Such a great and wonderful and helpful show!! Both the interviewer and interviewee. Your questions, being real and vulnerable in clarifying and also restating... and Steven Levine, just a lovely and beautiful human who is and has been helping the planet for years. It is a continual unfolding process of healing & transforming trauma, understanding and hopefully breaking the cycle of hurting each other.... and replacing with helping each other instead. So simple. and the planet is so much smaller these days. 🙏💕🌏
Thank you for sharing!
It's Peter Levine.
I had a break through with just the two breaths of a psyc breakdown in 1997 was suicidal total personality break should've been hospitalized~ However sine of the experiences of the run away completely flight from my current life created many experiences that with my own recovering alone at home isolated except for very few visits with family kids, g-kids friend or 2 in phone & these connections on social media with Peter & a few
Others who really know about healing COMPLEX LIFE LONG UNHEALED TRAUMA FROM WOMB TO BIRTH THROUGH UNTIL BEGAN SOBRIETY IN 1986~ GOOD RECOVERY UNTIL PSCH BREAKDOWN IN 1996 ~ 1997
HOW IT CAME OUT HERE NOW IN 2024 MAY 25TH ON internet with Peter was the 2 breaths
While on my flight from my triggered abusive e life on 1997 I ran to childhood homes to SF Bay Area~
The 1st house was age 1 to 6 yrs.
My hand prints are in the driveway cemetery. While visiting the house I saw the hand prints~ my entire being temem ered putting my little girl hand in the wet Venecia with my father. It was dated. I suddenly felt that I am REAL. I DID live here as a child. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED FREAKY DID HAIRBALL TO YOU A REAL CHILD HERE. THE FINDING OF MY HAND PRINTS IN THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY FROM AGE 4YR OLD BEGAN THE VERY LONG JOURNEY OF REMEMBERING MUCH IN MY HEAD BRAIN.
HOWEVER
THE HUMAN HEART IS THE REAL BOSS OF THE DATA MEMORY BANKS OF THE BRAIN IN OUR HEADS. THE MIND OF THE BEST IS CONNECTED TO THE SACRED SOUL . I BELIEVE THE VEGAS NERVE IS ALSO THE COORDINAT I R BETWEEN ALL THE THE HEAD BRAIN & MIND OF THE HEART& SEAT OF THE SOUL CONNECTING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY. AN INFORMATION DESIGN CATALYST FOR THE MIRACULOUSLY CREATED HUMAN BEING BODY AS A WHOLE THEY WORK TOGETHER. I LEARNED ABOUT BODY MEMORY IN THE PAST DECADE FROM WORKING ALONE WITH ONE EMOTIONALLY & INTELLECTUALLY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT ADULT DAUGHTER & ONE CLOSER GIRL FRIEND~ SO AT MY 5TH DECADE OF LIVE 25 YRS INTO RECOVERY OF MY TRUE WHOLE SELF~
I BEGAN TO SLOWLY IGNORE THE FEROCIOUS EGO FILLED WITH FEAR LEARNED TO CREATE AN OBSERVER SELF DETATCHING MORE & MORE FROM JUDGEMENT OF EMOTION & THOUGHT ALLOWING THEN TO FLOW WITHOUT ANCHORING IN ATTATCHMENT TO THE JUDGEMENT THE LABELS OF GOD BAD RIGHT WRONG AND AT4 YRS OF AGE I'M NOW FINDING A MORE COMPLETE WHOLE HEALING OF RECOVERY OF THE REAL ME.
THE LONG JOURNEY FROM THE HEAD TO THE HEART IS MOVING EVER SO CAREFULLY THROUGH THE TRAUMA MEMORIES THE BODY MEMORIES WHICH ARE SO UNCONSCIOUSLY SNCHORED
I was curious how many would correct the share. Ask your "self" who or what needs to correct or (be right)? Then, why?
@jeffthomas905 what are you talking about? Who needs to be right? Is about Dr. Levine's name
I would like to share some of the somatic exercises I do that help me feel more in my body and more connected and that have so miraculously enhanced my trauma therapy.
