    That was an interesting experience. I'm currently nauseous from solar plexus pain. I figured I might as well try this. While shaking, I felt something in my solar plexus. Definitely tension but.. almost like something moving that was uncomfortable. Once the moving and taps were over, I do feel slightly better. I'll continue doing this. I deal with severe anxiety and I think my solar plexus has been reacting negativity to it these last 6 months. I've never had this issue prior.
    Much appreciated! Best of luck everyone!

    • @BodyNBrain
      @BodyNBrain  2 года назад +3

      Anthony, I'm wishing you lots of benefit from the practice. If you keep practicing, I think you'll notice more awareness of when anxiety is causing your body to tense up. It may take daily work to relax again but eventually it should get easier to go through the steps and release the built-up tension.
      Don't overdo it, there may be times when you need to take a break, but in general if you keep moving you should notice a more comfortable feeling and less anxiety, or at least more confidence to deal with it when it arises.

    This legit helped me tonight even after just doing it twice. Hurt a fair bit but I've had a dull ache in my lower solar plexus/upper abdomen for awhile now comes on most days and it's a separate type of pain to my gallstone pain i sometimes get. Had no idea what it wad and feared it was something bad, but this helped alot even after one go. Gonna do this a few times every day until it doesn't come back often then maintain once a day, such a good move! Thank you 👍👍👍🙏

    omg I am so relieved to discover other people suffer from that tight, achy feeling "like a lead brick" as ciaran perry said. I am feeling a little better this first try, I'll do it every day and see if my main problem doesn't get easier: chronic constipation. Will this exercise help with that?

    • @BodyNBrain
      @BodyNBrain  3 года назад +2

      Right! A lot of people hold their stress on the stomach/ abdominal area.
      Keep doing it everyday.
      I'd also recommend checking out the videos about "intestine exercise".
      Basically gentle squeezing for the abdominal muscles.
      That practice can help you keep things moving more naturally...

    • @genericnamethingy
      @genericnamethingy 3 года назад

      @ciaran perry Yes, if my esophagus gets irritated past a certain point burping becomes very very difficult and I start swallowing air unconsciously, and I can't burp it out. I was having a crisis and it wasn't fully healed. Now it's healed but sometimes I'm just swollen and I can't get myself to release that big gas bubble in my stomach, even though I can do it for small ones.
      Now I've trained myself to really push my tongue against the roof of my mouth to swallow and I find that doing ab exercises with weights, especially where they're serving as stabilizers like one sided movements helps. Sometimes doing 60+ crunches helps. My bowel also moves really slow and sometimes the lower stomach valve gets irritated too, I have IBS and high anxiety, but I switched from feeling it in my chest to feeling it in my digestion. I try to compensate with exercise, controlled breathing, a hot shower, sometimes one thing works, sometimes the other, I never know. It's a real pain when I'm trying to sleep or just be comfortable.

    • @genericnamethingy
      @genericnamethingy 3 года назад

      @ciaran perry Does something work for you? It's so uncomfortable. There's a Reddit called /noburp which is very depressing to look at. I think my cause may have been dopamine related, there was a time when I was taking a lot of ritalin and even amphetamine sulphate for focus(ptsd, engineering degree) and it started around that time. Yesterday for example there was barely any motility in my bowels. Don't know of it happens to you but bowel movements sometimes trigger that burp you need. I massaged throughly four times, did yoga positions, did 100 crunches, 30 reverse crunches, a bunch of one sided curls and still almost no relief. I take clebopride if I really need it but I don't want tardive dyskinesia 😐

    • @genericnamethingy

      @genericnamethingy 3 года назад

      @ciaran perry Domperidone does nothing for me except cause palpitations. Either metoclopramide or clebopride. Supposedly also tightens the esophageal sphincter.
      Isn't there something you can take? I remember there being pancreatin pills. Have you tried all the obvious options like me? Exercise like a long walk, abs, deep breathing, drinking hot liquids frequently, ginger, all that stuff. Walks I felt were very productive and also getting up every 30m from my chair and stretching my back.

    will relaxing this area along with other areas allow emotions/trauma to be processed? I suffer from issues with dissociation, namely depersonalization/derealization. I'm starting to believe that fixing this issue starts in the body and not in the mind/thoughts. Would like to know your thoughts on this.

    • @BodyNBrain
      @BodyNBrain  3 года назад +4

      Very interesting question. I would tend to agree that relaxing this area can help with processing emotions and painful memories. There is a very good book called _The Body Keeps The Score_ by Beesel Van Der Kolk which relates to this question. Check out some of our other videos for more techniques to relax and connect to the body, they explain more of how that may help with mental and emotional work as well. Or, if you're interested in meeting an instructor, you can always check out bodynbrain.com for info and an introductory meeting.

      A slightly warm feeling in the chest can be normal, yes. You are noticing the very tense feeling on the right side, that is good. Breathing and relaxation are the important goals. It will take time to release tension, but you may gradually notice a less tense feeling. Don't overdo it, and practice whenever you remember to do it.

      Interesting. Was this the first time you tried it? If you normally feel tension there, it could be related to your body beginning to relax/ release tension. Best to do a little at a time and see how it progresses. If bloating persists, check with your doctor. But it sounds like tension release.

    What you recommend for someone that has acid reflux/eoe?

    • @BodyNBrain
      @BodyNBrain  4 года назад +3

      Good question Daniel! In general, issues like that seem to be worsened by stress. Depending on how you feel, you can try some intestine exercises (abdominal movement exercise) to help relax your body. Also, walking or gentle jogging with mindful breathing can help relieve stress. Basically, you want to help your system get into the 'rest & digest" mode as deeply and naturally as possible. After some movement or gentle exercise, try comfortably breathing with your hands resting on the stomach area, being mindful of the feeling, for 3-5 minutes. Gradually, you may notice your stomach area relaxing.
