Full Description
The vagus nerve sends messages between your brain, heart, and digestive system, and with the help of your seven chakras it can be a psychological and spiritual system of healing. Trauma therapist C. J. Llewelyn shows you how to harness this power to heal your past and clear your body of intense reactions that no longer serve you, allowing you to access the compassionate energy of your inner light. When you understand your wiring, you can identify the information your nervous system is sending and work toward calming it. This book reveals the psychological dimensions each of your chakras hold and why you may hurt physically after experiencing traumas. Through more than twenty exercises and journal prompts, you can release that pain instead of running from it and focus on healing your mind, body, and soul.
