The Vagus Nerve Art Project Performance Art video recordings has been published on YouTube, Patreon and Vimeo from 2018 until 2023 under the categories of Art & Entertainment. The YouTube channel do not exist anymore, as I have deleted all the videos and the channel in the year of 2021
The project was with two titles.
The title Leo Light Tarot has been used just for the YouTube Channel.
The official title is The Vagus Nerve art project.
The title ‘Leo Light Tarot’ had to be used for the wider public on YouTube, as not everyone is scientifically educated to know and understand what the vagus nerve is. Special Thanks to the jazz singer and astrologer Maya Nova, who came up with this name inspired from the zodiacal sign that I am born under, helping me finding the right terminology for catching the public’s eye with the title.
The project started in English as I am London based artist, but very soon after, the videos have been recorded in Bulgarian language as well (my native language). In 2021 all the recordings happened in Bulgarian language as the Bulgarian audience expressed great interest in my work. From 2021 until 2023 in reverse, all recordings have been returned to English.
The performances I’ve titled Scheherazade’s Story-Tales, without the digit 1001 as in the famous tales from the Arabian World. To use a digit would put limits to my creativity.
For this art project I had to learn the meaning of the tarot cards and how to read them, as I am using them in my performances. I didn’t enrol in any study course, but researched the subject online and red few books that accompanied the tarot decks I’ve purchased for the start of the project. At the beginning, until I remember the meaning of the cards, I have had to put on the side of the recording camera a torn notebook page with the written meanings of the cards, from where I was able to read it during the performance.
The vagus nerve is the longest and the most complex of the 12 cranial nerves, extending from the head to the abdomen, it carries an extensive range of signals from the digestive system and the organs of the brain and vice versa. Vagus means “wandering” in Latin. The vagus nerve detects the energies between the people. They are not visible, but everyone is able to feel and sense the energies of the other. The Vibe!
I really like the explanation of the vagus nerve by Edith Zimmerman in her article at The CUT New York, Science of Us from 9 of May 2019, titled “I Now Suspect the Vagus Nerve Is the Key to Well-being”:
“I liked this idea that we have something like a secret piano key, under our skin, to press internally to calm us down. Or like a musical string to pluck. At this point I was envisioning the vagus nerve as a single inner cord, stretching from the head to the stomach. In reality, the vagus nerve is a squiggly, shaggy, branching nerve connecting most of the major organs between the brain and colon, like a system of roots or cables. It is the longest nerve in the body, and technically it comes as a pair of two vagus nerves, one for the right side of the body and one for the left. It’s called “vagus” because it wanders, like a vagrant, among the organs. The vagus nerve has been described as “largely responsible for the mind-body connection”, for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, and I’m tempted to think of it as something like a physical manifestation of the soul. Also: “When people say, ‘trust your gut’, as one Psychology Today writer put it several years ago, “they really meant ‘trust your vagus nerve’.”
The Vagus Nerve Art project includes not just performance art videos. There are also monotype original layered gel prints, created in the summer of 2016, when this art project actually started and the ideas build up in the following years. For the creation of my original prints I’ve used my unique technique, the monotype layered gel prints with ink drawings. Some of the Vagus Nerve images together with my portrait photo taken by the photographer Mona K Art in the year of 2018 has been used for the YouTube video’s intros.
These Vagus Nerve monotype layered gel prints have not been exhibited anywhere yet.
Disclaimer* Please bear in mind that that I am an Artist and all of my videos are recordings of artistic performances. Everybody has a free will and control over their life and their decisions. I do not predict the future. Everybody is free to make their own choices in life and The Vagus Nerve Art Project (Leo Light Tarot) content, including private and public videos are not designed to influence public’s choices in life. I am not a psychologist/counsellor, healthcare professional/practitioner or doctor, nor am I responsible for any choices or decisions the viewer takes as a result of my art performances. Also, I am not an astrologer, nor a numerologist, or a tarot card specialist, or whatever comes to mind different from an Artist.
I am a person with a great imagination, who is curious about astrology, numerology, myths and the mystic tarot cards, and I use all of these in my artistic performances in combination with phrases from poetry and song lyrics from different musical groups and singers.
On my headphones sometimes I play the radio while recording, sometimes certain singers that I like, or sometimes some singers that I don't like, but I use it to make my artistic performances more interesting.
The audience doesn't hear the music and the lyrics that I hear in my headphones. While recording my artistic performance, I only use specific phrases or words from the song playing in my headphones, intertwining the lyrics with the story I am telling at the particular moment.
I do not guarantee the accuracy of astrological or numerological phenomena, or relative tarot card readings. The artistic performance is for entertainment and enjoyment only.
How you, the audience, translate and assimilate in your own mind my Art Performances - Scheherazade’s Story-Tales, depends entirely on your own projection, which is the result produced according to your own life.
The following text has been included in the description under every single one of my videos:
All tarot readings are for entertainment purposes only. Valeriya N-Georg/The Vagus Nerve Art Project or Leo Light Tarot Art Project should not be used to replace the advice of doctors, lawyers or other professionals. Everyone is responsible for their own life choices and decisions, or any action taken after communication with the artist, public or private, verbal or written, or by watching any videos.
The most common feedback for the duration of 3 years I was working on this project with the wider public on YouTube is that people play my videos in the evening before going to sleep and they have been sharing with me in the comments, that my voice is relaxing them and they sleep well. This makes me happy and I feel satisfied from the hard work I’ve put on here.
I have announced the end of the project in July 2021 with a video in Bulgarian language, but the real end has been postponed and the project has been extended for two more years with publications just in Vimeo and Patreon, where the public must pay to watch my videos.
Although I had to increase the price multiple times, the audience continued purchasing. Their interest and willingness to pay for watching my videos motivated me to continue with the recordings. Although I am very grateful for the support I have received during the years, I had to increase the price to almost impossible for the audience to afford it, as I really needed my time to concentrate on the other projects that I am working on, and The Vagus Nerve project really had to be completed. At the end, the decision almost everything to be unpublished had to be taken. There are some videos left in my Patreon for the audience that is curious to take a look.

Special Thanks to:
Djocko (Djochkoun Sami) for the creation of the Leo Light Tarot LOGO
Maya Nova for the intro music (Feels Like Making Love)
Mona K Art for the professional photography
Aleks Georgiev for creating the video intros and the technical support during the years
Thanks to everyone who took part in this project by interacting with comments under my videos! Without the participation of the public this art project wouldn’t be so successful as it is!
I am very happy that I’ve managed to engage over 14300 subscribers (in the pick they were nearly 15000) on YouTube to participate actively for 3 years period of time, and even more happy, as the audience came to Vimeo and Patreon to support me financially! Thanks to all!
Thank you very much for your support, attention and interest in my art!
