Power Quotes From The
Show
The Profound Effects Of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
"For acute stress situations, especially when people are
really off balance, you actually will feel a more profound effect
because you are so far in the sympathetic state that getting the
vagus nerve to engage even a little is palpable. Normally, vagus
nerve stimulation is pretty subtle like when you start with
breathwork for the first time but as the brain recognizes what that
relaxation feels like, it's so much easier to get there and stay
there for a longer period of time because the brain is
neuroplastic." - Ami Brannon
How Xen Is Helping Recovering Addicts
"People who are recovering from addiction, wherever they're at
in their journey, are constantly dealing with something that is
typically much deeper than a substance. So, the dependency came
based on some event or psychological illness or a situation that
they're in and a lot of it is stress-related. Once somebody has
been through a detox period, staying in line with what is the best
way to maintain recovery takes a lot of work but intentional self
interventions and having tools in their toolbox are really
important. When you have a mood lift, even a little bit, then you
stop seeking solutions and things to push the pain or sadness down
because you feel okay and feeling okay is a lot better than feeling
rotten." - Ami Brannon
Grow Your Somatic Intelligence With Xen
"Somatic intelligence is really being aware of what's going on
in your body and paying attention to it. It's not as simple as
something like recognizing that you have a stomach ache; it's about
being aware of where you physically are such as at a family dinner,
focusing where your head is at, how you literally feel in the
moment, what your breath rate or heart rate is and if they're fast,
asking yourself, 'Why? Why is this happening?' So, the 'What now?'
is super important once you identify those things and that is one
of the pinnacle things we wanted to address when we developed the
Xen device. There are so many digital wearable devices out there
that read and measure what's going on with you but we wanted to add
to the 'Now what?' by giving people something simple that they
could go to that is at their disposal at any time." - Ami
Brannon
