Background About ME! And How I Got Into All This "Vagus" Stuff
Hi !!! I'm Sterling, and I know more than a few things about the Vagus Nerve, and especially how to stimulate it - both with breathing, drugs, nutrition, neck exercises, electricity, and Ultrasound. Back in 2018 I started a Facebook group, and by 2019 it had ballooned into 5000 members! A totally free to join group, and I posted in there every. single. day. But why? Because I was incredibly passionate about talking about and learning and sharing knowledge related to the Vagus Nerve. It all started in 2017, when I was learning about HRV (Heart Rate Variability) - and doing Wim Hof breathing, and as usual, developing Ultrasound technology (my former startup is called Berkeley Ultrasound, Inc. we are a venture capital funded group, look me up!) So I thought, "What if I placed the Ultrasound on my Vagus Nerve, while doing Wim Hof Breathing, and was tracking my HRV with my chest worn sensor... could I make my HRV go up higher than usual ?" Naturally, I thought it wouldn't be hard to test, so I placed my nearby Ultrasound handheld device (A US-1000 3rd Edition Ultrasound) on the highest setting (Red) on the left side of my neck, and started the typical Wim Hof 30 breaths thing. By the third round of breathing, I started to feel buzzy and tingly all over my entire body, this was different than usual... hmm, but I did the last inhale, hold, and SQUEEZE!!! And poof! I was no longer looking at the ceiling of my office (I was just laying on the carpet with a pillow looking up) but I saw *All White Around Me*... Then before I could even acknowledge what this white room was exactly - WHOOSH! Again I was no longer looking at a white room, but a crystal clear picture of New York Central Park, broad day, summertime, people walking around, I could hear the taxis in the distance, I could hear multiple simultaneous conversations happening around me... this just lasted for multiple minutes, it was very normal to be looking out of someone else eyes in New York Central Park for some reason.