1. Stroke my arms up and down for a few moments.
2. Put one hand on my forehead and the other on my neck for a few seconds.
3. Softly massaging the point below my nose for a few seconds.
4. Rubbing my hands together until I feel some warmth and putting them onto my eyes or cheeks or jaw.
5. Tapping my whole body from feet to head.
As I am suffering from trauma based anxiety I also do some exercises to find security in the present moment. For example:
1. Looking around in the room I am in and curiously noticing everything that's there.
2. Concentrating on the sensation of whatever surface my body is sitting or laying on.
3. Moving my spine like it was a water plant and thereby really feeling my spine
Besides this and talk therapy I took in all information I could get about the polyvagal theory and about protection strategies that out brain develops unconsciously to protect us from further pain or even from reality. I also do guided TRE (trauma release exercise) on a weekly basis to further understand and regulate my nervous system. Furthermore I journal a lot and I thought back to what I loved when I was young and started doing that again.
This is what really helps me - I hope this can be of any help or inspiration.
Lots of love ❤
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing this info!
I'm gonna screen shot this and try these thank u I'm always lookn for something be it education to learn more about it and meditations
He is giving listeners a SAMPLE of Somatic Therapy rather than just answering a list of questions by the interviewer. Love his work! 😌
Yes!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
@@ToddBoehly0147 Thank you for asking! As a licensed mental health counselor, I'm always seeking to learn new ideas for working w/ patients, so I feel good learning and studying others' ideas. I'm originally from from Atlanta Georgia and moved to New Mexico.

Aho!
You too my dear Peter Levine
He's the best!
Peter is a blessing to the world!
He is!!!
100% agreed. Regulation of the nervous system is paramount and the crux of the entire issue. If you can find methods to restore regulation, and get the brain to accept parasympathetic activation/ability to relax/release etc... amazing things are possible. The difficulty is convincing the brain that it is indeed safe to reactivate this parasympathetic response... because in order to do that..the brain has to register that it is safe enough to change states. This is why some people have negative responses to certain types of trauma interventions..because the nervous system is rejecting that change. This also explains why certain people do breathwork and feel zero change...or may even feel more anxiety..etc. All individuals that I have worked with that either have physical issues or trauma related issues have a phenomenal disconnect between brain and body.. even at a muscular level. This can most certainly be reprogrammed...but the disconnect is the reflection of the nervous system. The more disconnected.. the more intense the dysregulation and symptoms. Hope this helps anyone who is watched this and has not found the answers they are looking for.
Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. I suppose that's true for me
I am working on forgiveness: for others who caused me trauma, and myself for taking on shame and guilt for the trauma. Loving oneself unconditionally is key for me.
Love this!
❤❤
Yes- that is true healing at the root level 💕
I don’t believe any child gets out of childhood without trauma. Bullies prey on smaller, weaker creatures. Children are the perfect target for the anger of traumatized adults. We all need this.
Any “Bad” Experience doesn’t necessarily have to be traumatizing. If the kid has a regulated nervous system then it’s likely to be able to process the stress caused by an event and live on without storing it.
If the caretakers are traumatized however it is very likely that they will pass it on to their children as the child will copy the NS of the people it spends the most time with in the first 3yrs.
The birth itself could be a trauma. Every baby cries at that moment.
truth
This breath has helped heal my past Gastroperios, IBS Abaxiety dizziness constipation, and dizziness. This and meditation and brain training with tapping.Thank you for telling people this because if they would just get into a habit of this it could heal them too! Your body is hoping and waiting for you to tell it that it is safe and this is the bet way. If you yawn or pass gas, you'll know you are doing it right! xo Ava
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, an awesome new door opens for my journey discovering self. 🎉
Awesome
Are the two of you related? When I saw the video thumbnail, I thought it was a younger and older version of the same man. I was surprised to learn that is not the case.
On to a relevant portion of this comment, the fact you are both helping the world to heal themselves is such a beautiful gift and extremely great use of your time and talents. Thank you both!
