I like the clear, easy way you took me though somatic tracking. I found my chest diminished slightly! Your manner helped me to trust you and wonder if you could be my therapist? I’m a retired pastor so I also appreciated your words about giving my fear to God.

This is same as highly successful dare approach to be free from anxiety. You allow it so you can be free from the fear of it. This is how I became free from anxiety

“Give that emotion to God for him to hold”. Love that.

This will definitely work! It is not about getting rid of pain, it is about getting rid of the fear of it so you can be free from it.

Somatic tracking has been so great. Most times I end up feeling such peace! It’s so cool to see how God has created our bodies to be so intricately woven and connected!

I’ve watched a lot of videos on this and you explain it best and make the process easy to understand. I can tell you are a very loving person and care about others. Many blessings.

Update: 5 mos. I have been doing this & 85% of the time, your guidance helps alleviate my horrid migraine pain. They come on every weekend & this has made my quality of life be so much more enjoyable. My brain responds to this method of changing my emotional and mental approach to the pain has changed my quality of life… thank you thank you thank you! Such a blessing!

I have had a 3/4 day migraine. I’ve had these for 11 years. I followed your instructions while in intense right sided pain, as usual. The emotions started with crying and fear and panic, then guilt & shame. I placed the most intense emotion, panic, being afraid, to the side with my source/GOD while I let your words guide me through my breathing. As I gently stayed alert and consciously breathing , I got an intense sharp pain at the top of my right foot below my big toe. It lasted 45-60 seconds as you guided me to notice where my pain was now, if it shifted or remained the same and if it did shift or change , “that is a good thing.” I instantly felt a relieve sensation and the panic subsided. Odd! Different. I continued following your instructions. As I type this, the pain on my foot is gone & the intense shooting pain that has been inside my head for days is present barely. As I type this, it returned vaguely, curing me to understand, any attention placed on it, it returns, as I’ve programmed my busy these past 12 years. Thank you for sharing

I like your approach; "set that emotion aside" or "“Give that emotion to God for him to hold.” Also your explanation of how the brain perceives sensations ---or other things in our environment---- to be dangerous. The light came on with that one!

I love this! Thank you. I have been dealing with a bad stomachache and this exercise helped me to be more accepting and compassionate towards my pain and have a greater sense of peace.

Felt blissful feeling my body 🙏💖

Thank you for this introduction exercise to somatic tracking. Your voice and method were so calming … exactly what I needed this morning.

Loved this version of somatic tracking. I started it for chronic pain and have just added it for emotions: both good & bad.

Wow.. you're an elemental 🏵️

Thank you for this beautiful experience!💕

That was one of the best somatic tracking exercises I’ve heard. Thanks

Just discovered this channel. I'm adding Somatic tracking and it's helping. Need to watch this more times (2X already) for it to sink in to help remove/accept trocanteric bursitis & related hip issues. Thank you for a great channel and topic.

This approach is so similar to the DARE (diffuse, allow, run to , engage) approach of being free from anxiety. I have that book and I believe it will work the same for (GI pain , visceral hypersensitivity)

Wow! I have had a new (3-4 weeks) intense tension in my mid thoracic spine that was concerning to me. I did stretching and relaxation techniques without improvement. A chiropractic adjustment helped immensely for a day or so but when it returned, it "captured" me in the "Oh no, a new issue" way. On doing this process this morning (twice actually, but I'd discuss this first), the pain moved lower and to the left of my upper lumbar (lumbar is where my chronic issues have been). After finishing this, I used a wall mount pressure point device to release the muscle bundle spasm I found in that spot in my lumbar that the pain moved to. On returned to this video, the tension/pain in the thoracic region is 80% relieved and now feels curious instead of stressing. I went ahead and finished this video and noticed my "normal" lumbar tension that I hadn't felt since the thoracic started until yesterday. It was even painful and radiating down the left leg at work yesterday. I noticed how it felt and gave the "frustrated resignation and irritation" to God and started doing a stretching sequence that I have NEVER seen or done before. That tension/pain is now about 75% released. Best of all, I feel HOPE that I cna now observe, accept, interact with and release my responses instead of fearing, being irritated by and resigning to them! I intend to make this part of my weekly exercise routine (weights, walking, dancing and somatic). Thank you so very much! PS - Do you have a way to apply somatic work to food sensitivities (no anaphylactic type reactions, but significant GI, skin, inflammatory and autonomic reactions that last minutes to weeks depending on which of the 5 foods - I've added tons back but seem stuck with these).

Wow! That was extremely calming and my tension eased. I loved the imagery of giving Jesus my emotion to hole. It would be helpful, to me, if the pacing was a little slower.

I kept having to visualize looking into Jesus’ eyes (giving Him the pain) and not focusing on the pain. The pain intensifies when I focus on it then it freaks me out and gets more uncomfortable.

