MAVA: Mindfulness-Assisted Vagal Activation​​

 

MAVA is a neuroscience-based method developed by Ian Matthews to accelerate conscious leadership by directly engaging the body’s vagal regulation system - the biological switch that safely restores calm, clarity, and connection to the moment.

 

Where traditional mindfulness takes time to develop self-awareness, MAVA creates a state shift that instantly unlocks instant physiological access to presence - through paced breathing, rhythmic muscle tension, and mindful attention.

The MAVA Mechanism

 

We use Mindfulness to train your mind.

Vagal activation shifts your body.
 

Together they create coherence - the biological basis of flowstate: where stress fades, the body feels safe, and you connect to present moment reality - where calm lives.​
