Brilliant. I love your work Peter. Your teaching here and your journey of discovery is fascinating. I feel like you have presented the grace of the human experience. Suffering and enlightenment. Wow wow wow….

I want to be reworked.

Was für eine tolle Übersetzerin. Sie ist so einfühlsam, wie Peter Levine. Danke an beide, für diese wundervolle Arbeit.

The first woman did not want to be touched at the end (hand holding). Peter Levine insisted. I felt he was crossing boundaries. He was definitely crossing mine! Was this on purpose as exposure?

Serious: THIS explanation ties so many things together! PLEASE contact Michael Levin (watch his YT video: The Bioelectric Interface to the Intelligence of the Body: the future of biomedicine); he's able to re-grow limbs using a technique that seems like it could ALSO be used for emotions (I can't see why not; you need voltage to open/change the "gate" to -- in this case -- the painful event(s) because there is ALSO a brain component, as you've said here). Another 3 things: 1.) Because fractals exist, perhaps your vortices are the equivalent of/ARE black holes. 1.5.) fractals exist. Looking into Parts work/IFS from Schwarts is fascinating and could also help give insights into consciousness (not your thing, BUT Parts are like little beings with distinct personalities and they do jobs. Say, to make you eat sugar because you feel undervalued at work; it makes you eat sugar because you feel better when you eat sugar. True story from a hypnosis client of mine!). If (IF) we are fractals of a higher being, then it stands to reason that these Parts are fractals of our beings. 2.) It takes 2 of similar events for a thing to occur, not just 1. I found this out by being a hypnotherapist: a Part would say "I 'came around' when they were 5 and (x a painful or confusing event) happened... but I started 'doing my job' when they were 7 when (x, a same-emotional-feeling event) happened." I started asking each Part when it "came around" and also when it started "doing it's job" -- it'd tell me 2 separate, but similar, events -- like a specific chord on a piano was being played a second time. Most times in hypnosis, people with hellish PTSD experiences don't actually go back to the PTSD-inducing time -- they go back to that "original" one; the PTSD event is the 2nd. A modality called Biodecoding is the only other thing I've found that also knows -- and teaches -- this. They call the first event the Programming Event, like you program a computer, and the second event a Triggering Event, which runs the computer program. It will also now run at specific timing intervals (Biodecoding can explain that) and/or when the thing gets close enough, it will either get sucked in, like with your vortices(/potential black holes), OR there will be an "avoidant" activity (also caused by another Part), as you described about your stream going down. Your video at 16:00 of dragging a pen through the powder on liquid reminded me of the timing (Biodecoding also speaks of that) thing: it perhaps does that AND/OR each ripple coming out of each vortice also may also affect things. Meaning: perhaps 1 event is 1 vortice that "ripples out" and each time something is "sucked into it," it "ripples out" again (much like a distress beacon. "I need help, there is pain here!" and then "I STILL need help, there is STILL pain here!"). I actually think this is what DNA and epigenetics also is: that the DNA is the Programming Event and the event here in this life is a Triggering Event (or they can both happen in this lifetime, or another lifetime, OR through the ancestors' -- THEN it is within us as we are born). 2.5.) Some Parts "help" by punishing. 2.75.) Some are Tricksters and some are bullies and others are just Mean (some MAY be "dark" consciousnesses/spirits/etc). 3.) In the brain there are 2 sets of neurons, 1 set keeps and reveals painful memories, and the other supressed them (YOUR GRAVITRON SPINNERS. If we never suppressed the pain, we'd just cry for forever and get stuck in Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn mode from that painful-event onward; not good for survival but useful for a MOMENT in time). Look into the NIH article Scientists discover brain cells compete sustain or supress traumatic memories. (IFS/Parts work would call those Protectors/Controllers or Extinguishers (or other Parts; they prevent emotional flooding from occurring). 4.) PTSD has to do with the PCC, Post Cingulate Cortex, region of the brain, which is the "what does this have to do with me?"/personal story and identification portion of the brain (aka BELIEFS) AND the memories are felt in REAL TIME, unlike other memories,hence their potentcy and also stubbornness in leaving (why leave if the Triggering Event keeps occurring?) Look into the LA Post article Traumatic memories continue to torment PTSD patients -- here's why. (The PCC seems to be directly involved with the "Parts.") -- Speaking of the PCC, Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who studies the brains of meditators and others, is an expert of it (Michael Pollen has interviews of him and such; you can look intoit and him) would also be worth getting into a room with. You all need to get into the same room at the same time. And also get 2 people who can reliably see energy (I can recommend people. I also want to be in the room. Dr. James Hardt of Biocybernauts should also be in the room.

