09. I’m still a little skeptical. Help?

By |2022-09-11T20:10:09-07:00September 10th, 2022||

A little skepticism and confusion around the whole concept and approach of nervous system healing is normal. For most people this is new information! So new, groundbreaking and revolutionary, that it hasn’t yet made it into medical schools and the majority of other trainings. Many medical and health care professionals remain unaware and uneducated in [...]

5. As someone who has struggled with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) for the past decade, I’ve been eager to experiment with this exercise. I experience an array of unpleasant sensations in my gut most days. I’ve completed the exercise four times now. When I do it before bed, I fall asleep within the first five minutes, and wake back up towards the end of the exercise. I’m not sure if this is a freeze state, or if my digestive system is simply needing the rest? When I do it in the morning, I’m able to stay awake, but haven’t noticed an increase in sensations or movement in the gut. If anything, I feel less connected to my gut during the exercise, as if there is a void of sensation. I wonder if there is a way that I can refine this exercise, so that my gut experiences more ease and flow?
