Melanie Smith – Access the Vagus Nerve’s Power to Heal 2022

Expand your knowledge of the vagus nerve during this opening class with a deep dive into Polyvagal Theory, exploring stress-response stages and the hierarchy of your autonomic nervous system.

You’ll discover how your autonomic nervous system is constantly oscillating between survival and safe states. You’ll understand the positive impact that being in a safe state has on your overall health and wellness, and how it supports feeling connected, being restored, and experiencing growth.

You’ll also gain greater clarity and insight into discerning where you are in the stages of freeze, fight, or flight… and into your need for positive social engagement.

Additionally, you’ll:

• Identify the triggers that habitually put you into fight-or-flight mode, and understand how this pattern can evolve into a freeze response
• Recognize when you have entered the freeze stage — and what your habitual response is
• Gain insights into how to move out of temporary and deeply embedded freeze-stage responses
• Learn variations of the Peace Maker Protocol and Vagal Tone Balancer to support yourself through these stages
• Experience the power of breathwork and sound to amplify the healing process

In this module, you’ll discover the critical role your hormones play in a stress response and how they affect your vagus nerve.

You’ll deepen your understanding of the function of the hippocampus and the interplay of the neurovascular gateways that are associated with your meridians, muscles, organs, and glands.

These reflexes have a neurological influence on the blood circulation that starts developing in a fetus. You’ll explore how stress — whether physical, emotional, biochemical, environmental, electromagnetic, or a combination — can switch off neurological gateways.

With Dr. Melanie, you’ll reconnect these communication pathways to support your pineal, pituitary, and hypothalamus glands to reduce stress and restore good vagal tone.

You’ll also:

• Identify the hormones involved in the stress-response loop
• Learn how to regulate the hippocampus to bring the sympathetic nervous system into a positive and calm state
• Restore vagal tone by activating neurovascular gateways
• Experience the Calm the Storm exercise to balance your sympathetic nervous system
• Determine your vagal nerve dysfunction by viewing the uvulae at the back of your throat

Experience the power of your chakras in this module as you develop skills to support good vagal tone, improved health, and increased compassion and connection.

You’ll also stimulate your intuition to support higher states of consciousness, and gain a deeper understanding of the critical role that your throat-chakra chambers have in regulating your metabolism, supporting a sense of safety, and creating a good vagal tone.

You’ll learn how a strong, healthy, attached aura reduces stress, boosts immune function, and enhances insight and intuition.

And you’ll explore profound ways to raise your energetic vibration to improve your capacity to heal with breathwork, toning, and chanting.

During this class, you’ll:

• Experience a vagus-nerve chakra meditation to restore vagal tone
• Infuse a golden healing ball of light throughout your chakras during a meditation to raise your energy vibration and activate universal light
• Use an ancient Chinese chant to amplify and support your vagus nerve
• Understand the role your auric field plays in communicating with your environment and activating your intuition
• Activate and balance the chambers of your throat chakra

In this integration session, Dr. Melanie will lead a review and deepening of the knowledge you gained during the first three classes.

You’ll also hear Dr. Melanie answer questions during an extended Q&A, where she’ll work more deeply with the group’s questions and realizations.

Clearing environmental and emotional toxins daily can create a significant shift in your vagus nerve’s ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

In this module, you’ll gain a greater understanding of how to release toxic barriers and expand your path to wellness.

You’ll work with an ancient healing system, the Chinese 5 Elements — water, wood, fire, earth, and metal.

Under stress, an element can create emotional and physical imbalances that affect your vagus nerve’s ability to rest, relax, restore, and digest.

You’ll also learn how the earth element plays a key role in regulating all of the elements as it energetically moves with the seasons.

During this class, you’ll:

• Master a daily detox routine to flush out environmental and emotional toxins
• Develop an awareness of negative thought patterns that can create toxins in the body
• Learn how to balance emotions by working with the Chinese 5 Elements
• Identify the Chinese 5 Elements and clear the associated emotions while supporting your vagus nerve

Our radiant energies provide us with the ability to experience positive emotions to generate joy, gratitude, and unconditional love. Internal and external stressors can create stagnation in the radiant circuits.

In this class, you’ll activate your radiant energies with an ancient Chinese chant for unconditional love. As you begin to elevate this radiant energy system to the next level, you’ll harness a deeper internal resilience to promote a healthy vagal tone.

