Aging and many diseased states have been shown to be associated with depressed vagal activity. The extent of vagal depression correlates with the severity and poor prognosis of the disease. It will be desirable if there is the Physiological vagal enhancing method. Right lateral decubitus position or so-called Lion King recumbency is the suggested recumbent position in Buddhism.