Sounds & tones are huge for our bodies. Wind chimes. Sound baths...etc etc Healing.
Yes!

Can there be more like this man? God do we need more ! Specially Good Men ❤
Yes absolutely 💯 🙌 very much so.
As a man in trauma recovery-Thank you for you for your comment 🙏🏻
I am being treated by a wonderful somatic therapist that has created a safe and trusting environment to work through and unearth deep seated trauma as I am also trying to heal from chronic illness. Dr Peter Levine’s and Dr Gabor Mate’s work has been life transforming for me and I owe them a deep level of gratitude for honing a newfound compassion for my painful history of experiences. I wish everyone that could use it an effective and deeply fulfilling healing journey on your personal yet meaningful path 🙏♥️
Thanks for sharing!
May I ask what state your therapist is ? I need a good source for my son
Dr. Gabor Mate is Amazing!!!
Thank you Peter for everything what you do. You are saving lives.
Thanks ❤
Thank you!
"it's not about brute force anymore. It's about cooperation." That says it all, ey? So wonderful to hear two thoughtful individuals having a self-reflective, good-faith conversation grounded in substance and service.
This is so incredibly important. I can say from my own experience that working with my nervous system has enhanced my talk therapy in a stunning kind of way. I am processing so much trauma in a few months, I never thought this was possible. I can do that because I learned how to regulate my nervous system and find security in the moment as well as feeling true compassion for myself and therefore being able to watch my inner critic and consciously deciding to stop beating myself up. It's truly like a miracle. ❤ Thank you from my heart, dear Peter Levine and Stephen Porges for your most highly valued work.
Thanks for sharing!
Peter is such a beautiful human being
He is!

Saying „I’m real“ caused a strong tingle in the core of my being.
Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory aligns with this and explains the physiology an science behind this process. He'd be an amazing guest too!
Noted!
I’ve heard it explained it before like, the stuckness of the trauma is not a cerebral, intellectual, cognitive thing - it’s not a puzzle or problem that Mind can solve (e.g. talk therapy). Insight alone might not be impactful. It lives in the body, and many of us are so disconnected, dissociated & almost ignoring or compartmentalizing what’s happening in our bodies. We may not have access to it unless we go and meet it there, which starts with attending, noticing, paying attention. I’ve heard Peter say that the physiological stress response needs to be able to be completed, because it’s sort of stuck frozen from the original experiences, mid-reaction, when it couldn’t resolve.
Dear jo5546...SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TAKE AWAY ❤ Thanks for speaking such wisdom ❤😊
I feel stuck. Not sure how to explain it but I do know I'm not myself at the moment. Not sure why or what is going on. I'm not even thinking normally. Not bad thinking just not thinking if that makes since. I've been working on myself but not sure why I'm not feeling better or why I feel the way I'am.
@debrakarr I also have more work to do. I know I need to try to find a good therapist and resume keep on keeping on! Best wishes and much healing to you!🌷
Crazy enough , I had a deep epiphany with some childhood trauma listening to this today .
Thank you both for putting this important information. ❤
Our pleasure!
Yay! Peter Levine! I love this guy! 😊
Yes!
Thank you it works it was a giggle watching how uncomfortable it made the host and how resistant he was to doing this exercise
The vulnerability here is incredible ❤
I didn't know that I've lived in my head and disembodied for decades, until I worked with a somatic experiencing therapist. That was transformative for me and helped me recover from chronic pain and befriend my body.
The neuroscientist, Lisa Feldman Barrett says that the body doesn't keep the score. She says the brain keeps the score, the body is the scorecard. I'd love to see you interview her. It would be a fascinating juxtaposition to this interview with Peter Levine.
Noted! And thank you for sharing!
I don't think there is a real disagreement. Both Peter Levine and Bessel Van Der Kolk have clarified that when they say that trauma is stuck in the body, they mean that it's stored as a procedural memory in the brain so that the whole body keeps repeating the same reaction over and over again automatically.
