"It's a natural reaction to our stressful world". That's it. We are over-stimulated and most of us need to relax more. Thanks for another inspiring success story🎉

[@SaltyBibleCracker]

🥰🫶🏻🤩 So awesome! Thanks Lucy & Raelan!

[@idragonfly]

Good on You, Lucy !!! 👍

[@macijane236]

This story is amazing and inspiring af. For real, this story is ME. Thank you so much for what you do @Raelyn 🙏🏼💜 also, I love her shout out to Dan Buglio (I’m in that group) and she’s spot on regarding Miguel’s $6k bs. Bus this woman omg, it’s all about safety! I’m starting to get it I think finally. Long Covid for 2.5 years now. But really, I can now trace it back to being medicalized 5 years ago. But yeah, calm, safety and most importantly I’m beginning to embrace this as a much needed long over due lifestyle change after a life time in the music industry. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

[@RaelanAgle]

You got it, Maci Jane! 🧡 🧡 I'm so happy for you that you're putting the pieces back together!

[@rsalbatros]

Awesome! Thank you ❤

[@kaylaberry7983]

I love that…”just follow instructions”

[@ginnyburley9552]

Yeah, the world we live in is very hard on highly reactive people. It sure has been on me 😵‍💫. I appreciate hearing the stories of other people as they find better ways to live a good life.

[@rialtagirl]

Yes! It's up to us. Even when we are dealt a challenging hand, we can find a way to undo some of the internal reaction and have a well-deserved content life.

[@leslietownsend6167]

Thanks Raelan. KZbin says "Background play isn't available for this video." (For all your member only videos). All your non- member videos do play in the background. It would be so helpful if you could allow that for your member site. I listen while working. Thanks!

[@RaelanAgle]

Hi Leslie, I've tried all that I can do from my side - waiting for YT support to help out. Thanks so much for being patient with this! 🙏

[@saralewismurre2134]

Another great one! Thank you, Raelan and Lucy! ❤

[@RaelanAgle]

Thank you too, Sara! 🧡 🧡

[@lorikendall2213]

Another success story 🎉🙌🏼‼️ how can I find out more about the somatic breathing she mentioned ??? And I haven’t checked out the course yet , but part of my healing plan will definitely be to watch at least one of your videos Everydsy‼️ I’ve been dealing with this for 35 years 😤😫 but now is the time for my healing , I just know it

[@annemay3897]

I found many helpful exercises on the KZbin channel of Tanner murtagh. It might help you as well.

[@RaelanAgle]

Hi Lori! You can start by watching the YT videos Lucy mentioned. You'll find the links under the video, in the description box!

[@rialtagirl]

It's time! Just remember, you are in charge of undoing this brain "false reading". Dont let your brain "help!"

[@lorikendall2213]

@@rialtagirl but how , I don’t know where to start . Everyone is brain retraining , but using different programs 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@rialtagirl]

@@lorikendall2213 ​​⁠ recovery is based on some pretty simple concepts is how I see it. So Raelan‘s program and price was perfect for letting people get their toe in the water regarding what it is all about. And it’s really about following the brain training concepts, which are very basic tell your brain you’re fine. Tell your brain you’re fine in many different ways, but also being with other people that are going through this. It is absolutely vital even if you just join to have community it will be priceless because you have to find your peeps (people!)

[@Ronzo777]

Raelan I have a question: I recently started my own version of brain retraining piecing info. together from online, videos on your channel etc. I didn't want to pay for a programme so not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Anyway, I've noticed my appetite has increased massively since I started doing this, I feel ravenous all the time whereas previously I really struggled to eat. I'm also doing carnivore for my health. Is this appetite increase normal with brain retraining, in your experience? Thanks!

[@becoming_a_betty]

I really recommend Tanners channel too. Hes really great and he has some wonderful meditations and somatic practices all free on his channel 😊

[@becoming_a_betty]

I find this one particularly helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5m9pYppoKmdY9Usi=bVuaU6c_dw7qO-Nz

[@rialtagirl]

He's great. Explains it really well!

[@lianpeet3502]

Thanks again for another story of recovery. Was this over edited? Seemed rushed and jumped forward a bit? How exciting for you to have someone on thats recovered using your program!! Good for you. Love the comment: not a break down but a break through, thats quite profound.

[@rialtagirl]

Part of it I think is me :-) I talk fast and I jump around. My mind goes fairly quickly now. In fact, my intuition is off the charts because I broke open a very long term symptom of fear which squashes intuition. so I calm my happy psyche down tell it that we’re better and try to do less things :-)

[@lianpeet3502]

@@rialtagirl heehee yes you did talk fast. So much to share! I'm so happy for you and the progress you've made. Good for you! Yes the intuition and creativity opening up is such a wonderful and unexpected part of healing 🤗👏🙏

[@AnneAlready]

The Ros Lucy's referring to early in this video recovered from CFS too. She has a channel called Natural Healing for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

[@RaelanAgle]

Thank's so much, @AnneAlready! 🧡 🧡 I've added it to the notes under the video.

[@rialtagirl]

She's great! I love her. Kind and gentle but adamant

[@kaylaberry7983]

I know you have interviewed a ton of people and have talked to other leaders of brain retraining programs, do you know of anyone else without a thyroid that has had this illness and has recovered or could you find out if another coach knows of someone in this situation? I had mine removed when living in mold before finding the mold and thought thyroid was my issue, clearly it wasn’t. But now I’m in CFS Recovery and it is helping but I would love to hear from someone who actually doesn’t have a thyroid and has recovered.

[@ecat1111]

I think she said she got better when she stopped all the supplements at one point, but I couldn’t tell. Like it shifted her thinking? A bit confused about that. Can someone clarify? ❤

[@rialtagirl]

The supplement regimen did help with my health, it didn't move my recovery forward. But it sent me in a direction of better health which was necessary for me. I did Keto 2 times before I got sick. I believe that it may have contributed to my illness. My body was heading downhill to the crash and I stressed my body with the Keto diets. These weren't "keto ice cream" diets. They were 30g carb/day lots of meats, etc. It was gross "dirty" Keto. Not good for someone whose system is starting to be compromized.

[@ecat1111]

@@rialtagirl thank you 🙏 this is very helpful information!!

[@becoming_a_betty]

@@rialtagirl So interesting! I too got unwell after doing a strict keto diet. I think it was definitely the final trigger in an already stressed system xx

[@luvinmaks]

Lucy is me!

[@rialtagirl]

Have fun!

[@user-xe5yy1xy6x]

Interesting. I am not discounting it for some people, but before travelling I get so excitedly happy that I can't sleep. After not falling asleep due to happiness, I realize I will be tired and then get anxious about falling asleep. Then I am up all night worried about being exhausted on my trip. This can send me into a fibro/ibs flair. When travelling, unless there are no fans, no heat pumps, blackout curtains, no weird chemical cleaning product smells, I can't sleep. Travelling is not relaxing at all for me.

[@rialtagirl]

[@djVania08]

This is very weirdly edited. There is information jumps. I think rather make it longer and comprehensive than rush through for the sake of having shorter video. Shorter doesn't mean better, imo.
