Fabulous 🩵
❤ perfect
Thank you 🙏
Juicy stuff. Love it, Luis,
What you said about cults hit like a brick. I never knew about co-dysregulation before. Thank you.
Being dehumanized and coming through that .... i can relate... the strength there is great.... Thank you for sharing the practice here ❤
I Love the clarity here ❤ I so want to be able to remember this practice in these moments when my daughter goes through this violent internal crises and throws hateful hurtful comments at me because she s is so much pain she wants me to carry some of that pain with her.... but then everything goes so fast inward all the wisdom in me is put aside not to be seen... in that moment my ADHD mind is trying so hard to sort it all out then it ends up becoming messy withing my body and mind. I feel destabilized until she calms down or I run off and I leave her behind, alone in that house or in the car that seems like it is caught on fire, where she s unable to move, and she feels abandoned and keeps replaying that "i m abandoned" tape in her head over and over again, even after the whole scenario where she s in the house on fire traped, entirely disappears.... In the moment I have no clarity and I have to distanciate myself from this type of situation regroup and do this practice you mentioned and I feel grounded and calm again it s slow enough in me that I can see clearer that I have compassion for me and for her.... I pray and just wish I could stand next to her while she s goes through these inner violent episodes and let her move through while remaining this pilar and take a break find myself alone regroup and we start over again but I m not there just yet.....
Spot on, thanks very much 😅
Well explained! Props to Peter Levine, but this video makes it clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much Luis. Excellent, brillant as always. I listened to this several times. Life changer. Deep. Exercise starts at 12:50.
Hi Luis, I just wanted to say this was POWERFUL 🫶 I only watched this an hour ago and I can already see how often I immediately orient myself to anything outside of myself and go into fawn. My inner monologue goes into conversation about what I’d say to what person to get them to understand me, usually completely losing myself. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone articulate this experience from the inside quite so perfectly for me before. I was also bullied for decades and it has continued in my adult life but so much of it is that orienting myself to the other external experience and rejecting my own inner one. I am going to practice when I’m in the world today coming back to me, and have a photo of a plant at home I love with me now so I can anchor with that. Not something I’d usually share on a public platform but it really did create a shift within me. ✨🙏🏼
Wow! That practice was so helpful in understanding how to deal when any negativity is offered to us. Can’t tell you how relived I feel and I’m sure a lot of people will feel to have these tools. So grateful you shared this for free. You rock!
Many thanks for this, Luis. I have a possible question for your podcast. Quite often I wake up with adrenaline pricks in my hands. I’m not aware of having had a bad dream and wonder if the body stores adrenaline and releases it over time as safety and regulation become more established. I’ve been on your quiet diet since the Spring course and regularly experience releases of fear and grief using the somatic practices.
Great question ❓ I have delt with same with this past week 😮😅
Thank you so much for this!! It speaks to me.
Somatic empathy: our body feels what we see. Love this. So glad I have come across your presentation of this topic. I feel at ease watching you.
Trauma response: fight flight freeze fawn. Got it. Thanks
Our sex is determined by biology. No matter what hormones or surgery people have, you are still the sex you are born in
What a load of *beep is he high ? It s dissociation ....all teenagers fell uncomfortable about their bodies ...intersex is on it s own ....u are what you are biologically ... Sounds like he runs a hippy camp for ideological confusion .
Oh, Quinn. To hear you come into spirituality through connections (within your identity and your relationships with others) is so beautiful!
Great episode. Gives food for thought.
Love this reflection and sharing ❤
Looking forward to learning more about this path towards authenticity.
I did have to laugh😂❤

Wow thank you 🎉
I always seem to tune in to your videos right when I need affirmation and support. I actually need to hear that it's good to respond authenticly. I have been asked "What kind of drugs are you using?" as a way to to purposely invalidate my response. I have been told I am naive for being "open" about my feelings and that I should just go along with the flow or the group, try to fit in more. I can't do it. This is really helpful and supportive because I start to feel like such an outsider.
5-minute rituals are so profoundly helpful in this age of distraction. It's like a gateway drug into deep soul-care. I can't wait to try this oil. It sounds beautiful..
Yes, part 2, please 🤗
@shelbylaneboyyy ❤
You have both just made more sense of the 'doctors' in Japan who heal people with stage 4 cancer (one example) by looking at the person and only seeing their fullness..their well-being etc..and the person heals (My reference for it was one of Gregg Brayden's videos years ago) I enjoyed this conversation very much ❤🙏🏾❤️
I listen to almost all of your podcasts and I think this was my favorite one of all time, the joy, humor, and relational connection between the two of you brought me so many smiles, laughs, and comfort. I vote for more podcasts with you and Aemen!!! You always speak to more of them when you do them and a 2 years gap is just way too long!!! Thank you for this episode
It s so lovely listening to this podcast ….thanks for sharing
Sweet and beautiful and fun! Thank you for sharing this conversation
❤
Yes, very much needed education in these times. 💚
Months ago i started doing one of your suggestions of putting a timer on for 15 mins and did it for ages..then somehow i stopped..alarm is back on now THANK YOU you truely are a gem sharing what you share
I am grateful for you. On Wednesday I felt hate for half of America, including many of my family members. I am not one to feel hate, and I did not like it. Thank you for this alternative.
Amazing Luis, thank you so much for this. 🥰
Super helpful. Thank you.
for my it's another way freeze - is with muscle tension, collapse/faint - I literally fall down with no conscious after fawn (and it's way to get all the sensor data around (people emotions, sounds, movements ect, because I read the enviroment to get safety), because of overwhelming, it's the reset of nervous system, and it's Sequence of fawn, or fawn+freeze same Pete Wakler says in his cPTSD book, faint as result of mentioned response
Beautiful. When I listen to this and try to slow down all I want to do is cry.
Loved this episode! Thank you both
Great info, can’t get enough of it & I loved this for the gazelle ❤
Luis I have been away from your channel for a while now . I think I found you through Caroline Elliot and joining that group actually made me turn from that and become a follower of Christ so I wanted to move away from everything associated with that. Coming back to you I see such a shift on you and your newer videos . I feel aligned again to be here and so thankful for you 💕
Thanks, great info. I eat soaked flax & chia with berries, fruit, raw, walnuts, pecans/hazelnuts, olive oil and raw chocolate powder or nut butter - with or without yogurt. It completely satiates my cravings. Sounds complex but only takes a minute to prepare if the seeds are soaked from the night before.
Wonderful interview ❤
Luis..please talk to another financial advisor..so many will say that you cant invest in ethical or environmentally friendly funds but its not true..its just that they dont..or that they havent done the research. I now have a financial advisor and he works for a big company and apparently I was the very first person to request ethical and environmental companies to invest in..he did his research (which he was excited about) and im now investing with Australian Ethical.