It didn't help me at all. I think it's a scam.
@@cecilecavallaro4924 it may be placebo effect (but who cares if it works) but he also said for many people it will take more than trying it a time or two, especially if you've had deep trauma and carried it for a long time. If you are very disconnected from your body, it takes a lot of work and perhaps help from others to even notice a change in sensation. Hope this helps.
@@cecilecavallaro4924keep searching. There are many methods, may you find relief.
OK, I know this isn't the most important thing shared in this video, but can you IMAGINE having Albert Einstein save your mother's life when you were in the womb? Man! The stuff of legends!!
57:29
He is!
Sweet huh...love it , too....in the Light
Add some of Einstein's theories on time ...and he really could have visited Peter.
Incredible… and I really believe he was communing with Einstein in the spirit.
You have definitely left the world in a better place and I hope we meet in heaven
We’re in heaven now. The objective here is to recognize it. ❤
Have you ever looked around?
Flowers, incredible insects, animals, plants, trees, stars, moons, planets, suns, billions of interesting people, both wonderful, and to recognize the beautiful we have the horrifying too, mountains, forests, deserts, oceans, streams, rivers, grass, butterflies, rainbows, trees, delicious foods and sensory experiences, how about orgasms!! 😃😍
We have love, compassion, kindness, gentleness, generosity, tenderness.
This place is amazing I think. 😊
I’d love to meet before! Am trying to find an English speaking Somatic Experience therapist here in Israel, preferably Jerusalem. But the ultimate would be to work with you, directly! The 10% people have my email & phone…& may remember me as I also worked as a member of the White House Press Corps for 22+ years….
Hot damn it!!@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496
No, we're not. @@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496
Me too
This breathing exercise is known in yoga circles, recovery groups, and at our local Y. Thought it is common, surprised to hear the interviewer frame it as wierd or fucked up…. Why dumb down the wonderful opportunity to talk with Peter Levine
We appreciate your feedback!
Yes, especially as Peter had said twice that there are many studies that back it up, not to mention thousands of years of yogic practice which wouldn’t have perpetuated if it weren’t effective. Chanting ॐ (Om) is mentioned explicitly in many ancient yogic texts, but the Western mind turned it into some sort of religious ritual. Yoga is a complex practice available to anyone, if their own stubborn dogmas can be dropped 🙏🏻
I have a lot of childhood trauma that a lot of people all around the world have experienced. For example, abuse neglect abandonment. It wasn’t until I lost my partner in front of me in tragic circumstances that I realised that the Trauma and shock that I experienced has affected my body to the point where for a period of time of a about a year I could barely walk. My GP doesn’t understand that it’s all connected and kept sending me for scans with nothing coming back. It wasn’t until I started getting acupuncture, and doing Meditation to calm my nervous system that the chronic pain that I’ve had for four years has begun to subside. This is a brilliant interview and the world needs to be educated on how to severe trauma even from childhood can affect you as an adult physically.. I can’t believe that CPTSD or complex Trauma is not in the DSM five. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to this.
DSM is the devils 😈 book. Full of addicted poisoned medications that make money. This won't make money for them so you won't find it in the DSM sadly
Thank you!my son still can remember when he was in my belly...he first told me about when he was around 2.5...now he is 16...still on my way of working on my story with the hope to give my health self to my son.but definitely he has an intense time in my belly....thank you!
Incredible video! Thank you Dan and Peter 👏🏼. And, thank you Peter for being so vulnerable and sharing your story and your truth. So powerful.
The vuuuuu thing works I have tried so many sounds but this technique works really well. Better than the breathe in then out for longer which nearly suffocates me
Very good, thanks for sharing!
No it doesn't. You're imagining things. Look up placebo effect.
@@cecilecavallaro4924interesting how you are an expert that knows more about others' experience than they themselves do.... Gaslight others much? Pretty arrogant.
@@cecilecavallaro4924what a strange response! It works and is based on solid rationale!
