Intro to Limbic System Retraining Exercises | re-origin.com

- Limbic system retraining refers to any exercises aimed to restore proper function to the limbic system. More often than not, for those struggling with a chronic health condition, the limbic system has been reset to default to a heightened state of arousal and anxiety. This leads to hyper-sensitization and increased levels of immune activity and inflammation.

In such cases, the goal of any limbic system retraining exercise program should be to systematically desensitize the limbic system with respect to the triggering stimuli. This is all possible thanks to neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s innate ability to change both its structure and its function in response to new activity and information. If you’ve ever gone from not knowing how to ride a bike, and then being able to find your balance and ride… you’ve used neuroplasticity. If you once were afraid to fly, and now you love jet-setting off to different places… you’ve used neuroplasticity. Every time a new habit, routine or skill is acquired, the brain has changed accordingly.
When it comes to rewiring the stress response, there are a small handful of basic principles that make up good limbic retraining exercises.
5 Key characteristics of limbic system retraining exercises
The process of improving brain function by building new beneficial neural pathways is made possible thanks to brain plasticity. Just like a muscle can respond to training, so too can the limbic system change with the help of deliberate brain retraining or ‘rewiring’ exercises. However, not all exercises are created equally. For anyone looking to overcome a heightened threat reflex, the following elements must be included in an effective brain retraining program:
Identification
The person must become aware of the heightened stress response, what triggers it, and how it feels in the body and mind.
Interruption
The limbic retraining exercise should prompt the individual to interrupt the vicious cycle of reacting to symptoms. This is typically done through a combination of body language, somatosensory mapping, and NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programing to rewrite any old mental scripts or trauma loops
Elevated Emotion
The person must learn to shift their brain chemistry from CAN (Cortisol, Adrenaline, Neurepinephrine) dominant to DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins) dominant. This is typically done through mental rehearsal and/or allowing oneself to become immersed in a positive and pleasant sensory experience. Listening to music, dancing, visualizing health, and walking in nature are all good options.
Somatic Experience
It isn’t enough to simply intellectually understand this process in the cortex. Rather, an emotional shift must be felt in one’s body. It is for this reason that such sayings as: “Lose your mind, come to your senses” can be helpful to employ.
Intrinsic Reward
The process of identifying, interrupting, and replacing an old unpleasant experience or response with a new positive one, eventually becomes its own reward and thus triggers the release of dopamine with respect to the act of improving one’s brain through limbic retraining exercises. It becomes easier and easier to maintain motivation, and results beget further results.
Repetition, repetition, repetition
Bruce Lee once said: “I don’t fear the man who practiced 10,000 different kicks. I fear the man who practiced 1 kick, 10,000 times.” - A core principle of any effective brain rewiring program is repetition. If permanent change is the goal then it must be understood that, just like going to the gym, the brain and body do not change in any meaningful way based on what is done once or twice. Rather, it’s what you do repeatedly that leads to lasting change.

I’m currently 5.5 months in to DNRS. I fully believe neuroplasticity is the key to healing many things. It’s not easy to retrain the brain, in my experience, but I know it will be worth the effort.
Yes, brain retraining is incredibly powerful! And we all have the ability to improve how our brain and body function! Congratulation on your journey.
@@re_origin thank you 😊
@@karenduey9675 is it working
@@sandramedina9482 Yes I’m seeing gradual shifts. I just completed the 6 month commitment to do the DNRS training program. Now I’m implementing the things I’ve learned and other things I’m learning to get me the rest of the way. I still have a ways to go but I believe I’m on the right track. For me, the 6 months gave me a good start, but I’ll keep Retraining until I’m completely well!!
Was there any improvement from that program?
Hey Ben,
Delfino here from Mexico 🇲🇽, great video content.
I can't wait for the introduction info zoom call tomorrow!
I love the fact that you did not edit this video.
We truly appreciate this.
Thank you.
This is so good, thank you for introducing this topic. Hope to see more videos from you in the future
25+ years of “manageable” hyper vigilance and CFS here, until the total crash. Videos like this are very helpful and I’ll be (kindly) giving it my all 👍. Looking forward to more content. Thank you 🙏
And very well presented!
