      As soon as they pressed a certain area in my lower back, it was like a dam bursting. Such a rush of emotions seemed to burst out.

    Today I was writing in my journal because I was feeling depressed and didn’t get much sleep. I suddenly broke down and had a crying fit to the point where I was hyperventilating and I thought I was losing my mind. I’ve been grieving my dads death and my moms dementia diagnosis. After I let it all out, a wave of calm came over me and I noticed my neck and shoulder pain instantly disappeared. I felt so good afterwards.

      i totally relate to this!! i had this reaction with my first job and it continued the 4 years i had that job. my body remembered the smells and sounds and total environment of that place, so even the slightest trigger or reminder of it would flood me with anxiety. even when i go back to that store now i get the same feeling. i think it’s best to embrace the feeling instead of trying to fight it, and maybe if you have a trusted coworker, confide in them. i find that when i can be honest about how i’m feeling and validate the anxiety, some of it goes away. and of course, releasing your body tension somehow as recommended in this video.

      When I saw the title I wondered if she was going there. I experienced exactly what that bear was doing for half and hour immediately after a chiropractic adjustment two years ago. I had just separated from my wife after thirty years of marriage, and attributed this event to my life-long habit of being an "emotional stuffer". My voice also dropped an octave just before the shaking started, and never returned to its "old" normal pitch. This is the first time I've seen this phenomenon mentioned, and she is the first therapist that I feel could help me. It's difficult to describe how it feels to say that. It may be "safe", but feels very alien to me.

I didn't choose this for myself, I was put through it). But we can't afford to get the help we need to better our lives, as well as those around us. What's the solution to this. Outside of universal healthcare, I can't think of anything else..😅 I also have undiagnosed ADHD. My executive function is nearly disabled. So knowing and doing what should be done, on my own, is so overwhelming that it doesn't get done. Some of us need the structure of a professional to help us dig out of our child trauma holes. So. Anyone have solutions for getting structured professional help without the finances to do so?

      - what's bothering you
      - your thoughts about it (this is what you base your " alternative thought on", below)
      -your emotions
      -now write " alternative thoughts " to the thoughts that you wrote above ... basically an opposite thought to your first original thought...

      Which recently I have been diagnosed (/medically recognized) with DID, which is dissociative identity disorder, which answers questions but leaves many more
      My current therapist is very under qualified to be able to help me (she mainly helps with behavioral things and addictions), cause DID is a cptsd disorder, along with me having other certain mental disorders, then having limited options, it's difficult to get proper help
      But I just wanted to lyk you aren't alone! Dissociation in general and dissociative amnesia is difficult, but you aren't alone at all!

    I have absolutely experienced the sudden outburst of emotions during acupuncture. It’s wild to have such huge emotions pour out, emotions I didn’t even know I had.
    I need to express that, while I know there are competent and well-meaning mental health professionals out there, in 20 years I’ve met a lot of them and not one has helped. Most of them have caused more harm to me and my family. It seems the “good” therapists are the ones on UA-cam (the ones trying to help more people than those who walk in the door with money). Videos like this, along with a spiritual approach to understanding my own trauma, have provided me with the tools to understand my issues and how to overcome them. The mental health profession as a whole is, like other institutions in this country, missing the mark. Thank you so much for making these videos so that people can help themselves when the system fails.

      @Anonymouse I can imagine your struggle and appreciate that you are looking for ways to help your dad, that already is awesome itself. Eventually your dad is right tho, relatives can't actively do something to cure the pain, that's up to your dad and a therapist. It is extremely helpful to know that there is someone you can go to and just pour out your heart and them just listening and giving a shoudler to cry on. The only other thing that really helped me personally is when people offered activities, like going for walks in nature, crafting, watching documentaries, whatever one likes. And by offering I mean offering consitantly and not getting frustrated when I say no, because when I'm depressed I tend to say no 5 times before I say yes because I feel like such a burden. Just friendly and calmly letting your dad know you're there to spend quality time and get some dopamine hits whenever he is ready for it. I hope this helps a little xoxo

      As with most conversations, the amount of talking vs. listening should be about 50/50. If you (or your therapist) is doing most of the talking, then it is not a healthy communication relationship.
      In other words, there are times when you need to pour out your soul. But on average, it should be about equal.
      Plus, the therapist should be helping with problem solving, teaching new ways of thinking, teaching relaxation, giving homework, etc.
      Unfortunately most therapists are just sympathetic parrots. That's ok for some people, but I think it is a waste of my time.

