I really liked what Helen said about thought generated emotions verses true or authentic emotions. I get a lot of thought generated emotions, primarily fear and anxiety. If I listen to them, they hold me back from doing what I need to do to move forward, authentically.

[@RaelanAgle]

That's such a powerful insight! 👏

[@cinderling5472]

Same 😢

[@FaithSquaredMusic]

I lost count of the golden nuggets of insight and wisdom here: understanding the difference between activities that give you energy and those that don't, how to rationally analyze thoughts of worst-case scenarios, imagining how you'll feel when things go well... brilliant on every front and beautifully expressed. I've decided to call my over-thinking brain "Nellie" (as in Nervous Nellie) and my emotional but much more logical brain "Ellie" (Carl Fredrickson's wife in the Pixar movie UP). Adventure is out there! So are joy and wholeness! Thank you again Raelan. You always interview wonderful people!

[@RaelanAgle]

So glad you enjoyed the interview and found it valuable 🧡🧡 Helen's insights are pure gold!! 🌟

[@InsightfulHealing]

thank you ☺ Hope you make friend with Nellie and that you're able to keep listening to Ellie ❤

This lady is a healer. I think every single person who lives through such illness and circumstance also eventually becomes a person of rich empathy and understanding. How can you not after walking through such a blaze of pain and suffering. It doesn’t matter so much about method and understanding or techniques. You just have to get out of the way of the process. Through all the despair, It’s actually quite beautiful ❤️

[@InsightfulHealing]

Thank you for your kind words - having walked through the brambles for far longer than I would want anyone to, I love helping guide others out of theirs ☺

[@henwilki6693]

@@InsightfulHealing oh and btw…. I’m from the uk, so to hear someone use the word w****r during a recovery video was pure delight 🤣❤️❤️❤️ so refreshing 💪

[@Conquerchronicillness]

Great wisdom from both of you! Loved this interview! Thankful for the genuine healers out there like her ❤

[@RaelanAgle]

Glad you found it helpful! 🧡 🧡

[@michellemoore9030]

This is so good ! Doing things I want and enjoy, my symptoms drop right down - days out with my partner, holidays . I sat on a river boat recently in the sunshine for couple hours and I felt completely normal! I had an 11 day holiday abroad and after day 2 my symptoms calmed down and I managed well . Came home and went to do food shopping which I hate and felt dreadful again !

[@InsightfulHealing]

Keep listening to your body ☺

[@SplendidlyBright]

Love Byron Katie and her questions, so powerful!

Thank you 😊

[@nolamayer4101]

Love this interview on how we use our energy. When my family was recently overseas and I was home walking our daughters dog, even though I drove to the park one house away, people commented, “ oh you just need to get a dog to walk”, so I took a deep breath and explained I need to cut my material to fit my pattern and that material size is what it is at this moment. Yes I could take Alfie to the park but I could spend the rest of the day doing nothing if I wanted. No cooking, cleaning, shopping etc. Hopefully they got it but not my problem if they didn’t 😂

[@AnrupB]

Thank you both! This program and approach has always made so much sense to me. I feel like I’ll be ready to start soon. Also, I’m sooo shocked it’s been a year! Time has flown since the last interview!

[@InsightfulHealing]

Thank you 🙂When you feel ready, and if you want, book a free discovery call with me or one of the other MBR practitioners and we can explain more about how sessions work ...

[@maryandmartha]

This is such a great interview (and the editing is great...so much more relaxing!). Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor would be worth looking into. She lost the function of her left brain because of a stroke at the age of 37. As a neuroscientist, the whole injury and recovery taught her so much about the function of the left and right brain. She learned that we actually have a left and right thinking brain and a left and right emotional brain. She suggests naming all four of these parts of the brain because they behave so differently. She'd probably be a great guest!

[@InsightfulHealing]

Ooo, I haven't heard of her so will be looking into this - thank you! I'm excited about 2 Wanda's- slight wary about 2 Warrens 😂

[@maryandmartha]

@@InsightfulHealing haha... don't worry! Wanda and Warren are left-brain characters! It's about getting to know the right brain, and opposing characters to the two W's. They are the fun, joyful, peaceful, present and spiritual characters. 👍🙏

[@Conquerchronicillness]

@@maryandmarthacan you link a video? Would love to learn more as well!

[@maryandmartha]

@@Conquerchronicillness Here is her first ever talk on what happened: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6rcm4hum994j7c and then she recently wrote a book called Whole Brain Living where she talks about the 4 characters. This is a great interview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDbkI1_rL-Xps0

[@sunshinenOJ]

@@Conquerchronicillness Jill Bolte Taylor [neuroscientist who had a stroke and built back all her skills] has 2 books. The most recent book, whole brain living, divides the brain into 4 parts, left [logic]and right [creative] thinking brain, and left and right emotional brain. Its very interesting .

[@rachelleki333]

Thank you so much for doing this and for all your guest 💗 I just developed this a few months ago. I've also had anxiety issues all my life but when this hit wow I really didn't think I was going to live. But I'm still going to Dr appointments and I've told them I have all these symptoms most of your guest are having. The episodes come out of no where the out of breathe and heart racing and weakness to the point I literally almost faint and then get extremely shaking and very hot then I have to rest sometimes after I'm weak and shaky for a few days and constant fatigue at times I just stay in bed or on the sofa and I used to be active. My dog is frustrated because we don't go on long walks now and my family is loving but I think they think it's in my head. This has been the most debilitating experience I've had in my life. Your channel is helping me alot Thank You ❤

[@tanyawieczorek6603]

[@brooksbarton-ne9sm]

I understand what you’re saying, in terms of listening to our emotional brain in terms of what we really desire, but here’s the thing we often have to do things in life that we don’t want to do. Some people don’t have the luxury or option of quitting a job to pay the bills. Surely there must be a way in the program to reframe an experience so that we see it differently, and therefore don’t have the same emotional reaction to it.have you ever seen people like that despite not being able to quit their jobs because they don’t enjoy their jobs as an example are still able to recover?

