@Badflower I love that “Haunting You” is also a major ear worm that will undoubtedly be stuck in my head for months (except it’s great, so it’s a haunting my soul can happily coexist with).
Bookmark to practice any time you need to self regulate.
The vagus nerve is a bundle of nerves that goes from the brain stem to every major organ.
It regulates our autonomic nervous system.
We can access vagus nerve stimulation through our ears. Using your finger pull down with medium pressure. Then do some gentle circular motions. Repeat on both sides.
Notice how calm your entire body feels afterwards. How your thoughts are less racing. If you get the urge to yawn, or cry, or release your jaw— do it. This is your nervous system releasing sympathetic energy.
And yes, this is why q-tips feel so good.

Our nervous system state creates: our thought patterns, how we communicate, what we see in our environment, and how we relate to other people. We aren’t the same person in fight or flight that we are within a parasympathetic (rest) state.
