Your vagus nerve is now active, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. You are safe, you are calm, and you are in control.

Here is a script for a hypnotherapy session to activate the vagus nerve:

Induction

(Speak in a calm, soothing tone)

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to tap into the power of your vagus nerve. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax. Feel the weight of your seat, the sensation of the air on your skin, and the sound of my voice guiding you.

Imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment. It could be a beach at sunset, a forest glade, or a cozy mountain meadow. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this setting, and let go of any tension or stress.

Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am relaxed and calm’ to yourself. Feel the words resonating within you, calming your mind and body.”

Deepening

“Now, bring your attention to your breath. Focus on the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body. Imagine each breath as a wave, washing over you, calming and soothing you.

As you inhale, count ‘one’ to yourself. Hold the breath for a moment, and then exhale, counting ‘two.’ Continue this pattern, allowing yourself to settle deeper into relaxation with each breath.

Remember, you are safe, you are calm, and you are in control. Allow yourself to let go of any remaining tension, and sink deeper into relaxation.”

Vagus Nerve Activation

“Imagine a radiant, pulsing light at the base of your skull, where your vagus nerve resides. This light represents your body’s natural ability to heal and relax.

As you inhale, visualize this light expanding, filling your neck, throat, and chest. Feel the warmth and comfort of this light spreading throughout your body.

Now, imagine this light pulsing in rhythm with your heart, growing stronger with each beat. Feel your heart rate slowing, your breathing becoming more relaxed, and your mind calming.

Repeat the phrase ‘My vagus nerve is active and calm’ to yourself, allowing the words to resonate within you. Feel the gentle, soothing energy of your vagus nerve activating, promoting relaxation and balance throughout your body.”

Suggestions

“As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to fully surrender to the relaxation. Imagine any areas of tension or stress melting away, released with each exhalation.

Your vagus nerve is now active, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. You are safe, you are calm, and you are in control.

Remember, this feeling of relaxation and calm can be accessed at any time, simply by focusing on your breath and visualizing the pulsing light of your vagus nerve.”

Counting and Awakening

“Now, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, count ‘one’ to yourself. Take another breath in, and as you exhale, count ‘two.’ Continue counting, slowly and calmly, up to five.

As you reach the count of five, take a deep breath in, and when you exhale, slowly open your eyes. You are now fully awake, feeling refreshed, relaxed, and calm.

Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling. Notice the sensation of your body, the clarity of your mind, and the sense of calm that has settled within you.”

Remember to encourage the listener to practice self-hypnosis and visualization regularly to reinforce the activation of their vagus nerve and promote overall well-being.