[@ezza1236]

Congratulations you’re living like most people, life isn’t perfect, but other people know this and don’t have symptoms, so what’s the difference with you ?

[@sheli4795]

​@@ezza1236Empathy can be learned. You should practice it.

[@amygregg1658]

@brooksbarton That’s such a great question! I was wondering this as well. 😘

[@InsightfulHealing]

@@sheli4795 ❤ Yep some of us are lucky enough to have empathy, we're sensitive caring people who often put others before ourselves and so, sadly, we are more likely to not meet our own needs and experience symptoms. Not everyone will be able to understand this though...

[@InsightfulHealing]

The thing is I'm not saying that we have to do big things - yes I quit my job to do this work (which I really love) but i was well before I quit my job. The emotional brain doesn't need us to necessarily take big actions but to be honest with ourselves about how we truly feel and to take actions that better meet our needs 🙂

[@annabelhawkins6963]

Thank you for sharing another insightful video. I have watched quite a few now and i understand the mind body basics and can see how that has played a part with my illness but i struggle with how to find joy when i cant do most of the things that i enjoy because im not physically well enough to do sports and i cant sing because my throat is always sore and just breaks when i try and sing. So i get that we need to focus on doing things that we enjoy but how if your symptoms are too severe or strong? Thank you

[@InsightfulHealing]

Hi, just start with really really small things - a candle, a plant, a change of scene, a bit of music, a bit of a book... Sing a line or two, or just humm along for a bit. Small things really can make big differences. Our emotional brain will be happy with these small changes...

[@annabelhawkins6963]

Thank you for replying

[@hopeandheal-c4b]

I loved this interview!

[@InsightfulHealing]

Thank you ☺

[@andrea9104-i7d]

This idea sounds silly, but I tried it and it worked! For me it's a feeling that comes over me when I am fatigued - a kind of anxiety. It grows as I rest, in the knowledge of all the things I'm 'supposed to be doing' and the fear of making errors in my work, which I do. Making that feeling into an 'entity' wasn't something I had thought of. It seemed to be called William. When it arises I tell William very firmly to go away. And he does! I really wouldn't have thought something so simple and childlike would work, but it has worked very quickly. Maybe the medieval idea of being possessed by demons wasn't such a crazy way of thinking after all! It works psychologically. Coming across this may be timely for me as I have also been working hard on my pacing etc over the last 4.5 years with long covid and more recently with brain training. But this has flipped a switch. Thank you both. ❤

[@InsightfulHealing]

I'm so happy to hear this. Unfortunately without us intending it to, our life can become full of "to dos" and "shoulds" rather than those things that make us feel at peace, or happy or energised. Keep going 🙂

[@tanyawieczorek6603]

What Long Covid symptoms did/do you have?

[@MKBlovesu]

Raelan, do you have any videos about people recovering from ehlers-danlos syndrome (EDS)?

[@rileyensz9429]

Have you heard of Ribeye Rachel? She recovered from EDS but I don't know how severe hers was.

[@codig.3613]

This is an amazing one I just listened to about EDS and many other symptoms. Gigi also did a video with Dan last year, she had eds too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXvVlah-bJqtsK8

Were does the muscle twitching comes from in Long Covid?

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Hyperactive nervous system

[@shankar0cr]

I also have internal vibrations along with it. Not sure what to do about it.

[@Truerealism747]

Had all that but pain is now worst symptom all our monkey 🐒 brain​@@shankar0cr

[@JuGren]

​@@shankar0crI know those internal vibrations. I had them only in my legs, felt really creepy. Mine went away during the time I started my Low Dose Naltrexone treatment ( I took ldn for about 3 months, starting with 1g and increasing the dose every 2 weeks up to 4g). An other symptom that disappeared were those uncontrollable attacks of physical feelings of stress during the mornings. Long Covid apparently is different for everyone, so there's no guarantee, but perhaps its worth a try.

[@shankar0cr]

@@JuGren thanks. I will give it a try. Did it come back once you stopped taking ldn?

[@michellecameron1370]

Louise Hay ... emotions tell your body a story .. not loving yourself enough as Louise said especially for women is breast cancer .. would you talk to a friend how you talk to yourself sometimes.. nope

[@jessicanilsson5941]

Hi where Brianfog Come from

[@InsightfulHealing]

It's another symptom (our body will use as many as it can to get our attention) but can also be linked to us feeling unsafe - if there's a tiger in the room we're going to be on high alert and unlikely to remember the shopping list, make plans, be productive etc. And can also be linked to us not using the energy we have in a way that makes us feel good and creates more energy...

[@MarianneLandry]

Maybe Pierre has a french accent, subconsciously because of michel in Gilmore girls. 😂 That is, if you watched it. That guy is soo dysregulated all the time 🙈 but he is the funniest

What ever happened to altruism

[@Truerealism747]

Government s globally fractured society unfortunately

[@MrsTigerbalm]

Maybe the secret is that Warren and Wanda started to get included in the altruism? ❤

[@InsightfulHealing]

Ooo this is an interesting take... In my experience it is far easier to be altruistic when you have energy, feel safe and are living without pain! It's been so much easier to 'give' to others when I'm not completely depleted 🙂

[@InsightfulHealing]

@@MrsTigerbalm exactly this 😍

[@cab26]

Helping others can help us BUT it doesn't pay the bills and the pressure to do paid work is painful.