The Lord bless you

Thanks for making these videos, keep doing them, I’m watching

Good explanation of the fear we’re talking about

thanku

That was great! Thank you so much for walking us through the emotions and directing us to give them to God. I actually did feel the pain sensation decrease slightly but it's amazing how much I immediately go into panic and fear when all the bizarre symptoms come on and I feel helpless to stop them and then exhausted trying to rewire my brain with no real results. Everyday I feel like I'm trying to swim with anchors on my feet fighting for breathe. The challenge is going to be to relax when they come and accept them. I'm assuming that takes a lot of inner strength and I'm feeling worn out. No taste, no smell, no tears, little saliva, reacting to all foods and supplements, dizzy, difficulty walking, taking a shower and drying my hair or even making a meal. I truly can't wait to be on the other side of this mess!

Thank you I will definitely try this

My pain is in my kidneys mostly but it is also through my entire body. I am on a special diet to keep me out of most of the pain I feel. It is absolutely excruciating without my diet. I can literally do nothing. I get chills, whole body pain but definitely worse in kidneys and joints. I get cold. I did this exercise for my kidneys. They did feel a little better.

please pray for me and thank you for this video

Thank you so much!!! I needed this!

Hi Jen, the pain in my back moved after 1 session. Thank you

Thank you 😊

It works for me thank god

thanks so much for making this! I very very nearly fell asleep after being in pain all day. you have a very calming nature. subscribed for sure! :) gosh that has to be one of the first times where I felt like I could hear myself think, if that makes any sense!

Why can't we teach our brains to deal with sensations, emotions, feelings. These things aren't ever going away.

Thank you for this video! You mentioned that you might do a somatic tracking video for anxiety. I'm just wondering if there is one (it would be super helpful)? Thank you 🩷 🙂

I can’t even concentrate to do this right now. I’m in 10/10 severe pelvic pain. Moves between both hips and groin. HELP 😂😢😅

Can it be neuroplasticity if it hurts to touch? For me, ive had pain over 1.5 years on the side of my wrist, but also on the knuckles on top. Feels like a burning/nerve sensation to drag my finger there for exempel. I did injure it at the start but I just did an MRI and it showed nothing. Maybe its healed but its now neuroplasticity idk

What are the 4 self talk affirmations prior to beginning a prt session?

I’ve been doing some somatic and body awareness exercises, tracking/discharging stuck energy since January 1, 2023 every day, my sleep has improved a lot, and I already feel way less immobile, however one thing that strikes me most is muscular tension on the face particularly in the afternoon while sitting at the computer, It’s hard and annoying, I always try to accept it and simply let it remain there, but it takes my energy away, it like I need to spend the entire day time just with my tense face rather than focus on my goals and moving forward, any train of thought or advice to interrupt the cycle?

Can you please explain how the pain changing locations is a good sign? When I try this, my pain goes all over the place! I've heard you mention before that its s good thing but im curious as to why

Can this help burning mouth syndrome

Somatic tracking Let symptoms be there Focus on another pleasant sensation instead ? Does this work

This made my pain disappear

I just started doing somatic tracking a few days, and i feel so drained , with chills and sweating despite feeling calm , is this a normal body’s response to changes ?

4:15

Thank you, Jen. What does it mean when the pain stays in the same location ?

Thank you for this exercise with guidance, this is very helpful! I wonder, is it bad or has any importance if during the exercise it is hard for me to identify or put into words my sensations, I just identify them as unpleasant, but sometimes they don't seem to have any specific place in my head or I have difficulty to identify it, as well as the character of the pain, it is hard for me to name it, it brings additional discomfort. Sometimes it also hides when I look at it closer and appears when I spot "looking". Also, is it ok to make the exercise after taking a pain killer or it should not be affected by any medication?

Do you think this works for heart palpitations

What about dizziness??

Have you ever dealt with any forms of disassociation or obsessive thinking?

How often do you do this?

I would find this exercise more helpful if you would give the instructions first and then give a bit more quiet space during the actual exercise. I found it difficult to concentrate on the actual exercise because of the constant talking.

Tried it a couple times after reading Alan Gordon's book THE WAY OUT. Hasn't worked for me (chronic pelvic pain) so far. Welcoming or embracing a fairly sickening sensation that is ruining your sleep and your waking life is well-nigh impossible. Sounds like a nasty joke. The experience of every pain, especially when it's severe or persistent, has an emotional component -- anger, bitterness, frustration, hopelessness, helplessness -- even if you have managed to convince yourself that there is nothing structurally wrong with your body and therefore nothing to FEAR. How can you feign 'curiosity' about a symptom that you know like the back of your hand, having lived with it for over a year? And lastly, how does all this square with Sarno's fundamental/key advice of distraction and indifference? I, for one, am not convinced.

I just started watching your channel and you just lost me as a follower…. Your mention of needing hod snd the gospels, etc. oh good grief…bye!

This works
