THE VAGUS NERVE RESET
To Calm Anxiety, Regulate Stress, and Restore Inner BalanceBy John J MaddenRecorded TrackLength1h 3m
About this audiobook
The Vagus Nerve Reset is a seven-day somatic program for anyone living with anxiety, chronic stress, and the persistent sense of being braced against life. Drawing on polyvagal theory and simple body-based practices — breath, vocal vibration, cool-water stimulation, gentle movement, and connection — the book guides readers back into relationship with the vagus nerve, the body's main pathway of regulation. Each day offers three short practices and a reflection, building gradually and requiring no prior experience. The goal is not to eliminate stress, but to restore the body's natural capacity to soften, settle, and return home to itself.
