Chakras & the Vagus Nerve: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW NOW! to Heal Trauma AND Improve Soul Awareness
C.J. Llewelyn's journalism career gave her frontline experience with tragedy. Having seen spirit as a child, over time she recognized that supporting the healing of human beings on the psychological level is what opens us to being able to connect spiritually.
The psychological IS the spiritual. A practitioner of Family Systems therapy, EMDR, and Reiki, C.J. has published a remarkable book, "Chakas and the Vagus Nerve," a must-read primer for anyone who wants to discover how to tap into the healing combination of the subtle energy centers and the nervous system. Understanding the vagus nerve and how it relates to the chakra system enables us to recognize AND PROCESS trauma that would otherwise stand in the way of our clear connection to spirit!

Re: the physicist who needs proof... Acupuncture points are actually tiny chakras on their own. They connect to the larger network of energy channels and greater chakras. The acupuncture points have a different electrical potential on the surface of the skin than "off point." This is quantifiable! The point your guest danced around is that these energy centers (located at specific points along the spinal cord) "inform" the nervous system much like any other sensory organ does. And, since the Vagus nerve runs from the brain to the feet, it communicates with all 7 energy centers.
Nice little mistake within your beautiful and helpful explanation: the nerve is called vagus - not Vegas 😉
Good morning everyone, from beautiful Sedona! I’m still out here among the red rocks, but the scheduling is just right so that Lynette and I will be joining in. See you in just about an hour!
❤❤
Your FB page and posts on your Sedona experiences look so fantastic!!! Oh my how I wish I could be there. Hopefully the next time.
Good morning, so lovely to have you here! I am excited for today's lesson.
Hi Suzanne. I love your work and enjoy your interviews as you have a skilful way of getting the best out of your guests. This one, however, didn't resonate with me. I am very interested in the subject but didn't feel she expressed herself clearly enough and it came across as very disjointed.
Suzanne, I love your interviews and was looking so forward to this subject; however, it felt as though the guest never got to the point and she danced around the subject. Super difficult guest, but no reflection of you, can’t wait to see what you bring us next time. 🦋💜🦋
IMMEDIATE RELIEF can be achieved through polyvagal exercises - this is one: while lying on your back, interlock your fingers and place your hands behind your skull, then, without moving your head, look at a side for +60 seconds. When you get a sigh and your breathing becomes slow means it's working. You can do it in other postures, experiment. Other info: Holotropic breathing is probably the most effective technique for trauma release. Probably too intense for some people, though. Hypnosis is underrated. Binaural beats do work. And if you want a soft, yet deep technique, try shavasana - just lie down on a hard enough surface(so that your muscles relax and that you won't sleep), accept your sensations continuously and don't move for an hour or two. During that time you can also do the polyvagal exercises for the eyes, although there is benefit to be completely with your body. Love.
Another simple tool that's even used in clinical setting is the EFT tapping - you tap a few times to 7 points on your body - just look it up to find out which.
I'm having a hard time understanding how to benefit from this vagus nerve connection. I keep listening, but I don't seem to follow.
agree 💯%
I agree, very hard to follow what she is trying to convey.
Oh man!! I feel SO much better that someone said this. I REALLY wanted to hear this in order to best address some of my own stored trauma. I couldn’t follow at all. Seemed like her thoughts skipped all over the place. I’m not comforted that others felt confused but I was sitting here saying what’s wrong with me that I can’t connect her thoughts.
A good resource book: The Body Keeps the Score.
An excellent book by Bessel van der Kolk
“Triggered” is a word to avoid with Men, specifically Vets and First Responders…. Men mostly self delete with firearms and the word “Trigger” has a strong subliminal anchor for those who’s daily, real life in real time, responsibilities have literally been focused around actual triggers
Hi guys, CJ here. So looking forward to hanging out with you today!
Wise words, wonderful energy ❤ In a world where we can be anything, 🐝kind 🐝curious 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience & knowledge 💜
Hi CJ, I'm am very interested to see if you have ever heard of PNES (psychological non epileptic seizures)? If so, would Reike healing help this devastating complicated situation? TY
@@laurieparnell3525 Hi Laurie, I have not. I am so sorry you are going through this❤
I was led to heal myself after 40 yrs of extreme csa trauma. It took 20 yrs, to untangle the knots, but I proudly say today I healed myself. I was lead the entire way by my guide although I didn't always know. PTSD, DID, BPD, and 4 other generalize mood disorders.
Joining from Spring Lake, MI - Just saw the invite 30 minutes ago, had tears in my eyes because my soul was resonating with the little bit I read. So much trauma in my life and trying to understand it with. my spiritual heart/eyes. Divine Timing and Divine Order!
I get tears in my eyes when I meditate, do you as well?
You will get there to the place of peace. When you cry that is your soul emerging. You just need to love yourself enough to show up and experience those emotions. Then figure out the trauma in the PAST is no longer serving you so LET it GO🥰. Let yourself know that you are LOVE. Learn forgiveness. Let your spirit grow and become the light worker you are meant to be!! Blessings and prayers to you❤💕
Did she answer the question of vagus nerve and Chakras?
Hahaha - NO SHE DIDN’T - no matter how hard poor Suzanne tried to get her to answer what SHOULD BE a very easy straightforward answer! Haha thanks - thought it was just me.
@@dlgoldenmm yea it seemed like she immediately started to sidebar or talk herself away from the question 🤔 that is odd.
Suzanne was a bulldog though!! 🤣🤣
@@damienwayne__. Yesss - exactly! Made me think she was either avoiding the fairly important question (gee - just the TITLE of the segment! 🤷♀️😜) or might need to consider some Adderall. 😅 She wandered SO MUCH in her replies / conversation I actually had to stop listening as it was almost getting annoying
😊 it was cool to see how excited she was to be on Suzannes show. She was just on cloud 9
I bought her book, but listening to her talk, I'm not sure she is well grounded in the science she is trying to talk about. It may be better if she just sticks to her clinical examples. I'd like to hear that.
I also think the chakras are aligned with our endocrine glands. Thoughts and emotional energy funneled into the physical body via the glands and hormones.
I love to watch Suzanne's interviews, but this one seems like a lot of talk and not much of useful information.
Agree. Usually very interesting but her guest (is nice ) but not what I was searching for. I was looking for another talk. She talks an awful lot about “I’s” .. boring to me. Should be for audience. And not everyone can afford trauma therapy. Ppl can’t afford overseas visits etc. again , boring 🤦♀️
