In Stanley's own words:

THE STANLEY ROSENBERG METHOD

BODY-BASED VAGUS NERVE TRAINING, DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE

Stanley Rosenberg wrote the beginning a roadmap of regulation, that took the world by storm by his book The Healing Power of the Vagus nerve. Thor Philipsen completed it. After twenty years of personal master apprenticeship a formula has been formed. Thor Philipsen is the only person Rosenberg formally designated to carry this method forward.

Three integrated pillars:

Manual therapy. Rosenberg's and Human Systems universe of unique original hands-on techniques. The art of getting skilled hands to communicate safety directly into the specific ganglia where stress has lodged itself.

Neural exercises. Physical, mental and social practices that re-train the nervous system to regulate itself and build long-term resiliency.

Evolutionary rooted practices. The science and knowledge on how to recalibrate the nervous system back to the ancestral conditions it was built for.

These are the true Keys to Regulation.

Together, they form the most advanced vagus nerve regulation programme available.

As the old Chinese saying goes, The success of a teacher is achieved when the student surpasses his master.“

Because of his knowledge and his masterful teaching skills, it is an honor to announce that I am choosing Thor Philipsen as the teacher of my work, the Stanley Rosenberg Method, which I developed over fifty years of a professional approach to body therapy.

Thor has studied personally with me for twenty years and achieved a complete mastery of this work, all my methods, and even co-developed my newest teaching material”

What is Health and
Nervous System Regulation?

“One of the basic questions in life is: are you happy? We all have to face difficulties, but how quickly can we move from unhappy to happy? Effective regulation is essential for your body, your thoughts, and your emotions” Stanley Rosenberg

Regulation is more than regurgitating a vague almost ridiculous concept of play, splashing cold water in the face, deep breathing, or humming Hakuna Matata.

There are much deeper layers. This is the most advanced Vagus regulation system on the planet. Learn the art of bypassing personal narratives and communicating safety directly to the nervous system.
