My 64 Vagus Nerve Exercise Cards are designed to promote nervous system regulation, and support mental health. Perfect for polyvagal therapy, these cards provide somatic exercises for emotional regulation, and trauma recovery, offering practical tools for stress management, anxiety, and PTSD.

Research shows that the vagus nerve plays a key role in calming your body and mind, helping you manage stress, regulate emotions, and heal from trauma through simple, effective exercises. Each card features a focused vagus nerve exercise or coping skill, helping you integrate therapy tools into your daily routine. Whether you're a professional using these as trauma therapy resources or someone seeking personal growth, these cards are ideal for nervous system support.

These therapy resources are grounded in polyvagal theory, offering insights into nervous system regulation through accessible, hands-on practices. Use them to build self-awareness, foster emotional stability, and support healing from trauma.
These 64 Somatic Exercise Cards are available as a PDF file for immediate printing and use. They also make a practical gift.
