40 Minute Vagus Nerve Meditation | Your Path to Stress Relief and Calm with Chibs Okereke

This 40 Minute Vagus Nerve Meditation is a self-soothing practice designed to help manage stress, calm anxiety, and gently guide your nervous system back toward balance. Crafted by Chibs Okereke — certified clinical hypnotherapist, mindfulness facilitator, and narrator on the Calm app — this meditation supports your body in shifting from high alert into rest and digest mode. Introduction - 0:00 Meditation Begins - 3:31 This guided meditation focuses on stimulating the vagus nerve — the key pathway in activating your body’s relaxation response. Through safety-based affirmations (“I am safe”), extended exhale breathing techniques, and a full progressive body relaxation sequence, you’ll help regulate heart rate, digestion, and emotional reactivity. Soothing background music plays throughout to support deeper calm and nervous system settling. By the end of this session, you may feel: • More grounded and steady • Less reactive to stress • Physically softer and more relaxed • Mentally clearer and calmer • Ready to continue your day — or ready for deep restorative sleep This meditation blends science-backed vagus nerve stimulation with gentle awareness-based relaxation, helping you not just calm down in the moment, but build resilience over time. Ideal for professionals, caregivers, or anyone navigating high stress, anxiety, burnout, or nervous system dysregulation. 💫 Explore my full meditation library at https://www.chibsmeditations.com/ for ad-free downloads and exclusive content.
