Vagus Nerve Deck: 75 Exercises to Reset Your Nervous System

This is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. The creator of this Melissa Romano has certainly placed a lot of thought and creativity in this product. As a creative myself, I do see the quality of her work. The color coded cards are beautiful. This card pack delivers more than I had expected and the price was great as well. I wish there were more demonstrations on some of the cards and I realize spacing might have been an issue but there are demonstrations on many of the cards however and it was easy to read so no worries at all. Otherwise, this was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time for self-care and it Delivered!!! I just tried some of the techniques and the "proof is in the pudding". I feel very relaxed. I purchased to supplement a health issue and I believe it is going to be a great addition to my lifestyle change and healing results. Its easy enough to pull a few cards and begin working on yourself. This delivered overtime for me!! Thank you.

This deck is so useful. There are 3 kinds of cards: vitality, calm, and connection. The little booklet associates the categories with autonomic nervous system states. There are 25 of each. The exercises I have tried have been helpful. The cards don't seem to have original ideas -- I have seen many of the ideas elsewhere. Examples: box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, self-hug, and voo sound. Enough are new to me to make it interesting. It is nice to have them in card form in once place. They seem to be what I needed. The Calm cards even help improve sleep. The cards are close to 4x6, with rounded edges. The box is sturdy and opens up like a book, and doesn't have the kind of lips that sometimes bend cards. Print is pretty large. Deb Dana has a polyvagal deck of 58 cards with much more original options. She's very invested in the theory, so those may be better overall, and the included theory is probably more up to date. I like the Vagus Nerve Deck because these cards have more of a quick start feel -- easy exercises, fewer words -- great for stress. I'm glad I have both decks.

I am loving this purchase. The cards are thick enough not to be easily bent and have a coating on them to protect and make them wipeable in case you share them with others. The exercises are broken down into 3 categories, Calm, Vitality and Connection. The instructions printed on them are easy to understand and easy to follow. I am enjoying this set very much as I can enhance my self-care practice with adding these exercises into my daily routine. I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting to get their stress under control and incorporate some very useful techniques to do so.

These cards are wonderful. Simple procedures to help reset Vagus nerve and way cheaper than the gadgets for your neck.

The quality and packaging on this card deck is very gift-worthy and beautifully made. The illustrations are clear and the exercises are helpful. Happy with my purchase!

The Polyvagal Theory is pseudoscience that has been disproven. I was disappointed to see it mentioned in this deck. That doesn’t mean the deck isn’t useful as vagus nerve stimulation has been proven to be effective for relaxing the nervous system. I wish therapists would stop promoting Polyvagal Theory as it makes them seem woo woo and they can get the same point across without it. This deck has some wonderful suggestions for vagus nerve stimulation but it would have been better if the instructions for each card were more in depth. Like gargling. The card should instruct to take a deep breath first then slowly breathe out as the person gargles to allow them to actually reach 30 seconds each time. Instead, it just says gargle the water. I was also surprised ear massage wasn’t included. Overall, the cards are high quality and a nice reminder of exercises for a nervous system reset.

The cards are broken down to vitality, calm and connection with exercises/breathwork/stretches/massages that focus on activating the vagus nerve. Easy and well laid out. I may do these more than my husband who I bought them for.

Awesome deck. High quality stock with nice sturdy box. These are exactly what the description says I highly recommend these for everyone. Honestly I've not seen anything else about the Vagus Nerve and how important it is and that we must take care of it,our health. Price is great. Easy to follow and do exercises.

Die Kartensetbox ist ziemlich beschädigt, dafür dass das Produkt Neuware sein soll. Der Versandkarton war völlig unbeschädigt. Das geht gar nicht. Was auch nicht geht: dass ich keine Möglichkeit gefunden habe, mich zu beschweren.

Me gustó mucho

Very Good and very important content.

I have been wanting to start doing vagus nerve exercises for a long time but struggled with implementing and figuring out which ones to do and how to do them. This deck is perfect! Each day I pull a card and it only takes 1-2 mins. A great way for me to learn and practice the different exercises. The instructions on the back of each card are easy to follow and the print size is great!

I learned a lot from my psychosomatic physiotherapist. These cards were disappointing, repetitive and easy. Returned the deck.