    I know this is an older video but I wanted to share: I am a mom of 7 with a history of past traumas. I’ve suffered for years with post partum depression but I have been too ashamed to admit. I also thought it was my own fault and a decision I was making. I am currently post partum and the depression has been so intense this time that I’ve finally been open to admitting it. My grandmother suffered terribly and was in and out of asylums in the 50’s. She finally took her life when I was six. I think because of her story I am motivated to fight for a better life. I judged her once but now my heart breaks for her as I suffer from the same thing. I’m looking for ways to manage this naturally as I’m breastfeeding and want the best for my baby. One of the things I’ve been doing is light exposure. I make my family breakfast then bundle myself and baby and step outside to get the first rays of sunlight. We live on a farm and this morning my father in law had the radio on in the barn and I could hear it while I walked around. “That old time rock n roll” came on and I realized deep down I was telling myself to stand still. Then I remembered this video and I let myself start dancing a bit with my baby. We rocked and swayed my hips, smiled at my baby and just really got into it. I can be very goofy in general so I did not feel entirely stupid. Plus we live in the middle of nowhere so I knew no one was watching:) as I danced the urge to cry came over me and I did not hold back like I usually do. I’ve lost my dad to cancer, my grandmother to suicide, I’ve lost six babies to miscarriage and I had those hurts held up inside. I just released them. It felt very good and I will keep doing this. For anyone reading, and thank you for taking the time if you do, please know that getting help for mental health is not selfish. It is the best thing you can do for you and society. Strengthening your body, mind and soul makes you better able to serve those around you. So take the time to try this. Admit where you are and find ways to heal. It’s the best investment you could ever make. As for Therapy in a Nutshell, I am a subscriber and I watch at least one video a day. These are perfect for a busy mom of seven who needs to get her mental health sorted and lacks a whole lot of free time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

    As a kid I was always stuck in the sympathetic response, and for the longest time this was just normal for me. In my late teens and now in adulthood I'm starting to unlearn that "normalcy". I'm learning how to actually self-soothe (not shut down everything emotional in order not to get yelled at for crying), how to take care of myself emotionally and mentally. I'm not crying anymore with a blank face. I'm not tired as much anymore. I'm opening up to the people who love me without worrying as much to get retraumatized. Parents, it's so, so important to help your child work through their emotions. When you talk to your kids after they do something wrong, don't yell and spank (which is hitting, no matter what you call it). When they start crying because they're scared, don't tell them "I'll give you something to cry about". Something less obvious is don't tell them "Its not a big deal". To them it is a big deal, otherwise they wouldn't be upset. Get down to where the child is, don't approach it from where you are as an adult. Please for the love of God, don't tell your child that they do X thing for attention. Mine would always tell me I did X thing that I enjoyed for attention, which would make me feel bad about liking it and that I would always have to defend my interests from them. Don't be a reactive parent, be a responsive one.

    This showed up in my recommended list. I'm glad I clicked on it! Finally, not another person telling us they can offer some help, but then give you a big spiel about why this happens, then find out you have to buy into their program to get any of the material. Some of us are broke with no job because our anxiety has kept us down for so long. Mine has definitely gotten worse over the past few months, and after just watching two of your videos, I had a moment of calm and peace! Thank you so much for this! Subscribed!

