Thank you for this summary. I really enjoyed your presentation, slow enough to follow and digest what you're saying and meaning and of course the important information you bring into your talks. Thank you again.
All of these were so helpful. I watched 3 videos in a row. I was having a trauma response, with panic attacks, a tension headache, and nausea. I had to stay home from work. I could not stop my body from revolting against me. This was life changing. Thank you.
I normally find that I’m too stressed and in fight/flight to find benefit from excersises like these but damn dude your voice is so relaxing and I’m yawning away! Thank you for all you’re doing x
1- Laughter and even fake laughter. Find something that makes you laugh everyday. 2- Deep breathing. Engage the diaphragm. Exhales should be longer than our inhales. The 4/8/7 breath. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 8 sec, exhale for 7 sec. 3- Humming/chanting. 4- Gargling. It activates our vocal cords which stimulates the vagus nerve. 5- Singing: in the shower, while cooking, while taking a walk. 6- Pet connection (your own or someone else's) 7- Yawning. 8- Mindful Eating: to be present with our food.
Really appreciate for doing this calming technique video, it really helpful for my anxiety and insomnia especially through your gentle voice , thanks 🙏 !
I appreciate that yoo speak in a soft voice and get right into the subject...then broaden to hoyse keepung briefly and then go deeper into the subject. Very, very nice transitions. Wonderful video. Very heloful. Thank you.
Very helpful tips. Every time you said "yawn" I did! I've never noticed that before. Thank you for walking us through this with such a calming presence :)
I've had anaphylaxis and now get a lot of anxiety over whether I can breathe. My stomach gets super tense, and I can't find the right muscles to belly breathe because everything is clenched so hard. I think the sniffing/laughing trick might really help me with that! And I am using those calm down buttons in my ears regularly. Thank you so much. 💜💜💜
I'm regularly working on self directed compassion and when I start to yawn to the point my jaw hurts, cry, hiccuping, burping, get gas, I know that the self treatment hit the soft spot. Singing helped me to go through a lot of though times.
@@hmmcinerney oh, believe me, they are. I'm singing in a mix generation choir. We are singing at masses, different cultural events, we sing at funerals, weddings, you name it. Many members had difficult times and we helped them get on their feet with participating at practicing, organizing casual meetings after the practice so we talked a little, cried, drank a glass of wine and ate a good food. So yeah, choir is cleaning the soul and helping in therapeutic way both, those who listen and those who sing.
I really enjoyed your videos and your calming voice. The methods work very fast. I look forward to using them. I sent them to my daughter to help with stress. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Kyle, for this helpful video! It’s always helpful to have more tools in my toy chest for addressing the autonomic dysfunction that is part of the Long Haul COVID healing for millions of people in North America.
I just found your videos n found it very helpful. I didn’t know all these chronic sickness I was having was caused by my vagus nerve. Trying all your technics today. Thank you Kylie. Much love to you ❤️
Does the exercises help with really bad pains in front of head ? I’m looking up that link you sent me. My doctors here are no help at all. They don’t even know a lot about TBI ‘s and then environmental toxic exposures. I’m going to try the exercises soon. I can barely function from the pain. Your a Blessing Kyle
IS it important to differentiate between stimulating vagus nerve and calming vagus nerve as far as exercises? Some of these seem directed at stimulation, bit confused.
Very interesting. When I was a little girl, I used to have my father rub my ear. It just made me feel so good and I can relax and everything. I don't know how I got onto that at all, but I did, and I would ask him if he would rub my ear, and he would usually say yes. Suffer with Gastro paresis and I'm trying different things to help. I read where the vagus nerve activates the stomach's ability to empty, I sure am hoping it works because I am in a lot of pain and nausea. Thanks I will let you know if ot helps.If nothing else, I helps it helps the accompanying anxiety.
Thank you for making the Vagus Nerve important. It is very new in relation to other forms of calming oneself and more attention to it is needed. This VEGAS girl is happy to see the VEGUS nerve talked about more. Badumbum! 😊 Hope you got a good laugh from my help with your dad jokes! 😊 Thank you for your wonderful contributions to psychology, mental health and the brain being physical and the physical affected by the mental coming from the mind, and vise verse. The mind is our self talk. The brain is our body talk, both one, both the same and both need care for our whole to be healthy! ❤
Cyclic sighing is also very effective for calming down and can be combined with the deep breathing technique in the video to enhance it to another level. All you have to do is take another small inhale after finishing the slow inhale.
@calmwithkyle Thank you so much for your videos and I was curious if there are some books you can recommend? Anything about somatic healing and or polyvagal is appreciated. Thank you kindly!
You're welcome :) Hmm, good question. An informative one is "The Body Keeps the Score" - by Bissel Vander Kolk. Gabor Mate also has several excellent reads.
Can stress or anxity make you feel like youre legs are numb or youre skin is burning? Are these symptoms of vagus nerve? I have major stress and anxity
Potentially. Always best to check with your doctor first. But anxiety can manifest in our body as physical symptoms. I'll do a video in the future about this. Thank you!
Vagus nerve is the roadway to our soul. When activated we feel our capacity to live and love our life. When you laugh it’s a full true feeling that brings relief to built up stress and is a pressure release. When we meditate we are stimulating the Vagus Nerve.
I was told to do this daily by my therapist. One week in and I’m still not ok….will this eventually help me? I’m so scared of all the symptoms I’m experiencing from the anxiety 😢
If I can improve my vagus nerve will it also help with my digestion, I have IBS. No doubt that my vagus nerve is messed up because of heart palpitations and many other symptoms.
Research shows the Vagus Nerve link to digestion, so potentially yes, and, ruling out other medical issues. This is a really good question to bring to your doctor.
My wife sent this to me. I lost 1/2 my voice from surgery they say from damaging the Vagus nerve. I wish I could sing or hum but that doesn't work with me. I have been doing acupuncture and medical massage with little change. Any advice on a voice loss via Vagus nerve? I will try what I have heard on this. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, not specific advice. That being said, maybe check out some of my other Vagus nerve videos, they have specific exercises that target the Vagus Nerve and don't require voice. All the best!
Research shows that Mindfulness practice can potentially facilitate these experiences and it is to be practiced with a certified mindfulness teacher and/or certified coach.
Calm with Kyle. I had to stop at 5 bc they are the worst 5 I have ever heard of. Whoever these work on Bro, must be low level traumatized people. Good Grief.
Unfortunately, the stuff that makes me genuinely laugh is usually at the expense of some stranger being filmed as they are losing their shit or falling down.

