I think it matters what sort of movement/work we do, under what circumstance, because I come home from work exhausted physically, often in some kind of pain, and energetically drained, but it’s definitely not the same kind of tired as if I worked hard in my garden all afternoon, for example. After the garden work, I can sleep well. After my paid work at my job, I’m tense, activated in an unpleasant way, and at the same time very shut down and numb. And I do not sleep well.
also, generally speaking office work is straight up more unhealthy in lots of ways compared to gardening work. For example, the artificial lights, EMFs near wireless internet and lots of electronic devices, working alongside stressed people and therefore entraining with them, usually poor quality food or snacks, being not allowed or discouraged to take breaks especially movement breaks (walking, big stretching), and to top it off the energy of hating having to spend energy doing something one isn't passionate about. Just commenting that there are lots of additional factors that usually computer work comes with that adds to the drainage!
@@frogjackethuman781 True about office work! I don’t do office work, myself. My job entails working directly with customers, handling and moving lot of heavy objects, and walking fast on a concrete floor, all day long. So, the exercise is real, it just isn’t the right sort. It tends to create a lot of tension and stress in my body, probably primarily due to my work environment.
Oh yeah, big time. I had a desk job for years and it was extremely hard on my body. Much pain and it always felt stressed and tense. Couldn't sleep. Now I do firewood, which is the polar opposite. Fresh air and basically weight training every day. I get pretty cheered up and I am quite fit these days. I still can't sleep worth a damn but the rest is good.
@@erstwhile3793 Oh yeah, jobs like that are so taxing. Retail is tough. I have been a cleaning lady before and it's similar. Scurrying around all day like a bug on a light at night. I would just feel thrashed after and didn't feel like i had exercise at all.
There's truth here. I used to get into debates with an ex about desk work not being as "hard" as his work because it was not as obviously physical. I think what people who don't do this type of work don't fully understand is the act of sitting for such long stretches is actually very hard on the body as is the feeling of being confined to a space/cubicle while being bombarded with stressful events of all ilks and feeling like there's no way to "escape." Our deeper brains don't realize there is no danger even though it's the modern equivalent of the Tyrannosaurus Rex coming at you.
I had this type of debilitating insomnia and exhaustion for 5 years. The association with my bed was so bad that lying down would give me panic attacks or a massive hit of adrenaline. This type of work helped up to a point, but I would still wake up in the middle of the night multiple times, and it would be almost impossible to get back to sleep. The biggest help with that came from, avoiding during the afternoon and evening, any types of sweet foods, stimulants, carbs, starches, or anything that will cause a delayed rise in cortisol (eg. licorice root). I think this is a common cause of people having a tumultuous sleep. For a time it even helped to stay away from fats in the evening, as my body struggled to break them down. Today I'm still sensitive but can manage my sleep without so doing being so restrictive. A lot of it was mental, but also a lot of it was also knowledge about what I was putting inot my body and how my body would react to it, even when the effects were so delayed. And the body will wake the mind if it is struggling.
What are some examples of your favorite evening meals/snacks if we need to cut all those foods out? I don't eat meat & technically vegetables are carbs, lol, so I'm probably overthinking this & a little nudge in the right direction based off what has worked for you could be helpful.
@@BeaLucile You may want to avoid carbs and sugars and you're left with more fatty foods. I like nuts, maybe with some dark chocolate but not too much. Or tahini, or humus, with some vegetables. Egg. Avocado.
I never heard of sleep therapy until I got into one. I had to have a sleep diary & literately create a better relationship with my bed :'D My average sleep was calculated and we had a goal to sleep x amount of minutes and hours a week and work my way up slowly to healthy sleep hours. I feel like the therapy is actually helping me. I was super surprised. I deal with chronic pain. But I do use sleep meds, so I hope I can use less of the meds in the future.
@@BeaLucilethe idea of reducing carbs, caffeine etc is an excellent one but in fact, some butter and bread helps me best. Good butter is a fat and the digestive system is aided with food fats. I sleep best when I eat a few portions of asparagus in the early evening. Asparagus is what ashwaganda is made of. It is high in magnesium. Or During the day I eat dandelion salad tossed with just garlic, olive oil and lemon. But the most important thing in being in touch with my inner child and inner worrywort. I listen to them, I tune in. Because they are what is driving the nervous energy. You can watch ans listen to a million educational videos but none of them will beat your own attention to your inner primal self. 😉
From experience, I agree. I have been more in tune with my body and will do certain activities based on what energy I need to release. Sometimes it’s boxing if I have a high angry energy and other times it’s walking, dancing, or moving my limbs around. Having one hand on my sacral and the other hand on my heart chakra in bed also really helps calm my body. It’s almost as if I am helping the energy shift around and not stay stagnant.
I absolutely love this! I agree on all points. I will also add it’s important to also look at mineral deficiencies like B complex and b6 which is an upregulater of GABA, magnesium preferable a glycinate version, gut issues come into play and even as they can regulate the nervous system from within parasites. Nasal breathing over mouth breathing, dreams can also massively trigger Ctsd and PTSD without even being aware of it, as the mind try’s to heal from that trauma. Nervous system work is the biggest piece by far, however these all need to be addressed also (as Irene states anyway) I have felt and seen with patients that once their body actually goes into a form of “rest” the NS wakes up “WE GOT TO RUN FROM THIS LION RIGHT NOW” With a surge of adrenaline.
After a recent limerent experience triggered old CPTSD wounds I've been having trouble getting sleep. I find myself waking up after only two or three hours.
Exactly the same when triggered into flashbacks - which sadly can last from hours to weeks (even months at the start of my healing). Fortunately it does settle when my NS does, which is a lot quicker than it used to. So much of the trauma was so deeply unconscious I'm still discovering buried pieces that set off the cycle again.
