Crucial practice throughout the entire process - Long Covid/ CFS recovery 

Just feel what comes up now! Im making a video about this soon.

Try to feel into the resistance, allow it and feel it. Try to observe how the mind is fighting to get your attention and resisting this experience. The moments where you almost lose hope are the most valuable. It is an invitation to surrender, to completely fee the helplessness, the fact that you are not in control, existential fear etc. This can be intense, but try to let go and feel into losing hope the next time. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your answer! What generally happens is that I have a good cry, I say out loud everything that comes to my mind, and then I feel a bit better. I don’t know if it’s the right way to do it but for now it’s what my body does spontaneously, so I go with it.

I mostly used meditations from the waking up app, (I particularly loved the ones of adyashanti, a few can also be found on youtube), Angelo Dilullos meditations on the youtube channel: Simply always awake and his app: simply awake and the guided meditations of LifewithKyle. I also heard good thing about guided somatic tracking from Howard schubiner and I made one myself not so long ago.

Thank you so much for the recs! It’s useful sometimes to combine one’s own practice with guided practices. I’ve been using Kyle’s and your own, and I’ve loved the somatic tracking exercises I’ve found on Insight Timer but I’ve yet to find many in the style you speak about, hence my question - so thanks again!

Jim Prussack, Tanner Murtagh, Yonit Arthur have great somatic tracking resources too

Yes, kind of taking a step back if you can, sit for a while, disengage from talking for example, pay attention on your internal experience and feel everything, accept, tell yourself you are safe and it is OK. And then also a part of surrender, just let all the sensations come over you, don't resist them.

Feel the resistance, then allow the resistance too. Accept all your feelings. Even resistance. I know, im confused too. Goodluck.

Feel the resistance. And be neutral or indifferent to it. Let it be, no judgment to the feeling. That's how you want to feel in to it

I can only speak on my journey so far. I used to track steps, heart rate, HRV and sleep. I decided one day it was counter productive for me. I took off my watch and my HRV monitor and I have improved a lot since making that decision. I have found pacing intuitively is the best way for me. How do I feel right now? On a scale of 1-10. If I'm at a 5 or power. I'll do the activity I want. If I'm above that I'll do general daily activities. Then I'll only lay in bed and try to full relax if I'm at like a 8-9/10. I hope this helps. I used to be bedbound with ear plugs and all the rest. I now walk my dog every day, do the groceries, cook for my family, clean and enjoy spending time doing hobbies.

I agree with Anthony, once I stopped tracking everything, I improved a lot. Very counterproductive for me.
