In this way it is possible to reduce anxiety, inflammation, chronic illness and at the same time improve the body's natural healing.

A collection of groundbreaking research by a leading figure in neuroscience. This book compiles, for the first time, Stephen W. Porges’s decades of research. A leading expert in developmental psychophysiology and developmental behavioral neuroscience, Porges is the mind behind the groundbreaking Polyvagal Theory, which has startling implications for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and autism. Adopted by clinicians around the world, the Polyvagal Theory has provided exciting new insights into the way our autonomic nervous system unconsciously mediates social engagement, trust, and intimacy.

Learn how to exercise your vagus nerve, which regulates automatic functions in the body, can help you take control of your health. The vagus nerve is something that has stumped anatomists for years. The vagus nerve is responsible for and instrumental in hundreds of processes within the body. This is the way to get to the bottom of the plug, connecting to many different organs on its way down.

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.