Irene, thank you. I'm an SBSM alum. Andy's question could have been me talking. I was completely with you until the part about tiring yourself out physically. Why is it that even with walking 20000 steps I still cannot sleep? It seriously makes no difference or, if anything, exercise makes it worse as I get physically uncomfortable and then fidget.
Ha, I have the same question. Very active but need to preserve my energy for farm work so the act of a daily HIIT workout just to destroy myself for a good night's sleep is out of the question for me. I do work out though, if I have time!
Carolina, do you feel the SBSM helped you a lot or are you still experiencing the same struggles you had before the program? I'm considering it, but am on the fence. And also I too have your same sleep issues that so far haven't been helped by physical activity (though maybe I should try different kinds).
@@BeaLucileI've done SBSM for a long time, it is probably worth it if you know you will study the material a lot and use it. I am helped from it but it has been a long way towards better health and I still have ways to go but it is a good support system and good knowledge.
This is me Irene 🙋🏻♀️ I was making some improvements but the last 6 months it’s gotten worse. This happened after an exacerbation of my cptsd at work 😢
Interesting points. I relate to what Andy says about the "to do list" to be able to sleep. I am alumn of SBSM and I still tend to "do" the exercises rather than to "embody" then, I guess my overachiever A-type mind gets in stressing the system more..any advice?
this is how i have felt all day every day for over two decades. chronic fatigue with a debilitating racing mind. i feel so alone in this. feels like cortisol/adrenaline 24/7. can be severe or moderate all the time. literally. my mind doesn't shut off. ever. naps cant happen which is awful and at night even if im asleep my mind doesnt shut off. anyone else? this video is helpful information. on my healing journey and i am starting to work somatics into the mix. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@stephaniecoffee447, Jen here from Irene's Team. Living with non-stop high sympathetic activation can be intense and exhausting, sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this for so long. It's good to hear that you're adding some somatic-based approaches into the mix. I'll share some links to some of Irene's other resources in case you want to check them out.

@@andybreedlove thank you for asking, I've been seeing more shifts, thankfully. I've been tending to my trauma/emotions as best as I can and adding in some somatic practices to help my body know we are safe.
Literally me lol. We won't heal stress or trauma by using our mind, we have to go into the body. This is the key I think and I will be going down this rabbit hole now lol . 😆
I stay up literally ALL NIGHT. Take Ambien ER and I’m still wide awake. When the sun comes up around 6-ish, I begin to feel sleep and will sleep until 8:55 am to get up to start WFH. I’m miserable.
I'm similar. It's been that way my whole life. I know why in my case, nights weren't safe for me, that's when so many bad things happened and I never felt safe to sleep until it was light outside because it was only then that I knew nobody was coming to take me out of the house for trafficking purposes. Now, because "it's only safe to sleep when it's light" has been baked in so deep, it's very difficult to rewire.
@@annemurphy8074 I feel so sad reading your story, I'm sorry these things happened to you. I can tell you are a strong person just from your ability to retell a bit about your past❤
I had been in the same way for many years and it took many years of supported through it, and to gradually undo it to get back to mostly normal. I hope you find the support you need, so that you can do the same for yourself. It's a horribly traumatic thing to go through, and even worse if we don't have good financial and social supports around us. ❤️
I understand. Me too. I'm awake alll night, then when dawn comes and the birds start to sing, it's like my body goes off guard and then I sleep from around 5-8am. It sucks. Sorry I can't suggest anything.. just wanted to let you know you are not alone.
I find the days I don't move or do alot I sleep better. I think this is because my cortisol wasn't elevated through the day. ANY physical movement of any kind through the day causes increased inflammation and nerve pain by bedtime. I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to heal!
Hi Julie, Seth here with Team Lyon. Everything you describe is indicative of unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation. IF you haven't tried this work yet, I highly recommend getting into it! The 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up is the best way to start... www.nstuneup.com/
Thoughts on edibles before bed, as a stop gap? In regards to the Edgar Cayce excerpt, I'm active all day because I live/work at my homestead/dairy, most days I can squeeze a workout in but I organically get about 17ksteps/day. I've been a light sleeper all my life and teased for going to bed at 8 just in order to wind down, hoping for my brain to shut off.
(from a handbook to a biohacker) Eat two hours before going in bed(meat 4h before)(1-2h before: rice, banana, pumpkin seeds, turkey, chicken, eggs, nuts, whole grains, lentils, sesamy/sunflower seeds, white fishes, avocado. Because they have calsium&B6-vitamin that help raising up tryptofan(prestate of serotin&melatonin) Carbs are best to eat at the end of the day Magnesium(citrate 400mg) adds amount of deep sleep and lowers cortisol levels Spoon of organic honey to fill up glykogen storages in liver.

Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. This would be a great question for the members' area where our moderators can offer guidance and support on how to sleep better. I hope this helps.
I know why I am not getting enough sleep, I am on stimulant for ADD and I have a ragdoll cat that wakes me before 6, the medication is a new one and feels stronger and more addictive, I am at a point today 30 November '23 where I am so tired I can hardly function; listening to Irene I have to wean down and try to get off this med, as I can't go on like this, if I don't take this stuff I know I'll sleep through my cat's meowing, I wish my psychiatrist had never offered me this Vivanse, as it has really been a problem, I was fine on dexamphetamine! I am very driven, when I went into city other day my nervous system went crazy with all the noise and massive crowds of people! Thanx!❤😂😂😂
I can’t sleep due to overreacting nervous system and CFS , I can’t do sports, without crashing, how would someone like me do ‚physical activity‘ to sleep, seems absurd
Bailey here from Team Lyon. At this time, we do not offer a discount for the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up, however, we do offer a payment plan option (3 payments of $105). Also, if you decide to enroll in SmartBody SmartMind in the future, the amount you paid for the 21 Day Tune-Up will be deducted from SBSM tuition costs. Hope to see you in the virtual hallways!
