Vagus Bloom

Vagus Bloom helps you build a calmer, more resilient nervous system to enhance stress management and overall wellness through daily vagus nerve practices. The vagus nerve — the longest nerve in your body — connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and gut. It regulates your stress response, heart rate, digestion, and inflammation. When it's working well, you recover from stress faster and feel more grounded. When it's not, everything runs a little hot. Vagus Bloom gives you the tools to train this nerve, one practice at a time. DAILY CHECK-IN Start each day by noticing how your body feels. A quick 30-second check-in assesses your nervous system state and recommends the right practice for where you are today. GUIDED PRACTICES Breathing exercises, ear-based vagal stimulation, vocal techniques, cold exposure, and movement practices — each targeting a specific branch of the vagus nerve. Choose your duration, follow the guided timer, and build your practice over days and weeks. VAGAL STATE TRACKING See your nervous system trends over time. The vagal state graph shows where you've been and how your baseline is shifting as you practice consistently. INFORMATIVE ARTICLES In-depth articles covering vagus nerve science, polyvagal theory, recent research, and practical technique guides. 5-DAY VAGUS LAUNCH New to vagus nerve practices? The guided 5-day curriculum introduces one technique per day, building your foundation step by step. TRAINING GOALS After the 5-DAY-VAGUS LAUNCH, set your own training goal: 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days. The app adapts your weekly practice themes based on your check-in data — calming practices when you're running hot, activating practices when you're running flat.
