Praise for this book
"Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve is Stanley Rosenberg's personal expression of his insight into and appreciation of the role that vagal pathways play in the healing process by calming the body and enabling the body to welcome touch. By intuitively understanding this integrated process, Stanley has developed a system of manipulations that promote states of safety, allowing the body to retune the nervous system, thus optimizing behavior, mental health, and physiological homeostasis.... His powerful insights, metaphors, and treatment models are beautifully conveyed and archived."--From the foreword by Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, and professor of psychiatry, University of North Carolina "Stanley Rosenberg has put his encyclopedic clinical knowledge to work through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory, illuminating the path away from the underlying cause of so much of today's disease: anxiety. A tour de force."--Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains "Stanley Rosenberg is one of the world's most skilled and creative hands-on therapists. His diagnostic and treatment techniques have immediate application for everyone. Read and enjoy this book, and apply the techniques in your life or in your practice."--James L. Oschman, PhD, author of Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis "An excellent and most valuable resource, written by one of the true masters in the field."-- Dr. Robert Schleip, director of the Fascia Research Group
