    Both of theses are a bit foreign to me in dealing with. The pain stuff more like i dealt with it so much im just over it, kind of like when you are soooo tired you cant sleep? Maybe not a good Analogy.
    I recently got like this synchronicity. It was like this message that wasnt written soecifically for me but resonated, about changing mindset. Lessening the like white knuckle grip of Fear, and change it into Flow. The fear and trying to protect yourself, it blocks you and can cause more pain, or create self-fulfilling prophesy.
    Letting this awareness I was even doing this, marinate in my mind and soul, and reflecting. It will come. I process things so slowly. Thank you for this message. :)
    Yeah holding onto pain or fear can be like this death vice grip. It doesnt just interfere with your life and moving forward, it doesn't just keep you stuck and lost because you can't see snything else. It avtually can make you really sick. Unlearning my ingrained habits ... 50 years .. its going to takes bit to reverse all of that knee jerk reaction right? But trying to "trust" without planning now. It feels sooooo weird. But what do i have to lose? Trying something new.
    Sometimes, "Shift happens". Lol :)

    Hi Adrian!! 👋🏻 😊 🥰🙏🏻 I resonate with this a bit right now. I agree. Are you talking about regular overwhelming times in our lives like hardships, mental health struggles, and grieving? Or Trauma! 🤔
    There is one caviate though, some people's feelings or trauma is so intense the brain's defense mechanisms either make the memories of those feelings not accessible, or trigger PTSD. Just sharing .. not disagreeing. I'm to a point my counselor is having me get an additional counselor for trauma work.
    Somatic breathing, or exercises, certain meditations can access these repressed overwhelming feelings and fears, that we inadvertently store within our bodies somehow. but I did try it once..
    ... Long story! I thought it was a nice little meditation class. NOPE!! It was a somatic breathing class I took with a friend. I was NOT prepared!! Absolutely not!. Lol. It is so intense, especially if you are not prepared for all that suppressed stuff to come up you had no idea you were carrying, and the intensity of it takes you by surprise. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace, acceptance, patience, and care for a couple days if you do this. Maybe I would not have gone though if I would have known? I feel like I could do that once a week or month for YEARS before I get it all out so scary. I had no idea. Feels like some kind of bottomless well you didn't know was inside you.
    Sorry if this sounds a little dramatic. And I am totally rambling! But this video reminded me of that. I should start with watching the rest of your video for starters! 😂😊
    I was wrecked the rest of the day which is normal if you haven't done that work before, and not myself for days. It just takes it out of you, like nobody's business. You have to withdraw and do self care measures until you get better again. It's intense!
    Omg... I had no idea the level of grieving and PTSD just from life stuff .. it's like bone shaking gutteral I don't even know the words for it. Not crying, howling. Omg the pain. And I can't even imagine what victims of assault and other things go through. That is just my life stuff I had no idea I have been carrying around.
    Gotta feel it to heal it. Ughhhg 🫣😲😖😣🤯😭🥰 it's almost like it's own secondary trauma if you have no idea that level of feeling is down in there. I had PTSD from inadvertently taking a breathing class to release trauma! Lol
    That'll learn me! :) luckily I felt safe and supported with that small group, but incredibly Exposed and ashamed of that coming to the surface, I don't want to do that around others you know? So personal.
    Anyway, this is a late response, but I have been subconsciously doing some of my shadow work already which is good. Hopefully it will be less scary. I have been AVOIDING calling the counselor.
    That is what is on the agenda for Monday. 🫣🙏🏻💖 l

      @@ladyphoenix_111 somatic breath work is no joke. i know many people have very intense experiences because it has the ability to bring things up to the surface like that. i personally would not like to be that vulnerable in front of people either but also, i know that those spaces are meant for it, they’re meant to be supportive, a safe space where people are allowed to feel those very intense emotions. and while it can be scary to feel such intense things, it is very liberating because it’s freeing you of all the things that have been trapped inside of you for so long and these are the things that lead a lot of people to breakthroughs. it’s definitely an area i would encourage people to seek support in because i know it can be too much for some people to handle on their own.

      I just had this feeling, of you know, First, Woah! Where is all this coming from? 😮 It kind of scared the Begeeezuz outa me!!! 😂 And the second, Oh shit there is wayyyyyyy more down there than I could even touch in one class. And I think I would have prepared to do that work with a counselor, which might be soon! My counselor was telling me of different kinds of therapies.
      Like EMDR? If I am saying this right? Eye movement desensitization? It does something to actually heal the wounds that have become this fear pain-based almost like a scratch in a record that reoccurs and you can't do anything about. I am glad to hear about it. It's overwhelming. But if stuff I am holding inside is messing up my thinking, and keeping me stuck, I am going to try to be open to it. Because avoiding it does help anything.
      Yeah the somatic stuff probably wouldn't have been so intense, if I knew what I was getting into ahead of time. 😂 My friend and I were just visiting a local spiritual shop and decided to take a class while we were there. :) I now have this little ceramic heart that says "trust" which is what I am trying to learn to move into. Its pocket stone size. But it's flat. I might wire wrapped it someday and make a pendant with it to wear. :) 🤗🥰

      ​@@Adrian-555oh, I meant to say, I got the ceramic "trust" heart from the lady that does the class. She closed the class with a bag of small ceramic things, and you picked something from it. I grabbed the heart. :)