You’ll also discover how the vagus nerve is a radiant circuit of communication for developing your intuition and improving overall health and wellbeing.

In this module, you’ll:

• Create intention and manifest optimal healing by implementing innovative methods of working with the vagus nerve
• Generate unconditional love with a sacred Chinese chant
• Move energy through a powerful Tai Chi exercise to accelerate vagus nerve healing
• Anchor your vagus nerve to infuse your organs with love and light

As you delve deeper into the microbiome, you’ll gain greater insight into caring for your gut health and healing chronic diseases.

Unlocking the mystery of the enteric nervous system, your second gut, will be a key component of this class, as well as incorporating energy tools to support overall intestinal health.

You’ll also identify neurotransmitters that are made in the gut and learn the important role the vagus nerve plays in communication between the brain and gut.

And you’ll revisit the role the fifth chakra plays in metabolic functions, and explore how the central meridian line is an important channel for regulating good gut health.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn about your enteric nervous system as it relates to gut health
• Expand your understanding of the importance of the microbiome as a key to healing chronic diseases
• Understand the vagus nerve as a superhighway to communicate with the microbiome
• Activate your vagus nerve to reduce inflammation and calm nervous system pathways

In this second integration session, Dr. Melanie will lead a review and deepening of the knowledge you gained during Modules 5, 6, and 7.

You’ll also hear Dr. Melanie answer questions during an extended Q&A, where she’ll work more deeply with the group’s questions and realizations.

The teachings will come vividly to life in response to the group field.

During this integration session, you’ll review:

• The Chinese 5 Elements for stress reduction and improved vagal tone
• The radiant circuit energies with the vagus nerve
• The microbiome and the relationship to the vagus nerve

Food and water are powerful medicines for the vagus nerve and your vibrational frequency.

In this module, you’ll discover how miraculous messages in water can infuse your cells with positive, high-vibrational tones… and how negative messages can infuse your cells with negative, low-vibrational tones.

You’ll learn how to enhance these energies and the profound impact that simple techniques can have on your foods, digestion, elimination, and physical and mental health.

You’ll also explore the importance of eating healthy quality foods that are free of additives, chemicals, and environmental toxins… and how exercise, hydration, and nutritional supplementation can be implemented to improve your vagal tone, reduce stress, and support weight loss.

During this class, you’ll:

• Identify foods that enhance vagal tone — and those that potentially harm it
• Learn the important properties of water for hydration and cellular health
• Explore the critical role that the vagus nerve plays in elimination and healthy bowel movements
• Experience a guided process to create a harmonious energetic frequency for the foods you ingest

In this module, you’ll discover how freeze states are connected to shock and trauma, and how to better navigate these difficult states.

You’ll learn how shock enters your body, the energetic pathway it travels… and which meridians, glands, and hormones are involved in shock, trauma, and freeze states.

You’ll discover why it’s important to have a strong, balanced heart chakra and learn to work with your body’s own electrical system to energetically release and clear trauma that’s being stored cellularly in the body.

Ultimately, you’ll become empowered by using tools to easily move out of trauma and freeze states toward a safe space of peace, harmony, and healing.

In this class, you’ll:

• Experience a simple technique to snap out of a freeze state
• Identify the location of the shock point and the energetic pathway in which shock travels through your body
• Learn a Quickie Shock Reliever protocol to minimize the effects of shock
• Understand how your kidneys and adrenals are impacted by shock and trauma

The vagus nerve is the director for all immune defense mechanisms. It travels through the major organs and can be the transportation highway for viruses of many types including SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), Epstein-Barr virus, the herpes family of viruses, and associations with multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, sepsis, Lyme disease, lupus, and more.

The vagus nerve sends a signal to your body that it needs to rest when it detects a peripheral infection. This signal of fatigue is pathologically exaggerated when an infection is localized along the vagus nerve pathway.

During this final class, you’ll learn how to disrupt the viral pathway and prevent viruses from infiltrating your immune system by strengthening and supporting your vagal tone.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore how the pathway of the vagus nerve transports viruses
• Work with vagus nerve protocols to enhance your immune system
• Understand the Covid-19 virus from an energetic perspective
• Experience powerful immune-boosting energy techniques