@@rndm4642 Thanks for your kind comment. We are glad you enjoyed the video. We have more like it on re-origin.com/free-trial/
❤thanks great material. Simple and effective.
Great video very well explained 👍🏼
One month into DNRSand it probably saved me from the Looney bin. Thanks so much for your sharing of this information
Love this content, came over through Raelen and really happy heard about your info. Thankyou 🙏🏻💛
Great. Glad you find our content informative.
Thank you ❤
Great video! Thank you!!!
Just started DNRS. Trying to get motivated to keep doing it! Take so much commitment. I'm hoping to get help for my anxiety and lasting symptoms from Lyme
Hi Kelsey, I'm glad to hear you're having positive results practicing brain retraining - it sure does require commitment but it only gets better with time. if you ever decide to try another program I hope you give re-origin a try. :)
Keep at it and have faith in your brain; I healed from CFS with DNRS
Which program are u doing?
@@priyadhiman3887 DNRS
can it help with POTS ?
Have been told I have to retrain my brain due to suffering chronic pain after too much stress and trauma, 20 months ago.
I have burning sensations etc that have moved around inside my mouth and cheeks.
Learning about this helps
Look into Dr John Sarno & TMS (tension myositis syndrome)
@@Miss_Millie_ yes thanks it's good. My therapist has taught me a lot of what Dr Sarno says
this was very helpful..ty
Nice video. Minutes 5:00 to 7:10 were particularly insightful: retraining is all about desensitizing and creating new associations!
Check out systematic desensitisation
Does this work when the cause is viral, or chronic limbic encephalitis?
The issue with mcs, is that many people are stuck in a place that they are reacting to 24/7. So it's not introducing something because your always there in a state of hyper reaction
It helps to live in a garage, a tent or something until you know what your normal is then you try to retrain one thing at a time.
Two things helped me, one was cardiac coherence breathing while being exposed to trigger and the other was a DIY infrared sauna while being exposed to triggers too.
extreme abusive dad. got cfs and extreme brain fog after years of abuse
@@jeanbob1481what's cardiac coherence breathing?
@@sekischro5093
I am so very sorry to hear what you had to go through. I cannot begin to imagine how horrible that was. 😔 Please know that there can be many causes for CFS. I had a wonderful childhood, and have wonderful parents who have been very supportive, and I have had mild CFS for decades now, and I have had bad brain fog for over a decade as well. I have never been through abuse, and I have been mostly at peace and content my whole life.
I think my point is that please don’t think that because of your abuse that you cannot heal, because there can be so many reasons for why we get these illnesses! I hope that you can move past the pain of those memories, and I pray that you can become fully healed, and fully enjoy life! 🙏🏻❤️
Does re-origin have content geared more towards working through emotional trauma/CPTSD or physical trauma, for lack of a better term, that has caused the limbic system dysfunction? I've noticed some are more geared towards relational or emotional trauma processing and others, post-viral or mold, ebv or mcs, etc.
Why are all these programs so expensive? They are economically exclusive.
I feel you 😥 It’s making me depressed even more knowing I can’t afford it 😢 There’s also a christian limbic system rewire that charges $4000 plus for 6 months. It made me think of so many people that needs this but just die slowly because they couldn’t afford to get help 😢
That sucks. 😢 it’s probably the people with PTSD that are some of the poorest. How much are these programs anyways?
I answered my own question. I just looked it up and there’s like three levels at around $300, $500, and $900 if I remember what I just looked at. That seems inexpensive for what it is. I was expecting it to be a lot more. All the healing and therapists I’ve been to have cost way more and it’s so different than something that’s focused this way. For me I’ve missed tons of work because of my mental health so if this worked it would be totally worth it.
@JoyLangston thanks ridiculous!! Who runs the course? I'd like to see what you get for 4k
Hello Ben, do you have any help specifically for POTS? More specifically POTS flare ups..
Any special advice for a TBI survivor who also experienced trauma at work when I was moved to a different department at my university for a year and then the pandemic hit and I believe I am stuck in a fight or flight mode? A neurologist and psychiatrist have not helped at all. Thank you. Your videos look very informative and helpful.