To experience what we fear the most is our true salvation. To fearfully avoid this necessary and heroic process is the root cause of the perpetuation of suffering. The total and complete cure for all trauma, is to allow oneself to fully feel what we have always been afraid to feel. It is unequivocally connected to fear of death. All fear is rooted in fear of death. Whether you have obvious trauma or not (everybody is traumatized to some extent merely by being born), surrendering to fear of death is the ultimate endeavor. To spiritually die before you physically die, is what true rebirth is. It is the true induction into spiritual life. You must feel to infinity. You must allow full emotional feeling to expand to infinity without disengaging out of fear. To fully allow this process is not your destruction. It is only the destruction of the false-self, the ego-self, the one that is afraid to die. If this process is allowed to fully manifest, then inevitably the True Eternal Self Divinely Emerges, and is "born" and Known, for the first time. This is what is meant by "Know Thy Self". Practice everyday, until this miraculous breakthrough occurs. Adi Da Samraj - "You tend to think according to convention that faith is a matter of believing something that you’re called to believe or suggest that you believe. Faith is really a heart disposition of trust in Reality in the context of Reality. You all tend to describe yourselves as people who really don’t trust that much. You are alienated, for feel psychologically mistrustful. Therefore you invent all kinds of games for your own sake to feel better or survive or to conquer or enjoy some sort of victory over what you don’t trust, which is Reality. You don’t trust Reality. You are self-possessed, mortal. You know all sorts of limitations exist within you and relationships altogether, to others and the natural world and business altogether. And this registers within you as a feeling of mistrust. The open heart is inherently characterized by faith. Not believing this or that. It’s not a mind matter you see. Its a disposition, a feeling of trust. That feeling of trust is the root of sanity. You are relatively insane by comparison. Because there is a fundamental disposition of mistrust. The body is going to die, people can leave you, people can abuse you. You can suffer, you get become diseased. All mistrust language. I, I, I, I, me, me, me it’s all mistrust signals, as if you’ve observed reality so thoroughly that you knew mistrust was an appropriate disposition. You are just localized in your self-contraction and you make a philosophy out of it. You talk about reality as if you knew Reality. All it is a dramatization of a fundamental psychological disposition of mistrust. And this is what governs your life. It’s another way of describing egoity. A fundamental feeling of alienation and mistrust. Whereas the core of religious life, truly animated, truly lived, is founded in the heart-disposition of trust and that’s another way of describing true feeling then. Self-surrender, self-forgetting. It’s a fundamental feeling of trust and that is faith. It’s not feeling that you can escape death, that the body doesn’t have to suffer, that nothing bad will happen in life, it’s not that, those things happen anyway, one way or another. But even in the midst of a circumstance where those things do happen, the truly religious awakened person enjoys the feeling of trust. And this is at the root, the core. This is not just a superficial mind gesture based on “I read this” “I believe that”, it’s not that you see. It’s a core disposition of trust, of well being, integrity. And of course the root of that is no-self, self-surrender, self-forgotten. Embracing reality all together even though you you can’t comprehend it in your mind. But embracing it, a disposition of self-giving. That shows itself in a human being as a sign of sanity, true sanity. Well-being in the midst of all this mortal display that bodily manifested beings suffer." - Adi Da Samraj

What type of glasses is he wearing. What are they called? Where do I purchase them? Thank you

Thank you so much! I m in the Intermediate year of the SE training and I m very curious about the lights and what is their effect. What are they called? Would be great to get some informations! Thank you 🙏🏽♥️

Thank you .❤

Thank you both so much for the indescribable contribution you both have made and continue making to help us and to make the world a better place! ❤🥲

Dang. I can't find my moment... Trying to think of one moment that isn't tainted by loss, one moment of complete bliss. Can't find it :/

I just can't stop thinking about the Palestinians who lost their homes, they can't return , they tried everything peacefully like the March of return and they were ki/=led by the occupation army. Palestinians have right. There is not enough video in the world that would allow us to heal from western colonialism and imperialism. We are sick of USrael stealing middle east ressources and bomb it whatever it seems convenient to them. There is no healing when you can't recognize the systemic oppression of capitalist system. The west is able to thrive by overexploiting and stealing ressources all over the world . That's why decolonial psychology is very important. You can heal individually when the whole system is sick and is based on oppression and patriarchy. Free the middle from the usa..

Thats pretty close to the AUM singing that comes from the indian cultures. Its also told, that it can cure a lot of things, if its practiced regularly while weeks and months. I do 30 AUMS in the morning and in the evening, it takes me around 20min. I am curious to see what it does to my complaints ...

Why are white people feeling bad but not doing anything - get the hell off their land!

I wish there was even a little intro for people ( like me ) who have no idea what this is even about.

Yes! Treat the whole Human not the symptoms! ❤

Stop killing natives you whites!

No no and no.

No psychadelics for dissociative personalities. No No no. Bad way.

Mr. Levine is such a loving person!!! Who is the lady that does the wonderful reflection after the sessions?

Great questions!

Dear Mr. Levine, You, Bessel van der Kolk an at the beginning David Servan-Schreiber are the essential personalities who helped me understanding my Trauma, my body sensationen and illnesses. I'd love to see you live one day because your presence your voice and of your research and experience is helping me navigate through my trauma response. Thank you and greetings from Switzerland.

Me gustaría preguntar por la limerencia, ¿qué tipo de trauma es? gracias que dios puso en el mundo alguien realmente preocupado por el trauma. Siempre hemos sido estigmatizados como esquizofrénicos, etc. Gracias.

