Great !!!
Thank you so much for this! It was such a needed reminder for me right now. Great advice!
Love this Matt, it's been helping me loads 🙌
Thank you man, this really helps. Keep on going with your videos.🙏
How refreshing to hear this. I totally agree about the need to acknowledge there were emotional repression issues in my life before this CFS arrived. I have had a major shift since I started feeling my emotions & can now see this condition is a gift. Thank you for your videos 🙏💕
Completely agree with the critical point on the current brain retraining approach.
It's still a bit trial and error but I am definitely changing the mindset for the better every week. Will get there in the end
Thank you!
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Hey Matt! Did you use guided somatic meditations and if so, do you have any you’d recommend, on Insight Timer for example, or TH-cam?
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
I also agree with the emotional repression. Do you have to dig for old trauma? Or just feel what comes up in the now?
Just feel what comes up now! Im making a video about this soon.
Hi! There’s a lot about energy management and pacing in cfs community, which makes me always trying to control how much energy I’m using, and how much is left, and that PEM is coming… did you do any pacing while recovering?
Hi Matt, do you have any tips for when these sensations get intense when you're out and about or when you're in the midst of a social activity with others?
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.
I’ve been trying to do this but the mind is resisting so much.
It looks like there is so much joy and peace of mind on the other side of this illness... I hope I can get there too, progress is so incredibly slow… sometimes I just loose hope.
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.
What do you think about monitoring the heart rate in terms of pacing? For me, it creates so much more fear and I have difficulties when I’m feeling a faster heart beat. Can I treat it like any other symptom or is it more “important” because we are told that there is a certain range which we should stay in to avoid a crash?
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.

explain how you can feel resistance without pushing it away. Is that not the same as just resisting? It feels confusing
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
Long vaccine
A lot of people with long covid are not vaccinated!
