Brain Retraining Limbic System Healing Practice Rounds 

so glad to hear you are doing well!

How bad was your mcs and are you totally healed now

Glad to hear that you healed! Could you please tell me what the DNRS course entails? I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere. Is it essentially visualizations like the one in this video? Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing! When you first started, how much time did you alot to DNRS on a daily basis? I'm doing the program now and they're saying one hour - is that what you did ?

I enjoyed this very much. Which brain retraining program is effective for fatigue?

so amazing to hear!

Can u please share?

I’m so sorry I am working to grow my followers because once I grow large enough to get monetized I will have control to move the ads to beginning so they don’t cause this issue :(

So glad it helped!

Fibromyalgie is caused by SIBO SIFO or parasites

Thanks! Here is another practice sequence I recently uploaded ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hn7VhmpgWGg.html

Awesome I will work on more of those! Been trying to offer some videos of walks around my farm to help those who can't really get out too!

This is sooo helpful. One of my struggles is to create scripts. Maybe is due to the brain fog. Please post more like this. Much love to all on this journey of Healing these symptoms. We can do this. 💕

Full recovery from?

I was diagnosed with Lyme and very high mercury toxicity but I really believe the root of everything is chronic fatigue syndrome after everything I’ve learned in the past three years

​@@chaseoklahoma7267how are you doing now?

I’ll follow you!

I appreciate that!

Yes it’s super frustrating. I don’t have a large enough channel for RU-vid to give me control over ad placements :( Working on growing my channel so I can move all ads to end of videos!

Thanks!

Omg I’m so sorry. I didn’t even know they put ads on these. God knows I’m not monetized yet lol.

yes I believe consistent limbic system practices and mindfulness can help calm limbic system dysregulation

It depends on what that resistance feels like, you can just gently open your eyes for a few minutes to feel safe and grounded again, or you can work on drawing what you want your visualization to look like some people are triggered by having their eyes closed, so trying to work around that discomfort in small increments.

I am so sorry, I am working on that. RU-vid only allows creators with more than 4000 watch hours to control their own ads... I am hoping to get there soon!

DNRS involves learning the basics about the limbic system & how it can overreact to stimuli in order to protect you. Retraining involves ideally doing practice rounds for 1 hour a day for 6 months (unless you heal quicker). These rounds help us to let go of old thoughts & behaviors that no longer serve us. The rounds involve some visualization, and use positive memories & affirmations that aim to calm the limbic system so it no longer overreacts to certain stimuli. Maybe this will help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gsERY5rV1W8.html

a lot of people have used brain retraining to help with POTS for sure... it was huge in my own pots healing journey:)

I think there's a lot of moving pieces.... I would do rounds every day, plus other limbic healing practices like yoga, breath work, time in nature, connecting with healthy environments. Then I would also work around foods that are safe and making eating a safe and happy time. Then I would consult with an allergist or immunologist to make sure you can create a list of safe foods to challenge and work your way up from there.

I am actually preparing to launch my own online course which will contain theses types of meditations, but I will also continue to upload more of these similar short versions for free on RU-vid . psyche-soma-sol.thinkific.com/

yes, I often do this. I think the initial standards are in place to set a good theme, but if you feel safer it may be more trauma informed with eyes open... or I also just posted a video where I use my own background to make it easier to visualize yourself there

I do have a program the link is on my page as well

starting with tools like breath work, grounding, things to make you feel safer in the present moment

Yes no worries at all! I would say yes! the more rounds the better! I have used rounds to help with temperature sensitivity, emotional reactions, etc! I do a lot of rounds quietly in my head actually or even writing them down the reading, or recording them and playing them back to me later if I have brain fog. I also think it is good to avoid symptoms focused talks or groups for sure!

I often skip past memories and focus only on future healing. I really think its trial and error. when we look at trauma based care it might make more sense to focus on the future instead.

I can try to figure out how to add them!

I dont have a script, with my own symptoms I find it hard to type out captions, I apologize. does RU-vid do the automated captions for this one?

@@happyandfreehealing I copied and pasted the transcript into a document for myself and inserted punctuation where I heard your breaks/etc. Could I post that here to help Shandy and others? Or I could send it to you and you could post it. I only transcribed the actual loop...not the words before or the words after.

wow you are so amazing! if you could post it that would be amazing! if it doesn't let you post something that long I can give you my email.

