This is how you get the trapped survival energy out of the system, this is how your body learns to metabolize the stress, move around the life energy, slowly dislodge it and reintegrate it back to the mindbody. Also how you reconnect to the body! But this is also how you bring up past trauma/old survival energy so it can get very tricky and better do with a practitioner!! You dont have to breathe or change your breathing pattern you breathe how you breathe for a reason & many folks will dysregulate further when trying to change breathing cause they get further into freeze/fight-flight. You can actually do too much somatic tracking & it can cause insomnia - increased sensitivities/mental disturbances until you process most of the old stress. No need to close your eyes either cause or some it can bring up disturbing images just a heads up! A couple of tips: 1)You have to do this from a place of awareness, a part of you that has sovereignty and knows that its not the sensations,its not what comes up and can witness and hold space for all of that. Its a process that takes time, you are not the sensations, you are not the worried thoughts, there has to be first this separation of the identity from the survival roles. Otherwise if the system has too much locked up energy and you approach this when you are inside a limbic loop you can dysregulate further. There is a part of you that not afraid, not traumatized and that can see and hold space. Your attention has to slowly stop identifying with the mind processes/thoughts/survival roles and drop towards the body. It can take time. 2)Do this with a sense of curiosity, acceptance. Do not force things to come up and do not open doors that are not opened yet. 3)Having the knowledge that anything that comes up during tracking is safe. Its in the past. Its not real. Its like PC data exiting the system. Do not get caught up in the stories that comes up, do not identify with the energy or emotional leftovers resurfacing. 4)The body can do a lot of crazy things during this like twitching, shaking, trembling, crying, burping, having images come up, temperature changes etc. Start slow. All these are safe. I had to tell myself that i cannot actually hurt my own body haha. 5)Always rest afterward, ALWAYS. The system needs time to settle and recalibrate, you just processed stored stress, take a break!! Your system will be more sensitive as this energy comes out. Its like a soul workout. 6)After tracking move/put your attention to something neutral/calm/positive. You were in the 'negative sensation' so now you move towards something positive. Swing back and forth. If you dont know how to calm yourself , first aim for this. I know there was nothing calm in me during this procedure, i had to release a lot of trapped energy to actually get some calmness.
Your body will not release if it senses danger whether it is physical/environmental/emotional triggers or stuck mental thoughts that perceive danger (negative thoughts about life/past) so you might need some mind work as well to shift/redirect perception and thoughts. Also will not release if too stimulated from triggers/electronics etc. Or if you are too identified with old survival roles/protective parts of your personality. Its a very tricky process & everything comes out in waves which you gotta ride.
Also any advice on how to separate from the actual sensations and be in the observer position? Cause feeling those sensations is incrediblly overwhelming and I often get lost in the, which leads to further disregulation. Would be very grateful for any advice 🙌🏽🙏🏽
@@TDK.92 No but i got a bunch of programs both on retraining & somatic experiencing, read lots of books & ton of mindbody vids on yt which wasnt doing much lmao. But somehow i got through to my true self and tapped into the sequence that my body holds to release things in its own natural way. There is a rhythm to this and an order that each body/soul will release stuff. Releasing with exercises like orienting or others that guide you in the classical somatic experiencing way can be too aggravating for a very sensitized system i had at the time. So my body was like speaking to me saying like 'nah lets not do this grounding exercise' and it took days till it wanted to try somatics again. But if you fail long enough you start seeing when you are triggered and what is being triggered is not your true self & little by little the theory & everything started to click like a puzzle and got back to my true self. And then knowing that underneath there are unfinished stress cycles & motor movements that the body wanted to do when was perceiving danger. I got my mind outta the way and allowed the body to release without resistance & allowed the sensations to move and complete their cycle. Very tricky & long process Its simple but not easy. Hope it makes some sense! Somatic tracking is a good tool that helps you understand how to do this but can be scary at first. Also worked with my mind by redirecting/not believing/not going into negative thoughts/emotional loops etc. A blend of both approaches .
