El sistema nervioso perif\u00e9rico de nuestro cuerpo es uno de los elementos m\u00e1s poderosos en nuestra pr\u00e1ctica de Tai Chi. Mientras nos movemos ejecutando la tabla, \u00bfqu\u00e9 relaci\u00f3n hay con nuestros nervios? Analicemos esto con especial \u00e9nfasis en el nervio vago y el sistema nervioso parasimp\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestro cuerpo est\u00e1 formado por dos sistemas nerviosos principales fuera del cerebro: el simp\u00e1tico y el parasimp\u00e1tico. Juntos forman el sistema nervioso aut\u00f3nomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Peripheral<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

El sistema nervioso simp\u00e1tico (SNS) controla nuestra respuesta de \u00ablucha o huida\u00bb o de estr\u00e9s. Como se muestra en la imagen (rojo), el SNS aumenta la frecuencia cardiaca y la presi\u00f3n arterial, hace m\u00e1s superficial la respiraci\u00f3n, ralentiza la digesti\u00f3n y libera cortisol y adrenalina. Otros efectos secundarios son la ralentizaci\u00f3n de nuestros sistemas inmunol\u00f3gico y de reparaci\u00f3n. El sistema SNS est\u00e1 pensado para proporcionar una respuesta temporal <\/em> a una amenaza percibida. Una activaci\u00f3n prolongada crea un importante desequilibrio en nuestro organismo que puede provocar enfermedades autoinmunes, problemas card\u00edacos e incluso c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestro sistema nervioso parasimp\u00e1tico (SNP) suele denominarse sistema de \u00abdescanso y digesti\u00f3n\u00bb. Su activaci\u00f3n tiene el efecto contrario al del SNS: disminuye el ritmo card\u00edaco y la presi\u00f3n arterial, ralentiza la frecuencia respiratoria, mejora la digesti\u00f3n, equilibra nuestro estado de \u00e1nimo, crea excitaci\u00f3n sexual y restaura las funciones inmunitarias y de reparaci\u00f3n de nuestro organismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El nervio vago constituye aproximadamente tres cuartas partes del SNP y por ello se gana el t\u00edtulo de \u00abguardi\u00e1n\u00bb de nuestro estado interno. Es el d\u00e9cimo<\/sup> de los 12 nervios craneales, comienza en el tronco encef\u00e1lico y se adentra en el cuerpo. En concreto, inerva la lengua, la laringe, la tr\u00e1quea, el cuello, las v\u00edas respiratorias, los pulmones, el coraz\u00f3n, el h\u00edgado, la ves\u00edcula biliar, el est\u00f3mago, el p\u00e1ncreas, los intestinos y los ri\u00f1ones (ver la imagen en azul).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 relaci\u00f3n tiene esto con nuestro Tai Chi?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay varias maneras de estimular el nervio vago, y muchas de ellas suceden de forma natural en nuestra pr\u00e1ctica de Tai Chi. El Mindfulness <\/em> o atenci\u00f3n plena es la primera, ya que la conexi\u00f3n cuerpo-mente es clave para la activaci\u00f3n del nervio vago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La conexi\u00f3n inherente con el diafragma<\/em> durante los movimientos que estiran la columna y expanden el t\u00f3rax, como el Dan-Yu y Mover las manos como nubes, desempe\u00f1a un papel importante, ya que el nervio vago se comunica con el diafragma. Estos movimientos estimulan el nervio vago creando como respuesta una relajaci\u00f3n prolongada que todos podemos sentir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestra intenci\u00f3n repetida de dejar caer los hombros y los codos contribuye a\u00fan m\u00e1s a la estimulaci\u00f3n del nervio vago procedente de las estructuras del cuello. Otros estudios interesantes han demostrado que cantar con la garganta, los c\u00e1nticos e incluso la risa activan el nervio vago que recorre nuestras cuerdas vocales. La estimulaci\u00f3n del nervio vago ha sido muy estudiada y utilizada terap\u00e9uticamente en la depresi\u00f3n, los trastornos de ansiedad e incluso en el Alzheimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los beneficios diversos para la salud de nuestra pr\u00e1ctica de Tai Chi son m\u00e1s profundos de lo que parecen. As\u00ed que, \u00a1conectemos, mov\u00e1monos, dej\u00e9monos caer, relaj\u00e9monos, cantemos y sonriamos un poco cada d\u00eda!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
