I come from a family that has neglected serious mental health issues like this for 3 generations (that I have met). It is interesting to see how each mother in my family has dealt with anxiety. Each generation has improved it, but not fully addressed the anxiety response itself. My grandma has a body full of disease mostly due to chronic stress, my mother following in her footsteps at age 60. Im 24 and I refuse to develop these health issues, and I am determined to address this anxiety and save my body from a lifetime of chronic stress. It’s possible people!!

THANK YOU!!! I struggle with complex PTSD and it's so hard to calm myself down without help. These techniques really helped and I can use them throughout the day when I feel the stress building or the paranoid anxiety. To anyone out there struggling with PTSD of any kind I feel your pain and I understand your struggle. You are not alone even though your brain may tell you otherwise.

[@hugo3conde]

Its a continuous struggle daily - I try different techniques and coming back to my breath - usually helps me the most. Ideally, the more and more we practice these techniques, our brain, as it is neuroplastic, should adapt and get the message that we are safe and it should lower the amount of times it triggers these alarms! Stay strong everyone!

This is a great reminder that the body is not the medium for anxiety’s messages, it is a partner in generating and sustaining anxiety. Those of us with anxiety disorders can’t always “think away” anxiety because our bodies are doing their own, separate thing while it’s happening. And, as he mentions, it’s not about never feeling anxious (or angry, another expression of anxiety), which everyone does, it’s about recovering quickly to a calm state when you do.

Wow. Thank you so much for this, Lucas. I've been researching ways to help manage my complex-PTSD for over 4 years now. It's a living hell - nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety, depression - the whole lot. I have tried EMDR, EFT, 7 different medications, meditation apps, reiki/massage, CBT, talking therapy... and yet I have never seen or found mention of the yogic techniques you present. I've literally just gone through the exercises as you talked me through them and, for the first time in 5 years, I've managed to get my heart rate back down and I genuinely feel calm. My blood pressure is consistently through the roof from the panic attacks and stress response...I haven't seen it go down to a normal level the whole time I've had c-PTSD. It's insane what just happened there. I can't describe how great that feels. It feels like a miracle. I feel better in my body right now, and it gives me hope that I'll still be able to get better long term. Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best my friend, you're not alone!!

So sorry to hear it. I can sort of relate.

Im almost 40, so hard to say. But, it is a living hell at times smh.

I'm 58. Get an empathetic doctor. & I've been taking magnesium daily for 20 years. Recently into Reishi tea (grind dried slices in coffee grinder) & sauteed Lion's Mane mushrooms. Also eat grass -fed beef liver 1x week. All that helps too 😌 & cool or cold showers as tparker mentions above. Took one yesterday as when sleep deprived I run hot. Instant relief.

[@tapiaboyz8014]

This is a good way to manage your anxiety and get stuck living with it. I been stuck watching videos like this for a long time, don't ignore, push away, or trick your brain it's a losing game and your showing and confirming your brain that there is fear. You must face the fear, feel it and show it that you are in control and there is nothing to fear. You have to show the brain that there is nothing to fear because there isn't. Repeat over and over and you'll see that your fears of anxiety will diminish and go away in time. STOP running away and doing these silly coping mechanisms.

When I was a child I used to modulate my humming with not just frequency, but tempo to clam myself and to sleep. As a baby I almost died and sadly I spent my first 3 months in a hospital. My mother said long ago, that I started humming in the hospital, that humming was always a part of my bedtime routine. Humming has always helped calm myself regardless if I was in physical, mental, or emotional destress. Though I knew well enough when I was young to hum even when I was in a great mood too. This is all true to this day 53 years later. Though I must add that I don't need to hum as much as I needed in my youth, as I am better able to dance through my emotions more gracefully. These days I have to make a point to hum, and that when I do put effort into it, that I defiantly feel I am resonating higher. As my life transforms, so does the reason I hum.

I am now in my mid 70s and I realize that if I had had some counseling I would not have had to relive the trauma or at least for so long but that I would’ve found a healing and let the past be in the past and thank God for the good times in my life and for the people around me that love me . I pray that you can move on and if you feel you need to speak to someone to get a better understanding and then move on then I pray that you’ll find someone that can help you to let go and move on in your life . ❤

Low and behold the artery that feeds the left side of my body, the ones that come out the top of the heart, well it grew on the left side wrapped around behind and then goes up. A miracle!! He told me to go to my stomach Dr who found a precancerous polyp, hpilori, and some kind of metaplasia. He removed the polyp and three years later I was due for my next scope. Everything was gone!! Another miracle! I do have spinal problems and one is facet syndrome. Misplaced pain. I can itch my toe and it hurts in my shoulder.

