Vagus Nerve Meditations

Why the Vagus Nerve? Engaging the vagus nerve helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling to your body that it’s time to relax and rest. This approach not only prepares you for immediate rest but also contributes to long-term resilience against stress. You can find many more of my stress reduction and sleep meditations on YouTube, the Calm app, and the free app Insight Timer. 

Sleep

Vagus Nerve Sleep Meditation

Free overnight meditation that activates your vagus nerve, calms anxiety and helps you fall asleep naturally.

Whether you're winding down at bedtime or lying awake in the middle of the night, this meditation is here to help you let go, unwind, and invite restful sleep. It features gentle pink noise in the background, and the volume gets a little quieter as the night goes on, helping your nervous system relax even more deeply as you drift toward rest.

This soothing practice activates the vagus nerve, your body's internal switch for calm. You'll move through gentle breathwork, balanced breathing, and a full-body scan designed to help your nervous system settle so sleep can arrive naturally.

There’s nothing to force. No pressure to sleep. Just a safe space to relax deeply and allow your body to return to rest.

What to Expect:

• Vagus nerve activation through breathwork

• Balanced breathing to signal safety

• A full-body scan to release tension

• Soothing, steady narration to help you unwind

• Subtle pink noise that gently fades as the night progresses

As the session ends, if you haven’t already drifted off, you’ll find yourself ready to fall into a deep, peaceful sleep. Remember, sleep arises naturally under the right conditions, and tonight, I create those conditions just for you.
