WHY DO CATS HAVE 9 LIVES?
If you think about it, no other animal is known to have more than even just 1 life. So why do the felines have the superpower to be known to have 9 lives?
Cats purr. They purr a lot. Their ability to purr actually helps stimulate a self-healing mechanism in their body to be resilient.
You have that same ability in stimulating your vagus nerve! The vagus nerve is Cranial Nerve 10. It exits the base of the skull and runs down the back of your throat and into almost every organ.
Anytime that you stimulate the back of the throat, you are stimulating your vagus nerve. Singing, humming, gargling, gagging and swallowing all work.
Practical ways to stimulate your vagus nerve during your day?
Try gargling with water after brushing your teeth, loud and proud, for 2 minutes, 2x a day.
You can sing or hum for a total of 30 minutes a day.