[@drosalice]

Hello Lucas! I'm very pleased that I randomly fell on your video. I'm an ENT doctor and I found all these techniques very interesting. Especially about the Bramari, I'll suggest it to my patients, who have chronic rhinosinusitis. This chronic inflammation provokes the concentration of nitric acid inside the cavities. In addition, there's a poor ventilation of the cavities, and so these conditions create a vicious circle. Thanks again for the tips! Stay safe and healthy!

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Thank you Alice!

[@amurphful]

Lucas and Dr. Alice, to your knowledge, is the uvula test or Nostral cycle test based on science?

[@kazart4772]

To add a possibility to the CAUSES of rhinosinusitis, please look into Mast Cell disorders, Lectins, Histamine and Salicilate Intolerances. After 6 years of plugged sinuses, I used the Blood Type Diet app (Eat right for Your Type) by Peter D'Adamo and TOTALLY CLEARED MY SINUSES! Why? Coconut, Tapioca, Cassava and other foods are avoid Lectins for My blood type! Being dairy and gluten free, I had switched to consuming more of them. They are hidden in many foods also. Mast Cell people say if antihistamines are needed more than 3x in 1 YEAR, then look into a Mast Cell Disorder of some level. I DO agree that if one DOES get stuffed up as I do when I eat these food items, these yoga techniques DO WORK .

[@laurathompson4272]

@@amurphful I think he said yes it is! I know my daughter suffered with stress and autoimmune disease and hooked her up to a computer and did 3 cycles of yoga breath and after three cycles of breathing into the count of four and exhaling to the count of six the whole screen turned green because all the systems in our bodies relax if we do yoga breath.. I know thats not your exact question but he did say this was science based…

Wow, amazing tips! Thanks a lot. Tests for vagus nerve issues: 1. Put index finger below nose and breathe out through the nose 3 times. Check which nostril the air is flowing through more freely. 2. Check my small tongue (uvula) - if it is deviated to one side. 3. Interoception - close my eyes and check what's going on in my body. "Massage" the vagus nerve: 1. Mmmmmm x 10 times 2. Triangle breathing (4seconds breathe-in, 4seconds hold + close nose with my thumb, index finger and little finger + chin lock, 4seconds breathe-out) x 10 times 3. Ear massage (index finger inside the ear, thumb - on the back) - 5 circles in one direction, 5 circles in the opposite direction x 2 times (at least)

[@emmaw7853]

Awesome advice! As a medic for over 30 years, I’ve used vagal stimulation to slow heart rates on patients with supraventricular tachycardia…you must be careful NOT to over stimulate or have a known high vagal tone. I have also responded to folks that are dead on the toilet from straining to have a BM. I have also responded to cardiac arrests from what was described a “a coughing fit” by the family..agin overstimulation of the nerve. Be careful if you have high vagal tone!

we use air pressure first….deep breath and squeeze like a bowel movement next, we will try another breathing technique w a deep breath and pull the knees to the chest and squeeze w arms around the legs and a last resort for manual stimulation due to the possibility of arterial plaque being a possible cause of embolism..carotid massage, We also use the beta blocker Cardizem and Adenosine to correct the supraventricular tacycardias

Deb Dana was a lecturer at the university I attended here in Maine. She taught a trauma class in the school of Social Work while also running her group practice for survivors of - primarily - sexual abuse. From there, she moved to the lecture circuit locally and then nationally. I have always admired her and am in awe of how her teachings have traveled even to the content creator of this video. The last time I attended one of her workshops was about 8 years ago, but everything said in this video is spot on with what Deb teaches in her warm and kind way.

This is such a great video. To be able to fully express meaning of words and how it all connects without boring your audience is a great quality. Your personality, facial gestures and explaining with your hands and graphics on the screen is what's keeping my attention. I am a yoga instructor and am very informed on anxiety. I recently have learned about stimulating the vagus nerve with the vibration.. like singing or humming, but I never actually connected the fact that the long OHMs during meditation are also doing the same.. people can hear what's good for you and what you should do but it's never usually motivating until someone fully understands the reasons WHY behind it. Thank you so much, I'm definitely subscribing.

Hi Lucas. Thank so much for this.

It was so good. I didnt know what happened but it was great. I think it was this. I need this reset of the vagus nerve. It made a huge diference. Thank you again, greatings from Portugal

Wonderful point. Explains the peace felt by monks and nuns who sing and chant their prayers. Explains why listening and mentally singing along like with Gregorian is calming. Gives new perspective on chanting the Ommmm. Not attracted by techniques? Join a choir. Or sing to yourself. Best comment I’ve ever read on YT. Thanks and blessings.