    Thank you. Last year was very stressful. All my normal outlets (recreation, support groups, travel, events, etc) were shut down while all the craziness went on (health scares, food being cleared out of stores, riots, sociopolitical stuff). I felt like my body finally 'blew a gasket' when it couldn't contain all the stress any longer. All that emotional pressure had to go somewhere...ended up in teeth clenching, TMJ, fascial tension, neck and shoulder problems, along with snowballing anxiety.
    I don't like taking meds, and I'm not into weird eastern stuff. So I prayed about it and these videos started popping up. I appreciate the realistic ideas and explanations you have here.

      I just want to tell you that God loves you more than you could ever want to be loved! He wants a personal relationship with you if you will let Him into your heart. The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity. The Bible says that you can know that you have eternal life in heaven, but If you are putting your trust in anything other than the finished work of Jesus on the cross to get you to heaven, you do not understand God's way.
      The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
      Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
      Our sin separates us from God.
      Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in hell.
      Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
      In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute in the place of the sinner. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
      John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
      Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
      There is no greater love than that!
      John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
      Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
      6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
      Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
      You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
      9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
      God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner headed for hell. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must repent of your sins and call on God for mercy to save you from hell and give you eternal life in heaven with Him.
      Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
      13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
      None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you that if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
      John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
      Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
      Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will!

    I'm at the end of more than a decade of healing on all levels of my system and I've gone through a lot of different therapeutic and healing modalities. For the last 2 years I'v been almost conpletely homebound due to severe IBD issues and I love what you're explaining here. It's so true. Looking back on my life, I've been stuck in the symphatatic mode 24/7. Severe IBD, always cold, always on high alert, muscle tension etc. And in this last phase (it feels like that) I'm becoming more and more intuitive and let my body lead me. The dancing, the shaking, walking, kicking etc. help with releasing what wants to get out. Sometimes even spontanuous when meditating. I'm calmer, more relaxed and I feel my bowels and intestines healing.
    A long story, but I wanted to share this to confirm. And thank you for this great video, your explanation ia spot on and I love the stories of the polar bear and James Gordon ❤

He knows exactly what you're going through and he can give you a peace in your heart like you've never experienced. I'd like to share with you the story of my best friend who lost her son. Even in the midst of her sorrow, she has joy. My hope and prayer is that you too come to have this joy in your life. God bless you!
      Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
      Family Story
      Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
      My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
      That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
      a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
      Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
      His Story
      Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
      “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
      “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
      He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
      “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
      “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
      Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
      “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
      “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
      “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
      “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
      Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
      “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
      Your Story
      What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
      The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
      “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
      We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
      “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
      “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
      “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

Amazing to realise that the calming effect is an actual biological response and not just me distracting myself, which was what i was told to believe.

My hands hurt, I had intense, daily back spasms, and I’ve been wrecking my teeth with grinding and jaw clenching. My Dr. had no clue how to help me relax. So- “I shook it off”, and then climbed into bed and fell right asleep. Quickly after that, I was awakened by intense shaking and shivering. It didn’t last long. Today, I feel exhausted and relieved.

    Pardon my french but holy shit! This worked!! So. I am diagnosed wirh anxiety disorder. More traditional therapy helped me a lot with negative emotions and allowing them, but it never crossed my mind that positive ones could get stuck right along them. So i put on some belly dancing music and try the shaking. And boom within seconds i start laughing. Laughing so hard i almost cried. I had to stop myself from just starting to dance every few seconds, I have not danced in years! It felt wrong. Theres this physical feeling of joy in my chest which i definitly remember feeling long ago but havent in months, maybe years. Man. Thank you to this channel!! I'll be doing this and similar things often now!!

Utilizing all the skills I have learned is not working and I haven’t been sure of how to get the fear, grief, and anger out. It’s just staying inside, as I haven’t found a way to express it safely due to my situation. I know this is detrimental. So again, thank you.

