Doing yoga with you every morning, for the past two years, has been a corner stone of maintaining my sobriety and finding balance in my physical, mental and spiritual health. As well as handling my ADHD and being spectrum, which I have only really ever treated with self medication. Thank you, Cole!
Qi Gong is really good for the shaking and tapping! If anyone liked that part, there's so many free 10 minute Qi Gong videos on youtube. African dance is also great for shaking out trapped energy. Just some fun ideas.
Thank you for this. This made me cry the second you started talking about trauma. It was clear I needed a release of emotional baggage and I found the tapping most helpful!
You are a super power Cole. Thank you for being brave enough to turn your own challenges into a way of helping others and making the world better. This really helped xxx
I am...here. As Ive cycled in and out of substance misuse, when I finally come back to myself, I was ask myself, where did I go? Why did I leave? Lately I've been saying as I look in the mirror at this new version of me, Here I am. My partner and I weren't in a good place and when we finally dropped our barriers and unsustainable habits he said to me, here we are. It was such a release and beautiful feeling to know we were both there and present and neither one of us were trying to escape anything. I don't want to escape or numb myself anymore, i want to feel everything and let that be okay. I just recently stumbled across your channel and was preparing myself to quit smoking weed habitually and finding this sobriety series was such a blessing. Thank you
Ahhh thanks for sharing that. Yes yes. I am here. The always reminder. Sending ease on your journey & hope the series is supportive. Check out www.emergerecovery.com - under the resources tab has some great podcasts / books / online meetings I found really helpful….
Such a powerful practice. Love the kalabhati breathing, and the exercise with bringing elbows in towards the ribs with a quick exhale. Alot of re-patterning as you call it. I think this topic of unhooking is great for anyone looking to change their life. What are we attached to? And if we let go of that, what else is there? Yoga does give us some amazing tools that can "latch" onto safely and sustainably, the breath (that anchor), exhales (letting go), movement (release), mental focus (what do I really want or need? and why?) and connection to the spirit (deeper meaning, purpose, light, etc.). It's such a rich practice, and I'm glad that you have been sharing these amazing practices with others, so valuable. Wishing you lots of joy, prosperity, and light for sharing your wisdom. Namaste.
I recognize yellow as a state I am in often. It is when I shift from a very creative place (my green) and start questioning myself and how I will be received. Everything I do becomes stress filled and shaky. When I can no longer tolerate being in the yellow, I go into red. I want to numb it and escape it. This is when I binge drink, which of course sends me down a very dark spiral. Yellow is my triggering state. It is where I feel small, like I don't belong, awkward. The techniques you provided felt so good and I will continue to "play" with them so they can become ingrained and used regularly. So much gratitude, Cole.
Love tapping I do it all the time for my anxiety, because if you just use your fingers no one knows. Also the mecca at rehab we always ended with this. Can't wait to start Emerge. Your sister in sobriety, Carey Ann
I always love the nervous system techniques! Especially the tapping and shaking- I often do this in the mornings, feels so good! I also liked the descriptions of green, yellow, red, regarding how we're feeling. Excellent class, I will definitely come back to it. Wonderful way to end with metta. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing all your teachings. I’ve been doing breathwork nearly every day to heal my vagus nerve and trauma since my daughter passed away. Yoga is helping me release so much tension in my body. 🧘♀️ Abundant blessings to you all
Thank you I am a week sober into quitting marijuana and this journey has been very difficult. Doing yoga with you has been very rewarding because I haven’t felt this ease in my body in a long time. I am hoping to get my appetite back and eat and eliminate all the stress
I love the Thema nerveous system regulation, I would like to learn more of this, maybe like a nerveous system calm down befor bed or when you wake up. Thank u so much ❤
🥰 glad you’re enjoying it! It’s really helpful. They would really be very similar techniques- you can just do them when ever you’d like! I will film some more as well;)
Hey Cole, thank you! xx I loved the metta practice for helping me see I can move myself out of fear and worry & shift into states of happiness, joy and peace. I loved how the metta then turned to ourselves, showing me how much more unloving I am to myself and how by doing this practice I can begin to cultivate a relationship and feelings of love for myself. Thanks again
Thank you thank you thank you so much for this - extremely helpful & I can't wait to look more into polyvagal theory... I definitely have a lot to learn about that!
This video shed so much light on my traumas, my addictions and ways I hide in the red completely disassociated. I would LOVE if you would do more on this with more exercises as well as talking about it. Thank you! And thank you for all of you work! 🫶💜
Hi Cole, Thank you so much for this class. It really helps with my grief headaches, moods and personal journey. I am hoping that you could recommend a book about PolyVagal theory so i can learn more about this super power! There are so many online, i don't know where to start. Thank you!
Your words & kindness brought out a lot of emotions from me. I’ve been struggling with grief, depression, and recent dx of ADHD ( which has filled in a puzzle piece I’ve missing searching for). I very much appreciate your gentle soul and will have this particular video on the ready xo
Thank you X 1000000 for this Cole ❤ I am recovering from CFS / long Covid right now and learning how much it has to do with the nervous system. This made me feel so good and gave me energy. I’ll be implementing these tools now! Much love being sent your way ❤
My daughters and I just went through this practice and it’s really a beautiful thing to learn to recognize what lens you are viewing your life through and to have these tools. Thank you
whenever i do yoga, I become keenly aware of my room, and my critical over thinking always tries to pull me away -- this needs to be cleaned, dusted, wiped, this smells, that's dirty i try to note it for later and stay in the moment 😵💫

Thank you for sharing. I’m a few steps behind you, also neurodivergent, chronic illness. Trying to find my balance. 💓

I agree, Qi Gong has shaking in it and I I’m so love it! Check it out :-)

Ah glad to hear you found some inner movement 🌸
Cole kicks butt on RUclips every time.
You are a super power Cole. Thank you for being brave enough to turn your own challenges into a way of helping others and making the world better. This really helped xxx
Namaste 🙏
Namaste!
even not practicing yoga right now, due to an injury, I've been watching and loving this series. So much power and kindness. Thanks
Ugh...I had a series of injuries around month 6, so wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏

Anchored by Deb Dana is absolutely my first recommendation!

Yesss it’s very normal that the mind tries to run! You’re not alone…I go into planning or to do lists
