This video comes from « Vagus Nerve Anatomy and Regulation Training » in Dubai with Professor Ludmila Vasilieva.
What touched me most was not only the science — but how deeply it connects with what I observe every day in practice.
During the training, I had the chance to share some of my clinical experience: how often jaw and tongue tension reflect a deeper state of inner holding… and how, when this area softens, the whole system begins to shift.
The muscles of the jaw and tongue are closely linked to the pathways of the vagus nerve. When we hold tension here (often unconsciously), it can keep the body in a state of subtle stress: shallow breath, tight throat, restless mind.
Gentle release of the jaw, softening the tongue, and bringing awareness to this area can send a signal of safety to the body.
Sometimes, a simple shift — unclenching, exhaling, softening — can open the door to deeper relaxation.
Small area… powerful effect.