@@cecilecavallaro4924what do you suggest? I walk around making all sorts of noises to get the pain out. Take care
Insights in no particular order:
1) Peter is one of the most amazing humans alive today and I am so fortunate for his life and work. The sharing of his childhood trauma at the hands of the criminal underworld is shockingly tragic, and yet his transmutation of that energy into Bodhisattvic help for the world is shockingly positive in wonderfully disproportionate measure (for the good)!
2) meditation is only mental until stability is achieved at which point bodily Visualization (Many times with the seeds syllables) is employed as the Higher tantras. I believe that the “west” has inherited a toxic judeo-Christian shadow that the body is “wrong,” “fallen,” “to be disregarded,” etc. This is not present in certain traditions, as evidenced by their acceptance of sexuality, for example (Nor is any of this a strict Dichotomy, West vs East, etc.).
4) It’s well understand in certain eastern esoteric traditions that what is required for a connection beyond the body is an actual physical karmic connection whilst embodied: that criteria was fulfilled between Peter and Einstein. Though not the case here, the same connection is required between master and disciple for instruction in the inner realms, through the gate of death etc.
5) At this point in human evolution, the “scientific“ dismissal of internal states of being and spiritual experiences, etc., is shameful, archaic, and not even on par with exhaustive peer reviewed studies around, for example, near death experiences, meditation, and altered states of being. Peter’s Level of insight that these experiences of imagined or very real things should be honored in children, and implicitly All, is spot on (which one would hope is common sense, yet alas look at our societal dismissals of inner subjective experiences).
6) Peter speaks of psychedelics as though he does not have experience in doing them, respectfully. There is nonlinear, trans-mental (pre annd post), information to be gained from the plants as shamanic cultures have always known. While I do understand the point that it is not necessary to ingest psychedelics to become embodied “past” trauma, the successfully integrated psychedelic experience does have information for the recipient which, but for that experience, might not be encountered via traditional channels through the waking state. How else would I have come to know that I was a toxically anger consumed Native American called the “Skull Crusher,” in a prior life (You can call me a fool, I will remain unconvinced of it)?
7) beggars banquet is a whole vibe indicative of 70s Berkeley I’m from (and live) the Bay Area and this really resonates with me. You can still go over to San Francisco to the Hayes St.Grill where the owner of the Beggars banquet, Patricia Unterman still rules the helm (as of 2018, not sure now). She’s still makin them rich soups at home.
I rant, I rave, I’m inspired, I love! ❤️
Thanks for sharing!
Years of talk therapy with little benefit, left that therapist for a psychologist who used hypnotherapy, EMDR, and IFS (Internal family systems) and, wow, rapid progress, soò grateful ❤. Talk therapy was the primer, the soil in which EMDR, IFS, and hypno, and breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve were seeded, and I blossomed. Now i'll add the Vu to the breathing. Thank you, dr Levine, for your work and dedication ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Dan has come a long way. I’ve learned to accept that tho we’re both journalists, we,re as different as day & night. He’s still growing and evolving as I hope so am I, so are we all!
Yes, yes, yes!
Somatic Experiencing changed my life, both personally and professionally. Thank you Peter, what a gift to be able to be so gentle and agile in therapy... not enough words....
Your work is reaching far and wide. Gratitude from Namibia...
Thank you for sharing!
I have to admit during this breathwork I felt absolutely nothing. I am a childhood abuse survivor and still suffer with anxiety disorder today. But I will keep trying
Investigate his writings or find a Somatic Experiencing therapist... There is so much available beyond breath work and this therapy is fairly common now. Complex childhood trauma deserves dedicated treatment. ❤
Robert’s EFT is on TH-cam..
Emotional Freedom Technique.
@@perlamargarita8040 Thanks. I live inThailand, I doubt if we have Somatic therapists here. But I will take a look. Explains why Talk therapy never worked for me!
Keep trying--God Bless 🙏
I didn’t either. Almost like I have no connection with my gut. I felt all sensation in my vocal cords. Then i thought maybe its because i have had so many babies that I have damaged the vagus nerve?
Thank you both Dan and Peter.
