Toning the vagus nerve using powerful and natural methods
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.
Meet the most important nerve you didn’t know you had
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.
