I cannot thank you enough for mentioning that it takes some people years to finish SBSM. I am just now feeling ready to come back…not even sure where I left off…but following a very clear impulse and inner knowing that it is time!

[@crazykatrockchickhippie4835]

When you became emotional that your eyes showed Irene, I heard in my mind "aww bless her" then felt a stinging sensation in the centre of my chest which changed to an expansion of stings like they were bumping in to eachother.. There were no tears but the sensation of them wanting to come. I bought the 21day tune up around 2yr ago but something inside is almost frightened to start yet my mind says come on lets go. I'm now noticing the lump in my throat that want to cry 🤯Thank you for this video and the ease in how you explain 🙏

[@user-nu7ey5gn5o]

The trouble is I’m embodied, but I don’t feel safe on the inside. My body feels uncomfortable. When I feel like this the world outside feels uncomfortable. Cognitively I know I’m safe, but my body does not feel safe. This affects my relationships as I isolate myself. I’m hoping SBSM will help me to feel safe. I’ve signed up.

[@IreneLyon]

Yes. That makes sense. I would've fallen into that category as well: very physical and capable, but in functional freeze. Welcome to SBSM!

[@user-xv3bl4xl6t]

I love it when you say "We're meant to be regulated." The SBSM programme sounds great. My mum did Feldenkrais training many years ago, so I think that is cool and I find your mix of skills and experience intriguing. At the moment I'm fully committed with learning and work, but I hope the next time you run it after this one that I'll have the space I would need to commit to it.

[@Tigergrrll]

Thank you for this video- it’s helping me make some sense of some things. Even though I’ve got a ways to go ( and I know there’s no endpoint) I have noticed since doing this work and some Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen work, that despite have some mobility issues that have not fully healed yet, I’m a much better mover/ dancer. I felt like I never knew what do with my arms and hands before and now there is so much synchronized flow . This gives me hope that I’m on the right track towards full bodily freedom.

[@sienabarbarawagner4828]

I have been spontaneously engaging with...what I call cathartic dance....in my room to nice breath music mixes.....And I have opening witnessed myself when in certain movements an emotional response arise....just exploring.....thank you for these inquiries~

[@ellenhendricks4606]

I'm thrilled that you've started talking about parenting. I just had a baby and I am inhaling everything as it comes out. I feel like I'm surfing at the front of a wave of change. Also feeling heartbroken for my baby because I know it isn't fast enough.

Irene & Seth are angels. I feel very blessed to have found them online and ever since feeling and healing so much offline 🥰🧡🙏✌

[@nicholaslarmour5647]

You kept saying "I don't show you the exercises", for a couple videos bit this one with the story finally made it click for me. I get part of the "feeling process" is not guiding people though the body but teaching them to use the body to guide them towards mind/body connection... I see I would love to sign up for this but I am in the last 3 months of my RMT training so my plate is to full. Hopefully next cycle I can take these

You said trauma is not the event itself.. I’m scared the magnitude of the things I witnessed as a kid as they were during many years and the maltreatment I endured is just too much to ever be healed.. So based on your work the magnitude of the events is not the important thing? Is it possible to heal even a prolonged deep trauma? I’m worried it’s too much that I will never heal

[@IreneLyon]

Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. Thank you for your question and share. It is possible to work with deep, early trauma and live a better, more fulfilling life.

What is riffing?

[@chia9851]

Are there scholarships?

[@IreneLyon]

Hello, Sophia with Team Lyon here. We don't offer a sliding scale on our products or scholarships. We do offer monthly payment plans to accommodate those who need to budget out the cost of the program. What we often recommend to folks, who may not be able to jump into the 12-week SmartBody SmartMind™ (SBSM™) program right away, is to look at the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up self-study course. This is a fantastic way to start the process of rewiring the nervous system and it will get you up to speed with the foundational pieces so that when you do jump into the longer program, you're more than ready to do so. Plus, anyone who registers for the 21 Day program receives their money back when they sign up for the 12-week SBSM program! Irene’s blog is a wealth of information and full of fantastic articles (irenelyon.com/blog/) and her KZbin channel offers even more content in video format (kzbin.info). Drop-In Classes The Drop-In Classes are focused on learning how to naturally let go of stress and tension - all via the lens of the somatic and autonomic nervous system. The intent will be to bring in more space and ease throughout the entire body by practicing the basics of nervous system embodiment, via Irene’s skills as a Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Practice and Feldenkrais practitioner. You can read more about them, and register here - irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-1. Free Downloads In addition to the blog posts, Irene has also compiled some free downloads, which cover a range of topics. If you're looking to dive into some e-books, audio programs and longer form content, that's where you'll want to go. You can find those here - irenelyon.com/free-resources-2/. Free Facebook Group If you're looking to connect with a community of like-minded people and share your own experiences, you can jump into the Healthy Nervous System Revolution Facebook Group right over here - facebook.com/groups/nervoussystem/. As you can see, we offer a wide range of free resources to folks that are looking to heal at the nervous system level but don't have a large budget.

Experiencing sleep from a place of regulation is a totally different experience. I don't think I've really slept other than when in functional freeze since I was maybe...13? Overall my system is still out of whack, but when I'm able to sleep from a place of regulation I feel rested like I can't remember ever having felt rested. Amazing! 🩵

[@user-xv3bl4xl6t]

Wow, that sounds like a restedness of the gods!

I am very happy you’ve been able to experience true rest. It sounds nothing short of amazing. I was curious if you could provide any tips on how to achieve this beautiful slumber. I wake up feeling drained of all energy, despite an adequate amount of sleep in hours
