Tara, your videos are a godsend. Thank you for introducing Jim to us, the mind-body movement has already helped me enormously.

[@MsDF936]

Did you have any physical feelings of trauma arise after the shaking exercise? I’ve done it many times but once I felt physical sensations after and I’m curious if I’m alone.

[@sylviamartin3445]

being with other in this way, a true gift...I totally agree, so glad I have her as a teacher, amazing......hugs

Peter Levin is a pioneer in trauma and somatic experiencing. Levin covered the animal world shaking off trauma years ago........ I highly recommend his books

Osho was dead-on regarding this, and created "Active Meditations"; there are many which he created. There are RUclips videos explaining the process. He said that in the West, we had so much repressed, (trauma/shadow...(while he never used those words)) which needed to be released. Hope this is helpful to those resonating with the mindful release part. I personally used Vipassana, hit early trauma, and sat anyway because I thought I could/should sit through it. It has created difficulties for me. I didn't know better so this is a great talk. Thank you for this.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

right on. Osho was God in human form. And surely, all of us, and everything is. Just more evident in some beings

[@carolinecorcoran955]

Brilliant interview, lots of positivity and achievement amidst very sad curcumstances, best of luck to you with your ongoing work. Interesting to note the date of this recording when the trauma of a global pandemic was about to affect us all 😢

Thank Tara, I’ve never heard Jim speak and appreciate the experience.
I’ve been practicing RAIN daily for my own healing, it’s been wonderful during this period.
In a few weeks I’ll be working with folks who the dancing will be perfect. I’ll also look deeper into this work.
Blessings...

Thank you so very much for this video!!!!!

I have a reverse example - I have abused by my daughter - I hear a lot about children being traumatized - but not much about a parent. It's awful - because there is also a ton of guilt that I - as a mother - have created a nightmare for the child and myself.

[@davecash7669]

Thanks for talking about it. It hurts to hear but I’m happy that you have a place to express it. Love - a fellow caring and loving parent

[@junruner]

[@roseisreading]

23:10 exactly my problem... for years now. RAIN is overwhelming frequently.... It retraumatizes. My physical bodily sensations of clothes touching me, or my own body parts touching other body parts are my biggest triggers.
This are definitely ancient ways of healing

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

:O Same!

[@MsDF936]

Question for anyone who has tried his shaking method...did you have any physical feelings of trauma arise after?

[@PlantPoweredRadio]

wonderful! it’s extremely helpful to refuse to consume the energy of trauma in the form of tortured and traumatized and murdered animal meat and secretions. #govegan #mindfuleatimg

[@MindVersusMisery]

Amen to that! When you ingest fear, you become fearful.