Is this similar to EFT (Tapping)?
Can this help with hearing sensitivity as well?? I had since about 15 months now feels like I’m getting worse
hi, just came across re-origin. i think a question that i have and many others might, is how is this different or is it significantly than Gupta, DNRS, or ANS. and did you try any of those other programs
Hi friend,
That's a great question. A marked difference between re-origin and other programs is our interactive nature with our members. We take pride in fostering a highly dynamic, and supportive community both between members and re-origin staff. The techniques we use are unique to our program and are experiential in nature. So our worksheets and program process are interactive and engaging, enhancing overall understanding and progress in your health. We also offer group coaching as well as live events with experts in the mental health field so our members are given all the tools possible that we can provide to better their health. Our program was also designed by medical professionals and is backed heavily by science. The re-origin program is also completely self-paced and very customizable for specific loops and challenges.
re-origin promotes members as individuals; thus we are with you every step of the way. Our staff is always available if you may need to contact us and our community is highly supportive. If you are looking for a more in-depth look at what our program has to offer, Ben offers weekly group calls to provide more program information and answer any questions! Feel free to sign up for a call on our site. :)
All the best,
So it's the same by the sounds of that 😂
I still have no clue of what it is. I have been watching so many videos about this promising to explain what it is, and they are just all selling a programme, not explaining one exercice. Sounds like a scam to me.
It is brain retraining. There are different programs, different methods. The can be long and complicated from what I've seen; it can include exercise, counseling, etc. It isn't one simple exercise. I don't know anyone that would do this type of training for free. A person is not going to be better overnight and I believe it takes lots of time and commitment.
Hi. I am not sure how to work on exposure to mold spores. It’s not as easy as foods or perfume you can dose etc. It’s a bit more tricky. Also curious how your program might be different from DNRS. I’d like to be able to “create my own exercises “ so to speak.
While it is hard to pinpoint specific mold spores when dealing with MCS, our program allows for the limbic system to reset when dealing with a wide variety of possible triggers.

Are the techniques you utilize very complex with many steps like DNRS and the Lighting Process? These seem way too intense and involved for someone who is extremely panicked by their symptoms or whatever stimulus. Thanks.
Hi, great question. We've done our best to streamline the whole process and any steps involved to make our program as user friendly as possible, without sacrificing effectiveness. Our program is also broken down into modules and bite-sized 5 minute videos that build on themselves, so as to not overwhelm our members. All of our coaches and creators understand the unique challenges of someone going through chronic condition (as people who've been through it and out the other side ourselves). Feel free to visit this link: re-origin.com/book-a-call/ to hop on a call with us and have all your questions answered : )
you need to keep going . add TRE exercises to lower your nervous system
baselevel .
@schesche69 what's TRE please?
What's the difference from Exposure Therapy, where you also get gradually into stimuli. I can think of Jeffery Schartz's "You are not your brain". Nothing wrong though with using same idea but in a different, possibly more effective way.
I will look into your because Annie Hopper's DNRS did not help me AT ALL. If anything, I found it incredibly frustrating and counterproductive.
what actually are the steps in the DNRS program? I can't seem to find a breakdown or explanation anywhere. Thanks! :)
@@whome5810
From what I have heard, the program requires visualization for one hour each day.
Was hoping to get exercises. Got a plug for his program instead 😢
It seems to me that FLASH technique, which is similar to EMDR may be a limb if system retraining exercise. BUT with flash you do not get too much into how the trigger would actually make you feel. Is flash a lambic system retraining technique?
One of my main triggers after I was attacked etc almost two years ago is driving more than just a few miles. How could I work on this at home? Do I have to be on a drive in order to work on it with me of these exercises? Thank you
Sounds a bit like reciprocal inhibition which is used to treat phobias through creating positive association with unpleasant stimuli.
Hi, is there a chance to cure gastroparesis and MCAS with it?
Just fyi, you’ve got a slight glitch in the video that didn’t get edited out at 6:23. Great video btw!
Thank you, Robin. We're glad to see you enjoyed the video and notifying us.
