Rebecca, You’re a breath of fresh air. I love listening to you via UTube. You have helped me a lot in my recovery journey from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Keep up the great work. With warm regards and best wishes, From Laura K. (in Dublin, Ireland)
@LauraKelly-jd6bx Thank you for letting me know, dear Laura! It delights me to know that I've help you in your recovery journey! Sending hugs to you in Dublin and keep going! You might try my free somatic meditation. These helped me in my recovery a lot! www.rebeccatolin.com/newsletter
Thank you for this video. It was the perfect timing for me. I am bedridden with long Covid/CFS and spending a lot of time in shutdown mode lately so I’m having a lot of ruminating thoughts, fear and sadness. I really like the idea of considering that only a part of me is experiencing this but it doesn’t define me as a person.
@Alice-vh4sk That sounds super challenging and I can understand why you'd be experiencing rumination, fear and sadness. 🤗 I'm so glad that this video hits home for you and you relate to the idea that these symptoms and thoughts don't have to define you. It's true that you are so much more!
Thank you, Rebecca❣️ Your thorough explanation on all of these different Jewels of Help are wonderful; your sensitivity and quote choices only add to your supportive and magical nature that reflects to us what we already are, deep inside 🥰 Our thoughts can overrun our daily life and before we know it’s the end of the day and we’re completely out of breath. Being Mindful & Aware of our Body can turn it all around & transform into a beautiful moment, turning the day around completely! I find listening to natural Bird Songs on a 10 hour TH-cam video really helps during a stressful workday, but sometimes I will listen to a “baby soothing” video where someone softly says “shhhh“ …it really calms my Inner Child❣️ Thank you, & a deep Namaste bow to you, Lovely Soul Soother✨🕊️✨
@Anneland Thank you for crafting such a loving message! And, thank you for having the heart to feel and appreciate me (and my quotes!). 💖 I"m touched by your note. What great tips to listen to birdsong or a baby soothing video. Sometimes, I listen to nature sounds but I'll have to try these specifically! Deep namaste bow back to you.🕊
Thank you so much for this video, Rebecca. I’m really looking forward to doing your course on-line, unfortunately I’m stymied with knee injuries and need to sort out the physical limitations first! Everything you say so resonates with me…. And looking forward to getting my life back after 11 years of post-viral fatigue. Please continue the good work, you’re inspirational!!
@angelina8303 Thanks for your kind words! I'm so glad my message resonates with you and would love to support you in my Be Your Own Medicine course! Registration for my live cohort closes this Monday, September 16th so there's a few days left to join us, and I also have a self-paced course. This work can certainly help post-viral fatigue but it can also help with old injuries! You're welcome to reach out with questions through my website or course@rebeccatolin.com. I'm rooting for you! www.rebeccatolin.com/course
Thank you, Rebecca! My physical symptoms have been lifting with the help of your strategies. I have a lot of stress in my life right now and you are giving me practical tools to navigate this time. Keeping the nervous system balanced is key for many mental and physical issues. Blessings! ❤
@christinevoss9255 That makes me happy to know that your physical symptoms are lifting with the help of my strategies, Christine! Great job on your part! It's true that nervous system regulation is key for mental and physical wellbeing. Have you tried my free somatic meditation? These meditations were pivotal for my recovery, and they are for many of my clients/students. Thanks for your comments and I wish you continued wellbeing! www.rebeccatolin.com/newsletter
Great video, once again! I currently have covid (relatively light this time hopefully) and there is always a point during the infection cycle where I have a burst of anxiety. This time way yesterday in the evening and it has been difficult for me to sleep, due to the anxiety. I always tell myself to be patient and that tomorrow it'll be better!
@alexandrecouture2462 Hello and thanks again for your lovely comment! I so understand how infections can trigger anxiety. But what a great message to tell yourself! I also found that somatic meditations helped my system calm down. Have you tried this free meditation on my website? Great to hear from you and I hope you feel better soon! www.rebeccatolin.com/newsletter

This is great! Thank you so much for your videos, it gives me so much hope. I wonder, any insights why every time I start being more constant with brain retraining and somatic practices or meditations, my symtoms get way worse and I develop insomnia and anxiety, it always happens the first week I start using the tools, which makes me to stop for a while and then going in circles again 😢
@elenaperezpereira8656 You're so welcome! There can be different reasons for this. Often, people are pursuing these practices with an agenda of fixing the symptoms, which can ironically flare them up. An intense attitude can also rev up the nervous system. We also want to learn to respond mindfully to the symptoms. Have you watched this video? th-cam.com/video/WFeMEq159Dg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BmRBsUm3cmkaRS4w I lay out the knowledge and practices in my Be Your Own Medicine course, which goes more in-depth than I can in this channel.

Hi Rebecca. I have exactly the same symptoms that you had and I know you practiced yoga? I’m getting into a yoga practice and finding it a challenge because of crashing and fatigue/ pain afterwards. I’m just wondering how you tackled your yoga practice.? Did you do restorative? Yin?. I have been doing chair yoga which is helping me slightly. Any tips or if you could perhaps do a video on how you managed to get into yoga. Thank you so much xx
@sarahc6154 Hi Sarah! Yes, yoga was and still is a big part of my life. I love it so much! During my symptomatic years, I did mostly restorative or yin yoga. In my recovery, I started doing slow flows to challenge myself. But I used the mind-body framework of not fearing the symptoms. I expanded my activities, including yoga, with mindful attention and somatic awareness. In fact, I offer various yoga and movement practices in my Be Your Own Medicine course because it can be a very helpful part of recovery. I hope this helps and wish you Namaste!
I want to take your course, I’m in Canada so this is going to be VERY expensive. I’m worried this course isn’t for me? I have been cleared by a dr they have no clue what’s wrong with me. I have severe burning eyes specifically if I sleep under 8 hours ( so dumb) this symptom is violent and I’m almost going on disability. My other is nerve pain in my mouth. No tmj might be nerve damage. I notice pots, and chronic fatigue is the most symptoms for this course.. not sure what to do
@sparkely1122 I'm so sorry for your suffering but would I'd love to support you in you recovery! Once doctors have cleared you, we generally treat symptoms as mind-body. I teach you how to do this in the course! Eye symptoms can be common mind-body symptoms, as long as you see your eye doctor for evaluation. You'd also want to check nerve damage with a doctor. But I help people with a massive range of symptoms and would love to help you! Are you on my newsletter? I'm going to announce a big early bird discount starting this Thursday!

Rebecca, do you think you can heal from anxiety if it’s been a part of your life for 25 years? I was 19 when I had my first panic attack and since then it’s taken over my life and since having cfs the last 10 years, anxiety has taken an even bigger hold. I fear I’m a lost cause if my anxiety is so entrenched in my pathways it will prevent me healing.
@Juliee79 Yes, I absolutely think people can heal from anxiety no matter how long it's been around! Our brain is neuroplastic for our entire lives. I've seen people recover from anxiety and other mind-body symptoms after three, four or five decades! Anxiety will try to convince you otherwise, but you can learn a new way. I'm so sorry for your longtime suffering and know it can take a toll. But I'm happy you've found me and this approach! If you want support in your recovery, you might try my free somatic meditation and check out my course! www.rebeccatolin.com/newsletter www.rebeccatolin.com/course
