For anyone not getting the message here: he’s trying to tell you that moving your eyes side to side (or doing activities that involve this, such as walking or reading) during times of stress can not only reduce your stress levels but also make you more inclined to ‘face your fears’ in the future, as opposed to being paralyzed by your anxiety or avoidant of the thing that’s making you anxious/stressed. All the ‘talk’ is him explaining the neuroscience to you, establishing credibility as a trusted source in the process. The thumbnail was for everyone else who didn’t care for the lecture. 🤷‍♀️

[@SeverinLudwig]

​@@eggnogdelicious7719The problem about this video is he starts blabla about stuff and you dont know what his point is. For this reason in scientific papers at the start there always is an abstract. So even with a 1000 pages scientific research paper it takes me less than 1 minute to get what the paper is generally about. I invested 1 minute of my precious time in this video and still didnt have any clue what it was all about.

I was so into this stuff back in college and it totally works. Closing one of your nostrils while studying (I forgot which one). Making surprised expressions while studying so that my sympathetic nervous system considers what I learned as noteworthy and better commits it to memory. Tilting my head forward so that my eyes are pointed upwards so that I don't get sleepy. Yogic hoodoo voodoo shit; meditation, blinking fast or closing my eyes for the moments before I know I'm going to see something important.

Probably the left nostril should be closed to have more 'stress', or adrenaline, while the right one should be for getting more relaxed. That's why sleeping on your right side is best for sleep, it closes the right nostril.

I couldn’t eat, sleep, think...I couldn’t even go to the bathroom. It was that bad! After 9 months of weekly EMDR therapy, I am now a brand new person. No longer am I this angry person; my family has even noticed this. I tell whoever will listen my story. I still have the memories of the abuse I experienced, but the “sting” of those memories no longer haunt me. I AM FREE!

I experienced EMDR. I had a childhood trauma memory. My therapist began with her finger in the air. She asked me to follow her finger as it moved from one side to another. In the end we were able to reframe my memory. It genuinely wend from trauma memory to a positive loving memory. EMDR works. It really does.

[@TheArchanan5458]

If a person is considered unstable, EMDR would be considered dangerous because it could trap the person in that memory.

EMDR is a new type of therapy that involves moving your eyes around mostly from side to side while recounting painful experiences, and it somehow helps to neutralize the emotions. It makes me consider that perhaps watching the hypnotist’s pendulum actually has some merit to it.

[@annanicole1717]

Seems nutty

[@michaelmalzacher6018]

@@annanicole1717 it is nutty, and without all this research done on it- nobody would believe it actually has any physiological effect besides placebo. not to diss placebo, as plenty of people have cured themselves of tons of ailments- physical and mental, just by essentially placebo-ing themselves into believing that their effort in some domain is helping them. in double blind clinical studies, placebo is equally as effective as antidepressants for a reason- what you believe in, and want to happen, what you expect to happen, makes up a huge amount of your actual reality. you don't even need research to back something like hypnosis in order for hypnosis to work on you- but there's a ton of research on hypnosis now as of lately, and that only makes it easier for people to believe in it and essentially cure themselves. because real hypnosis isn't something someone does to you- it's a state of relaxation that you learn to use in order to control yourself better, real clinical hypnosis doesn't claim to make you do anything you wouldn't do normally, it's limits are defined by what an individual wants to achieve. i think once we realize that every single remedy's effect is at least half placebo, it actually gives you power over your own emotions, rather than stripping you of it. when you know that something should work based on science, it becomes easier to believe that it's going to fix you- but most of that is you fixing yourself by the work you put in, not just the medication or therapy. close-knit tribes who would go through hell just to gather and create "potions" and herbal remedies for loved ones has been researched and actually works, regardless of the content of the potions- they're called "sympathetic" remedies and "homeopathic" remedies. homeopathic means giving your body and mind the nutrients and tools it needs to heal itself, and it requires a good amount of faith in those people it actually works for. i know it's easy to roll your eyes at the idea of faith, but it's a great tool, and goes beyond religion and belief systems.