@Tinyteacher1111, Jen here from Irene's Team. I'm sorry to hear about your Lyme infection, and that you experience insomnia as a result. Many people with Lymes have found this nervous system work to be an effective part of a broader approach to healing. One of Irene's students, Lisa Dennys, wrote a book about her experience. I'll share a few links in case you want to learn more. Unveiling Lyme disease - www.unveilinglyme.com/
@@IreneLyon Thank you so VERY much! I deeply appreciate the kind words and response! It does affect the central nervous system! I’ve been trying to do as much as I can do from these videos, when I feel well enough to listen, and have watched Peter Levine’s videos “Skip to My Lou” is my favorite!!! Gabor Mate’s work, and especially Irene’s and those with with her husband. I have “The Body Keeps the Score” on Audible because of Sjogren’s dry eyes. I’m 68, and no one believes that I’ve had all these afflictions and complications because I used to really be into herbal medicine, walking, and yoga. Even my new GP believes me, and of course, my Lyme and mold doctor, who is an MD with extensive research and training, and my grown son, who is now in jail for Lyme rage and abusing his father and me (by trying to grab my phone) because of Lyme rage. So, the trauma hit me hard recently. I also grew up in a chaotic home with an alcoholic father, and I was the oldest trying to help my mother, who was stressed, and later, getting my teaching degree and watching my younger sisters. Now, I’ve lost everyone, my fiancé, TONS of money, relationships, friends, and am now the family scapegoat, but too sick to care. I just found out my thyroid levels are low, and so is my iron and blood flow, which is causing pain in my arm that I broke almost a year ago falling off a ladder. It hasn’t healed right because of lack of blood flow. So, I have to pay for work that my fiancé said he’d do. I am completely overwhelmed , in constant pain with joint pain, ADHD, severe depression and HIGH anxiety. I’ve been on supplements for iron, which have helped, and I take organic beef organ supplements for extra protein. I first had BII (breast implant illness), then moved to a condo and got mold toxicity, and now this live Babesia Mycroti and several other antibodies of Lyme co-infections. Lyme doctor said to stay on them. I have been sick with overlapping toxin-based illnesses for 21 years. I’m going to great lengths here explaining this, in hopes it may help someone else. The help I can offer (I wish I had the energy to tutor), my dog and granddaughter, are my reasons for living right now. I’ve always wanted to help people, but this isn’t how I pictured it❣️
I suffer with insomnia and tend to go through a sleep cycle of not sleeping at all one night and then sleeping 4-5 hours the next I’m also seeing a somatic experiencing therapist once per week for an hour session. We are a few months into working together Could it be that I should see my therapist less ? Surely if I’m not sleeping, I can’t be processing the somatic work in between sessions fully Also, I’ve noticed that I find it hard to sleep the eveing of the same day that I have a SE session Any thoughts/advice much appreciated
@Cglay-fw5ti, Jen here from Team Lyon. There are many factors that contribute to sleep, the inability to fall or stay asleep, and the quality of sleep. It's hard to say whether you're doing too much with your SE therapist or not based on that alone. I encourage you to talk to your practitioner about what you're experiencing and work together to make adjustments. If you have a sense that you're doing too much, you might also talk to your practitioner about working in a more titrated way. Irene's work too can be very complementary to working 1-1 with a trained practitioner. You might consider checking out the 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up. It's a self-study course that teaches you the basics of nervous system learning and practice. It can be a great way to get to know your own system and to have more informed conversations with your practitioner. Here's a link in case you want to check it out: 21daytuneup.com/
Thank you that's helpful. I will look for some inspiration in safe movement for one with hip arthrosis. That's a bumper for me. My hip is screaming if i do something too intense but low intensity movement like short walks that doesn't lead to cramping muscles doesn't empty my energy bucked the way i would need to. And a dysregulated nervous system can lead all varietys from not feeling my pain at all high alertness is cutting of all those informations or on the other end of the spectrum pain that intense i need to go in another room to embody a scream without any noise to not scare my child or myself. Sometimes the steam have to be let out.
Can you paddle? Different options that offer different positions, I do stand up paddle board, great way to avtivate balancing and over all body. Especially with waves...😃

SaudadeCB - Mara here from Team Lyon. There is evidence of epigenetic changes that develop due to stress or life experience and get passed through the generations.
I wonder why the activation before sleep happens even when my body is physically exhausted from hard garden work. And I guess the only way to learn about the somatic OBI WAN KENOBE-IING is only in the expensive courses, is there a way for poor people to figure it out?
Hi Marie, Seth here with Team Lyon. Activation can happen before sleep even if we have exhausted ourselves, if there is stored up survival stress in the system - that does not go away with exercise. There are many way s to get started for free, I'll put some links below to Irene's free resources. Unfortunately, at this point on our planet though a person will usually have to pay for some kind of professional support in order to fully heal.

@@cecilyerker exactly I have heard that most traumas or geberatiobal "curses" are passed down. So even if for instqnce I have not been through any trauma, but e.g. my father has qnd it's not healed, that will be passed down to me, so i am raised with a broken view or behaviour or beliefs about certqin thing, due to his experience, unless i too vreak from that and walk my own path. My understanding is that unf we inflict suffering onto others or experience suffering inevitably, even if one tries one's best to be the best parebt, person, partner etc. Maybe it helps us go be more forgiving, ppl learnas they go & grow....even in this age even if there's knowledge everywhere to access, most ppl are dead tired to learn or fix their problems. Back in the day, what was accessible was through TV & library, books. But more ppl had less stress & more family time. Now most are alone & stressed....this malfunctions ppl
Layla Scott: With my very limited knowedge and never having studied the conception of reincarnation and karma, thus lacking the fundament to have an actual opinion about it, I don't believe that we lived past lives. I don't know what is implied by the term and nobody should take my opinion and comment seriously. From this standpoint, my humble hypothesis is that our traumas can't come from what I limitledely believe Irene Lyon meant by "past lives", since my materialistic world view is, that we are (only) a physical body without (post-and) pre-existence and life. My denial of traumas from past lives, comes from my belief that the existance of our personalities is all there is, was and will be.
