This video explains exactly what life feels like. And yes the thoughts this will never end keeps happening. This all feels very contracted and physical
Frozen soup ball is such a good analogy , feels like something numb , calloused and solid but the outer edges can be melted with focus so that it can be tasted and digested a little thus shrinking it a little and on and on. I feel like this soup ball has an actual corresponding physical component in a ball of tightly knotted fascia/soft tissue . The body mirroring the contraction and resistance of the mind . As the soup ball melts the body feels more pliant and moves more naturally. Makes me think of what Frank Yang said refarding the process ; the body is solid , then liquid, then gas , then its not there at all.
I don't know what it feels like after the first shift because I haven't had a shift yet but I would add a great somatic modality and that is fascia maneuvers. Human garage is great and it's free. They're in TH-cam, they have an app, and a website. I've been doing it and I would think it helps because it's kinda in the same ballpark as yoga and tre.
That part about pure sensation! I often have no label but "ick" and what that points to varies but on we go. I keep hoping for that redemptive love to start shining.
Wow, how timely. After a long stretch of opening more and more and just feeling endless freedom and peace, in the past week suddenly my whole sensory field feels like it's just on fire and trembling and spewing stress hormones. At first felt like some strange anxiety or fear that I couldn't get any read on what it was about, but now just feels like my whole energy field buzzing and frying. Definitely a relief to just let it be sensation and not try to look for the story of it, just take it purely at face value in the moment. Less disturbing and unpleasant, still full on though. What felt like a totally empty space now feels like there's a giant forest fire right in the middle of it that just keeps burning. Thanks for this vid, checking out TRE now. 🙏
🙏 So much energy so much love something needed to hear this energy slow. Put on play back speed at .075 felt like butter going on to bread just have to digest it all. Thank you for sharing your gift of understanding what we all are. Along with how to find out for your self.🕉
Im reliving all of my childhood traumas very intensly now thanks to gettin carried away with Kundalini. It used to be I would feel a little at a time but this year I decided I wanted to heal faster and boy was I biting off alot. 5 and a half months of literal hell. Should I do more Kundalini and torcher myself or just let things play out? Im ready to not suffer anymore 😂
I went through this a couple years ago and I think it was worth it! I had a period of time and a quiet location I could hang out without interruption. I’m grateful to have gone through it and be done with it. Life on the other side is so much lighter! 🙏🏻😘💞
@@jannaday3299 If you get an equal amount of light as you do darkness during the healing phase Im gonna be glowing even during the day when I come out 🤣
Same story here! It took almost 2 years of daily kundalini "work" to be free of, let's call it the "capital T trauma." Boy was that a trip, but well worth it. The hardest part was seeing that so many of my life's "failures" were direct results of impressions, limiting beliefs, and pains from childhood that were never processed. But now that "I" am free of much of it, life is so much sweeter.
I'm several years in working with kundalini i'd say befriend the energy, it is trying to help you heal. The middle way is the best way, do the work, take breaks as needed, integrate and ground as needed. Accept and allow and take care of yourself, much love to you on this wild ride✨
Same here. 10 months of intense kundalini. I heard someone a few months ago say to “go lightly”. This made a big difference and I believe it is the middle way. It’s also before the kundalini arises. Hard to explain, but stepping back a bit and going lightly brought me to a place of complete inner peace. If kundalini arises, I know I need take a step back. ❤
After (and during) the last AOL retreat I remember feeling as though I had this big egg shaped lump in my stomach and in my throat. It was so intense that I’d feel nauseous. At the time I was relatively new to this whole thing. I didn’t think I’d been suppressing anything at the time. I could easily acknowledge all the trauma that I’d experienced. However I’d never felt it the way I do now. At the end of the retreat you suggested TRE. Since then I’ve been going to PT as well. Both , in their own way have been helpful. Thank you Angelo.
I'm so glad to hear about chakra-feelings! I feel my heart and throat chakra all the time while inquiring and doing shadow work. Could you speak more about these feelings?
Recently I have changed my mind about non-duality I always felt like I had to fix something and I was desperate and angry. I thought I could fix my problems with understanding spirituality. But recently I just felt like oh there’s nothing I can do about it. Kinda like there’s nothing to fix and the emotional problems started to go away. Very counter intuitive 😂
I haven't "woke up" yet. However, the journey down into the body sensations and contractions is the path I have been lead to (or dragged to kicking and screaming). These sensation have been so intense over the decades that one of the main thoughts throughout my life were those of suicide. It was pure agony. I have learned to stop fighting and hating the sensations, and instead sit and welcome them; breath into them; hold them like a wounded child. Perhaps the feelings are from being over two months premature and being placed in an incubator for three months. They say that I cried and screamed so intensely that I developed a double hernia from screaming and pneumonia from lungs not yet ready to breath. I was released from the hospital to be taken home to die. There is no thoughts or emotions that arise with intimate contact with the deep and intense sensations; perhaps just pure trauma from an infant with no language or concepts to share. This work is teaching me how to love. How to even appreciate the agony that made the seeking and deepening into life possible. Thank you, Angelo, for your work. This video really hits home.
Angelo, do you think emotion work can be done primarily through the somatic aspect (aides by the practices such as TRE and such) through pure feeling of the emotions in the somatic /energetic aspect (as in the Hawkin's 'Letting go' approach) rather than engaging in the narratives in the mind relating to the emotions? Or only somatic experiencing and labelling?
I still don't know how to work with the arachnophobia. 🙄😬🕷️🕸️ The whole body has a severe dense energetical discomfort, and sitting with this energy in this summer heat is hell. The whole body burns in patches and it's full with red blisters and eruptions. Intuitively working, moving the body, shaking, jumping has relieved a little bit the symptoms. Thanks so much for this video, synchronicity is mind-blowing. 🙏♥️🤗 P. S Watering the plants it's not always a blissful experience.. It's full with spiders. 😂🤣 And merging intimately with a spider.. 👀😱🤣😂😳
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake In childhood when a spider bite has made a swollen rash on my arm. Every phisical and visual contact with a spider or bug since then instantaneously makes a huge energy rush in the body, tingling, kundalini type movements rushes, sometimes the energy climbes in the head. Sometimes it transforms in complete bliss in the whole body, sometimes remains stuck and it can't be dissolved or integrated. 🙄😳🥺The energy movements are huge since two days. I saw a big spider on the wall in the bed room and since then the discomfort its unbearable. I sit in zazen, move and shake the body, it's continuous work with these big block if fear. Thank you soooo much for the guidance. 🙏🤗❤️

Is it okay to do this kind of work before any kind of initial awakening? I’m doing EMDR, IFS and TRE. I’m finding regulating my nervous system seems to help too. I seem to be able to go to the places I need to go to work through this when my parasympathetic nervous system kick in. When in flight, fright, freeze or fawn, I’m either in my head or I shut down. I haven’t had any initial awakening. All the doubts and not trusting myself due to past trauma kicks in and I feel I’ve got a bit to work through before I can trust myself to let go. I know these thoughts are an illusion, but they feel like they are very strong.

The title of this video made me giggle! I've got really nothing to add except that!

Thanks Joel. I love exploring fascia and these folks look great

in awareness and work with emotional content, I can recommend the sedona method
so curious what its like "on the other side"
