my anxiety is geared towards the fear of totalitarianism and mandates, control, I've had no fear of the virus
Love the way how he tried to stop the music, but everytime it started he had to listen again and smiled.
I love speaking about the hard part of taking ourselves in our body. I couldnt imagine when started to work in my PTSD how hard it is to go out of thinking mind into body, to drop. We are so oriented to minds and thinking and we belive that that is us. I was using all mind strategies to heal myself from some deep feeling of fear, lonlliness and abondonment. It was so contraproductive, and Im so greatfull that in oast two years I started to use only body oriented practicies with therapist, and it is going bumpy and it is a life of work, but it is better than CBT or some other aproach. Thank you for youre great understanding and work. I would give Peter like Nobel prize for his life work because he helped humanity to heal for real.
This was much needed, also wanted to point out that racial trauma was not acknowledged and I wish to the Gods that it was mentioned at least once, since we are living through a public health crisis and also a racial -trauma-crisis. I also want to acknowledge all of the indigenous cultures that Dr. Levine have learned from and created somatic experiencing modality with his travels.
Thanks for drawing attention to this omission and acknowledging the work and healing sources of Indigenous people.🙏🏾
Ah, Peter, you are so authentic. No fool making here. In fact, if more of us became more like children in our energetic selves, we would be more free. Thanks for helping us all.
Dr. Levine, your contribution to the health of people is immeasurable; thank you for your dedication, concern, and love for all.
Thank you again Dr. Levine for sharing your knowledge. I will utilize those exercises with my clients. I am following all your videos. I work with Clients who experienced many traumas during their life.
Peter Levine is THE COOLEST
Love what you say about 'social distancing', Dr. Levine. Absolutely, we are social beings!
Thank you for this video. It helped me today to handle my anxiety and release some muscle tension stored mostly in my shoulders.
I really would like to hear what Dr. Levine has to say❤He is a genius n in a category ofbhis own. Somatic Experiencing is where true healing happens!
Tahnks! Jeffrey and Peter
Thank you so much! I have learned a lot from all of you, but specially from Dr. Levine
Thank you so much for sharing such valuable and helpful information. A lot of respect and admiration from me to you 💕🙏⭐️
Why is the second exercise making me cry rn. Wow
Peter Levines work has helped me in too many ways to even conceive, my energetic adopted father x
A gentle, healing approach--encouraging self-love.
Thank you for this video.❤
Beautiful techniques
WOW! Thank you so much for posting this video, specifically acknowledging the impact of COVID 19
i have had to do all this work myself was doing well & more trauma feeling better everyday but it’s not easy with the mind though more aware than ever❤️✊🏼✨
That vibration in the body is also a spiritual raising of vibration. Krishna Das has a UA-cam video called RHADE GOVINDA, and if you sing it ( write down what the words "sound like" even though you don't understand what the words mean. It's beautifully healing, to put it on ENDLESS LOOP setting and keep singing it. You can FEEL THE VIBRATION deep in your lungs.
After doing this for several days, I had an amazing spiritual experience. So cool. Try it. The vibration from saying VUIUU, or Rhade Govinda, etc the vibration that is literally FELT inside of the body, is so healing.

Please give us a hint about where the music came from - it was gorgeous. Thank you!
Agree 100%!
emotional morse code - wonderful!
excellent shari g
Can you please share the Swiss Alpin horn and yodeling musicians Peter Levine played in this video? It was very healing.
I cried
did we ever find out the track name?
If anyone finds it, I would love to know. I tried but couldn’t come up with anything.
We have lived with daily fear before. In the 50s, we were constantly fearful of nuclear annihilation. We prepared for it in school. We did not prepare for it at home; there was no way. We could not protect ourselves. We hoped, we prayed. It worked. We are meant to survive. We are meant to evolve into a new level of connection with consciousness. Accentuate the positive.
Guided gentle Somatic movements regulate the nervous system.
I really want to do the course. Your teaching resonates with me. I've done a lot of trauma work but feel stuck currently. Some of the things you've said have given me a fresh perspective. I believe the 9 month course will be life changing! Thank you for your work
Where can one find the Alpin Horn audio file he plays?
Where can I find that beautiful Alp Horn song!!??
My depression hit me like a shot it hit me hard and total break down can’t stop myself from crying everyday
I hope you're feeling better now.❤
The are not practitioners in Madrid, Spain ?
❤️❤️❤️
What's the NAME OF THE ALPINE HORN SINGERS/ ALBUM ?
Starts 6:05
Why does the alpin horn make me cry 😭
🧡💙🙏
qi gong
Funny how psychiatry is mimicking spirituality now. Complete 180. About Fing time.
Is there any scientific evidence that this helps?
Me. I've been doing it for 2 years v 23 years of psychotherapy and I have healed more in 2 years than the 23 years of psychotherapy.
@@ohgawd Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@ohgawd wow!! That is amazing
@@ohgawd can I ask if you have any resources to share for how to do somatic work other than just these moves in the video? I’ve been searching and it’s hard to find.
Yodelling? Really?
Mistitled. This is about regular people having a bit of trouble because of Covid, and some fun activities to do with your kids, not how to self-soothe actual trauma.
12:10 and 30:00 The voo exercise self holding moving and skipping Peter talked about a number of techniques bc
another self soothing during actual trauma is to lay down, hands over and behind head to open heart, then look to the right and wait ... you will yawn or sigh in under 2.5 minutes, and feel better. repeat if necessary. somthing about the eye looking to the right, cuts off the feedback loop of stress. I saw it on a YT video yesterday from a somatic therapist.
@@CarolBlaneyPhD I don’t find that works for me personally, I’ve done it with my somatic therapist and several times on my own. It actually increased my stress. But it’s a nice simple fast technique. It’s great that it works for a lot if people!
@@twilit yeah there are a couple, you’re right. They did nothing for me so I didn’t really realize they were actual exercises that I should expect an improvement with, I guess. Was expecting something a little more obvious. 🤷♀️
Hopefully, once my body comes down to a slightly calmer state, these exercises will work better as a sort of maintenance type thing. The somatic stuff I’m doing has been helping so I’m hoping it won’t be too long before it gets to the level described here. :) 🤞🏽
@@tiiaj7589 Hi, I'm trying to find what you refer to, techniques for more intense situations. I have a family member who keeps 'being put on' antipsychotic meds, yet this person only has this 'chaotic brain overload' situation occasionally. I wanted to try to find some methods that could work in really difficult stress moments when this person is alone and without any help or family nearby. I feel that is a better solution than daily meds which mess with biology...
( any suggestions would be appreciated) :D
(so far my best advice for this person is to have a 'pill' handy for those emergencies but what if you are out of pills. ) another approach might be a CBD:THC 1: 1 vape pen handy but not sure if that helps in dire situations.
Too much introduction!!!