Trans generational trauma used to be thought of as something that was passed down from one generation to the next, exclusively through behavior; ie., by grandfather repressed his emotions, never expressed warmth and affection to my father, and now my own father behaves similarly toward me, and I am learning to repress my emotions, and feel insecure about connection/affection, etc. . A simplistic example, but that was the model, prior to the now generally accepted evidences around how DNA is modulated via epigenetic influences. Now, research has demonstrated that my grandfathers trauma in WWII, for example, could have modified the expression of both his DNA, and the DNA he passed on to my father, which, in turn, affects the DNA I inherit, which can affect everything from systemic resilience to stressors, gut function, immune vitality, reproductive viability, etc. . As for “past lives”, there are many ways to define what that phrase even means, and it’s important to be sure that any two people discussing the question of “past lives” have some shared definition to work with. Otherwise, you could end up arguing about apples and oranges without even realizing it. That being said, if you’re genuinely curious about the question, “is there such a thing as re-incarnation”, you might look up the work of Dr Ian Stevenson at University of Virginia School of Medicine, which is being carried on currently by other researchers, since Dr Stevenson’s passing. His research over decades was so impeccably structured, and followed such rigorous scientific standards, that it has caused even professionals who can’t get onboard with the “paranormal” at all, to tip hats and agree that something definitely is going on in this area. Stevenson spent decades following up on what has been found to be a surprisingly common phenomenon; very young children who claim to remember being another person, in another life. The verifiable evidences Stevenson compiled include finding the persons the children name and going to the addresses they recite, and discovering the facts they describe about that person’s life are indeed factual. Whether you want to think that human consciousness includes multiple incarnations in some fashion, or that perhaps there’s some kind of collective consciousness these kids are somehow tapping into, and perceiving the lives of other humans who have deceased, or if you just think it’s all impossible, Stevenson’s work is a fascinating read. Personally, I don’t know what to think of it. Stevenson himself, a dedicated scientist, didn’t either. I agree with him, though, that something is definitely going on that warrants more curiosity and investigation, since we still haven’t cracked this human well-being code.
Bailey here from Team Lyon. Irene's interview with Janet Raftis has some references, and discussion about past lives. Here is the link if you are interested in digging deeper into this topic: th-cam.com/video/bNQf_ItVxfU/w-d-xo.html.
@@IreneLyon I have watched ten minutes so far and found not even a mention of evidence, just a lot of claims. Are you able to tell a specific timestamp for it, or is it just more of the same? My concern here is that mixing baseless claims, that can be easily disproved; with actual understanding of emotions, can lower the spread of healing and understanding of emotions. How many people might bounce off things like that, while they could have benefited from stuff that might actually raise emotional intelligence?
Look people are stressed can we just get to the point and help! I just hear education and nothing else I actually have not learned a thing on how to help my system from you other then how it all works bla bla bla. Just give me the method what do I do!
Bailey here from Team Lyon. It's great to hear that you're ready to get started, Sharan! The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up is a great place to put this education into practice.

I apologise about that comment - I am actually doing the 21 day tuneup. It’s kinda helping but it will take time I guess sleep is still a major issue. I just had a major operation two weeks ago that did not help. My nervous system is super stressed.
Despite mentioning past lives, Irene Lyon disregards our spirit, divine higher I, as well as our organ (dys)functions other than those of the nervous system(s) and also the etheric life-force body. Is this done on purpose within only her range of training and knowledge, to promotingly lead us only towards her courses to get money? I am disheartened that she would not give me a course alone and bestolen despite such a uniquely long-term torture-situation and unmanagebly ill state. In spite of not being a Christian, she still gives an impression of caring empathically about vulnerable people. Is this mostly only to promote money-making? What if the manifesting sleep-stopper in that man is psychosomatically stagnated Liver-energy and clogged bile-ducts with (auto)toxicity? Or does IL's help include those functions?
Irene is working from her expertise which is Somatic Release Therapy. She can't work "alone" with everyone, no matter how much they've suffered. She offers so much for free that is very useful and at the same time, of course she makes money as this is her career and she has to be paid for her services.
I don't know much about that topic but it's not a reason for me to unsub. There's a wealth of knowledge on this channel which isn't centered around "past life trauma"
@@joolsjeffery3939 newage gibberish. 'mind viruses'. i wa sin this place, Buddhist for 20+ years, knew Hinduism, and returned to Catholic Church, which has best knowledge about spiritual world, really knows God.
I think it matters what sort of movement/work we do, under what circumstance, because I come home from work exhausted physically, often in some kind of pain, and energetically drained, but it’s definitely not the same kind of tired as if I worked hard in my garden all afternoon, for example. After the garden work, I can sleep well. After my paid work at my job, I’m tense, activated in an unpleasant way, and at the same time very shut down and numb. And I do not sleep well.
also, generally speaking office work is straight up more unhealthy in lots of ways compared to gardening work. For example, the artificial lights, EMFs near wireless internet and lots of electronic devices, working alongside stressed people and therefore entraining with them, usually poor quality food or snacks, being not allowed or discouraged to take breaks especially movement breaks (walking, big stretching), and to top it off the energy of hating having to spend energy doing something one isn't passionate about. Just commenting that there are lots of additional factors that usually computer work comes with that adds to the drainage!
@@frogjackethuman781
True about office work! I don’t do office work, myself. My job entails working directly with customers, handling and moving lot of heavy objects, and walking fast on a concrete floor, all day long. So, the exercise is real, it just isn’t the right sort. It tends to create a lot of tension and stress in my body, probably primarily due to my work environment.
