About this listen
The best-selling book on the topic — now in 13 languages.
This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory - one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms - from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain - indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve.
Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders.
Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
©2017 Stanley Rosenbery (P)2018 North Atlantic BooksCritic Reviews
“Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve is Stanley Rosenberg’s personal expression of his insight into and appreciation of the role that vagal pathways play in the healing process by calming the body and enabling the body to welcome touch. By intuitively understanding this integrated process, Stanley has developed a system of manipulations that promote states of safety, allowing the body to retune the nervous system, thus optimizing behavior, mental health, and physiological homeostasis.... His powerful insights, metaphors, and treatment models are beautifully conveyed and archived.” (From the foreword by Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, and professor of psychiatry, University of North Carolina)
“Stanley Rosenberg has put his encyclopedic clinical knowledge to work through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory, illuminating the path away from the underlying cause of so much of today’s disease: anxiety. A tour de force.” (Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains)
“An excellent and most valuable resource, written by one of the true masters in the field.” (Dr. Robert Schleip, director of the Fascia Research Group)

Excellent resource for practitioners.
Excellent information & explanation of the vagus nerve anatomy & function. Easy to use & teach self help techniques that are practical & actually effective. A wonderful resource for any practitioner. This is a better book to own & read rather than listen to, as it can get detailed & technical & may become difficult to follow, simply due to the nature of the data. The reader does a great job communicating the technical information - I can hear & feel the punctuation! Not exactly easy reading for the average person with no previous anatomy knowledge or interest. I will be purchasing a hard copy for my library.

Game changer
This book has easy hands on tools for resetting yourself. I did the exercises and felt immediate effects.
It’s a bit dry in spots where there is explanation of the nerves etc but it is for practitioners so that’s to be expected.
I still found the knowledge a life skill I will use time and time again.
I do however feel the need to sit down with my anatomy physiology book and listen to this again so I can fill in the blanks of understanding where each nerve is located

Essential listening for all
Great self help book offering bodyworkers or the lay person expanded awareness of the nervous system and how to balance it via cranial nerve exercises to re calibrate the body. Stress and the nervous system/Flight, Fright, Freeze (Dorsal Vagal activity) and a chapter on POTS.
The only problem by listening to this audiobook is that you can’t see the diagrams but youtube has many tutorials for those needing a visual.

repeats himself a lot
repeats "by using my techniques which I will explain later" for 9 chapters then blink and you'll miss the strategies

Interesting new science
Stanley Rosenberg has discovered and been working on some profound new connections linking the vagus nerve to a plethora of illnesses that challenge many people in modern society. Well worth diving into if your curious about health healing and it suffer with anxiety depression or know somebody with autism. It's amazing to witness the new discoveries made possible through these few humans researching the intricacies of our body and nerves
