Regulating the Nervous System Starts Here

Understand how the vagus nerve works and how to train your body to recover from stress instead of staying stuck in it.

The Vagus Nerve and Nervous-System Regulation

The vagus nerve is the main communication pathway between the brain and the body. It helps control how we respond to stress, how we regulate emotions, and how we return to a state of calm after something challenging happens. 

When this system is under-supported, the body can remain stuck in survival mode. That often shows up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, and ongoing physical tension. When the vagus nerve is supported and strengthened, the nervous system recovers more efficiently. Emotions settle faster. The body returns to balance more easily. 

 A dysregulated nervous system may look like: 

  •  Emotional overreaction or emotional numbness 
  •  Difficulty calming down or refocusing 
  •  Persistent physical tension or stress 
  •  Low resilience to everyday challenges 
Keystone is built around one core principle: nervous-system regulation can be learned. 

Through breathwork, mindfulness, tapping, and somatic movement, Keystone teaches people how to work directly with the vagus nerve to calm stress responses, restore stability, and build long-term resilience. 

This isn’t about willpower. It's about giving the nervous system the tools it needs to reset.