Bessel Van Der Kolk says that choirs are societies way of regulating emotions.

Kyle is living proof of what he teaches works ... he is soooo calm. He has won me, I intend practicing what he teaches
Wow!! Thank you for the compliment. I must admit, I am always working on my own growth and it's not without its challenges. Take good care!
Great advice and presentation regards

IS it important to differentiate between stimulating vagus nerve and calming vagus nerve as far as exercises? Some of these seem directed at stimulation, bit confused.
His voice is calming my vagus nerve but he's not stimulating my vagus nerve.
no. it means activating it.. better way of looking at it.

Potentially. Always best to check with your doctor first. But anxiety can manifest in our body as physical symptoms. I'll do a video in the future about this. Thank you!
Yes. Look up TMS
Can you provide link to your video on mind & thought techniques that you mentioned in the beginning.
Sorry for the delay! This is not a video I have published yet - it is in the making!
Good
Thanks
Does stimulating the vagus nerve help activate the GABA system in the brain?
I'm not 100% certain on this but there is a connection.
Vagus nerve is the roadway to our soul. When activated we feel our capacity to live and love our life. When you laugh it’s a full true feeling that brings relief to built up stress and is a pressure release. When we meditate we are stimulating the Vagus Nerve.

Going to see if I can find a RUclips video that is nothing but yawning or laughing to help me to do each one of these.

Wish I could find a psychologist who knows what you know and practices EMDR.
@@juliadixon8465 awe. Check out EMDRIA.org if you're in Canada or the US. You can filter by location and find an EMDR clinician. Hope this helps.
All my humming is in my throat. I can’t feel it in my belly at all.
Thats actually just as beneficial. The Vagus nerve runs from your brain down to you gut, so it runs down both sides of your throat.
Fighting depression with meditation needs better concentration, and for that Vikramprash by Planet Ayurveda is a perfect solution.

Is this worth doing with dysautonomia? It’s so awful😢
Consult your Doctor first. yes and get a bunch of pills................ Thank you my friend , this is very helpful.
Yes, it can be very sad if that is the first thing that doctors jump too. There are some out there that do it different which is encouraging.
@@CalmwithKyle I,ll stick with you, thank you !
Why do i get dizzy when doing the 4-7-8
I love the choice of book 😂 so cute 4:58
Hahah thank you
How do I get an out-of-body experience?

I would get rid of that candle I believe they emit dangerous fumes
Noted! And it is removed from my backgrounds.
My body is o tight i cant even yawn when i have to✨️ the body doesnt feel safe to do so❤
Great insight. Slow and steady at your pace then :)
I feel good after I cry 😂

I have the only anxiety of my freeze Response
I must say, u are definitely out standing in your field too 😂
Hahahah I love this, thank you.
I saw the book you are reading " Dude, you're going to be a Dad" 😂😂😂 was it good or did it scare you to death?
Haha for me it was okay, because I was reading a lot of other books that were more in depth with the pregnancy and delivery process.
Music is very irritating. You have a soft voice.
Appreciate the feedback. Always looking to improve background music.
Calm with Kyle. I had to stop at 5 bc they are the worst 5 I have ever heard of. Whoever these work on Bro, must be low level traumatized people. Good Grief.
Thx for your feedback.