Anecdotally, I know that whenever I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I stop whatever I’m doing, close my eyes and start looking from side to side without moving my head (with my eyes closed). No one ever told me to do this or taught me that. It’s just something I started doing and it does seem to calm me down “recenter me” pretty dramatically. I guess there is some science to it!

[@SusanaATX]

It's so amazing that your body spontaneously discovered this strategy on its own to help calm you. I love the wisdom of the body

[@laughingwolf330]

That's so awesome!! I remember learning years ago about the NLP eye directions & their associations (in relation to recalling an event) - something about recall vs invention, and sound/smell vs sight/touch. Those were all associated with the corners of vision however; it sorta makes sense that the horizontal axis is more related to present experience and less to memory, physically speaking as well! I'm definitely going to incorporate this into my own grounding practice. I never thought about it, but the times that I am visualizing and 'looking' side to side, vs up and down, are the times I feel most calm and aware, almost out of body in connection with the spaciousness.

I might add, the lateral eye movement tells the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) that if there is time to do this, there isn't a threat. If one were escaping a bear for instance, eyes are forward and you flee! We find a similar correlation with breath work. Extending the exhale tells the ANS that if we have the time to slow our breathing, there must not be a threat. We essentially have to "trip the circuit" of the sympathetic ANS to calm down by presenting a relaxed modality through breath or eye movement to self-regulate. I work with clients by introducing tremors i/e shaking.

It’s a new technique, I know it’s based on neuroscience but I don’t understand the exact science of why the blinking works!! Keep up the fantastic work spreading awareness.

[@healingforgood444]

Blinking is like hitting the reset button on the brain. I use it after the lateral movements, then deep breaths.

[@alisonbamford6723]

It may actually be a distraction technique. I thought about my mother dying & then tried blinking rapidly & my focus changed to concentrating on that rather than thinking about my mother. It took me out of the memory. We have a friend who periodically develops a weird facial palsy - not the type where her face drops, but where the muscles pull up into a kind of grimace. If she touches her fingers to her thumb in turn, the muscles in her face will relax to normal, but then pull up again when she stops. It’s like it works normally when she is distracted by something else, but then reverts back to the tight, stressed position when not distracted.

Psychotherapists are bound to protect your confidentiality. That's harder to do out in the environment.

[@OurMagicalNature]

Walking therapy actually is a thing :) It's often combined with nature therapy such as forest bathing. It's talking and walking at the same time and sometimes stopping to observe things in the surroundings. For example two paths in a forest can symbolize two major life paths a person has to choose from. It's pretty interesting and I think it's gaining popularity since walking is a good way to release tension as a result of talking about problems.

I can’t support the point, to do strenuous activities when you feel stressed and your nervous system is highly alerted. Exercise is just another form of stress on the body, so working out, when you’re already at your limit can be pretty dangerous and can lead to chronic fatigue for e.g. i don’t wanna cause panic, but educate, as the exact thing happened to me. Going for a gentle walk, doing yoga or even meditate works even better in a healthier fashion for your system to rebalance :)

So, this is interesting because pilots are taught never to stare/focus continuously on a target. Rather they should always keep a continuous scan going. This allows the pilot to avoid, “target fixation.” Fixating on a target actually increases the chances of a pilot colliding with something they are trying to avoid. This is not only attributable to pilots but anyone operating vehicles, especially at high speed. While this is not exactly what the author is talking about in the video, I believe they are related.

Learned this when I started riding a bike after many years. I would focus on something I did not want to run over such as a small rock and I would hit it every time. I learned to focus on where I wanted to go not where I did not want to go and problem solved. Good life lesson!

Then I tried avoiding a tree while looking at it, and yep, that lesson was really short and memorable. Good thing I wasn't going fast. Since then I've applied it to walking, running, cycling, grocery shopping, driving, even transfered it into daily life like chores and work: focusing on the possible way around rather than the obstacle. It really does something different with my perception of the surroundings.

