"An excellent book tying together the chakras with a deep understanding of trauma. Truly unique in its approach, the author writes with great compassion and well-articulated science as she explores the various ways the vagus nerve plays out in each chakra. With many easy to follow exercises for healing and awakening, I highly recommend this book for therapists and anyone on their own healing journey."—Anodea Judith, PhD, author of Wheels of Life, Chakra Yoga, and Eastern Body–Western Mind"You are all equipped with a highly intelligent vehicle that carries you through life: your body. C.J. Llewelyn has given you the user's manual to help you maintain and optimize the complex intersection of your nervous and endocrine systems that form the physiological basis of your energetic body and the chakras. The vagus nerve, also known as the wandering nerve, is a mind-body superhighway of communication. The practices within this book are the keys that help you to successfully navigate stress while allowing you to find greater freedom in your body and mind."—Arielle Schwartz, PhD, psychologist, author of Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga, and founder of Resilience Informed Therapy
