Vagus Nerve Deck: 75 Exercises to Reset Your Nervous System Cards – August 13, 2024

This has been a game changer for me! Simple exercises that take very little time but have big impacts! So happy I took the chance to try them!

Fix yo-self! Are you dysregulated? Constantly on edge? Are you neurodivergent or the parent of a neurodivergent child, then this vagus nerve exercise deck is for you. I recommend vagus nerve exercises to my clients and I also do the exercises myself. Children can do them too. Starfish and humming are my favorite things to do during sessions with the ND kids I work with!

I purchased these as gifts for two friends who work from home. They were so interested in the deck! I kind of wish I would have gotten one for myself at the time, too.

Perfect for my therapy office! I love these cards and often use them with clients.

I’m using the cards with Elementary Students in a self-care class. They are great quality cards and I am glad to have them!

The Polyvagal Theory is pseudoscience that has been disproven. I was disappointed to see it mentioned in this deck. That doesn’t mean the deck isn’t useful as vagus nerve stimulation has been proven to be effective for relaxing the nervous system. I wish therapists would stop promoting Polyvagal Theory as it makes them seem woo woo and they can get the same point across without it. This deck has some wonderful suggestions for vagus nerve stimulation but it would have been better if the instructions for each card were more in depth. Like gargling. The card should instruct to take a deep breath first then slowly breathe out as the person gargles to allow them to actually reach 30 seconds each time. Instead, it just says gargle the water. I was also surprised ear massage wasn’t included. Overall, the cards are high quality and a nice reminder of exercises for a nervous system reset.

These have been very helpful and relaxing. I’m already noticing a difference in my stress levels..