Somatic tracking is a wonderful tool and you did a beautiful job explaining it. However, one point of language that can be important is, when you are brain re-wiring you don't want the goal to be avoidance of the thing causing it. Understanding and acceptance of where you currently are but not for the purpose of eliminating those things, people or situations from your life. This is a fear response and drives the underlying reasons the person is experiencing them to begin with. A curiosity about the symptoms is good and making connections is also just fine as long as your response to those connections isn't the need to get away from them but instead to rewire them through incremental training. Sometimes there are relationships that need addressing and patterns that aren't helpful in our lives but ultimately teaching your brain and body that you can handle any situation is a good mindset. Something might not be in your current training zone but knowing that it will be one day. Anytime we go into avoidance it drives the fear response. It might help for a time but will dig in those symptom neural networks further in the long run.
Somatic tracking sounds just like mindfulness meditation. It is simple being aware of what comes up when your aren't actively doing something, or thinking about anything in particular. You did a great job explaining it!
After several years I got my diagnosis by doctor And grateful to find your channel I will try to start a trip to recover from chronic fatigue Thanks you for the hope and making me not feel alone !
Aw, wish I saw your a Curable affiliate link before I signed up for it. I would have loved to have been able to support you with my payment. Thank you for what you do for us Raelan. (BTW your doggie is so adorable!)
I learned somatic tracking years ago and it didn't get rid of the pain, the stiffness, the tachycardia or anything physical.. It did however help get rid of 99% of anxiety I was having when I first became chronically ill.
I’ve loved your videos since your early days and the clarity and approachability with which you communicate!As cute as he is, for me, the videos lately with Blue have been distracting and made it difficult to focus on the content. I share your channel as a resource a lot, especially with medical practitioners, and, for some, it may impact the credibility of the channel. It was great when Blue sat in the background though! Thank you for continuing to provide such inspiration!
I agree. Although I love the human aspect of the dog interaction, it breaks the thought process and can leave me trying to remember what was said previously.
I have constant crippling anxiety that resulted from a med adverse reaction. It’s been one year and a half, 4 months off all meds. I have started using somatic tracking and I think it’s helping. Hope it helps my brain rebalance faster.
The brain heals from the medications - but you can do many things to help yourself and somatic tracking is a wonderful one! There are also some wonderful videos and articles to help you with anxiety, but rewiring the brain is key. I had a ton of withdrawal symptoms from being prescribed benzos for years - which disabled me until I tapered off. I healed 80% from 5 "incurable" diseases that were in fact caused or worsened by the medications. I went from crawling - my blood pressure was sometimes so dangerously low - to dancing. You'll heal too, and learning somatic tracking, meditation like Chi Gong, and other ways to calm your central nervous system and move out of Fight or Flight to Rest and Digest is invaluable. Best of luck!
Loving your content. Really informative and down to earth. Ps don’t worry if you make a mistake just steam over it, we see the content for what it is, which is GOOD.
Yes, I've heard about it. But I find it heard to know how to put it into practice. Xx ❤️ ❤️ hopefully, you can do more of videos 📹 for us on these topic, please. ❤😊
Dear Raelan, some say that you should feel the symptoms, let them built up and just respond well. you are saying we should avoid the things which trigger the symptoms. its so tricky how to go about it… 😢 thank you for your advise and your channel! 🌸🌸🌸
In my experience it's a balance. 15 months ago, removing all triggers I could was the only way I could start to get my body and nervous system to even begin to calm down a tiny bit. Over time, doing these exercises plus many other CNS relaxing techniques, I can now deal with some triggers more easily.
Very good video but it might be better to keep the little dog (Hi!) only for a few minutes at the beginning, as it shifts my attention from the content of the video to the dog way too much! :)
@@DarkoFitCoach Yeah I know the feeling. It did mess me up bad. I was perfect now I'm not but I think I can heal. I'll never be the same. We have to move on.
I understand what ur saying about the apps but why should I pay anything to use these apps when other apps and RUclips is for free?! They sound like a bunch of money grubbers to me ! But I do agree with ur point!
Have you heard about the fascia therapy is also look very interested because they work with physical and emotional together because the way the treat the physical body they work because when the bod6 is out of balance the energy doesn’t fluid as it should and thank for sharing
your dog is feeling UNSAFE right now, best put him down....also you cant hold a dog under his chest..it ignites a cough reflex because they cant breathe..hold legs under chest
Omg pls put the dog down. I love all your videos so far but I can’t continue to even watch this one, its so distracting… I love seeing animals but its obviously not calm and comfortable lol we are literally talking about calming the nervous system…. 😂
Wow this is not going to do a damm thing for my gd exhaustion that come on me so strong that if you had a gun at my head and was goona shot me if i did not get up and go i would be dead i probably would done even be able to wake up to kisten to threat i sleep in a flare up 14hr to 24hrs and still tired.

Biggest thing that's helped me is learning how to breath into my symptoms.

I love the authenticity of this video. No editing out of the humanness.

And grateful to find your channel
I will try to start a trip to recover from chronic fatigue
Thanks you for the hope and making me not feel alone !
I insist on Blue being in your future videos!
Wow. I actually felt the fizzy fatigue and the palpitations dissipate. Amazing. Thanks. Will keep it up.

do u still have pain now??
@@sekischro5093 yes, I get migraines and I have osteoarthritis which is painful.
My suggestion is just make the whole channel about the dog😂 that dog is just so cute and it's actually quite calming to look at a beautiful dog❤❤

Thank you so much Raelan. Especially your last words made me tear up :)
Thank you Raelan for explaining key principles for helping with recovery!
My pleasure!
I think blue doesn't like being held. But thanks for the best video I've seen. Never heard of somatic tracking. Amazing
Blue is gorgeous!! More please.
Yes. PRT/Somatic tracking for CFS/ME!!! Good to see you doing this.
Love your channel - you’re the rock star
Thank you so much for all you do for us!!! But please focus and avoid distractions as sign of respect for your viewers and / or suscriptores 💕

I feel bad for the dog who definitely doesnt want to be held in your arms. Let him/her go. If the dog can roam in the room, dog might be more relaxed.
Thank you so much for your Curable affiliate link! ❤❤❤

Nooooo
Yea, me too.. a distraction for sure. I’m terribly allergic, face swelling allergic… so that’s just me
I was just going to leave a comment that the dog is cute😂
Yes, I am distracted by the thought 'the poor dog does not want to be held there'.
Merci beaucoup , from France
Sick two years v injured so hard. Love your work.
vaxx messed u up?
@@DarkoFitCoach You have a way with words.
@@tammygravis1462 i do and especially when i am lied to by government and so called scientists. So i take it you took the " safe and effective" ey
@@DarkoFitCoach Yeah I know the feeling. It did mess me up bad. I was perfect now I'm not but I think I can heal. I'll never be the same. We have to move on.

Thank you realan how many minutes we can do this exercise per day? Thanks 🙏🏾
Thank you very much. ❤
I see a lot similarities between this and vipassana meditation.
Yes! Observing and tolerance
Thank you ♥
I understand what ur saying about the apps but why should I pay anything to use these apps when other apps and RUclips is for free?! They sound like a bunch of money grubbers to me ! But I do agree with ur point!

FYI link to Gupta interview at the end is missing.

How will heavy legs go away?
Can't find d your curable link
You can find it in the description box below the video!

I’ll come back when you put down the dog.
Just made me pain worse. Why. ?
great content but i struggled to watch it with the constant zoomin in and out...please avoid if you can. It's very disturbing
Thanks for letting me know!
Squirmy dog= distracting for me
The inability to breathe due to chronic anxeity is hard to watch - need a better method than that for breathing.
you dont have to change your breathing!! i posted some tips in my comment under this vid might be helpful
I found that movement mindfulness with Breathworks really helped me when I had breathing that felt like it was suffocating me.
Omg pls put the dog down.
I love all your videos so far but I can’t continue to even watch this one, its so distracting… I love seeing animals but its obviously not calm and comfortable lol we are literally talking about calming the nervous system…. 😂
Puppy is very distracting. Cute but distracting.
