How To Relieve Stress And Anxiety Fast (Somatic Practice)

[@Levaatulaulau]

You have literally changed my life overnight ! I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun - acupuncture, dry needling, all the types of massage, pills, meditation, journaling, exercise and so on… I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to continue to care for my children (single mum)… highest appreciation beyond words for your work ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Im 44, never experienced any real anxiety but have a high stress job and 17 years of this has taken its toll and for the 1st time in my life, experiencing spikes of high blood pressure was not good. My stress limits have reduced about 25% making my normal high stress limits overflow and my body crashes. I tried addressing my blood pressure by diet but didnt actually address the cause! Found this KZbin channel and looking forward to seeing the results. My physical health is very good but need to address the stress issues. Excellent content so far and will watch all of the videos. Thank you 😊

@@rhondapelletier2141 Reduce negative thoughts. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, hands on lap with palms facing upwards, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. During the day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make this a daily habit to have a relaxed life. Best wishes and prayers.

I love everything about this video. For years now I've been in/out of treatment for alcohol/substance abuse disorder. I've attended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anger Management and recently Mindfulness, all of which have been helpful. The 12 step approach even more so because it over action and service as a means to help however there's so many rules. Church has even more requirements for a person to follow. All of these are good with me but I'm looking for mental, emotional and spiritual wholeness. The information here helps. And it's a pretty cool way to practice Self-Care. Thank you for your passion and your time.

[@matthewdexter]

I'm finding your series of somatic relaxation very interesting, not something I have tried before, so please keep up with doing more. As for anxiety, I have suffered with it all my life, mainly social anxiety and I have always used my hands to help myself as in when I am super anxious I would dig my nails into my fingers and really screw my hands up tight and concentrate on that feeling, I always thought it was just a distraction as it seemed to help but now you have explained the relationship between fingers and the brain, that really opens up alot of new ideas about why that helps me, and also, thank you for helping me :) you are also a beautiful human for what you do.

[@SukieBaxter]

Thank you, Matthew, that's really lovely to hear. And interesting that you'd already found a connection to your hands on your own! Maybe an acupressure ring would be slightly less uncomfortable than digging your nails into your fingers, though? 🙂 Let me know how it goes for you.

[@matthewdexter]

@@SukieBaxter Hi Sukie, I have been using the rings today, I got a pack of 10 of them, tried them on my fingers and toes, I really like them and yes they are quite intense and tight if you keep them in the same place, I did not get much from using them on my toes but found I really got some benefit from using them on my fingers, I found that using just 2 of them and moving them around was really nice, I have not used them in a place of anxiety yet but I can see these will be pf great help, thank you so much for the recommendation :)

I really like your videos and use them frequently and I am very grateful for your content - may I make a suggestion/ preference suggestion?

[@johnpalgrave9331]

So grateful, I am, for this one (followed others' of yours) - while watching I began the same motion using my first three fingers and thumb, producing immediate relief (decades of 'managing' tension!). The science is so useful 🙏

[@reginaldjesus3]

I think a big problem for me is that I can get overly excited about anything now (this wasn't always the case). It's like the excitability (good or bad) features won't shut off. When I start to relax, my muscles will twitch, sometimes constricting and and relaxing. I am trying to "reset my vagus nerve" to shut off my bodies feature. I love sports, but now I can become so excited that I'm super-tensed. I think it's called excessive sympathetic activity.

Thank you so much for this Sukie. I was really agitated at work today and I found this video while on a break. I don't have those rings, but I started massaging my fingers and got a yawn response. Calmed down quickly. I'm so glad I found you via the vagus nerve reset video.

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

I started right away using 3 fingers from my other hand. It's very pleasant and is relaxing. I have a tendency to cold hands, esp. in winter in Canada. It warms them much faster, than if I'm trying to warm them other ways. Did you eventually order the rings and find they made a difference or worked any better?

[@PsychoGemini]

I never got the rings as I found just using my hands worked fairly well. My hands also get quite cold in winter so this exercise has another bonus of getting the circulation going.

I have had major problems with my throat getting tight every time I eat and it then it feels blocked and it will make me scream cause it feels like it closing. I believe it’s a mix of acid coming up which mine would be silent cause I don’t have any other physical symptoms like heartburn or burning. The acid can come up anytime and I think it is creating anxiety and it’s been really hard to eat. I don’t think about it and as soon as I eat it does all these things. I’ve been to a lot of doctors and everything else seemed to be fine. There might be inflammation but it gets super tight and my muscles whenever I try to eat. I swallowed a small piece of shrimp a year ago and ever since then it hasn’t been the same and had an er visit so I believe it’s things from that.

Olive oil! It creates DAO which will help you clear out excess histamine. Make sure it solidifies in the fridge, that's how you know it isn't watered down at all. Pompeian is a good brand in the grocery store that's clean and 100% pure delicious olive oil. Two spoonfuls when you start getting bad allergies. Also, forget the fat phobia myths. Olive oil is good fat and you can't really take too much of it. Update: Also, neti pot on Amazon. You can diy the saline solution, google it, so it's cheaper. And extra virgin coconut oil too! Mix it with veggies and fruits. Absolutely delicious! You may also have an allergy to a food, maybe see an allergist and get tested?