From an EMDR trained therapist, moving your eyes side-to-side or engaging in bilateral stimulation allows the emotion center in your brain to connect with the language part of your brain, so this method is actually used in PTSD treatment. Bilateral stimulation is also a natural process that you engage in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep which is where you primarily dream.

As recently as today, I found myself getting out of my car, and visually scanning the parking lot left and right with my eyes, looking for threats. When he said "forward confrontation" in this video, I knew exactly what he was talking about. It's all about knowing what's in the immediate environment that's a threat, so you can track it, and if need be, move on it.

@@blueskies1177 It would be a valuable trait for a hunter, early human, to be able to suppress the amygdala while searching or scanning until spotting prey or predator.

An old Sufi trick is to focus on anything physical at times of great mental stress. In other words, to recreate this eye movement without moving your eyes, just focus on the ring on your finger, or just your finger. Imagine a camera out of focus, and then focussed. The fact that you are snapping to something physical is what gives the gratification, not the lateral eye movement itself.

Makes so much sense. Trained in Martial Arts for Years. One concept taught in more aggressive arts like Muay Thai , is learning to move in to threats. If I constantly move away I miss opportunities to counter and stop the threat sooner than if I move in and either center or clinch. Once I got into bjj it went even deeper as sticking to your threat like glue and applying your own pressure is key for success. I noticed in my 30s now that the mindset alone of moving forward is sometimes enough to keep me at ease in stressful moments.

Even during the times when we face danger and feel paralyzed (some of my clients tell me that this happens to them especially during job interviews) this is a good way to free yourself from that state.

The fact that he mentioned Somatic therapies (Somatic Experiencing) for trauma just made my respect for his work triple. That's HUGE. We have 50 years of development in understanding trauma and healing. This would be a staple of life by the time I was born if people had good values.

Great info. This will help. Weather you know or not you are in high beta state or stressed . So please do this . 1)In between work take some time to close eyes for 30 seconds and take deep breath 5 times(Pranyam). 2)Try to listen to calm music instrumental or old classical avoid noisy music . 3)Ensure that frontal cortex has more control then Amygdala and you do this by positive thinking,positive view and modifying what scares you to something good . 4) Don't listen too much NEWS and please don't stick to social media a lot. 5)Try to move away from gadgets .

Had a co-worker years ago who suffered from anxiety and had difficulty falling asleep. Her therapist told her to breathe slowly but deeply, close her eyes and move them laterally and quickly. Evidently, those eye movements mimic REM in sleep and help a person get to sleep. Worked for her, she slept much better. Works for me too on the odd occasion when I’m having difficulty sleeping. I love these kinds of videos when I get to learn something interesting and helpful. Thanks for posting! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

EMDR helped me a LOT with my depression recovery

[@bunsmom]

I used EMDR after Lyrica gave me brain damage. I went 18 months with no improvement in the brain damage but with just 3 weeks of using EMDR (focus on music only) my doctor was shocked at what it difference it made with my mind. I could for the first time in 218 months understand and retain what he was talking about. I stumbled onto EMDR and was never told to use it.

[@SolidSiren]

How did Lyrica give you brain damage? what type of damage? Did you have serotonin syndrome?

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

EMDR changed my 9 year son from a anxious and angry boy into a calm child - after several traumatic events in his young life. It was night and day. One EMDR session. BOOM. It came after several sessions of discovery to get to that one EMDR session though. Well worth it.

[@markussdzintars3456]

So that's why jogging for me is the best therapy, have forgiven many wrong doings, and let go of many heart aches during an evening jog

It's not just the eye movements, it's the bilateral stimulus of jogging too, that is the tapping of your feet on the ground. You could even tap your hands on your knees and it would cause a similar effect, albeit without being out of breath. Not that this is a bad thing.

So interesting! This is what you're told to do during sleep paralysis awareness. Makes so much sense now, knowing that this movement means you are moving forward (and not actually paralyzed). I was amazed that my eyes were the only thing I could move when this happened and moving them side to side, allowed me to wake up, for real.