Oh yeah, big time. I had a desk job for years and it was extremely hard on my body. Much pain and it always felt stressed and tense. Couldn't sleep. Now I do firewood, which is the polar opposite. Fresh air and basically weight training every day. I get pretty cheered up and I am quite fit these days. I still can't sleep worth a damn but the rest is good.
@@erstwhile3793 Oh yeah, jobs like that are so taxing. Retail is tough. I have been a cleaning lady before and it's similar. Scurrying around all day like a bug on a light at night. I would just feel thrashed after and didn't feel like i had exercise at all.
There's truth here. I used to get into debates with an ex about desk work not being as "hard" as his work because it was not as obviously physical. I think what people who don't do this type of work don't fully understand is the act of sitting for such long stretches is actually very hard on the body as is the feeling of being confined to a space/cubicle while being bombarded with stressful events of all ilks and feeling like there's no way to "escape." Our deeper brains don't realize there is no danger even though it's the modern equivalent of the Tyrannosaurus Rex coming at you.
I had this type of debilitating insomnia and exhaustion for 5 years. The association with my bed was so bad that lying down would give me panic attacks or a massive hit of adrenaline. This type of work helped up to a point, but I would still wake up in the middle of the night multiple times, and it would be almost impossible to get back to sleep.
The biggest help with that came from, avoiding during the afternoon and evening, any types of sweet foods, stimulants, carbs, starches, or anything that will cause a delayed rise in cortisol (eg. licorice root). I think this is a common cause of people having a tumultuous sleep.
For a time it even helped to stay away from fats in the evening, as my body struggled to break them down.
Today I'm still sensitive but can manage my sleep without so doing being so restrictive. A lot of it was mental, but also a lot of it was also knowledge about what I was putting inot my body and how my body would react to it, even when the effects were so delayed. And the body will wake the mind if it is struggling.
What are some examples of your favorite evening meals/snacks if we need to cut all those foods out? I don't eat meat & technically vegetables are carbs, lol, so I'm probably overthinking this & a little nudge in the right direction based off what has worked for you could be helpful.
@@BeaLucile You may want to avoid carbs and sugars and you're left with more fatty foods. I like nuts, maybe with some dark chocolate but not too much. Or tahini, or humus, with some vegetables. Egg. Avocado.
I never heard of sleep therapy until I got into one. I had to have a sleep diary & literately create a better relationship with my bed :'D
My average sleep was calculated and we had a goal to sleep x amount of minutes and hours a week and work my way up slowly to healthy sleep hours.
I feel like the therapy is actually helping me. I was super surprised. I deal with chronic pain. But I do use sleep meds, so I hope I can use less of the meds in the future.
@@GuidetteExpertGood to hear!
@@BeaLucilethe idea of reducing carbs, caffeine etc is an excellent one but in fact, some butter and bread helps me best. Good butter is a fat and the digestive system is aided with food fats. I sleep best when I eat a few portions of asparagus in the early evening. Asparagus is what ashwaganda is made of. It is high in magnesium. Or During the day I eat dandelion salad tossed with just garlic, olive oil and lemon. But the most important thing in being in touch with my inner child and inner worrywort. I listen to them, I tune in. Because they are what is driving the nervous energy. You can watch ans listen to a million educational videos but none of them will beat your own attention to your inner primal self. 😉
From experience, I agree. I have been more in tune with my body and will do certain activities based on what energy I need to release. Sometimes it’s boxing if I have a high angry energy and other times it’s walking, dancing, or moving my limbs around. Having one hand on my sacral and the other hand on my heart chakra in bed also really helps calm my body. It’s almost as if I am helping the energy shift around and not stay stagnant.
I absolutely love this! I agree on all points. I will also add it’s important to also look at mineral deficiencies like B complex and b6 which is an upregulater of GABA, magnesium preferable a glycinate version, gut issues come into play and even as they can regulate the nervous system from within parasites. Nasal breathing over mouth breathing, dreams can also massively trigger Ctsd and PTSD without even being aware of it, as the mind try’s to heal from that trauma. Nervous system work is the biggest piece by far, however these all need to be addressed also (as Irene states anyway) I have felt and seen with patients that once their body actually goes into a form of “rest” the NS wakes up “WE GOT TO RUN FROM THIS LION RIGHT NOW” With a surge of adrenaline.
After a recent limerent experience triggered old CPTSD wounds I've been having trouble getting sleep. I find myself waking up after only two or three hours.
Me 2
Exactly the same when triggered into flashbacks - which sadly can last from hours to weeks (even months at the start of my healing). Fortunately it does settle when my NS does, which is a lot quicker than it used to. So much of the trauma was so deeply unconscious I'm still discovering buried pieces that set off the cycle again.
Thank you Irene ! I’m watching this video just when I needed it ! ❤
Irene, thank you. I'm an SBSM alum. Andy's question could have been me talking. I was completely with you until the part about tiring yourself out physically. Why is it that even with walking 20000 steps I still cannot sleep? It seriously makes no difference or, if anything, exercise makes it worse as I get physically uncomfortable and then fidget.
Perhaps you need to stimulate your nervous system another way, different physical stress the body with different exercise. Challenge yourself! 💛
Ha, I have the same question. Very active but need to preserve my energy for farm work so the act of a daily HIIT workout just to destroy myself for a good night's sleep is out of the question for me. I do work out though, if I have time!
Dancing instead... The walking enviroment change. If possible, try paddling🌅😇
Carolina, do you feel the SBSM helped you a lot or are you still experiencing the same struggles you had before the program? I'm considering it, but am on the fence. And also I too have your same sleep issues that so far haven't been helped by physical activity (though maybe I should try different kinds).
@@BeaLucileI've done SBSM for a long time, it is probably worth it if you know you will study the material a lot and use it. I am helped from it but it has been a long way towards better health and I still have ways to go but it is a good support system and good knowledge.