I learned so much from this interview and will listen to it again because, I want a better understanding of what I was hearing and learning, there were so many things that I didn't know. And so much of it made so much sense. This was awesome. Thank you. This is deep, and I've had to put on different listening ears, as her style and delivery are different then what I normally have listened to. I am so grateful for all these wonderful teachers. And I am oh so curious.
Sounds like shes saying we can't heal our trauma outside of a trauma therapists office? Quite a disempowering statement since many people do not have access to one.
I'm not a specialist nor a therapist. But I read a lot about trauma in the last few years. And as far as I am informed that isn't considered true anymore. There are other ways to detach from trauma and trauma response etc nowadays. Keep searching! A good book to start from (with information) is Bessel van der Kolk's "the body keeps the score".
❤Hello beautiful energies ! ❤ Harold, Fort Myers, FL
I get it! Whenever I hear the truth & understand it I feel a “knowing”.
Beautiful 🤩!!! How loving her approach is!!! Many times this interview brought tears to my eyes. Partly because it is so wonderful, & partly because i really could have used a therapist like her …10, 20, 30, 40, yrs ago!!! =^_^=
The thought of spending lots of money on trauma work therapy is very traumatizing to me 😮
😅😅😅
I am an energy medicine person, and I know that the nervous system IS a thing. I’m not sure why she said that.
I do agree with this having realised that my lymphatic system is where I’ve been clearing from - the literal parasympathetic system connected to the vagus nerve … is my understanding. I’ve since experienced ancestral healing and connection to my crown charkra and above during lymphatic massage.
I apply my tuning forks to chakras and within the Bio field, to harmonize frequency, specifically. I'm seeing a match made in heaven right here
Thank you ❤
When I do your 10 minute chakra meditation- I’m calming and rejuvenating my nervous system. It’s a perfect reset.
Thank you for replying so quickly. I appreciate it.
dearest suzanne-since you have been such an outstanding teacher for me i thought i might offer up an interesting tidbit for those who like to do their own research. we often crave sugar (especially dark chocolate because it is high in magnesium!) to attract the very thing we are most in need of. it takes a tremendous amount of magnesium to process sugar in our bodies -the ratio is outstanding once you understand the concept. when we take in supplemental magnesium say at 400 MG (milligrams) but eat sugar (chocolate will often have 7 G (grams) we often end up depleting magnesium in our bodies. 1 gram = 1,000 mg. so if you eat a piece of chocolate with 7,000 mg of sugar but take in 400 mg of supplemental magnesium we will always end up short. taking in more magnesium (always best to eat rich food sources as supplements are just that-supplemental to our diet if our diet is lacking). the most important detail (the attention and intention is often in the details) is to reduce the sugar so we are not robbing ourselves of the magnesium we get from real foods. sugar is not a food it is actually an anti-nutrient (something that takes more away from our body than it gives). if we focus our attention on increasing our magnesium often our sugar cravings go away. hope this helps and many blessings to all who struggle with sugar cravings.
interesting, thanks!
Thank you for this. 🌻
Good Morning*!!! Happy Spring Forward*!!! Love* and Blessings ALL*!!!
Hi Suzanne, I struggled with this interview as well and I wondered it you were familiar with Sandra Anne Taylor. She wrote a book called 'Your Quantum Break-Through Code' which she believes was channeled to her in a dream. A gift from Spirit that utilised the 25 years of her studying quantum physics and neuroscience. It is a method that works with the Third Eye chakra. It is very detailed and clearly explains exactly what, how and why the technique works.
Wow, great wisdom here❣️ Thank You so much!!! A day late to the live stream, but I did notice 11K views and only $284 donated to our service women and men and their families. If everyone who viewed this donated $1, that would equate to $11K. I challenge everyone to take the time to donate $1 or more for those who serve our country. Blessings to All❣️
This is a tad convoluted for me.
I'll be listening
Beautiful. As a midwife, calling birth "trauma" and "life or death" is not entirely true. Birth is safe and normal for healthy women. Birth can be extremely healing, especially for women who have experienced previous birth traumas and/or sexual trauma. But labeling birth as "traumatic" as the norm sets our standards very low.
This is nice I was punched in my throat in my sleep I got all worked up by a family by a group so they could use my power Vega this is a very nice episode thank you
Please help Suzanne, can you please show how the chakras clear and get to the point please,🙏💖✨
this is actually pre-recorded and you were assisting to the premiere of the recording. I believe Suzanne had been gently trying to bring that point back to the discussion🙂
Would love a podcast with Dr Sue Morter and talk about the Energy Codes. 🙏🏻
This relaties to the teachings in sahaya yoga. The teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi who talks about the subtle system.
Thanks
Grieving mother !!!Suzanne my daughter died tragically.. was she in pain before she died . This has been in my head since
Beautiful! Sorry I missed the beginning
Chakras are each related to the endocrine systems of each area of the body
I’m dying to know the song you were swaying to!
I have a daughter who has a vegal nerve stimulater for seizures, I am so curious about the many ramifications of this.
In the early 90's, I was in love with a man and at one point, I felt Love shoot out of my heart chakra like a Light House beam.
❤
I've been looking for more practical applications for treating the Vagus nerve. Connecting the dots between thoughts feelings and the physical, is the W holistic method for restorative healing
Suzanne , interesting interview !! Gratitude to you and your team Beyond ... beyond !! BIG QUESTION ?? What was the music you were listening when your friend called?? You then out your hands on her heart and back and shared one of your earphones with her WHAT WAS IT So much love from South Africa
I like to use the word GLIMMERED … instead of triggered🙏💫🥰
🎉 love it🎉
Can you recommend anyone for energy healer in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺?
This is hitting me HARD. This dorsal vagal immobilization. Bc of relationship trauma I’ve become almost sedentary. I want to want to get up & do something good for me but I feel some internal resistance. I call it my “blockage”. I’m aware of it but did not know what it was…omg! Now I do!
❤
Just wondering how past lives fit in to trauma and if that is called “karma trauma” ? If so how is that different from this present life trauma and do you heal it differently ?
so many types of magnesium - what is best
This particular interview has been really hard for me to follow.
How do you use chakras and vagus nerve to settle hypervigilance??
Not sure about the chakras, but try shavasana daily for +1 hour - just lie down on a hard enough surface(so that your muscles relax and that you won't sleep), accept your sensations continuously and don't move. During that time you can also do the vagus exercises for the eyes(look at one side for 60 seconds). When you get a sigh and your breathing becomes deeper it means you've began pacifying your vagus nerve. It's possible to do the vagal exercises for the eyes anywhere safe, by the way. Another way is to do intense breathing like Wim Hof(+3 rounds) or Holotropic. Love.