I have done lots of healing in my life because my childhood was filled with trauma on a daily basis. I have worked hard to get to where I am now in my healing process. However I still have this habit of leaving my body.
I did the exercise with you did at the beginning of this conversation and I actually fell right into my body sensation.
Btw Peter. I only have 2 pics of childhood self. I look at the one where I am about 4 and I say when I can look at that pic and know it is me. Then I will know I have healed my wounds. I'm so much closer now. She is no longer a stranger to me. I can feel we are growing closer and closer the more I heal.
Again, thank you. I look forward to reading your book Peter.❤
Thank you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
Peter you are truly a spiritual Warrior! Thank you for being vulnerable bother 🙏😊
Yes!
No Dan,..... I wouldn't have thought that you've lost your mind ' but (I would have ) had you "not " participated. This is a very valuable topic; at least to me because I'm suffering from bowel and indigestion problems. Thank you for sharing.
We're so glad it's helpful!
This is amazing thanks. I have ptsd and panic attacks
Stay positive! Dan has come a long way with his anxiety and wants other to as well.
If the US would sanction the use of psychedelics medicinally then maybe we could GET the help we need under medical supervision. We are so behind the rent of the world!
In 2020 I came across NICABM's training about mastering the treatment of trauma. It was here that I found out about treating trauma from the bottom up (i.e. through the body)...Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Dr. Pat Ogden's work), EMDR, and other somatic modalities changed how I understood my own experiences as well as those of others. I really appreciate this interview! Your willingness to be vulnerable and try out some techniques is awesome! and great questions! Thanks so much for this.
Thanks for sharing!

my dog loves this and felt the need to lick me in the face.
Love this!
Wow! I had pain on my left hip and lower back before I started with 10 of the vuuuu out breaths. It works! The pain is 80% better 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽
Wow!
I’ll have to listen to his trauma story ( 4 yrs old kid) in the morning or I may have difficulty sleeping..! A fascinating man dr Peter Levine
I love Peter Levine’s work as much as his amazing and beautiful heart. Thank you both for sharing this amazing and life-changing dialogue. ❤
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you so much for these conversations Dan! Love Peter Levine
Thank you!
Aren’t we thrilled that the mass conscienceness has pretty much accepted this better than in the past when it was seen as “fringe?” That gives me hope for the future 👍
Yes!
Yes!
Such a beautiful interview! Thank you both and thank you Peter for your outstandig life work. So much Gratitude for you 🌊💙🌊
I follow Peter Levin's work and conversations and videos for over a decade now. And this by far the most fascinating and moving of them all. Really touched my heart and soul in a profound way with sharing very personal information that resonates with my life experiences and gives me a sense of validation.
I totally agree and understand this wonderful therapy methods to heal and help the body to adjust to soo much going on in this earth world that is harmful and difficult to deal with. The only thing I don’t understand is when you mention about the man that was so invested in his laptop, it does not matter she had money the outcome is he healed and he could carry a normal real life. Thank you for teaching us about Somatic Therapy !! Yea the world needs it now !! God Bless you both ⭐️❤️🙏🕊
Also we could all explore what God has created for us all and what the negatives of this world are We call good and evil. Jesus is the pathway to peace with His Wisdom 🙏 Praying is releasing all bad to Our Creator❤️🩹
Thanks for sharing!
I've had chronic pain from bracing since 2 years old,I fell down concrete stairs and was rushed to hospital, I lasted into a coma while they we operating on me and my parents were told I wouldn't make it.lived with trauma ever since,them more traumatic events piled on top and I don't think I worked through any of it,my mum couldn't deal with anyone's emotions but mine in particular she found offensive and told me I had no right to feel anything and that my life was not going to be a happy one,guess it sunk in.
You might find EMDR treatment from a trained therapist helpful
So sad for you. So sorry for all you have been through. Hopefully you can find healing through good therapy like they are showing here.
I'm sorry went through such terrible times. Thank you for bravely sharing your story. Courage is important on the healing path and you've definitely got it.
