I created this 25-minute guided NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) meditation to activate your vagus nerve and reset your nervous system. Whether you’re experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, or mental fatigue, this science-backed practice helps you access a deeply restorative state—without needing to fall asleep.

You’ll be guided through progressive muscle relaxation, slow breathing, and vagus nerve stimulation techniques that calm your body and mind. This process can trigger your innate healing state.

  • A full-body scan to release tension and enter parasympathetic rest

  • Gentle vagus nerve activation to support emotional regulation

  • A deep reset for your nervous system using NSDR principles

  • A powerful shift into calm, clarity, and presence

Proven Benefits of NSDR:
  • Reduces cortisol and chronic stress

  • Increases dopamine and focus

  • Dissolving of ego patterns
  • Supports neuroplasticity and mental clarity

Benefits of Vagus Nerve Activation:
