Another great physical resource is using a weighted blanket. Make sure to look up the correct weight for your size. And for the best grounding resource I've ever found, watch the earthing/grounding video here: ruclips.net/video/-eYJwMWXfYM/видео.html
I’m going to order a weighted blanket today. It’s so interesting because I watched a documentary on grounding/earthing recently. I’ve been doing it for about three days a week. When I started my energy level was very low. Not just physically but my field of course. From the first time I could feel a boast. I will never forget how cool that was for me. I resonate with your channel and I’m super grateful to have found it. You have no idea how much it is guiding me toward relief. Thank you so much! 💕x
@@miacaruso7631 I'm so glad to hear this! You might want to check out my earthing video :)

I have this thing that I do naturally... I cover my eyes and rub my brows with my fingers. Haha
Awesome, your body knows what you need! 😊🙏🏼
These were all great!! I've started making my lists. I've also located 2 ventral vagal locations in my community that I could feel in my body. I'm very proud of the 2. 😊
That is awesome!
The hand placements were my fave! You’re a 💎!!
🙂🙏🏼❤
This a beautiful sharing! Thanks so much. I’m coming out of an intense freeze. I’ve never experienced one in my life. Your videos are helping me in a meaningful way. I’m grateful beyond words. 💕x
I'm feeling more sleepy after doing most of these as I watched you! Is that good or bad?
Haha, that's good! These exercises are calming and lower activation/stress. They brought you into parasympathetic state. You can do them only when you need to relax. For other people who are more activated, they may need to do these hourly to stay calm.
@Nina.Goradia awesome, I suspected that was true! I've been in major fight or flight on and off for the past couple of months so I think I will do more of these! Thanks for your response. 😊
I constantly feel the need to figure out my emotions and try to fully understand them idk how to stop , like I need everything to be fluent and all my thoughts and feelings to make sense. And I always feel like I need a consistent tatic on how to feel or how to heal . How can I stop doing this
I would watch the self love playlist, intellectual bypass video and the how to heal trauma and PTSD with somatic experiencing video so your mind feels like it understands this enough to let go and feel 🙏🏼
Same!
@@jayb4444 yeah its tough but ive gotten better just gotta let go
Good to know.
I know that these methods work (not only from my own experience over the years) and I highly recommend them. But what to do when the mind already knows that it works (e.g. it breaks the vicious circle of stress) and there is a block to do anything at all, even change the position of the hands or take 3 breaths. What should you do in such a situation, how can you help? or when the only temporarily soothing activity is putting food into your mouth, without any connection with hunger, of course?
I understand 🙏🏼 First, accept the resistance and be curious about it. It may melt with love and allowing to then reach the next later down 🙏🏼
@@Nina.Goradia Thank for your answer, I appreciate it do much, I sure you have a lot experience 💞. My indulging brings me something similar - that love & patience is the answer.. and don't push on the score " I wanna do sth with this, must, must, must! Fast, fast, fast" you know that kind of nudging from mind.. Couriosity will be helpful, I am sure, it's like a puzzle 🧩 with patience, acceptance. 🙏💓
@@malunachow Yes, I've had a lot of experience with it too 😂 What helped me was disidentification with everything that's not me. If you see my trauma chart videos, 2 of the 5 hacks on the left are disidentification and I'll be coming out with more videos on this topic 😊🙏🏼
Thanks Nina…I took notes and will go through each one….😊🙏😊 KCMary
I loved the ending of the video. It's something I never thought that much about
🙏🏼
My favorite physical resourcing: lying on my bed
My favorite mental resourcing: not thinking from the ego
My favorite emotional resourcing: not sure what this means
@@meringue3288 These are 2 of my favorites too! Emotional resources would be like feeling the love in your heart for someone you love or the excitement you have for a hobby or idea 🙂
@@meringue3288 Oh, the feelings we get from listening to music also 🎧
@@Nina.Goradia Ah makes sense. I feel like those can very easily become coping behaviors if we have attachment for them. But this is probably more of a problem specifically for me due to my conditioning, which might be why I didn't understand why they counted as resourcing at first lol
How does resourcing and feeling safe relate to healing trauma if healing trauma is about just feeling the hard emotions. Is there balance and how
Does that work. Sorry I’ve been commenting a lot.
We can't feel the hard emotions if there isn't enough capacity to tolerate them. Resourcing and feeling safe increase this capacity. You can go back and forth between feeling and resourcing as needed.
Awesome thank you very much this makes sense.
Hi Nina!
I have a question regarding jaw tension. Whenever I go deeply into my body I instantly notice a significant tension in my jaw. No real emotion connected to it, just huge jaw tension. What could this mean/ how do I respond? Thanks!
It might be somatic ego protecting you from feeling primary feelings. Check out the videos Somatic vs Psychological ego, Releasing Jaw tension through biting as well as How to come out of the freeze response 🙏🏼🌞
How do you know if any of this worked? I have low affect so it's really hard to tell when I feel soothed honestly I don't think I ever can tell when I feel soothed.
Yes I understand Ayesha and sorry to hear this. In your case, I would try to do these daily, once every hour in fact and then see if you feel better over time. Feeling resourced would feel like the mind and body can relax a bit more than usual, feel calmer, like there's more room to hold an emotion and tolerate it, like you don't have to be as on guard or hypervigilant and that maybe you even participate in something you enjoy. Keep orienting to what feels good as a habit and this should make a difference over time. I really hope it works for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@Nina.Goradia oh wow ok the frequency hit me I wasn't expecting to hear "do this every hour". That makes sense why I don't feel resourced cuz I need a lot of it. Thanks Nina.
Tactile stimuli is the only "grounding/orienting" resource that works for me. The senses in my head does not make me feel connected to the environment, only touch does. Seeing, hearing etc. doesn't feel real in a way, but if I can touch something I can be sure it's real- real as in a dissociation type way, not a psychotic way😅 I feel like I'm the only one who can ONLY orient physically. I wonder why I'm like this?
Thank you for showing these, they worked instantly! ❤
Not sure why, but glad something works! Many of us go towards certain senses over others. Keep doing what works 🙏🏼🌞
Actually every exercise makes me.anxious because i dont Unterstand what im doing 😢, any Suggestion?
Oh, sorry to hear this. In this case, it's not really recommended or safe to do them on your own. I would find an SEP you can work with in person who can guide your specific nervous system. I can also help if you want to work online.
@@Nina.Goradia yes, id like to work with you, your approach Is sweet and gentle, how can we? Id like to know more, tunx