I believe you will find much comfort and healing Keep looking for the right therapist/team. You CAN get MUCH BETTER,
We love you, DAN! You definitely haven't lost your mind!❤
Thank you!
Peter thank you soooo much for this gift and thank you for the courage to share. Much much LOVE
I come so close to death, several time! what i have experienced is that it so peaceful, it undiscribable...its anazing! i did want to come back, then a very small part of me remembered my chikdren...and i came back. My life is not finished yet!
Thank you for this valuable interview with this beautiful human that is Dr Levine.
Thank you for joining!
Dans interviewing skills are excellent in leading the audience with questions and suggestions to understand what the Doctor is explaining and demonstrating. The mind and body are amazing. ❤😊
Yes!
Thanks so much for this. The vuuu is making me cry! Can't stop! Long covid for 2 years, been improving but it feels like it's taking me back to an awful trauma during lockdown when my special needs child had a bad accident and we needed to go to hospital. Was particularly bad due to all the restrictions. I don't usually get upset so this is strange. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for sharing your journey!
Dan, you have no idea how meaningful this interview has been to me and the counselling work that I do. Thank you Dan for putting this together. Thank you Peter for being so brave and kind to share this very personal journey.
We're so glad!
Its AMAZING when I do the Vuuu, I allow my lips to vibrate and I'm exhaling....it seems to give even MORE POWER to the somatic intensity and intention! MUCH THANKS, for the PEACEFUL feeling it gave me! 1'st time! I definitely will keep using this!😊❤ Exceptional video full of useful information!
Wonderful!

The last few minutes of the talk really hit me after he showed the photo of himself as a toddler. Mr Levine was quite emotional of how he wants that "child" to be with him when he transcend this world. I have the same notion myself and can relate.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Loved this! Thank you for having Peter Levine on. His tips are helping me already.
We're so glad!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope 🤞 this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
It's unfortunate that the interviewer tried to intellectualize everything that Mr. Levine was sharing from a depth of presence & experience that far surpassed the thinking mind. I was SO touched & helped by this presentation. The boat story encompassing Einstein's appearance was awesome. Everything Mr. Levine shared was totally believable & people who are in "ascension mode" get this! I've had the same experience of people's doubt drowning out perfectly valid attempts to be helpful-- I can think of some linked to teaching EFT methods. FAR time to recognize that we're moving beyond the 3D to experience the miracles that can easily be experienced by believing. For believing is seeing, and not the other way around in my humble experience! What a beautiful human being this Mr. Levine is-- thanks for having him on your podcast.
Such wonderful information.
Not to feel crazy when in need asking my family to kind me in the right direction. Many times they are the departed. That connection is intriguing. Yes being open is key
Ty gentleman
Thanks for watching!
@Peter Levine had made a difference in my life and I continue to share his "waking the tiger" technique. Thank you, Peter, for your journey and your expertise and faith in your journey.
Thanks for sharing!
I M SO GRATEFUL DR PETER LEVIENE SIR . MAY I.PRACTISE AND HEAL RAPIDLY 🙏 ✨️ 😌
So are we!
This video helped me start to climb back out of depression that started a couple of weeks ago when I stopped doing all my self help work. I felt some relief almost instantly. I just got your book on Audible. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Dan, you have a wonderful, deep, and resonant voice! I read your book, and it was great to hear and see you in person!
Thanks for listening!
Amazing, a professional is speaking exactly what I’m feeling!! THANK YOU.
You are so welcome!
Much gratitude for Dr. Levine, and now, also for Mr. Harris. I've also felt a downpour of warmth and soothness. Thank you both so much for this!
Thank you!
What a beautiful interview! My goodness. Thank you both so much.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video! I am so grateful to Dr. Levine! Acting like toddlers or small children is fixing us, and from my perspective, children are way more enlightened than we think, and this is the proof that these weird exercises work! We all knew it internally as babies. Let's cherish the children and their knowledge! ❤
Wonderful!
Thank you for this. The first 30 minutes with the practices are transformative ❤.
