Has anybody tried vagus nerve stimulation? I tried it but didn't get anywhere much.

  Some kinds of meditation stimulate it. I've tried those. Where did you hope to get?

    Not GP, but there is https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201907/vagus-nerve-stimulation-via-the-outer-ear-takes-center-stage https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201... Not sure if this is a good idea though.

  There is this technique: https://therapyinanutshell.com/vagus-nerve-exercise/ https://therapyinanutshell.com/vagus-nerve-exercise/ that seems to stimulate the vagus nerve.

  Place your hands on the back of your head, with the fingers interlocked, and the thumbs pointing down gently pressing/rubbing on your neck. Slowly move your eyes to any fixed direction (say, to the right) and keep your eyes open, staring to the right. This will initiate a yawn or deep sigh in most people, stimulating vagus nerve.

    Interesting, another poster called it sorcery but I tried it three times and nothing happened.