      I have been through a lot... I am a woman and don't look how I did when I was " innocent " ... however this will help EVERY trauma
      I use a worksheet called "Thought Log" ( I can email to you if you want a copy) . It has helped me a lot... you write:
      - what's bothering you
      - your thoughts about it (this is what you base your " alternative thought on", below)
      -your emotions
      -now write " alternative thoughts " to the thoughts that you wrote above ... basically an opposite thought to your first original thought...
      Then you will feel a shift inside...and your feelings will change and oftentimes how the person that offended you... their feelings change towards you too

      It's an amazing thing! I've only recently begun doing this, and it has helped so much. A few days ago I was meditating and found a suppressed emotion. I allowed myself to experience it, and truly feel it. Then I let it go. As it released, I felt some muscles in my legs relax. Those muscles have been clenched tight for so many years that it felt awkward and weird at first, but now it feels amazing! I have so much more inner peace now that I have begun letting go of so much baggage that I've carried for so long.

    • @Eyes0penNoFear
      @Eyes0penNoFear 3 роки тому +3

      @@dianemendoza7965 I use meditation.
      One way I do it is whenever I feel a strong emotion, I'll take time to feel the emotion. One therapist called it, "wallowing in the misery" of the feelings. At first it was miserable and painful. I could only spend a few seconds fully allowing myself to feel these powerful emotions before getting overwhelmed and shutting them down (and then curling into the fetal position and bawling my eyes out).
      As time went on, I was able to spend more time allowing myself to feel. Then one day I realized I was able to feel the entire emotion without shutting down. It's an amazing feeling to know that I've been able to strengthen my emotional "muscles" to the point I can allow myself to process and feel my emotions instead of shutting them down.
      From there, I use visualization to find and release trapped emotions from past experiences. I imagine that my current emotions have some attachment points to those old, trapped emotions and I can follow those to find the old emotions and do the same thing to experience and feel them, then release them.
      I visualize my body like it's a big mining complex, with tunnels and caverns branching every which way. The emotions are the caverns, and the tunnels connect them together. After I've finished experiencing a cavern, I'm able to follow the tunnels to other caverns.
      That's what I found works to help me visualize it, ymmv.

Always felt fantastic, but I haven't done it for years now, but I am definatly starting doing that again as well as streching with a bolster, pilates, swimming, strength training, skiing, rowing, biking, hiking and running! :) And taking deep breaths! And let my emotions run free in a safe space. Let the tears fall and let them roll over me and then letting the emtions go. And harvesting and yielding beautiful and light memories as a shield!

    • @kelleymcfadden9675
      @kelleymcfadden9675 2 роки тому

      I just want to tell you that God loves you more than you could ever want to be loved! He wants a personal relationship with you if you will let Him into your heart. The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity. The Bible says that you can know that you have eternal life in heaven, but If you are putting your trust in anything other than the finished work of Jesus on the cross to get you to heaven, you do not understand God's way.
      The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
      Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
      Our sin separates us from God.
      Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in hell.
      Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
      In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute in the place of the sinner. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
      John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
      Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
      There is no greater love than that!
      John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
      Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
      6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
      Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
      You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
      9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
      God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner headed for hell. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must repent of your sins and call on God for mercy to save you from hell and give you eternal life in heaven with Him.
      Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
      13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
      None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you that if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
      John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
      Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
      Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will!

    When I started doing yoga consistently last year, all my suppressed emotions came up and experienced panic attacks. My therapist told me to not stop doing yoga because it was the main tool that helped me release everything. I’m still doing it consistently, but with more kindness to my body and my mind. I started to became more mindful and self-aware of everything I do, too. I still get triggered, but I try to welcome them and be more of an observer than a judger. I also started to rekindle my relationship with God through yoga, it’s like my prayer and alone time with Him. Idk what other people think about yoga, but for me, it’s one of the tools that saved me ❤ thank you for this!! Somatic therapy helps. It might not be the only answer, but it really does help because your mind might forget, but your body definitely remembers.

      Also, give yourself the 3 second rule: I have three seconds to get up an do this 5-10 minute exercise. 1-2-up!
      If you wait longer than that then you won’t do it. You lose.
