    I come from a family that has neglected serious mental health issues like this for 3 generations (that I have met). It is interesting to see how each mother in my family has dealt with anxiety. Each generation has improved it, but not fully addressed the anxiety response itself. My grandma has a body full of disease mostly due to chronic stress, my mother following in her footsteps at age 60. Im 24 and I refuse to develop these health issues, and I am determined to address this anxiety and save my body from a lifetime of chronic stress. It’s possible people!!

      Its a continuous struggle daily - I try different techniques and coming back to my breath - usually helps me the most. Ideally, the more and more we practice these techniques, our brain, as it is neuroplastic, should adapt and get the message that we are safe and it should lower the amount of times it triggers these alarms! Stay strong everyone!

    Wow. Thank you so much for this, Lucas. I've been researching ways to help manage my complex-PTSD for over 4 years now. It's a living hell - nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety, depression - the whole lot. I have tried EMDR, EFT, 7 different medications, meditation apps, reiki/massage, CBT, talking therapy... and yet I have never seen or found mention of the yogic techniques you present. I've literally just gone through the exercises as you talked me through them and, for the first time in 5 years, I've managed to get my heart rate back down and I genuinely feel calm.
    My blood pressure is consistently through the roof from the panic attacks and stress response...I haven't seen it go down to a normal level the whole time I've had c-PTSD. It's insane what just happened there. I can't describe how great that feels. It feels like a miracle. I feel better in my body right now, and it gives me hope that I'll still be able to get better long term. Thank you so much.

    This is a great reminder that the body is not the medium for anxiety’s messages, it is a partner in generating and sustaining anxiety. Those of us with anxiety disorders can’t always “think away” anxiety because our bodies are doing their own, separate thing while it’s happening. And, as he mentions, it’s not about never feeling anxious (or angry, another expression of anxiety), which everyone does, it’s about recovering quickly to a calm state when you do.

    When I was a child I used to modulate my humming with not just frequency, but tempo to clam myself and to sleep. As a baby I almost died and sadly I spent my first 3 months in a hospital. My mother said long ago, that I started humming in the hospital, that humming was always a part of my bedtime routine. Humming has always helped calm myself regardless if I was in physical, mental, or emotional destress. Though I knew well enough when I was young to hum even when I was in a great mood too. This is all true to this day 53 years later. Though I must add that I don't need to hum as much as I needed in my youth, as I am better able to dance through my emotions more gracefully. These days I have to make a point to hum, and that when I do put effort into it, that I defiantly feel I am resonating higher. As my life transforms, so does the reason I hum.

Just curious, I’ve always been “haunted” by the car accident my mom had just before I was born.

      BzMama , There are many things in this life that a lot of us experience that we cannot explain . I know I have experienced things that I wonder about and why the purpose of it and spent too many years overthinking it and suffering from the memories. I am now in my mid 70s and I realize that if I had had some counseling I would not have had to relive the trauma or at least for so long but that I would’ve found a healing and let the past be in the past and thank God for the good times in my life and for the people around me that love me . I pray that you can move on and if you feel you need to speak to someone to get a better understanding and then move on then I pray that you’ll find someone that can help you to let go and move on in your life . ❤

    I actually had a vagus nerve attack from my stomach to my neck and jaw. I thought it was a heart attack it hurt so bad. After an ER trip I was told to go to my heart doctor I do have heart issues. My heart Dr had previously told me I had a blocked artery, they went in and checked. Low and behold the artery that feeds the left side of my body, the ones that come out the top of the heart, well it grew on the left side wrapped around behind and then goes up. A miracle!! He told me to go to my stomach Dr who found a precancerous polyp, hpilori, and some kind of metaplasia. He removed the polyp and three years later I was due for my next scope. Everything was gone!! Another miracle! I do have spinal problems and one is facet syndrome. Misplaced pain. I can itch my toe and it hurts in my shoulder. I don’t know if that’s what caused the initial vagus reaction but I thank God it happened. A sequence of events that saved my life. I still have purpose thank you Jesus.

    Hello Lucas! I'm very pleased that I randomly fell on your video.
    I'm an ENT doctor and I found all these techniques very interesting. Especially about the Bramari, I'll suggest it to my patients, who have chronic rhinosinusitis. This chronic inflammation provokes the concentration of nitric acid inside the cavities. In addition, there's a poor ventilation of the cavities, and so these conditions create a vicious circle.
    Thanks again for the tips! Stay safe and healthy!

      @kazart4772 2 года назад +1

      To add a possibility to the CAUSES of rhinosinusitis, please look into Mast Cell disorders, Lectins, Histamine and Salicilate Intolerances. After 6 years of plugged sinuses, I used the Blood Type Diet app (Eat right for Your Type) by Peter D'Adamo and TOTALLY CLEARED MY SINUSES! Why? Coconut, Tapioca, Cassava and other foods are avoid Lectins for My blood type! Being dairy and gluten free, I had switched to consuming more of them. They are hidden in many foods also. Mast Cell people say if antihistamines are needed more than 3x in 1 YEAR, then look into a Mast Cell Disorder of some level.
      I DO agree that if one DOES get stuffed up as I do when I eat these food items, these yoga techniques DO WORK .

    Tests for vagus nerve issues:

    2. Check my small tongue (uvula) - if it is deviated to one side.
    3. Interoception - close my eyes and check what's going on in my body.
    "Massage" the vagus nerve:
    1. Mmmmmm x 10 times
    2. Triangle breathing (4seconds breathe-in, 4seconds hold + close nose with my thumb, index finger and little finger + chin lock, 4seconds breathe-out) x 10 times
    3. Ear massage (index finger inside the ear, thumb - on the back) - 5 circles in one direction, 5 circles in the opposite direction x 2 times (at least)

    Hi Lucas. Thank so much for this. I had singing lessons a few months ago, and i think that i stimulated the vagus nerve in such a way (with breathing and the vibrations of the voice) that i felt so diferent and with this wholesome stressless feeling. It was so good. I didnt know what happened but it was great. I think it was this. I need this reset of the vagus nerve. It made a huge diference.
    Thank you again, greatings from Portugal

      Wonderful point. Explains the peace felt by monks and nuns who sing and chant their prayers. Explains why listening and mentally singing along like with Gregorian is calming. Gives new perspective on chanting the Ommmm. Not attracted by techniques? Join a choir. Or sing to yourself. Best comment I’ve ever read on YT. Thanks and blessings.

    Deb Dana was a lecturer at the university I attended here in Maine. She taught a trauma class in the school of Social Work while also running her group practice for survivors of - primarily - sexual abuse. From there, she moved to the lecture circuit locally and then nationally. I have always admired her and am in awe of how her teachings have traveled even to the content creator of this video. The last time I attended one of her workshops was about 8 years ago, but everything said in this video is spot on with what Deb teaches in her warm and kind way.

    I had lost my sense of smell and taste for over 6 weeks. I'm fully vaccinated and tested negative for Covid. I tried your yoga breathing exercise (starting at 9:50) and the next day I was walking in the park and I could smell the flowers! I came home and could taste food once again. Thank you!!

      Wow! I had lost a pen when I was younger. I'm wearing a jacket and don't like mushrooms. I haven't tried any of this yet and can actually see colours.
      Such an amazing story, right? XD

    wow! that throat hum actually made me feel calmer. it's 1:22am and I'm still worried about work and what I didn't do and what needs to be done tomorrow. but trying this hum technique actually instantly made me feel more at peace and I was focused on my breath and sensation and my brain released the stressful thoughts. thank you so much!

    Once again great information from Lucas. I love learning about why yoga works, I know that it does but it helps me continue practicing when I understand “why”!