So sleep deprived and dysregulated can't even finish watching the video! LOL
Just what I needed to hear, thank you
This is me Irene 🙋🏻♀️ I was making some improvements but the last 6 months it’s gotten worse. This happened after an exacerbation of my cptsd at work 😢
This makes so much sense. This is me all over
Interesting points. I relate to what Andy says about the "to do list" to be able to sleep. I am alumn of SBSM and I still tend to "do" the exercises rather than to "embody" then, I guess my overachiever A-type mind gets in stressing the system more..any advice?
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Oh yes perfect timing :)
this is how i have felt all day every day for over two decades. chronic fatigue with a debilitating racing mind. i feel so alone in this. feels like cortisol/adrenaline 24/7. can be severe or moderate all the time. literally. my mind doesn't shut off. ever. naps cant happen which is awful and at night even if im asleep my mind doesnt shut off. anyone else? this video is helpful information. on my healing journey and i am starting to work somatics into the mix. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@stephaniecoffee447, Jen here from Irene's Team. Living with non-stop high sympathetic activation can be intense and exhausting, sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this for so long.
It's good to hear that you're adding some somatic-based approaches into the mix. I'll share some links to some of Irene's other resources in case you want to check them out. The organ work in particular (the Irene talks about in the AFS vlog) can be powerful in growing access to what we call down-regulation.

@@andybreedlove thank you for asking, I've been seeing more shifts, thankfully. I've been tending to my trauma/emotions as best as I can and adding in some somatic practices to help my body know we are safe.
Literally me lol. We won't heal stress or trauma by using our mind, we have to go into the body. This is the key I think and I will be going down this rabbit hole now lol . 😆
I crawl under rocks.
I stay up literally ALL NIGHT. Take Ambien ER and I’m still wide awake. When the sun comes up around 6-ish, I begin to feel sleep and will sleep until 8:55 am to get up to start WFH. I’m miserable.
I'm similar. It's been that way my whole life. I know why in my case, nights weren't safe for me, that's when so many bad things happened and I never felt safe to sleep until it was light outside because it was only then that I knew nobody was coming to take me out of the house for trafficking purposes. Now, because "it's only safe to sleep when it's light" has been baked in so deep, it's very difficult to rewire.
@@annemurphy8074 I feel so sad reading your story, I'm sorry these things happened to you. I can tell you are a strong person just from your ability to retell a bit about your past❤
@@keekeejenkins6162 Thank you.
I had been in the same way for many years and it took many years of supported through it, and to gradually undo it to get back to mostly normal. I hope you find the support you need, so that you can do the same for yourself. It's a horribly traumatic thing to go through, and even worse if we don't have good financial and social supports around us.
❤️
I understand. Me too. I'm awake alll night, then when dawn comes and the birds start to sing, it's like my body goes off guard and then I sleep from around 5-8am. It sucks. Sorry I can't suggest anything.. just wanted to let you know you are not alone.
Thank you very much Irene 💖
Thank you. This was helpful.
I find the days I don't move or do alot I sleep better. I think this is because my cortisol wasn't elevated through the day. ANY physical movement of any kind through the day causes increased inflammation and nerve pain by bedtime. I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to heal!
Hi Julie, Seth here with Team Lyon. Everything you describe is indicative of unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation. IF you haven't tried this work yet, I highly recommend getting into it! The 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up is the best way to start... www.nstuneup.com/
Thoughts on edibles before bed, as a stop gap?
In regards to the Edgar Cayce excerpt, I'm active all day because I live/work at my homestead/dairy, most days I can squeeze a workout in but I organically get about 17ksteps/day. I've been a light sleeper all my life and teased for going to bed at 8 just in order to wind down, hoping for my brain to shut off.
(from a handbook to a biohacker)
Eat two hours before going in bed(meat 4h before)(1-2h before: rice, banana, pumpkin seeds, turkey, chicken, eggs, nuts, whole grains, lentils, sesamy/sunflower seeds, white fishes, avocado. Because they have calsium&B6-vitamin that help raising up tryptofan(prestate of serotin&melatonin)
Carbs are best to eat at the end of the day
Magnesium(citrate 400mg) adds amount of deep sleep and lowers cortisol levels
Spoon of organic honey to fill up glykogen storages in liver. Dont mix with proteins.
Avoid blue lights
Sauna
Icy bath

Thank You I ✨💜💙💚💛🧡💖
Can you do more on sleep Irene I’m really struggling even though I’m doing the 21day tune up. I’d really like support with sleep.
Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. This would be a great question for the members' area where our moderators can offer guidance and support on how to sleep better. I hope this helps.
I know why I am not getting enough sleep, I am on stimulant for ADD and I have a ragdoll cat that wakes me before 6, the medication is a new one and feels stronger and more addictive, I am at a point today 30 November '23 where I am so tired I can hardly function; listening to Irene I have to wean down and try to get off this med, as I can't go on like this, if I don't take this stuff I know I'll sleep through my cat's meowing, I wish my psychiatrist had never offered me this Vivanse, as it has really been a problem, I was fine on dexamphetamine! I am very driven, when I went into city other day my nervous system went crazy with all the noise and massive crowds of people! Thanx!❤😂😂😂
😮I can’t sleep 😴 and I have a work shift in 2 hours 😢
I can’t sleep due to overreacting nervous system and CFS , I can’t do sports, without crashing, how would someone like me do ‚physical activity‘ to sleep, seems absurd
How are you doing now, what’s helped? Have you had any shifts in your ns calming down? I’m in the trap of hypersensitive ns.
Thank you
Yesh i used to but i have exercise intolerance…… im stuck i need to moove
Hello, is there a discount for students for the 21 day course? I really want to do it
Bailey here from Team Lyon. At this time, we do not offer a discount for the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up, however, we do offer a payment plan option (3 payments of $105). Also, if you decide to enroll in SmartBody SmartMind in the future, the amount you paid for the 21 Day Tune-Up will be deducted from SBSM tuition costs. Hope to see you in the virtual hallways!