@@happyandfreehealing So we'll start by just sitting up nice and tall, closing our eyes and just taking some deep breaths. Let's ground ourselves in the present moment. Just establishing a sense of peace and safety, feeling nice and secure here in the moment. Deep breath in ...and deep breath out. You can keep your eyes closed if it's comfortable or open them if we want to engage in some journaling or drawing during our rounds. So, first we'll take a moment, if we're having any sort of symptoms, just to tell ourselves it's okay to stop this overreaction of our nervous system. Take a step back and we'll look at our brain and our mind and our body as working together, but having distinct and separate parts. So, let's take a moment and say, “Limbic system it's okay to take a break, it's okay to rest. You are overreacting to these stimuli that are not harmful. But, I understand that you're reacting this way because of trauma. You're reacting this way because in the past we did have experiences that we had to react in this way to protect ourselves, but now we keep falling into that same pattern over and over and it's not helping anymore. It's actually hurting.” So, I give myself permission, I give my nervous system and my limbic system permission, to stop and to calm down and to take a rest. We might want to envision here,our limbic system like someone at the control room that sets the alarm off when something goes wrong, and telling that person “turn that alarm off. Everything is safe we can rest. Go take a break, there's nothing else to be hyper vigilant about. Deep breath and calm down. We are safe”. But at the same time, “Thank you body,mind, brain, spirit for working so hard to protect me. I know that you've worked so hard we've put so much effort into this into trying to feel safe and protect ourselves and figure out symptoms, but we don't have to do that right now. We are working on healing and we are at a place that we are healing every single day, and that healing energy is coming to us we don't have to strive for it anymore. So... again, take a breath and sit back, relax. Nervous system you can turn from fight or flight mode over into rest and digest. You can enjoy life again.” Take some time think about what it will feel like when you are completely healed because we are getting there every day one step at a time. And we're gonna put ourselves into that state right now. So again, maybe closing our eyes and envisioning a time and a place where we are totally healthy and healed. And so for today, we're going to use the example of walking down the beach. So, we're on a beautiful vacation because our symptoms have calmed down. Our nervous system reaction to these stimuli has calmed down so we were able to take that car ride or that airplane ride. We were able to get to the beach and stay in a hotel, and we are there and we are walking on the beach and we're not thinking of symptoms. We're thinking about the feeling of the sand on our toes, dipping our toes in the water, listening to the waves crashing on the shore, feeling energized. I feel vibrant, I feel grateful, I feel calm. I know that I have the energy to do anything that I want to do on this vacation, that I'm envisioning happening. I look ahead at the beach and I know that I want to just run down the beach to the very end and watch the sun rise. And then I know I'll be fine to come back because my body is healed and it can do anything that I need it to do. I smell these beautiful smells all around me. Different tropical smells or the smell of the sand and the salt maybe the smell of sunscreen and none of it's bothering me because my nervous system is healed, so it does not interpret any of these stimuli is dangerous. It only takes things in and is able to address them for what they are which is neutral stimuli. Because I am healed in such a way that I feel healthy and my limbic system my amygdala no longer overreacts to any stimuli. I can move as much as I want, I can eat whatever I want. I can be around the sights and smells and sensations and bright lights and noises and none of it bothers me. Because I feel so inherently, intrinsically safe that I am just so relaxed in this vacation mode, in this visualization. So I would take a few moments and just really be in that moment maybe close your eyes and again just visualize and feel the sensation - walking, one foot in front of the other grounding in the sand, hearing the waves, smelling the ocean, feeling the sunlight and the breeze on your face, listening to the sounds around you. And then realizing- I am healing. I am getting there. Everything that I need, I can work on within myself. Healing my brain, healing my nervous system and whatever else I'm doing that is working on healing my body and my symptoms. I will get to this place with complete and utter certainty and confidence. I'm getting there every day. Deep breath in, and deep breath out, with our hands to our heart center, just taking a moment to set that intention - that I am healing, I am safe, I am loved, I am peace.

@@happyandfreehealing Done :) Please let me know if I need to adjust anything. I copied and pasted the transcript from your video, but had to kindof assume some punctuation because there is none in the transcript. lol

I would say I'm 75% healed from MCS using brain retraining and holistic tools. I still react when under stress and also depending on the severity of the environment.

Yes for sure! Shoot me a message.

It’s definitely hard to reframe self talk. The intention is to think about how you want to be able to talk to yourself as you’re healing, and if we keep using self limiting language, it’s harder to rewire the brain to heal. But I also totally understand how it feels really counterintuitive and you are definitely welcome to change the wording so for example, you could say I am feeling safer to challenge myself, or I am attempting something new with hope that my body can handle the stressors

@@happyandfreehealing yeah graduation

Exactly. Slowly working up towards the goal ❤

Yes, I definitely have talked with people who found limbic system retraining to help with any sort of hyper sensitivity issues

How long should I do it before I see results

Also are there more exercises I should incorporate

breath work, mindfulness, positive affirmations... it will all help over time

In the beginning I did them all out loud like DNRS recommended and even tried to walk around in the pattern they suggest. But it was pretty exhausting for me and I found that doing them in my head actually made it more successful because I could just do random cycles during the day as soon as I notice symptoms come up no matter where I am, even at work or in the car with others, etc.

@@happyandfreehealing May I ask what is the walking pattern suggested? Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply.

In DNRS they include a little map with a diagram to show where you are supposed to walk and step in place to note when you are talking versus your higher self talking to your limbic system and then another step to do visualizations. I honestly did it that way a few times but mostly I find myself doing my rounds in my own head sitting or driving or laying down.

Thank you! It’s such a gentle approach. Not as structured and rigid , more personalized. I like to do the rounds in my head,silently, I can feel my emotions stronger this way. I like also the fact that it doesn’t require exactly 1 hour. I am a perfectionist, and not doing the transcript exactly like it was required, made me feel like I was doing it wrong , and caused additional anxiety. In visualization, I have just some safe relaxing places where I like to go, and I go there over and over again( not many places).

My course and library is only $264…I am wondering if you’re confusing me with another coach? I am a fully licensed therapist, yoga therapist and have literally 15+ years of training and experience that I talk about in a lot of my other videos as well. Hopefully this helps.

glad it helped!
