The bestselling guide to the vagus nerve, now in 20+ languages: unlock the self-healing power of Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory

Vagus exercises for reducing anxiety, healing trauma, and rebalancing your autonomic nervous system

This comprehensive guide offers an easy-to-understand overview of the vagus nerve—and helps you unlock your body’s innate capacity to heal from stress, trauma, anxiety, and injury. 

Dr. Stanley Rosenberg, PhD, dispels long-held myths about the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and offers up-to-date research on how our physical health, emotional wellness, and the vagus nerve are all interconnected. Most importantly, he shows how these insights can help you heal your ANS—and live a less stressed, more balanced, and emotionally regulated life. This book offers:
  • An in-depth overview of Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory
  • Step-by-step self-help techniques for regulating the vagus nerve
  • Vagus exercises to relieve emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms
  • Real-life case studies and stories from the author’s clinical practice
  • Insights into the vagus nerve’s role in social behavior
  • An overview of what happens in our bodies when we get stuck in stress states—and how to heal them
  • Simple, research-backed recommendations for initiating deep relaxation, improving sleep, healing from trauma, and stimulating recovery from illness and injury

Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve is written for therapists, bodyworkers, trauma survivors, parents, and anyone struggling with chronic stress. Grounded in neurobiology research, clinical stories, and easy-to-follow exercises, this book gives you the tools to bring your body back into a state of safety, balance, and optimal functioning.
STANLEY ROSENBERG is an American-born author and body therapist. A Rolfer since 1983 and a practicing craniosacral therapist since 1987, he studied biomechanical craniosacral therapy for many years under Alain Gehin, trained in craniosacral therapy at the Upledger Institute and in biodynamic craniosacral courses with Giorgia Milne, studied applications for treating children with Benjamin Shield, and took courses in osteopathy with Jean-Pierre Barral.

For many years he led a school in Denmark, teaching structural integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical craniosacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity. He is the author of four books, published in Denmark: Nevermore Pain in the Back, Nevermore Stiff Neck, Pain Relief with Osteomassage, and Hwa Yu Tai Chi. In addition to his work as a body therapist, he has worked in theater— training actors in yoga, acrobatics, and voice—at various institutions, including Yale University, Brandeis University, Swarthmore College, and the National Theatre Schools of Denmark and Iceland. More information about the techniques presented in this book can be found on his website: www.stanleyrosenberg.com.

Derek Botten is a Canadian with a lifelong love of reading. Despite coming from a musical family, the only musical ability Derek had was talking about music. So, after a 35-year career in broadcasting, he continues to enjoy talking and reading as a full time voice artist.
