Description
The best-selling book on the topic—now in 20 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 thirty 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.

      • bioText: STANLEY ROSENBERG is an American-born author and body therapist. A
        Rolfer since 1983 and a practicing craniosacral therapist since 1987, he
        studied biomechanical craniosacral therapy for many years under Alain
        Gehin, trained in craniosacral therapy at the Upledger Institute and in
        biodynamic craniosacral courses with Giorgia Milne, studied applications
        for treating children with Benjamin Shield, and took courses in
        osteopathy with Jean-Pierre Barral.

        For many years he led a school in Denmark, teaching structural
        integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical
        craniosacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity. He is the
        author of four books, published in Denmark: Nevermore Pain in the
        Back, Nevermore Stiff Neck, Pain Relief with Osteomassage, and Hwa
        Yu Tai Chi. In addition to his work as a body therapist, he has worked
        in theater— training actors in yoga, acrobatics, and voice—at various
        institutions, including Yale University, Brandeis University, Swarthmore
        College, and the National Theatre Schools of Denmark and Iceland.
        More information about the techniques presented in this book can be

      • premium: False
      • source: From the foreword by Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, and professor of psychiatry, University of North Carolina
      • content: "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."
