Praise for Chakras and The Vagus Nerve
“Loved this book….so much information on trauma. As a yoga student and teacher/partner, I had some rudimentary Chakra knowledge, but Ms. Llewelyn gave me the deep dive in a way that was both scientific and spiritual. The vagus nerve is just something I recently started learning about. I have suffered with PTSD for years, and this is one of the most informative and encouraging books I’ve read on the subject of healing. Would recommend to anyone truly seeking healing!“

“What a fantastic book! In previous chakra books, I learned that chakras are just another term for nerve centers in your body, and those nerve centers impact your physical and spiritual health in certain ways. THIS book dives even deeper into the nervous system and how it stores experiences and trauma and how our chakras are affected accordingly. I learned so much about myself through this book. She goes over each chakra, how it’s connected to the Vagus nerve (which is how our brain sends and receives signals in our body), details ways these chakras are impacted and how our body reacts physically to that, gives us an example with a story of one of her clients, and then gives us some exercises to help bring awareness and healing. I cried in trying some of these exercises and learning about myself and my responses. This book makes me want to try therapy so that I can be better. It’s definitely a must-read for body to spirit connection. I am adding it to my resource library so I can refer back to the exercises and suggested reading list. Five out of five stars! I saw that she has another book coming out soon! I’ll have to read that too!”

“I love the writing, research, and examples given to make key points! This book blends the magical and the practical in such a dynamic way. I have utilized many of C.J. Llewelyn’s exercises for myself and my clients.”
“This book is brilliant. The author, who is a trauma therapist, blends these two concepts in a way that hasn’t been done before. As a surgeon, I can say she has a strong handle on the vagus nerve and its importance to healing. As I become curious about eastern spiritual practices how she sees the chakras in alignment with the vagus nerve is mind blowing. Well written and accessible. Looking forward to reading more from her.”
“I listened to this book on Audible. The narrator’s voice was very soothing. The book itself was informative. The author did a lot of research on this topic. I enjoyed the guided meditations. I listened to this book in combination with some ambient music. It was a great pairing. I think I will purchase the book. It’s already on my wish list.”
“Book is well written, easy to follow and I loved the exercises which I will use with my clients.”
“This is a go to book with lots of hands on tools to implement in your day to day. Love this book book.”
