Learn how to regulate your nervous system with the Top-Down vs Bottom-Up approach!
Ben Ahrens, co-founder of re-origin, dives deep into the 'Top-Down' and 'Bottom-Up' approaches.
The Top-Down approach refers to using your mind and brain to create regulation in the system, whereas the Bottom-Up approach uses your body and senses to create regulation and normality in the system.
Top-down Approach: Use your rational mind to understand discomfort does not equal danger! Acknowledge and let feelings of agitation flow through and out of us.
Bottom-up Approach: Use slow, deliberate breathing to bring your body into relaxation and to feel more grounded. Slow movement can also help to release the feeling of being stuck.
If you're stuck in that tired and wired sympathetic state, approaches like top-down and bottom-up can help you get back into a parasympathetic state (rest & digest). You can even try to combine both for more efficient regulation!

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I can attest to the effectiveness of these techniques. The mid brain and reptilian brain work quicker than the frontal lobes and can often become hyper reacters that push us into the stress response. Neurons that fire together wire together,....but breathing, movement and mindfull awareness can counteract the unconscious stress responses. The frontal lobes can modulate and rewire the sympathetic nevous system responses and kick in the para sympathetic system. If you find yourself too easily stressed you must also consider nutritional deficiencies as well. B vitamin deficiency, especially thiamine or B1 deficiency can cause pseudo hypoxia in the neurons that stimulate the fight or flight response. It can also cause arythmias, gastro intestinal issues, anxiety and a host of other things including chronic fatigue and panic attacks. A high carb diet will sap both thiamine and magnesium from the body. Magnesium is the calming mineral. Even a subclinical deficiency in b vits or thiamine can cause problems in you brain and body.

Ben is great, really enjoy his videos. I love the idea of saying "discomfort does not equal danger", I will say this to myself.

I liked the separation and explanation of top down and bottom up. I am stuck in a world of dizziness and lightheadedness and this was interesting

@lanise, have you been tested for BPPV/ear crystals? They cause dizziness and lightheadedness. There are maneuvers you can do, such as the Epley. Lots of info here on KZfaq. I hope you get better! ❤️‍🩹

@aw4724 8 күн бұрын

The dizziness and lightheadedness are being caused by microwave radiation from cellular devices. Turn off router and cell phone at night AND make CERTAIN you have removed your smart meter from your home. Watch Take Back Your Power on KZfaq. It was made in 2017, won a bunch of awards, talks about the dangers of this issue. If you live in an apartment building you may be exposed to your neighbors' meters also so you may have to ask them to call the Public Utilities Commission and file a complaint which will force the energy company to come out and remove communicating meters and replace with analog, non - communicating meters. This will save your life. There are class action lawsuits about this worldwide right now. I've been an activist for this cause for the last 2 years. These devices will keep the brain from either producing melatonin or going into REM, which can lead to dizziness and lightheadedness ALSO. Not to mention far worse damage. Proven fact. It's really best if you limit cell phone exposure as much as IS possible in the day so it doesn't t mess with your nervous system and cycles. Use landlines whenever possible, keep phone on airplane mode whenever possible, hardwire your computer at home and throw out that evil wifi router, etc. This will help tremendously.

Hello dear friends, It helps to know something! Do you have any breathing exercises for weather sensitivity/weather dependence? Also for intercostal neuralgia? When the weather changes, I literally die! Thank you very much. God bless you. 🤗

@ginah8023 3 ай бұрын

I have trigeminal neuralgia. It’s also called the suicide disease. Extreme shocks and stabs of pain to the face along with intense burning. These shocks can be every minute for days or months. I cannot work anymore , brush my teeth or eat. If I made any movement I get a sharp stab.would your method work for me ?

@PeaceIsYeshua 2 ай бұрын

@@Ginah, I’m so sorry you are dealing with that! From what I have been learning about brain retraining, what you are describing sounds exactly like something that can be controlled with the brain and therefore positively affected with brain retraining. I hope you give it a go and that it helps you quickly! ❤❤

That is very helpful. Could you comment on the dysfunction of the vagus nerve in relation to the military neck?

@re_origin 25 күн бұрын

Chronic neck pain can definitely contribute to vagus nerve dysfunction as those with pain may often limit movement or range of motion in the neck, thus limiting activation of the vagus nerve.

Thanks so much for the video Ben! I've got one question that I've been looking to ask for quite a while: Is fight or flight basically the same as aggression?

@PeaceIsYeshua 2 ай бұрын

@Zach, I don’t think so. I haven’t heard too many chronically ill people say they felt aggressive. The nervous system is subconscious, so we’re really not aware of it. You can be calm& at peace, but you’re NS can be stuck in fight or flight. :)

@re_origin 25 күн бұрын

Thanks for the question! Fight or flight is not the same as aggression, although aggression can be a component of the "fight" response, which involves confronting the threat aggressively. This can manifest as physical aggression, verbal confrontation, or other assertive behaviors aimed at overcoming the threat.

I use breath work, exercise, affirmations, meditations, and body scans on a daily basis. I have crippling insomnia. Not sure this simplistic plan of things I’m already doing is going to change anything.

@re_origin 25 күн бұрын

Thanks for your comment. Those activities can help to calm the nervous system, but they do not address the cause of insomnia. You may benefit from our brain retraining program which focuses on addressing the underlying cause of insomnia: a dysfunctional limbic system. We also have a blog post on insomnia here: www.re-origin.com/conditions/insomnia Hope this helps!

The good and the bad...the good: Ben is an excellent communicator, the bad: the jerky video is a distraction not only from his teaching, and jarring for those of us with brain impairment. It is literally bombardment with so many image changes. The good: I like the idea of having influence over my primitive brain by using breathing, movement, and grounding techniques. Thanks. The fact that re-origin makes this information available to everyone is another good thing.