Ahhh just as I am trying to sleep! 😅
I have serious Lyme infections which cause insomnia.
@Tinyteacher1111, Jen here from Irene's Team. I'm sorry to hear about your Lyme infection, and that you experience insomnia as a result. Many people with Lymes have found this nervous system work to be an effective part of a broader approach to healing. One of Irene's students, Lisa Dennys, wrote a book about her experience. I'll share a few links in case you want to learn more.
Unveiling Lyme disease - www.unveilinglyme.com/
@@IreneLyon Thank you so VERY much! I deeply appreciate the kind words and response! It does affect the central nervous system!
I’ve been trying to do as much as I can do from these videos, when I feel well enough to listen, and have watched Peter Levine’s videos “Skip to My Lou” is my favorite!!! Gabor Mate’s work, and especially Irene’s and those with with her husband. I have “The Body Keeps the Score” on Audible because of Sjogren’s dry eyes. I’m 68, and no one believes that I’ve had all these afflictions and complications because I used to really be into herbal medicine, walking, and yoga. Even my new GP believes me, and of course, my Lyme and mold doctor, who is an MD with extensive research and training, and my grown son, who is now in jail for Lyme rage and abusing his father and me (by trying to grab my phone) because of Lyme rage.
So, the trauma hit me hard recently. I also grew up in a chaotic home with an alcoholic father, and I was the oldest trying to help my mother, who was stressed, and later, getting my teaching degree and watching my younger sisters.
Now, I’ve lost everyone, my fiancé, TONS of money, relationships, friends, and am now the family scapegoat, but too sick to care.
I just found out my thyroid levels are low, and so is my iron and blood flow, which is causing pain in my arm that I broke almost a year ago falling off a ladder. It hasn’t healed right because of lack of blood flow. So, I have to pay for work that my fiancé said he’d do. I am completely overwhelmed , in constant pain with joint pain, ADHD, severe depression and HIGH anxiety.
I’ve been on supplements for iron, which have helped, and I take organic beef organ supplements for extra protein. I first had BII (breast implant illness), then moved to a condo and got mold toxicity, and now this live Babesia Mycroti and several other antibodies of Lyme co-infections. Lyme doctor said to stay on them. I have been sick with overlapping toxin-based illnesses for 21 years.
I’m going to great lengths here explaining this, in hopes it may help someone else. The help I can offer (I wish I had the energy to tutor), my dog and granddaughter, are my reasons for living right now.
I’ve always wanted to help people, but this isn’t how I pictured it❣️
I suffer with insomnia and tend to go through a sleep cycle of not sleeping at all one night and then sleeping 4-5 hours the next
I’m also seeing a somatic experiencing therapist once per week for an hour session. We are a few months into working together
Could it be that I should see my therapist less ? Surely if I’m not sleeping, I can’t be processing the somatic work in between sessions fully
Also, I’ve noticed that I find it hard to sleep the eveing of the same day that I have a SE session
Any thoughts/advice much appreciated
@Cglay-fw5ti, Jen here from Team Lyon. There are many factors that contribute to sleep, the inability to fall or stay asleep, and the quality of sleep. It's hard to say whether you're doing too much with your SE therapist or not based on that alone. I encourage you to talk to your practitioner about what you're experiencing and work together to make adjustments. If you have a sense that you're doing too much, you might also talk to your practitioner about working in a more titrated way.
Irene's work too can be very complementary to working 1-1 with a trained practitioner. You might consider checking out the 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up. It's a self-study course that teaches you the basics of nervous system learning and practice. It can be a great way to get to know your own system and to have more informed conversations with your practitioner. Here's a link in case you want to check it out: 21daytuneup.com/
Thank you that's helpful.
I will look for some inspiration in safe movement for one with hip arthrosis. That's a bumper for me. My hip is screaming if i do something too intense but low intensity movement like short walks that doesn't lead to cramping muscles doesn't empty my energy bucked the way i would need to. And a dysregulated nervous system can lead all varietys from not feeling my pain at all high alertness is cutting of all those informations or on the other end of the spectrum pain that intense i need to go in another room to embody a scream without any noise to not scare my child or myself. Sometimes the steam have to be let out.

This is so me. I’ve been struggling with extreme insomnia for over a decade. It’s ruining my life. Been to a million docs and no one has helped. I move and exercise and nutrition is on point. I’ve recently discovered I’m locked in sympathetic state for years. I’m just about given up hope. I’ve finally landed here. Help
Bailey here from Team Lyon. I am hearing that you have been facing some pretty difficult challenges. I am happy to hear that you have found this work. If you are new here, welcome to the community! 🙂Be sure to check out Irene's New Here? page: irenelyon.com/new-here & A Guide to Your Nervous System (sign up through the New Here page).

Did you ever figure out the insomnia and get out if the sympathetic?
No one is thinking or talking about the frequencies that are being blasted out way now. LED light bulbs, WiFi, 5G towers, frequencies causing weather modifications... look into it.
It would help if you actually knew what you were talking about 🙄
@@jopainting1668 lol.
Did she say past life trauma? Is this some occult new age channel?
SaudadeCB - Mara here from Team Lyon. There is evidence of epigenetic changes that develop due to stress or life experience and get passed through the generations.
I wonder why the activation before sleep happens even when my body is physically exhausted from hard garden work. And I guess the only way to learn about the somatic OBI WAN KENOBE-IING is only in the expensive courses, is there a way for poor people to figure it out?
Hi Marie, Seth here with Team Lyon. Activation can happen before sleep even if we have exhausted ourselves, if there is stored up survival stress in the system - that does not go away with exercise.
There are many way s to get started for free, I'll put some links below to Irene's free resources. Unfortunately, at this point on our planet though a person will usually have to pay for some kind of professional support in order to fully heal. Irene's programs are the most affordable way to do that by far.

