Grief is a strange thing.

You think you’ve moved past it, learned to live with it, and then something happens that brings it all back.

When I lost my sister in a car accident 10 years ago, it felt like a piece of me had died too.

But life went on, as it does, and I thought I’d made my peace.

I carried on, even convincing myself that I’d “dealt with it.”

But when my mother’s health started to decline, the grief I’d buried so deeply came flooding back.

Each day, as I watched her fade, it was like I was reliving my sister’s death all over again.

And with that grief came resentment, something I was ashamed to admit.

I found myself angry—not just at the situation but at my sister for “leaving me” to care for our mother alone.

The guilt and pain felt endless, like I was drowning.

I needed help with unresolved trauma and this program claimed it could help by soothing the nervous system through something called the vagus nerve.

I didn’t know much about the nervous system or what the vagus nerve did, but I knew I needed help.

I was tired of carrying this burden of grief and resentment, tired of feeling like I was in an emotional prison.

From the first session, this program felt different.

It wasn’t about “pushing through” or “thinking positive” as I’d heard so many times before.

It was about gently helping my body release the pain it had been holding onto for years.

As I continued with the program, I began to understand that my grief and resentment weren’t just feelings—they were physical responses my body had held onto, deeply embedded in my nervous system.

Neurotoned explained that grief and trauma can create lasting imprints on the body, especially on the vagus nerve, which plays a central role in processing emotions.

The vagus nerve is like a direct line connecting the brain and body, responding to feelings of sadness, anger, and loss by affecting the heart, lungs, and even our digestion.

Trauma, when unprocessed, can lead to the body “holding on” to pain, creating a state of chronic tension that keeps us trapped in cycles of sadness and anger.

Neurotoned taught me that grief isn’t something you simply “move on” from; it’s an experience stored within the body.

This program helped me work through my grief, not by ignoring it, but by soothing the vagus nerve and creating a safe space for release.

The guided breathing and body movements weren’t just simple exercises—they were tools to help my body communicate safety back to my brain, allowing me to finally begin releasing the pain and resentment I’d been carrying.

As I practiced these techniques, I could feel subtle changes within myself.

Each breath, and each guided movement helped release the grip of those old, painful memories.

Neurotoned showed me how to “exercise” my vagus nerve, gradually loosening the physical and emotional hold that grief and anger had taken over my body.

I discovered that I wasn’t simply reacting to my emotions; my body was finally letting them go.

The deeper I went into the program, the more I realized how much guilt and shame I had carried alongside my grief.

Neurotoned taught me self-compassion, helping me understand that it was okay to feel what I felt, to acknowledge my pain without letting it define me.

By practicing vagus nerve exercises, I was gently reprogramming my nervous system, retraining my body to respond to memories with peace rather than pain.

This approach wasn’t about “getting over” my sister’s loss; it was about honoring her memory in a way that allowed me to heal.

Neurotoned didn’t just address my grief—it taught me tools for lasting self-compassion.

I learned that the vagus nerve, when strengthened, can help us experience emotions without being consumed by them.

These exercises guided me to create space for my feelings, allowing grief to exist without overwhelming me.

With time, the weight of guilt, anger, and sorrow began to lift, and I felt a gentle lightness I hadn’t known in years.

I felt stronger, more resilient, and I was finally able to spend time with my mother without that haunting shadow of pain and frustration.

Instead of being consumed by sadness, I could truly cherish my moments with her.

Neurotoned didn’t just help me “move on”; it allowed me to fully embrace each day without carrying the burden of unresolved grief.

As I healed, my relationships improved too.

Neurotoned showed me how to connect with others from a place of peace rather than pain.

I reconnected with family, shared laughter, and felt the joy of simply being present with them.

I wasn’t just overcoming grief—I was reclaiming my life, relationships, and sense of purpose.

If you’re carrying the weight of loss or feeling trapped by unresolved grief, know that healing is possible.
