What's the difference between vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) and vagal nerve toning (VNT)?
It’s easy to associate nerves with electric stimulation. Nerves conduct electrical impulses and are thought of as like wiring, so it’s an understandable connection. But what if we want to tone rather than stimulate the nervous system? The difference is that toning improves natural strength, like toning a muscle, compared to stimulation, with the potential for over-stimulation, like having too much caffeine. What’s the difference and which is right for me?

Do you ever feel knots in your stomach when stressed? That’s the vagus nerve in action. This cranial nerve allows the main organs of the body to communicate, and is often called the gut-brain superhighway. The vagus nerve is responsible for the way your body reacts to stress, so toning this important nerve can play an important role in improving your digestion, heart health and breathing rate.
The vagus nerve regulates sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. The sympathetic nervous system drives the "fight or flight" response in stressful situations, while the parasympathetic nervous system manages our “rest and digest” state. [read more]
"Think of the vagus nerve as the brake pedal that helps the body and mind slow down in order to counter the harmful effects of a chronic and unmanaged stress response.” - Stephen Porges, Kinsey Institute
Future-proof yourself by building stress resilience
Stress resilience is our body’s ability to recognize a challenging situation and choose a positive way to respond to it. It means that the body will return to a state of equilibrium faster. By using Sensate, you can tone your vagus nerve which will help regulate your nervous system. You can measure the function of your vagus nerve by measuring your heart rate variability (HRV). A good HRV result assumes good vagal tone, so your nervous system will be more flexible and return to equilibrium faster after stress.

Not all sounds are created equal. Sensate’s mix of infrasonic frequencies and sound design send a powerful signal throughout the body.
Infrasonic Resonance
Sensate taps into the phenomenon of bone conduction. Your chest resonates sound, sending out a frequency that signals the vagus nerve to relax.
Soundscapes
These are developed using a proprietary process, mixing engineered frequency harmonics with auditory stimuli and frequency following responses.
Comforting Hum
With Sensate on your chest, the comforting hum taps into your ancient instincts of safety and relaxation.