Hi, i found it interesting as im a relaxation therapist. However to be honest I found the information given was disjointed and really did not clearly explain the connection between charkras and vagus nerve. Im spiritual and for ones that are not it is too complex in the way she tried to explain it. I dont mean to offend but rather give honest feedback.

Suzanne you may have scared the snake. One day I was washing down around my pool, we have a brick lattice fence and a snake crawled through the hole between the bricks after I screamed but the snake ran as I did too!
Can a releasement exercise remove trauma? What do you recommend to remove trauma?
Try polyvagal exercises, EFT tapping.

I preordered the book on Audible but don’t know to access gifts..
Me either!
I've read where you take a photo of your receipt and send it in an e-mail to the contact info on Suzanne's web page.

Hi Everyone ❤️
Hello beautiful people 🤗
Can someone text the correct spelling of Steven/Stephen Borguss/Portuss please.
There’s Trauma with a capital T and trauma with a lowercase t.
No to the word "triggering"!
All the pinwheel edits make me dizzy 😵💫 Would be nice if you just had normal cuts
Hi Suzanne, this was excellent. But I felt you interrupted her too much and many times what she came to say was diverted. It would be better if you allow the guest to finish what they want to say and then edit what you don't want. Because the you are cutting off the most Important information.
What do you do with 13 years of sexual abuse, total hypervigilance..
Was hoping to learn more about how to heal 24/7 anxiety from C.J. on this interview. Thanks anyway!
Suzanne was very patient with her. Too much talking and nothing much to do yourself.
Not liking the flipping back and forth from her to both of you
Very confusing!!!