My therapist told me the lateral eye movements in EMDR replicate what we do in REM sleep, the portion of sleep where we process memories and decide what goes in long term memory or not. Therefore when we do the eye movements we can reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer bother us.

But you have to move whilst moving your eyes left and right constantly otherwise you'll get scared of impending oncoming doom because amygdala will project da ger ahead unless you do your rapid eye movement left and right whilst moving. This is why texting and walking is bad because you bump into people because you weren't looking left and right whilst moving. Now your more scared than when u started moving.

[@DevineEscapes]

Does anyone else remember Carlos Castaneda doing this? He called it "recapitulation". As my memory has it, it involved recollecting an event from your life and moving your eyes all the way from right to left than right again, removing energetic attachments.

[@michelem2119]

Recapitulation is mentioned on the "Eagles Gift"but it's the head that moves, not the eyes. It might have a similar effect though? Well spotted DevineEscapes. "The actual recapitulation of the event requires that one breathe deeply, fanning the head, so to speak, very slowly and gently from side to side, beginning on one side, left or right, whichever. This fanning of the head was done as many times as needed, while remembering all the details accessible. Don Juan said that sorcerers talked about this act as breathing in all of one's own feelings spent in the event being recollected, and expelling all the unwanted moods and extraneous feelings that were left with us."www.uazone.org/naph/ccarlos/books/cc10/tensegrity62.html

[@DarkMoonDroid]

@@michelem2119 Thanks you guys for this! I will listen to that audiobook next!!

[@mytuube11]

interesting, he was a fraud tho, and made those books up

[@Sharklee4]

Actually Castaneda's cohort Taisha Abalar wrote a book that goes into much more detail about the recapitulation. "The Sorcerer's Crossing". The seers understood that the left and right sides of the body operated in such different ways as to belong to separate worlds. Similar to the way neurologists view the hemispheres of the brain except that the seers de-emphasize the significance of the brain and focus on the body itself. The right side deals with inventories, counting, mathematics, and rote information while the left side is vast and unfathomable. They properly organize and separate these left and right worlds of perceiving and interpreting the world. They had a wealth of exercises that alternated left and right including various walking exercises that when practiced could induce a sizzling dark shadow in front of the body, "The crack between the worlds". Don Juan called the time of twilight "the crack between the worlds", the light of day belonged to the right body while the night belonged to the left. Interestingly I live in the same coastal community that Francine Shapiro of EMDR lived. I saw a painting she did in the local art class that my dad also attended. It was of a meditating figure on the coastal buff at twilight. Above the horizon was a curtain parted by an unseen hand. The dark colors of the painting contrasted sharply by the shear white beyond the veil. In my mind I titled it "Twilight is the Crack Between the Worlds"

[@waltrohrbach2459]

Right, i was thinking of that. He was advised to do lateral eye or head movements while visualizing events of his personal past to process and let go of them. I do believe though that this is old knowledge, CC adapted and picked up on a lot of things, (not a bad thing). And i am certain, that the scientist picked up on that too, so no science discovery at all, except for the hypothetical explanation. p.s. CC certainly was dubious in hindsight, but that does not devalue his work per se, no it was not all made up, but certainly lots of it freely adapted, from many traditions. p.p.s. Maybe a perfect example of "erasing personal history", the critical dismantling of CC by himself..(kidding)

In a nutshell for the EMDR, buy a long knitting needle at the thrift store, paint the tip red and then when you are stressed or suffering simply wave the red tip back and forth, laterally, in front of your eyes and follow it with your eyes while you are experiencing the negative thoughts and feelings. Your trauma should diminish each time you do it to the point it no longer negatively effects your life.

[@dealightful5745]

This is a really great idea! Also a metronome is a good for that matter but you need to bring it closer to your eyes for the more in depth movement of eyes, it helps even more as you don’t need to concentrate on holding the object. However, consulting a therapist is most advisable, as there’s a particular procedure for achieving the best and long lasting results, especially in severe PTSD & CPTSD.
