The puckering of the lips activates the Vegas Nerve, the longest cranial nerve. It has parasympathetic fibers. It has two branches: the superior branch innervates the skin the concha of the ear. And the inferior branch has two branches that go through the Upper throat, Thorax and voice box. The second inferior branch has cardiac, esophageal and pulmonary branch. Lastly the Vegas nerve innervates the abdomen and our digestive track.

This space invites our intuition and sense of steadiness to guide us.we are then able to serve and support our families and communities through a grounded and peaceful state of mind and body.
