Medation and healing practices

[Jass]

"The stimulation of the vagus nerve through meditation and healing practices such as Dikitisa Ngolo (Kongo), Qi Gong(China) and Min Zin(Burma), could be the single most important method of self recovery found within warrior discipline. The Vagus Nerve is the tenth of twelve paired cranial nerves, and is the only nerve that starts in the brainstem (within the medula oblongata)and extends, through the jugular foramen, down below the head, to the neck, chest and abdomen. The Vagus nerve is responsible for such varied tasks as heart rate,governing the skeltal system, and a few muscle movements in the mouth; including speech, and keeping the Larynx open for breathing. It also receives some sensation from the outer ear. The Vagus is literally the mind-body connector, sometimes refered to as the Inner Eye. Therefore the various healing practices are ultimately rooted in the functions of the Vagus nerve."
