CALM NOW
Hack your brain to better wellness with science based tools to reduce anxiety and stress and improve a state of calm and relaxation.
About-Calm Now is different than other wellness apps in that it is using the brains built in natural mechanism to activate a state of relaxation by helping you stimulate your Vagus Nerve through simple techniques such as tapping, vibration, and guided breathing. By stimulating the Vagus Nerve you can reach a state of calm quicker than with ordinary calming tools. Benefits to Vagus Nerve stimulation include reaching a state of “relax and digest” promoting better mental and physical well-being. Give it a try today!
The vagus nerve is a key component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and restoring balance in the body. When the vagus nerve is stimulated with vibrations from the Calm Now app, it activates parasympathetic responses, leading to decreased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and enhanced digestion—all of which contribute to a sense of calm and well-being. When in a state of calm one may experience an increase in cognitive functioning, and reduced body inflammation .
Deep breathing triggers the body’s relaxation response, which is mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system. This response counteracts the stress response (fight-or-flight) and promotes relaxation throughout the body.
The rhythmic pattern of box breathing, with its extended exhalation and breath retention, stimulates the vagus nerve. This stimulation activates the body’s relaxation response, leading to decreased heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels.
The prolonged exhalation phase of the 4-7-8 breathing technique stimulates the vagus nerve. This stimulation triggers the body’s relaxation response, leading to a decrease in stress hormones, muscle tension, and overall physiological arousal.
The frequency of the humming sound produced during Bhramari Pranayama is believed to resonate with certain brainwaves associated with relaxation and meditation. This resonance can further enhance the calming effects of the practice and support vagal nerve activation.