We're so glad!

I am so grateful to you Dr Levine all your work. You are amazing and have helped me greatly over the years. I only wish there were more like you who spoke about the so called woo woo experiences. I love your honesty it helps us all heal. ❤️💕
The woo woo is so real if we’re only open to it!
Yes!
I think enough of us are experienced enough with meditative and breathing practices to be very much in synch with the process. Thanks for adding to my own.
Well said!
Does it actually give tips or is it more description? I've watched countless hours and most videos just describe what dyreguatlion is and the importance of regulating without giving actual way of doing it.
Yes I’d love more resources please
This video is a pure gem💎. Many thanks!
Thank YOU!
Beautiful messages. Using his testimony to leave a legacy.
Thank you for the honest and wonderful conversation ❤

I always find the best personalities in n people with these panick attacks ! They are the best types to deal with. Most honest, most talented, greatest people and personalities to be real friends and most down to earth, most loyal, most curious and interesting types !!!
Yes!
One of the best enlightening experiences I’ve had in the last year, learning how everything we experience truly forms us.
What a compliment, thanks for watching!
@@TenPercentHappierbot! Unrelated comment.
There was a Dr. Loewen who brought attention to somatic reaction also, using a technique called bio-energetics.
Meditation practice has many more modalities than just observing one's thoughts.
Sensorium type meditation focuses on one's attention in the sensations of the body. It's a ver grounding and healing practice that dislodge unconscious patterns, discomforts and trauma out of the body.
During my practice I usually do a "body scan" paying attention without judgment and deeply feeling all that arises, without restrain. It's amazing what bubbles up. I also do this practice during emersive walks in nature. It has helped and healed me more than any talk therapy has ever done.
We, as individuals and as society, became disconnected from the feelings emerging from our bodies. We drink them away, we try to find all sorts of scape from feeling any discomfort, by in doing so we also shutdown the healing. The healing is in the feeling. 🙏🤗
This information is vital for the Human race. Thank you ❤
Thank you!
Goal accomplished for improving the world.
Yes!
It doesn't work. Guess you don't have bad anxiety like I do.
Thank you so much , this is so helpful. I believe you have definitely left the world in a better place than you found it because of the work you have done to help others 🙏🏾
Thank you!
Both of you are beautiful human beings. When it was time to say “I am alive” I wept. Not sure why. Trusting for that healing work within. Wow, what a conversation.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Information makes so much sense of what and how trauma has been stored in my body. Somatic experience and walking meditation gives me hope.
Thanks for sharing!
Incredibly helpful, thank you. The key to healing and living well.
We're so glad!
Humming has worked for me as well :)
Wonderful!
what a great video, I want to over come my anxiety
Thanks for joining and stay positive! Dan has seen so much progress with his.
@LaChicaDeMex This won't help you overcome your anxiety, but will help calm you. It's L-Theanine and it's an amino acid, not a medication. Search TH-cam and people will talk about how it helped them.
@@lyns2686there are many people who healed anxiety with these technics or meditation.
Trauma opens up doorways. From childhood on.... for me. The Einstein story. I would explain that as not something you're imagining, it's something you witnessing.
Thanks for sharing!
sigh really hard, emptying the lungs (& allowing them to fill)

will reverse the fight-flight reflex. allows a good night's sleep for one thing.
Fake-yawning seems to help a bit, too
So interesting. I love the connection between body and mind.
Yes! So wild and wonderful.
Am taking away many worthy insights from this amazing conversation. Thank you so much.
Our pleasure!
Such a beautiful conversation! Thank you so much for all you have shared, Dr. Levine. 🙏💗 What a hopeful message!
We're so glad!
No one can know what happens in death outside of their own because it's unique to the individual. And since we're forever expanding, there's no limit to the number of experiences.
After the last breath, what unfolds is not repeatable.
No beginning, no end.
I’m a believer. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for joining!
What a great interview!! I enjoyed every word Peter Levine said. It was very, very inspirering and I'm going to read his books.
Thank you!
