Episode 12: Vagus Nerve Alchemy - Nervous-System Regulation as a Gateway to Intuition

Intuition doesn’t disappear when life gets loud - it gets harder to hear when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. In this episode of Intuition on Tap, we explore Vagus Nerve Alchemy and why nervous-system regulation is the gateway to intuitive clarity. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, somatic intelligence, and embodied intuition, this conversation reframes intuition not as a mystical gift, but as a state of the body.

You’ll learn:

• Why intuition is state-dependent, not talent-based

• How the vagus nerve influences perception, clarity, and self-trust

• The critical difference between intuition and instinct

• Why urgency, anxiety, and overthinking often masquerade as “intuition”

• How calm becomes your intuitive superpower

This episode is for intuitive, empathic, and highly sensitive people who feel deeply, sense a lot - and want to trust their inner knowing without confusion or overwhelm.

🎧 Companion Audio: A standalone vagus nerve regulation practice is available as a companion to this episode, designed to help you embody what we explore here and support intuitive clarity through nervous-system safety. If this conversation resonates and you feel a grounded yes, there are ways to work with me more deeply through one-to-one sessions, group programs, and guided experiences. 

Regulation first. Intuition follows. This is the way.
