 The vagus nerve is the longest of the cranial nerves. Its functions contribute to the autonomic nervous system. These include sensory, motor and parasympathetic functions. Most notably, the vagus nerve affects blood pressure, heart rate, calmness, relaxation, alertness, and digestion. Moreover, of particular significance to health, one has to look at its role in inflammation. Mounting evidence suggests a common underlying cause of major degenerative diseases is inflammation. Observational studies and laboratory research suggests that inflammation can be a causative factor in many diseases. These include coronary disease, diabetes, cancer, colitis, Alzheimers, autoimmune disorders, just to name a few. Transdermal nerve stimulation with electroacupuncture is currently endorsed by WHO to control pain and inflammation. Furthermore, research shows that acupuncture can specifically stimulate the vagus nerve. Auricular or “ear acupuncture” and some body points are effective in stimulating this nerve. This can address healing such disorders as: • Depression • SIBO • Anxiety • Panic Attacks • Tinnitus • IBS • Weight Gain • Diabetes • Chronic Fatigue • Migraines • MS • Rheumatoid Arthritis Acupuncture can significantly modulate pro inflammatory cytokines, lessoning the inflammation response. In addition, Neuroimmunogenic regulation of inflammation further provides insights into studies on how brain activity affects mind body health. For instance, meditation has been reported to increase vagus nerve activity. This “wanderer” nerve that runs from your brain all the way to your gut is known as a remarkable internal sensory system. This system includes your emotions. “I felt it in my gut”, is derived from this. Science is just now starting to realize the importance of emotions on health. For any disease, for true healing to occur, the emotional undertone needs to be addressed. Working with the electrodynamic field, acupuncture and increasing vagus tone is a natural safe way to regulate emotions, specifically, suppressed emotions. This will lead to true health because all of the bodies: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical have to be aligned. Many Blessings, Jennifer

 It was 1994, when Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher, conducted an experiment where he was looking at the relationship between thought and matter. In this experiment he looked at water crystals in a microscope after directing differing words or thoughts to the water. When he said loving words (I love you, thank you, you are amazing) directed at the water, beautiful, snowflake like crystals would form. However, he observed disfigured crystals when negative words (I hate you, you make me sick) were directed at the water. This experiment was a catalyst to many more experiments that could measure vibrations. We are comprised of 70% water and this discovery proves how powerful words and thoughts are.  One of my favorite books that explores this is "Every Word Has Power", by Yvonne Oswald, PhD. What you verbally say and the consistent thought patterns you have has such a profound effect on your life. Everything is comprised of energy and we create our reality with our words and thoughts. In Yvonne's book, she explains ways to harness the power of your conscious mind and your subconscious mind, which is key to creating your life. For example, the subconscious mind does not process negative comments. Everybody has heard the phrase, "Don't think of a pink elephant." You cannot help but think of a pink elephant. Your unconscious mind cannot process negative commands. You can use this knowledge to redirect the subconscious mind. Instead of saying, "I'm sick," a better alternative is to say, "I'm not very healthy." The subconscious will hear, "I'm very healthy." Furthermore, saying, "I'm feeling better and better everyday," would be the best, most empowering way to think and speak. This is also important when redirecting someone. When you say to someone, "don't forget your books," their subconscious hears, "forget your books". A better alternative would be, "please remember your books." In addition to how we communicate with others, how we speak to ourselves is the most important. If someone is consistently saying to themselves, "I'm stupid," that repeated vibration will be in their energy field and the universe will bring by law of attraction a situation to match that particular vibration. This could result in that person feeling the reiteration of that emotion. The universe is essentially a mirror to our thoughts and beliefs, conscious and subconscious! If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. -Mildred Norman Ryder, a.k.a. Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981) Many blessings,
Jennifer  The quick pulse, founded by the prominent healer, spiritual teacher Jo Dunning, is a quantum energy technique that uses source energy to rapidly balance any aspect of the mind, body, and spirit. This healing process can also clear limiting beliefs, low self-esteem, physical conditions, unwanted personality traits, phobias, abundance issues and many other limiting experiences. I was trained by her several years ago and one way I use this work in my practice is to change subconscious beliefs. Negative thoughts and beliefs that are formed especially during the formative years are stored in our subconscious mind. These are often affecting our lives now. We are actually operating from the subconscious mind most of the time. The result is living a life not always congruent with our creative conscious mind. This mind ruling the show often leads to addictions, stress, and low self worth issues affecting all levels of our lives. I personally believe that a vast majority of health related issues have an underlining emotional issue. These first manifest in the emotional body and then will surface in the physical body if the issue is not addressed. For instance, cancer is often repressed resentment or anger, low back pain is often fear of lack of money, and knee pain is reluctance to moving forward in one area of life. In addition, I have found this work to be beneficial in working with fertility patients. If someone believes they can't get pregnant, won't be a good mom, can't afford to have children, too old to have children, etc., they will have difficulty conceiving. One main job of the subconscious is to keep you safe. If the subconscious mind believes an experience might jeopardize your safety, it will keep that experience from you. 
Our body is our internal guidance system always trying to communicate with us. When we are in pain, fatigued, anxious, depressed, the answer always lies within and seldom cured by taking a medication. Ask your body what it is trying to convey to you. Do the inner work of clearing subconscious beliefs. There are numerous methods to do this, a few examples are:
