The Vagus Nerve: It's so important to work on increasing your vagal tone as part of any healing journey.

+

When thoughts become intense and intrusive, move the body. The nervous system controls our thought patterns. Movement releases sympathetic (stress) energy from the nervous system. Your mind will be more clear after.

One of the most powerful ways to activate your vagus nerve is through a simple Neck Humming Flow. Sit or stand tall, slowly sweep your head in a gentle circle to release tension through the neck, then inhale deeply and exhale while humming softly, letting the vibration travel through your throat and chest, lightly tap the base of your skull behind your ears with your fingertips to awaken the auricular branch of the vagus, and finish with a long, soft sigh, dropping your shoulders and letting your body melt, this quick flow works on multiple pathways at once to instantly calm your nervous system, improve vagal tone, and leave you feeling grounded, centered, and ready to heal.

Judy Endow on the realities of being an autistic therapist.

“Three Misconceptions About Autism Often Construed as ‘Facts’

Parents of children with autism are the experts when it comes to autism.

If autistic adults are able to tell about their autistic experience, they are not autistic enough to really know about autism.

You will never find an autistic adult who is like your child. Therefore, autistic adults cannot speak to autism in your child.

You can become taller (longer) by imagining your spine being gently pulled from both ends, like a string, every time you breathe. The spine isn’t a rigid, weight bearing column, it’s suspended within the body by fascia, muscles, ligaments, and fluid pressure. When equal tension is applied from above and below, the curves organise, compression reduces, and space is created between each segment. With each inhale, imagine the string being lightly drawn longer, and with each exhale, allow the body to soften without losing that length. Nothing is forced, just like the string in the hands, the aim isn’t to pull harder but to create balanced tension, allowing posture to improve and the body to support itself from the inside out.
