Way to go with Day 25! These moves are some of my favorites to help relax the nervous system and get our lymphatic flowing! What did you notice with class? Let us know below!
I’m healing from 11 years of chronic illness with brain retraining, and I have recently found that yoga is an integral part of the healing process for me. I’ve used this video several times now and I can’t recommend it enough for limbic system healing. I especially love practicing it right before my brain retraining practice. Thanks again!
The perks of starting this challenge latter than the official date: Today I was short on time, and instead of skipping the practice all together I just looked for one that would be within a 10minutes range, and I ended up choosing this one. Just couldn't help myself but smiling from beginning to end: just a few minutes before, while I was preparing breakfast for my chidlren, they were playing with their Star Wars figures pretending a lightsaber confront between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan, and my toddler singing the imperial march 😂 and then Dr. Melissa asks us to do the "Darth Vader breathing" 😅 I think the Force is strong with me today 😊 it was a lovely practice ❤ thank you!
I love that you are finding classes that fit in best with your day so amazing and why we made this challenge. And absolutely love the timing of Darth Vader breathing ahhhhmazing 😂
I added this to my morning run- Maybe not the best choice :) BUT I adjusted it to include what I needed for my achy glutes, inner thighs and calves. Sat on block in a yogi squat during the beginning. Felt wonderful.
Very relaxing and therapeutic practice especially before bed thanks Melissa for the different technique I really learn new technique to use u are highly appreciated keep up the great work wonderful challenge
Hello! I have a question. If during the exercises for opening and closing my fists and rising my hand up and down of my head I feel sweating in my palms, is it a sympathetic responce? And if yes, what should I do? Thank you!
I read a lot about the breath and that we want to have the vocal cords relaxed. But with the ujjayi breath we are constricting the vocal cords which doesn’t seem that healthy to me. Unless we are just trying to constrict the vocal cords for a short period of time to through the vagus nerve?
It's all about your purpose with your breath and there are so many different types of breathing that have lots of benefits. For this particular purpose the ujjayi breath is causing a vibration that helps to stimulate the vagus nerve. This helps to calm the nervous system.
How long will these sessions be available please. Work is really busy and I’m struggling to find the time at the moment but do want to catch up! Frustrating 😳
@@DrMelissaOleson Thank you so much! I am loving this series and was hoping I could just keep repeating it once the 30 days are up. Thank you for doing this series.

Yes, I've had clients cry with certain releases, yoga stretches, and breathing exercises. Trauma can be stored in our bodies in different ways and stored in our tissues 💜
What is the fastest way to calm the vagus nerve? Just a few minutes of deep breathing can keep your vagus nerve active. Meditate. Meditation activates the vagus nerve and calms the network of nerves that control myriad physiological processes. “Meditation and mindfulness not only lower your heart rate, but they also reduce blood pressure levels.” Nutrients that support the vagus nerve include: Choline (to make acetylcholine, our main neurotransmitter) Vitamin B12. Magnesium.

I was yawning (in the best way) through this whole practice. My parasympathetic system really loves this one. Thank you.
Absolutely love this!

Does lymphatic massage also stimulate and tone the vagus nerve? So lymphatic massage has a dual function?

This made me cry. Is that normal? I’m thinking trauma that’s stored is coming to the surface