The course is too costly for me... how can I join?
Is there a separate set of exercises if your anxiety is around sleep?
We've actually done "rewire your brain for better sleep" workshops within our program. Sleep conditioning involves shifting your relationship with your sleeping area, and also overcoming the fear of not sleeping (which paradoxically contributes to the issue). There's a fair bit to get into here, so if you're interested, I highly recommend checking out our program where you'll also gain access to that recent sleep webinar. www.re-origin.com/program
Is your programme in Spanish, too?
Yes using a Christian platform doing visualization, distraction methods, smiling like you mentioned, box breathing, getting outdoors to hike , reminding me of God promises etc.,
@cherbears,
What is the Christian program you are using?
You don't need to be a christian in order to benefit from this video. It works for everyone.

Can you make a video on what to do if you panic as you’re falling asleep? I have no idea how to help myself when I’m laying there and now aroused when I was trying to drift off. I feel very irritated and also sleepy! So to have to get out of bed and start over seems stressful. Wondering what you recommend.
Did you fix it, and if so, how?
I used to sleep awesome until a devastating event a year ago that left me extremely overwrought for months; I then suffered horrible insomnia for 6-8 months. It was killing me. I developed leaky gut, digestive issues, debilitating constipation, hives, bone crushing depression. If it weren’t for my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I wouldn’t have made it. He lead me to EFT. I got a book called EFT for Christians, did what it said to do, and have been sleeping very well since. I do semi-regular EFT now, as it calms the nervous system. I also do deep breathing, 4 seconds in, hold for 7 seconds, long exhale when I lay in bed to fall asleep and it works. Also, long walks in nature, especially after dinner, very helpful. Get rid of the caffeine; that is 100% stress right there. I’m doing the GAPS diet to fix my digestive system; I no longer have leaky gut. I am on the mend. I hope this helps. God loves you and is waiting for you to turn to Him. He WILL help you!

@@goolash9991 I'm very traumatized from two bouts of covid, the 1st took me nearly 2 years to recover from. Now got it again and going through a bad POTS flare up.
Your words are very inspirational..
Do you think EFT could help me?
@@goolash9991
I’m so glad you have faith in Jesus! I have had mild CFS for decades, and I cannot imagine having gone through it without My faith! From the beginning, I thanked him for anything I was going through, and I trusted his plan, and that has given me peace all of these years!
Hi I don't know how I found your channel but I was so intrigued. May I ask, can this help with trauma survivors?
I'm constantly having problems with the fight flight freeze fawn, in which I just talked to my therapist today.
She suggested a lot of mindfulness exercises, and staying in the body n breath.
She also recommended reframing the situation I was stressed over, whether I was caught in fight flight or fawn w the flashbacks.
Sort of like instead of going into the traumatic experience, closing the door on it, opening up another door, and walking through to a new environment.
Would that be anything similar to DNRS?
Thank you for your time.
What happened when you had a frontal face fall that also affected the position of the nose my got shifted a little bit to the right and now my nose is crooked the dr wanted to do a surgery which I declined my age, emotional and physical health are not in the best to do that. That’s beside having adrenal fatigue syndrome, long COVID symptoms and little by little the pain took over everywhere so now physically and emotionally I am stuck nowhere to go or do. I haven’t found anyone who really understand what’s wrong with me I had to do it myself is very difficult when you start from scratch to find out what’s wrong with you and why nobody understand it, they wanted me to think that I was “crazy “ no anymore I don’t fall for that again. What can you tell me about this situation if possible I could understand what happened but not how to fixed if is possible and thank you
I have been suffering from constant back spasms for no reason for years. Been doing DNRS for about a year now and have made some progress but still unable to be free. Feeling ver discouraged and hoping to find some help here
Hi Chet,
Thank you for stopping by. We all can relate to that feeling, that's how we ended up at re-origin. :) Book a demo call with Ben to see if re-origin can help you, and try our free trial which gives you access to the first and second sections of our course and a preview of our online community, which is there to support you throughout your healing journey.
