-- Vagus Nerve Massage For Stress And Anxiety Relief --
A few months ago, I noticed something weird:
My ears were tight.
You probably don’t think of your ears as a place where you’d find muscle tension, but actually you have muscles all over your face and head.
And when your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight branch) is activated, it can cause your neck and facial muscles to tense up (along with other muscles in your body).
Fortunately, there is an easy way to relax this muscle tension with a natural stress management technique designed to target vagus nerve massage points in your ear.
The vagus nerve is your main parasympathetic nerve responsible for the “rest and digest” functions in your body, as well as your ability to feel joy and connection to other people.
And it has a branch that just happens to extend into your ear where you can massage it for stress and anxiety relief.
Interestingly, when I tried this vagus nerve massage technique, not only did my ears relax but my TMJ resolved too!
I have always been a teeth grinder when I’m under stress. Dentists keep recommending those guard things to prevent teeth grinding -- but they really don’t stop you from clenching your jaw.
They just prevent tooth damage from the grinding. And many people grind right through the tooth guards in a matter of months!
It’s helpful to resolve the underlying cause of tooth grinding with natural stress management techniques. We can do this by shifting your nervous system into a parasympathetic or relaxation state.
And that’s exactly what this vagus nerve massage is designed to do -- help you relieve stress and anxiety by directly stimulating and activating the primary nerve of your parasympathetic nervous system.
Vagus nerve massage benefits don’t just include TMJ relief -- you may also experience headache relief, better neck mobility, deeper breathing, improved digestive health and a general sense of relaxation and well-being.

I am so grateful for you and this video 🙏❤ As a child, I used to "play" with my ears a lot, it was very soothing and I would do it after getting yelled at, as I cried or when I got scared of my dad - which was almost everyday. I look back at the little girl who was constantly scared and hurt, and realize how she did her best to soothe herself and her body - regardless of people calling her weird for doing it. Im crying writing this cause Im overwhelmed... and I am grateful to be able to heal and get better at the same time 😭🙏❤
Wow! I had been in horrific anxiety for 5 days and I did this and it stopped. I was ready to go to the ER then I found this video. I am forever grateful. I have shared this video with others who have had excellent results in relief of anxiety. This is a complete life saver. Anxiety is hellish. Again I am so, so grateful!
I have been suffering from anxiety and panic disorder, from being a police officer for 23 years. My anxiety can creep up on me and suddenly I’m in a full blown anxiety attack. Watching this video and the one prior to this, made me realize that I’m not crazy, when people say, “what do you have to be anxious about, you’re retired…” It seems that it’s a program running in the background and that’s what I need to work on. Doing these exercises helped me to calm down just now, while having an attack. I pledge to myself, that I will work on this, watch and do the exercises here, and see how it will eventually stop the anxiety completely. Thank you so much for what you do, to help people.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psilocybin mushrooms healed me . I can't explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening . I also started micro dosing . It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety .
Can I do both sides at once?
I was placed on hospice care three weeks ago after 5 years of cancer. My anxiety level spiked significantly. Going to incorporate this technique in my self-care routine and hope to stay away from yet another medication. Thank you so very much! 🕊
I was in the middle of an anxiety attack, and this made that go away instantly. I was left feeling grounded and at peace.
How many times a day can we do this massage?
I am a Nurse and these easy massage techniques for vagus nerve stimulation IMMEDIATELY worked! They worked so well I could fall asleep! I had immediate sensations of calm that just flowed down both sides of my body. I feel like Im buzzing all over with calm, yoga has the same effect but this was immediate relief for me. I am
When I was a kid my dad use to do this massage for me and I fall asleep ❤️ thanks dad you are my hero
I spent 30 minutes doing these ear pulls and rubs and had the best nights sleep I've had in months! Next day I was walking on clouds and stress free all day. Thanks Sukie! <3
This stuff consistently opens up my whole body; I have so much more mobility in my neck and I just feel much looser. I don't understand what's going on but that doesn't really matter to be honest.
Wow 30 mins ago I went into a full blown panic attack, my heart racing, shaky, sweaty,etc. I felt like going to the hospital but I thought I would try a few things first. So I found some different suggestions on the internet of corse all different breathing exercises , which helped just a little bit. I came across this video which was something I have never heard of and thought I will give it a try. I am absolutely impressed. Honestly I can't believe it. I am starting to think " was I really having a panic attack?" I have never recovered from a panic attack this quickly. It is hard to believe that a little over 30 mins ago I was ready to go to the hospital and now I am completely back to myself. WTF!! AWESOME
Psychedelic are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety...it saved my life
Man! I'm a massage therapist and didn’t realize how subtle and relaxing these small stimulation could be! Wonderful work!
As a child who worried a lot, I often rubbed inside my ear with my finger and rubbed my thumbs around each other. It’s fascinating how your body must instinctively know what you need to do to calm yourself!
I have had trouble yawning for 2 days and my resting heart rate laying in bed was 101. My sister told me it was probably my vagus nerve. Researching a resolution, i found your video and I'm absolutely grateful to you. I first tried your video about moving your eyes and I fellt so calm doing it. Then i tried this one. Pushing the skin behind my ears made me burst into tears. My husband was watching and looked concerned. I told him I have no clue why I was crying. But it was so relieving to me. The yawning issue was so much less today and my heart rate has gone down. I'm going to keep trying this as I feel it has helped so much. Thank you!!
I have migraines for 30 years and doing these exercises instantly release the tension in my head and face!!! Thank you, Sukie!! ❤❤❤