Blue light
Very informative, we didn’t live past lives however. Our trauma can’t come from before we existed
Past lives are a religious belief for some people, however I think Irene in this context simply means past events in our lifetime.
@@cecilyerker exactly
I have heard that most traumas or geberatiobal "curses" are passed down.
So even if for instqnce I have not been through any trauma, but e.g. my father has qnd it's not healed, that will be passed down to me, so i am raised with a broken view or behaviour or beliefs about certqin thing, due to his experience, unless i too vreak from that and walk my own path.
My understanding is that unf we inflict suffering onto others or experience suffering inevitably, even if one tries one's best to be the best parebt, person, partner etc.
Maybe it helps us go be more forgiving, ppl learnas they go & grow....even in this age even if there's knowledge everywhere to access, most ppl are dead tired to learn or fix their problems.
Back in the day, what was accessible was through TV & library, books. But more ppl had less stress & more family time.
Now most are alone & stressed....this malfunctions ppl
Layla Scott: With my very limited knowedge and never having studied the conception of reincarnation and karma, thus lacking the fundament to have an actual opinion about it, I don't believe that we lived past lives. I don't know what is implied by the term and nobody should take my opinion and comment seriously. From this standpoint, my humble hypothesis is that our traumas can't come from what I limitledely believe Irene Lyon meant by "past lives", since my materialistic world view is, that we are (only) a physical body without (post-and) pre-existence and life. My denial of traumas from past lives, comes from my belief that the existance of our personalities is all there is, was and will be.
Research trans generational trauma
Trans generational trauma used to be thought of as something that was passed down from one generation to the next, exclusively through behavior; ie., by grandfather repressed his emotions, never expressed warmth and affection to my father, and now my own father behaves similarly toward me, and I am learning to repress my emotions, and feel insecure about connection/affection, etc. . A simplistic example, but that was the model, prior to the now generally accepted evidences around how DNA is modulated via epigenetic influences. Now, research has demonstrated that my grandfathers trauma in WWII, for example, could have modified the expression of both his DNA, and the DNA he passed on to my father, which, in turn, affects the DNA I inherit, which can affect everything from systemic resilience to stressors, gut function, immune vitality, reproductive viability, etc. .
As for “past lives”, there are many ways to define what that phrase even means, and it’s important to be sure that any two people discussing the question of “past lives” have some shared definition to work with. Otherwise, you could end up arguing about apples and oranges without even realizing it. That being said, if you’re genuinely curious about the question, “is there such a thing as re-incarnation”, you might look up the work of Dr Ian Stevenson at University of Virginia School of Medicine, which is being carried on currently by other researchers, since Dr Stevenson’s passing. His research over decades was so impeccably structured, and followed such rigorous scientific standards, that it has caused even professionals who can’t get onboard with the “paranormal” at all, to tip hats and agree that something definitely is going on in this area. Stevenson spent decades following up on what has been found to be a surprisingly common phenomenon; very young children who claim to remember being another person, in another life. The verifiable evidences Stevenson compiled include finding the persons the children name and going to the addresses they recite, and discovering the facts they describe about that person’s life are indeed factual. Whether you want to think that human consciousness includes multiple incarnations in some fashion, or that perhaps there’s some kind of collective consciousness these kids are somehow tapping into, and perceiving the lives of other humans who have deceased, or if you just think it’s all impossible, Stevenson’s work is a fascinating read. Personally, I don’t know what to think of it. Stevenson himself, a dedicated scientist, didn’t either. I agree with him, though, that something is definitely going on that warrants more curiosity and investigation, since we still haven’t cracked this human well-being code.
Pls in videos about sleeping could you use more calm voice. I listen on 0.75 and it s still too intense
"Past life trauma"? Is there any citation for that, or are we mixing baseless beliefs in, to make likely actual info sound less valid?
Bailey here from Team Lyon. Irene's interview with Janet Raftis has some references, and discussion about past lives. Here is the link if you are interested in digging deeper into this topic: th-cam.com/video/bNQf_ItVxfU/w-d-xo.html.
@@IreneLyon I have watched ten minutes so far and found not even a mention of evidence, just a lot of claims.
Are you able to tell a specific timestamp for it, or is it just more of the same?
My concern here is that mixing baseless claims, that can be easily disproved; with actual understanding of emotions, can lower the spread of healing and understanding of emotions.
How many people might bounce off things like that, while they could have benefited from stuff that might actually raise emotional intelligence?
Look people are stressed can we just get to the point and help! I just hear education and nothing else I actually have not learned a thing on how to help my system from you other then how it all works bla bla bla. Just give me the method what do I do!
Bailey here from Team Lyon. It's great to hear that you're ready to get started, Sharan! The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up is a great place to put this education into practice.

I apologise about that comment - I am actually doing the 21 day tuneup. It’s kinda helping but it will take time I guess sleep is still a major issue. I just had a major operation two weeks ago that did not help. My nervous system is super stressed.
Despite mentioning past lives, Irene Lyon disregards our spirit, divine higher I, as well as our organ (dys)functions other than those of the nervous system(s) and also the etheric life-force body. Is this done on purpose within only her range of training and knowledge, to promotingly lead us only towards her courses to get money? I am disheartened that she would not give me a course alone and bestolen despite such a uniquely long-term torture-situation and unmanagebly ill state. In spite of not being a Christian, she still gives an impression of caring empathically about vulnerable people. Is this mostly only to promote money-making? What if the manifesting sleep-stopper in that man is psychosomatically stagnated Liver-energy and clogged bile-ducts with (auto)toxicity? Or does IL's help include those functions?
Irene is working from her expertise which is Somatic Release Therapy. She can't work "alone" with everyone, no matter how much they've suffered. She offers so much for free that is very useful and at the same time, of course she makes money as this is her career and she has to be paid for her services.
'past life trauma'? unsub
I don't know much about that topic but it's not a reason for me to unsub. There's a wealth of knowledge on this channel which isn't centered around "past life trauma"
