Healing Vibrations: Vagina, Vagus Nerve, and Vocal Cords

Just like there is a mind-body connection between the gut and brain through the vagus nerve that regulates our mental health and immune system based on the nervous system and stress (psychoneuroimmunology), there is also an energetic connection between the vagina and vocal cords through the vagus nerve. Midwives and doulas (childbirth assistants focused on the Mother) know this connection through ancient wisdom. They will tell a birthing mother to make very low “ohm” sounds to open the cervix and relax the vagina during childbirth rather than the high-pitched screaming and panting (hyperventilation) we see in the movies. The “O” shape and sound in the throat reverberates to the very anatomically similar vagina. Join @dilse.kirtidance and I on YouTube Live tonight to talk about this connection between the 3 v’s: vagina, vagus nerve, and vocal chords to show you how you can use it for healing and empowerment!
