The Effect of Traumatic Experiences on the Earth Element and the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve

Manuela Terlinden

Traumatic experiences have a profound effect on the nervous system as well as brain and gut health. The control of the digestive system is facilitated by the enteric nervous system which is influenced by the Vagus nerve. Reshaping the regulating capacity of the Vagus nerve and re-balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system is a resourceful tool to heal the Earth element and with it, digestive disorders. This presentation will discuss the structural and physiological alterations of the brain and the nervous system as well as the mental-emotional repercussions of trauma and how they affect the Earth element. Research has shown that the autonomic nervous system influences the activity of visceral organs. When the nervous system is focused on defense as an answer to trauma, rather than digestion, we will find diverse digestive disorders. Treating these imbalances via the Vagus nerve can have a healing effect not only on the nervous system but also on the digestion