Read Dr John Sarno's book - healing back pain. He talks about TMS - tension myositis syndrome
I have been getting chest pains heart pains.. chest tightness.. mind is racing at night when trying to sleep.. so many thoughts.. and reoccurring outbreaks of herpes virus.. I have been told it’s anxiety and stress although I don’t necessarily feel anxious or stressed I have spent the past 2-3 years overusing my mind I think, constant use of technology analysing financial markets.. learning new things.. 10 hours screen time per day for me is normal.. but is the answer to retrain my brain to deal with this or is it to just switch off for a few weeks.. /months? Then do the training when I come back?
Dealing with the same. As much as it sounds far out there. I believe technology is responsible. I start limiting my screen time and things start to calm down. Unfortunately, there are cell towers and Wi-Fi everywhere and no way to get away from it. Haven’t figured out this one but at least I know what the causes. Hope this helps.
@@theauthormindset yes it’s odd, I don’t think it’s necessarily the technology itself it’s the overuse and overwhelm of constant information consumption I think..
Agreed. But 20 years ago, I was working for a company and I was sitting amongst almost 100 computers in one room every day. I started to notice my system getting weak, and I was becoming more sensitive to electronics TVs cell phones and so on. You’re right it is the exposure, but what can we do adapt? May rewire our brains? Or better yet, go back to the basics and eliminate a lot of the technology, if not all. That is my wish. God bless.
How come I did not get a cold since covid in February 2020 but I have chronic fatigue syndrome - I can barely walk down the block and insomnia & early morning nightmares which really wipe me out in the morning.
I didn't get COVID but also have what you described plus other symptoms. My doctor calls it long term Covid. Never tested positive.
Sounds like long covid. I had the insomnia. Sorted it out with
5htp - most important.
B complex - important.
Also

Magnesium glycinate or l threonate
L theanine

How much is the re origins course ?
Hi Jenna, we have three different packages starting from $297, giving you access to the course and the community form. Our recommended package is the "Rediscover" which gives you access to the course, community form, and three months of weekly coaching. That one is listed for $497. We also do offer 1-1s. I hope this answers your question. :)
Im reading Buddha’ Brain and when mentioning the Limbic system i immediately paused and found this message. I have lived my whole life on ‘alert’ (7+decades) would life even feel normal if i could reprogram myself?
Indeed! It would feel awkward for a time but would become your new normal
How are you doing now?
And what are the "exercises?" I can't afford the program, so I'm trying to find some nuggets online.
I'd like to know too.
Since this is their Business, they're not going to give it away for free.
@@seapearltoo1-- True. There are people born with certain problems they didn't ask for and there are always greedy folks to come along to exploit them.
And I cannot judge, since if I invent my own ways to deal with the challenges I face, I'd likely be the same way. "I spent most of my life figuring out this secret, so you either figure it out for yourself like me, or you pay me to teach you."
They have to earn a living and pay for the technology that goes into it. Re-origin is more affordable than some others.
Did you have MCS yourself
Yes, as well as food & EMF sensitivities.
This is a re-hash of Dr Milton Erickson, and NLP/Bandler/Grinder/Dilts, not more.
Agreed.
Is there a book on the topic that you know of? Or a video you can link? So I don't have to pay hundreds of $$ to learn the exercises
The Poly Vagal Theory has some exercises.
I m from Holland
How can i do this.?
@mandygroenewoud1065 did you start with the retraining already ( I am also from the Netherlands ) ?
Have you seen cases of skin diseases, which were caused by stress events, recovering with these exercises and brain retraining?
Skin sensitivities can sometimes (but not in all cases) be caused or perpetuated by high levels of stress and inflammation. We have had a number of people in our program see improvements with things like psoriasis, rashes, and skin sensitivities. Of course, these are individual results, and you should always consult your doctor to see what role (if it does play a role) a chronic elevated stress response has to do with your unique condition.
@@re_origin thanks for the response. I’m certain that a stress event caused my condition (chronically chapped lips). Directly after my stress event, my peeling lip condition occurred. I have pictures of it manifesting a week after the event.
Have you seen anyone with a condition like this improve? I’m currently implementing EFT tapping for my lips, and a limbic system prompt I found on TH-cam.
