“My question is about following your impulse. I totally understand the idea behind it, but I also know that in meditation, like Vipassana for instance, it is being said to sit and let the sensations come up and dissolve, instead of acting on them. For instance, an urge to move your leg, that will finally go away. I know you practice Vipassana as well, so how do you relate to this? What to do in a Vipassana retreat, follow my impulse or not?

“I have some pretty significant preverbal shock trauma. When I have built enough capacity to release this, what might it look like? Can it come on without warning? Might it bring me to my knees? Since it’s preverbal, knowing what I know from my experience with psychedelics, will it be messy, and childish, and confusing? I guess I’m just curious if it might come out of nowhere and resemble having to, like, go to the bathroom really badly and not being able to hold it

When you’ve been in some phase of freeze to a degree for your entire life, and start to come out of it a little bit, how do you resist the temptation to use all the energy and become an empty tank again? I accidentally did this after my first round. Both you and Irene had warned us, but I didn’t realize I was doing it, and now I’m running on empty again. I felt alive and awake for the first time in a decade, and it was so exhilarating to use my newfound energy.

“In my first few weeks of life, my mother did not produce enough milk, and I frequently passed out from starvation.” That’s intense, so yeah. Anybody, if you may notice something in your own system responding to that, just be aware, and think about your seat, and your feet, and your environment. “Now after finishing SBSM 11 last week, I realized that this may be why I’ve been a sugar addict and a binge eater for five decades.” Yes. I would say you are 100% right. “I pay attention to when the urge to binge arises and any emotional and physiological sensations as early as possible, but there’s been no shift. Are there specific neurosensory exercises I should focus on to release this unhealthy external resource?” Wow.

My lower turbinates of the nose were removed during a surgery. This sometimes leads to what is called empty nose syndrome years later where the nerves of the nose get damaged so the person can’t feel the sensation of breathing anymore. People who have ENS are always stressed and tense as they feel they are suffocating, even though the air is coming in normally. Any tips or advice on how to protect the nerves and the nerve endings of the nose from such a condition?

I suffer chemical trauma resulting in chronic rhinitis having grown up in a war zone. I heard Irene talking about it in a Q&A, so I already ordered some Zeolite Body Detox Extra. I try to get sunlight as much as I can, and I’m looking into body dowsing. Is there any other guidance for this mysterious type of trauma?

Can you please talk about working with resistance? I’ve read and watched Irene’s articles and videos on resistance several times, but it would help to hear more about it. For example, I had a breakthrough where for about a week I finally could feel the ground under me with my body. And not just from the perspective of noticing it with my mind, but now my system is totally resisting doing more of that. How do I feel into the resistance?
