- This session is about presence in the moment through whole body listening (tuning into and tending to the sensations of the body). This is a part of the calming sessions. Though you can pick any session at any time, we recommend you go in order to address and connect your body as an integrated whole.

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 cried like a child! I don’t know what it was! And now I feel lighter.
I cried too.
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.
I hope this has continued ❤
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.
I can relate totally. It’s almost as if I wrote your words. I don’t feel alone - and I hope that for you, too.
I hope you feel better. You deserve healing and peace. Sending it your way!
I’ve been going through something similar too. Waiting to see the light at the end of this tunnel. I know it’s there and we’re going to find it. Sending you love and healing.
Kind of relate as someone who has selective mutism and developed avoidant personality disorder and self-isolated. My brain does not function well
I think u have written a very coherent message, you have not expressed yourself in so long that may be why your faculties are rusty along with the superadded damage from anxiety and depression. Now I am not a medical expert but I went through a similar phase, and what helped me were people who were nice to me, treated me well and boosted my self esteem. You can take therapy to feel that as I did, second was feeling the void I have and not avoiding it with distractions like mobile phone or food, sitting with it being irritated with it and then having a compulsive need to express myself. In the beginning it will be very difficult but u will have to come face to face with all the shame, guilt and self hatred that made you depressed and anxious in first place and take action to fight it. If u hate your body start lifting, if u can't do that because u have a disability accept it and know there is still actions u can take, which will take time because most of the time we are in a trap of instant gratification, don't be, just know your action is in right direction and be patient. Secondly watch self help channels like Dr k and therapy in a nutshell and talk to your healthcare provider about new ideas u get from the video and start doing them. Just sit with your discomfort put action to improve your life and be patient. I recommend a good therapist and regular Journaling to release trapped emotions. You have written your thoughts clearly in the comment, so i feel writing will help you even when depressed to know what you are feeling so do journal
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.
Lovely! I got chills a couple of times.
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.
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 for posting these- it's lovely that the resource is available free. I struggled with the sound - subtitles would have helped immensely.
I couldn’t stop yawning, it was so relaxing, thank you!
Thank you! This felt pretty good!
Thank you ..I was in tears while doing it...I really needed it..
Same
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
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!
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 😊
Oh. I like that! Thank you for this and everyone's time investment into it! ❤ ✨️
Thank you needed this.
Thank you! This was Nice
Lovely thank you!
Are these exercises suitable for morning or evening? Thank you
How do I get these to show in order on the site? Very frustrating that it’s hard to find.
Felt a sense of calm, euphoria after this 10 minute practice.
Thank you so much for this video
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?
Had a burst of laughter suddenly.
Lovely…
Thankyou 🧿
How often do you recommend we do this for anxiety / mental health?
The tears didn’t come until after for me. I feel lighter than when I started.
When doing the series, how many practices should we do daily?
as many as it takes
not saying it doesnt work, but why is this any different to meditation and self reiki?
love ❤️
Tienen versión en español
It's a variation incorporating QiGong
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.
well she says pick one session at a time and it is advisable to pick sessions in order , so day1 -body scan , day2 - conscious breathing and so on ..so you just need to put 15 minutes everyday
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for the good exercise but It is impossible to think toughts because you are continously speaking give some moments to think 💭
😌
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!
I have the same problem)
This made me feel nauseated after 8-10 minutes into the viedeo. Is that normal?
Me tooo 😅
Blockages traumas that are locked subconsciously..
A lot of times we need to clear emotional staff. UNFORGIVENESS causes nausea...abusive behaviour.
Many times we want to feel well but to our own benefit but we seek NOT changes within...
yes it is possible, as the trauma is stuck in the physiology and it may get released in form of yawn , burp , fart , shaking or vomit . If you nausea leads to vomiting(you can drink some water to help you with throwing up) that's a good sign it probably is very old trauma stuck in your body that is getting released.
This made me gage repeatedly It was so strange Never experienced anything like this
This is terrible
What do you find terrible about it?
For me personally just standing and listening to someone talk gives me anxiety and is upsetting. Obviously it's just not for me.
listen to the ladies routine that's all she is trying to pass on. listen to her do the moves even practice the routine whilst sitting concentrate learning the cycle pattern of movements takes a bit of practice.......then, when youve mastered to an extent you can turn off the nice lady and all the distractions electrical devices etc and zone out.
