I came here with intense pain in my diaphragm that I haven't been able to shake all morning. It stayed strong almost like a smoldering brick for over half the practice. By the body scan portion, tears began filling my eyes, followed by a huge release of the pain. Not saying crying is necessary but don't be surprised if emotions spontaneously bust out of u! So glad people are developing this.

I came here with immense anxiety that I didnt know what to do with.. did this exercise and felt so inspired I picked up the paintbrush again after months of not creating.

Been in extreme self-isolation for a few years and for the past 6 months I've lost my ability to speak more than a few words at a time. My ability to process words, orally or written, has also diminished to the point where I forget what I've heard or read by the time I reach the end of a sentence. My working memory is non-existent so there's a lack of continuity to everything that's happening. No matter how hard I try, I can't hold onto anything in order to restore that continuity. I have a history of mental illness so my doctors dismiss it as a symptom of anxiety and I just want to scream and cry at how they can let a person suffer. Most of the time I'm completely numb and have no recognizable symptoms of anxiety/depression and no thoughts/memory of all of the things that contributed to my anxiety/depression (or much else in my past). Basically I'm living in a void where the past is gone and I'm unable to create new memories. Hoping all this is just severe dissociation/anxiety and that regular practice of somatic exercises like this will pull me out of this. Thanks to anyone who read this. Sorry if it doesn't make sense. I just really really needed to put this into the world.

Lovely! I got chills a couple of times.

I've always felt like my back is heavy. I did this and all my shaking and rocking was from my back to my chest. The stiffness in my shoulders that no misuse can shake was gone too. Amazing.

I didn't think I could stay in one position for 15 minutes but I totally zoned in and this went by really fast. I feel spiritually lighter. Thank you.

I couldn’t stop yawning, it was so relaxing, thank you!

Thank you! This felt pretty good!

feel so much better thank you :)

❤ my first time doing this and it was really nice! thank you so much

That was so nice and comforting 😊

Thank you needed this.

Oh. I like that! Thank you for this and everyone's time investment into it! ❤ ✨️

Thank you! This was Nice

Really enjoying your videos and helping me as part of CPTSD recovery. I just read the Somatic section on your website and the first person perspective reminds me of Douglas Hardings work. He discussed the first person perspective from the minds perspective and lead to the phenomenon called The Headless Way whereby the person through practice observes that everything seen is at point zero which is to say in consciousness in the mind and that things aren’t viewed across space. If you turn attention on itself and looking back from the external you wouldn’t see yourself. You would see the world. This can create the feeling of having no head. It’s quite a freeing feeling if one can master it

Are these exercises suitable for morning or evening? Thank you

Thank you ..I was in tears while doing it...I really needed it..

Lovely thank you!

I love watching these c*vid era videos. They’re so relate when seeing folks “at home”. Oh and final found authentic somatic exercises😊thanks!

Are these "Somatic Practices" videos in a Play list? I'd love the link please? Followed the link on the end of this video and got an error🙏

Thank you so much for this video

Felt a sense of calm, euphoria after this 10 minute practice.

Lovely… Thankyou 🧿

The tears didn’t come until after for me. I feel lighter than when I started.

love ❤️

Had a burst of laughter suddenly.

I got stuck on my thoughts. When you said we should skip between them, i got stuck because i got nothing on my mind while doing this. Is that okay?

How do I get these to show in order on the site? Very frustrating that it’s hard to find.

How often do you recommend we do this for anxiety / mental health?

Thanks 🙏🏻

not saying it doesnt work, but why is this any different to meditation and self reiki?

When doing the series, how many practices should we do daily?

Thank you for the good exercise but It is impossible to think toughts because you are continously speaking give some moments to think 💭

I appreciate the effort to make these videos, but the struggle for me is that you made 16 of them, and each of them is 15 minutes long, and on the website it states to go through each one in order ideally. Is that just one a day? Because I don't have 4 hours a day to devote to this, so it feels somewhat impractical to go through them.

😌

How can I be healed of PTSD flashbacks? Rage and grief consume me. I LIVE IN almost CONSTANT TERROR AND PANIC! I suffer from endless suicidal depression and horrific PTSD flashbacks. My soul is raped. All 44 years of my life, so far, have just been suffering. I can no longer bear the suffering. My rage is red-hot-white. My grief is as big as 999-trillion oceans. PRAYER: Lord, I pray for healing: physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically, and spiritually, In JESUS' name: break every chain, stronghold, yoke, every generational curse, and all witchcraft, and spell work. Holy Spirit, anoint me: from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Release me, completely, from every darkness looming around me, in Jesus' name. Shine your light, your healing, your saving grace, and power over me. And FILL me with YOUR AGAPE LOVE and grace. I speak peace over my heart and mind and soul and body, in JESUS' name. So be it. So it is. Praise be to God. Hallelujah! AND, ACTUALLY... I am not in hell, I am in heaven! Always will be! But it's been like having an earplug in my ear... Having the enemy calling me constantly from “hell”, the enemy wants to confuse me... The devil is a liar, making me forget that heaven is inside me!

This made me feel nauseated after 8-10 minutes into the viedeo. Is that normal?

This is terrible
