Tuning In to Your "Vagal Brake" to Discover Its Calming and Energizing Dimensions

A selection from Deb Dana's "Befriending Your Nervous System" audio program. Learn more here: bit.ly/44YSKJO
Your vagal brake is the regulator that unconsciously moves you between the calming states of "safety and connection" and the protective states of "fight and flight." In this session, you'll learn how to tune into and influence this balancing mechanism through gentle movement, breathing, and focused somatic awareness.

​@@brandonshepherd5751Thank you! I know that's the official concept that Deb Dana has always used. But I wonder why they put "break" on the title page. I know it's minor, but I wondered if this was a play on words (intentional) or an error.
