Vagus Nerve Deck: 75 Exercises to Reset Your Nervous System

Wonderful deck , well made and useful!

Very informative and useful

Love the exercises in this card pack. The relief to the nervous system is very noticeable to me, stress melts away if I get myself to do a singe card

These have been very helpful and relaxing. I’m already noticing a difference in my stress levels..

I use this in my yoga classes! SO many fun exercises that I can slide into my class which help my students to learn about the importance and ease of keeping the vegas nerve in a parasympathetic state.

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.

I found the cards thorough, educational, and useful, especially to help me calm down. And I really need to calm down often. I knew some of these exercises already, but I'm definitely glad I bought it. Having the physical cards helps remind me to use and practice them.I'd prefer if the cards had illustrations, but I understand this deck is probably produced more cheaply without them, and price was a concern for me.Some of the exercises are more complicated and some are extremely simple. Some work well for me and others don't. But overall, this deck has been very helpful to ground and balance myself in difficult times. They help me sleep. They help me out of anxiety attacks. I'm very pleased.

I’m using the cards with Elementary Students in a self-care class. They are great quality cards and I am glad to have them!