@@ShoeBoyReviewhow's your condition now?
Also what's the limbic system prompt you used?
@@tanyawieczorek6603 I think my condition is on the right path to heal!
The prompt I used are from this channel:
youtube.com/@happyandfreehealing?si=nOlHzGWXZbWmnyH1
@@tanyawieczorek6603 I read this out loud and recorded myself. Then, I replay it whenever I want, and speak the speaking parts with it:
Start by sitting up nice and tall, closing your eyes, and taking some deep breaths.
Ground yourself in the present moment, establishing a sense of peace and safety. Feel nice and secure. Deep breath in and deep breath out. You can keep your eyes closed if it’s comfortable or open them if you want to engage in some journaling or drawing during your practice rounds.
If you’re having any sort of symptoms, take a moment to tell yourself “it's okay to stop this overreaction of my nervous system.” Take a step back and look at your brain, mind, and body as a team working together but having distinct and separate parts.
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 forced this reaction 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, calm down, and rest.”
Envision your limbic system like someone at the control room that sets the alarm off when something goes wrong and telling that person to turn the alarm off; “everything is safe and we can rest. There’s nothing else to be hyper vigilant about. Take a deep breath and calm down, we are safe. But at the same time, thank you body, mind, brain, and spirit for working so hard to protect me. We've put so much effort 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 where we are healing every single day, and that healing energy is coming to us. We don't have to strive for it anymore. So, nervous system, take a breath, sit back, and relax. You can switch from fight or flight mode over to rest and digest. You can enjoy life again." Take some time to think about what it will feel like when you are completely healed because you are getting there every day one step at a time.
Close your eyes and envision a time and a place where you are totally healthy and healed. For example, you can imagine yourself walking down the beach on a beautiful vacation. You’re not thinking of symptoms and instead, you’re thinking about the feeling of the sand on your toes, dipping your 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.”
I look ahead at the beach and I know that I want to run down to the very end and watch the sun rise. In fact, since my body is healed, it can do anything that I need it to do. I smell beautiful smells all around me; tropical smells, the smell of the sand and the salt, perhaps even the smell of sunscreen. None of is bothering me because my nervous system is healed, so it does not interpret any of these stimuli as dangerous. It only takes things in and is able to address them for what they are, which is neutral stimuli. I am healed in such a way that I feel powerful and my limbic system and amygdala no longer overreact to any stimuli. I can move as much as I want, I can eat whatever I want, I can smile as wide as I want, and I can laugh as loud as I want. I can be around other people and the sights and smells and sensations and bright lights and noises, and none of it bothers me because I feel so inherently and intrinsically safe.
Take a few moments to really be in that visualization. Close your eyes and truly feel and visualize the sensations, 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 confirming “I am healing; I’m healing my brain, healing my nervous system, and with whatever else I'm doing that is allowing me healing of my body and my symptoms, I will get to this state of peace with complete certainty and confidence. I'm getting there every day.” Deep breath in, deep breath out with your hands to your hearts center, taking a moment to set this intention. “I am healing, I am safe, I am loved, I am at peace.
Doing these practice rounds multiple times a day, visualizing and tapping into a positive psychology of what it will be like when you're healing, you create new neuronal pathways in your brain and tell your amygdala and your hippocampus that it’s okay, you can calm down. Visualizing new memories that aren't even fully formed yet (our brain doesn't know the difference if they're real or fake). So if you can create these core memories and store them in the hippocampus, believing that you’re safe, then the amygdala is no longer overactive during potential stress and fear responses.
If people don't address the psychology behind their condition, they can get get stuck in the chronic illness cycle for years and years. Others are able to have these illnesses, setbacks, and traumas and heal perfectly. A lot of it has to do with our own resilience, nervous system, trauma we went through, and the way that our brain has wired ourselves and our limbic system to respond in a physical way, because our brain and body are linked so closely together. Do this every day, putting yourself in these positive, grateful, loving, mindful positions to signal continuous healing.
DNRS was to complicated for me. Couldn’t get it. Made no sense.
We hope this intro video made things a bit more clear. :)