I just started watching your channel and your voice and wisdom soothe my nervous system.

Dear Dr. Peter Levine:What us goung un Gaza is unbearae. They have multiplte compound Traumas. Losing her families. Here I turn to Dr. Peter Levinr if he has some input about what we can do in this situation. We need a group who committed to few hours a week telemedicine or other social platforms depending of they have working. Please consider. The bigger the group the better. I hopr Dr . Leving can send few hours to talk about comex multiple traumas. There is on good thing through the huge tragedy: we can start treating early. Please volunteer and help.

This is such a powerful video. I get the comment about the lack of views: it deserves more exposure. Peter Levine's presence, born of long experience and deep insight, is so powerful. I'm about to start therapy with a person originally trained in EMDR now training in SE and my sense is that having the opportunity to see Peter Levine 'in action' has given me a much clearer picture of what this therapy is, has increased my confidence in it and will help me benefit from it. So, thank you for posting the video of these sessions and I hope it helps lots of other folk too.

this reality, so fraught with so much often absolutely unavoidable treachery and trauma, is absolutely brutal… so much sorrow to try and recover from… what an absolute tragedy..

Very wise words... ❤ There are so many informations...

I'm not convinced that he Actually knows the lyrics to row row row your boat.

Thank you very much for these gems! 🙏

Transformational change made possible through the juxtaposition of traumatic memory and present awareness of safety. This is another beautiful example of memory reconsolidation as the fundamental mechanism of change which is at the heart of most trauma related therapies. Check out Memory Reconsolidation by Bruce Ecker.

Its amazing how the trauma was released without having to talk about the details.

Fantastic work thank you very much Dr. Levine. Oscar from Argentina

Thank you for the video Dr. Levine! I had a great way with dealing with traumatic events when I was younger. Nothing could tore me down. I started only developing freeze response in my 40's while at the same time experiencing perimenopause symptoms and going through a prolonged stressful period and losing my father two years ago. I've been trying to get back to the old me and the strength and coping mechanism I used to have all my life but unfortunately nothing seams to be working. I feel a mental, emotional and physical blockage. It feels like a vicious cycle that is hard to break out of it.

this is the essense of non-duality. I've always thought that overcomeing trauma leads to spiritual understanding. Great video sir, thank you.

I am sure Dr. Levine that your methods have helped countless ppl in the world but they could help many more in a different socio economic system for all ppl as seen in the venus project, The zeitgeist movement. You are a symbol of this society cuz you are solving the problems that this socienty has created from the roots of its structure thru a market economy which in the end has served you and you have served it like many others. But what if we were are all for deep change in the system? Doing away with structural violence, cultural violence, creating something totally new. Getting out of the system of winners and losers and so much more propaganda we have on a daily basis.

Is anyone aware of demonstration videos that do not have real time translation - which is is really disruptive as a viewer? Thank you!

The mantra, the rosary, is the same principle that you describe. This is what will calm the mind and bring balance. When we are in the background of one action, we begin another action. If you experience strong emotions and begin to read the mantra, then a discharge will occur. Repeated movements relieve tension! But when you are deeply traumatized, you completely fall into a negative vortex. You can't even realize it. There is no connection with the body. You are spinning and spinning in hell. And if your first experience in life is a strong shock? When your parent is a tyrant and a psychopath. That's when it's very difficult. You need to create a positive funnel. Restore connection with body and emotions. Then set off between the two vortices. Conclusion - God never left this world. Otherwise, everything would have fallen apart long ago, this becomes clear from your explanation. Thanks to your books, I was able to pull my consciousness out of the negative funnel. But there was still work to be done to heal. Thank you so much!

Thank you Peter, for bring us light to people that we suffer trauma!🙏🏼

❤❤❤

Mr. Levine your are a real blessing for all of us, and i have already so much learnt from you (Workshops, Videos for Years now ;).) I am also a ISP (Raja Selvam) trained Clinical Psychologist in Austria, Europe. I will now start a "Neuro Center" here, which is specialized on the autonome and central nervous system. Will build up a team of specialists (e.g. Neuropsychologists, Somatic Psychologists, Neurofeedback Therapists). I think this will be a good thing. Mr. Levine, i wish you all the best, thank you for all and stay healthy for a long time yet, affectionate regards, Michael Mair

Thank you Mr. Levine for this interesting and enlightening video about healing and integrating trauma.

Love this, however, I don't know what the acronyms stand for? What is SMR for example

I don’t understand. How do I ‘sail’ through the middle of these two ‘vortexes’ practically speaking? I’m so tired of living the way I live. I’m in pain

Wow trauma motivates seeking . . . so at least it has some kind of silver lining

I suspect we do this naturally - spin between the two vortexes taking a bit from each and continuing on the journey of life. Otherwise none of us would be able to survive the physical and psychological traumas we manage to live through. I am 71 years old and have been living with trauma my entire life. I am still triggered by simple interactions but seemingly less so after each experience. Living with unresolved trauma is draining. Thank you for this video. It gave me a vehicle by which to better understand what I’ve been going through.
