One thing that feels good as corny as it sounds, is going back and loving yourself when you're a child. Many people didn't get that growing up. You have to go into a relaxed state. When you are there picture yourself as that as that broken child, when you were screaming out for help, for attention, for mercy.. Then give yourself a hug and say it's okay I love you etc. This is very powerful. Don't knock it till you try it👍🧘♂️❤

Take ten deep, slow breaths.

I love going to the beach, bending over and filling my lungs 🫁 with air. Then at the top and bottom of my lungs I scream as loud and long as possible. I think 💭 once a small fishing vessel started to head in my direction, even they must have heard me! lol. Burning 🔥 sage to cleanse the space my soul occupies and allowing my heart to bleed tears is another practice I do, you?
@@corvidmurder66 No, I haven't tried that. A woman once told me she screams in the car.
Oh my gosh! I literally did that this past week.
That’s on point. I had to forgive and love the child I was who couldn’t stop the abuse. Abusers always make their victims feel it’s their fault.
"EVERYTHING that you experience should be something that makes you a richer, greater being, but not if you block it!" Even the difficult emotions. WOW!! I didn't know I was blocking it, but now that he's mentioned it! I needed to hear that. Thanks Micheal, thanks Russell.

This makes sense.
7 years ago, when I was 32, I lost my mother to cancer. My grief was so painful that I didn't have the strength to fight it, and my feeling of grief turned within seconds to overwhelming love and gratitude for being blessed with such a wonderful mother.
I can't say that I could do this again with any loss because it wasn't a conscious decision. However, falling into the sadness did make my grief more bearable.

That was beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Russell I've struggled with writing this to you....Ive thought about reaching out about my struggles with trying to stay alive and not commit suic*de before...but I thought ultimately it would be in vain. It's odd because the Dark Night of the Soul typically comes before Spiritual Awakening and yet I've gone through that and I know it's true and although I know I should feel blessed that God has chosen me to awaken I still am not sure I can tolerate continuing to be alive. It's too much pain too much trauma. And while it's clear to me that the drugs only serve to numb that pain it's the only way I can manage to continue living. I've tried to make a channel and videos about my struggle. But in truth I am a writer and an empath filled with the kind of compassion that leads you to too much pain to bear. In my effort to reach out to others and maybe find some sort of connection in this world where we all feel so isolated despite our connection to each other and all things. But I feel my struggle has been in vain. I fluctuate between faith in God and in myself and
days when I'm sure I can't go on... like today. I know it's usually the opposite for most people...but for me knowing how much more beautiful it is on the other side just makes it all the more appealing. And while I've always been so strong I'm still just a person. Idk how God expects some of us to cope with the path we're meant to handle. If we could just talk then maybe I can find some reason to continue on... people will say I was mad if that day ever comes but really I was just a girl in a world gone mad. Hopefully YT won't delete my comment once again.
This is me if you want to reach out:ua-cam.com/channels/t0TsjmuVh5bEsPA47SvFWQ.html
@@therealtruth111 you're so strong for getting through all of your difficulties, you can't quit now!
This is the narrative in many others lives right now. It’s beautiful to see this pulse of awakening day by day.
I’m experiencing these things naturally just as we all are, the narratives of everyone is aligning.
It feels like a response to yet more suffering encountered on the face of the planet. The wars, although upsetting to see, seem to push the planet to awaken its love in us.
Like the 60’s all over again.
Just waves.

We hold on to traumas. Later, in seemingly unconnected situations something triggers those same emotions of fear, being trapped, feeling abandoned, or whatever it was we felt.
Right now I’m learning to identify what I’m feeling, identify why, and then accept that it’s natural and okay. I used to feel anxious and just assume it was pathological. I thought I needed a prescription or I would try to numb it/distract myself in other ways because I was focused on relief and hated the feelings. I realize now we feel things for a reason and to listen to how I feel so that I’m not unconsciously enslaved by it.

I discovered that the trauma in my life was the root cause of addiction. 3 years and for once I am loving myself and living in the present 🎁. Consciousness and awareness 🔑

Conscious, trauma always starts from birth, sometimes before, sometimes it belongs to a past life you lived, boy the stories I could tell you…
@@corvidmurder66 and it also happens on any given day now.
Injustices are everywhere these days.
A few weeks ago I went into a meditation and met 6 wounded previous “me”s.
I was prompted to hug each one and tell her how she/I would go on to be someone healthier/stronger/etc and do this and that. I did that 6 times. As I fell asleep I fell each one fold herself into my arms, like Russian dolls and I felt wave after wave of life and compassion for them. Turned a corner that night.

How beautiful, and compassionate!
Thank you Russell for sharing. Three years ago I lost my father to cancer and I lost my wife six weeks ago to cancer as well. I miss them both so much... Too much rough journey for me to write here. Again thank you for being a person who cares. I will watch and read more of your this less political stuff. Peace.
I wish you every ounce of healing in this beautiful universe. I wish you an abundance of love and virtual hugs Martin. Keep going, you're so strong.
@@inneryasmin5378 Thank you for your kind words, they're really touching. I mean it. Sending you my best wishes. I'm a bit stumped for words at the moment. :)
Hi Martin,putting you in my prayers. Sending you hugs and remember you are very loved😊
Sending you healing. Big hugs.

Detach from the outcome, let it go. You are always manifesting something, even if you’re manifesting things not manifesting. Trust the process.

I'm 35 now and have been fighting my own feelings for as long as I can remember. Very powerful thank you Russel 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️
Blessings to you, Russell. You are amazing 💜 Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us 🙏😇
I had this thought come to me a few days ago about addition and hate towards others. What I realized is that in a way they are similar. When I decide I hate someone, I get so focused on them to the point that I watch them living their lives in hopes of seeing them stumble along the way, in away becoming dependent on it has a source of a temporary feel good tactic, while the whole time I'm waiting for them to stumble I have such turmoil going on inside, I don't want them to see me hurting either. It's a bad habit and a controlling one has I am no longer on my own path, but theirs.
Same with addiction to smokes when I'm nearly out and funds are tight, I get the exact same feelings has when I think about the folks I hate. Not only that my mood never changes, I'm tense and holy cow don't piss me off during these times.
But what I've come to know is that both these things are in the mind. I can free myself from the bondages of both bad habits simply by changing how I think.
Instead of hating these folks, I have come to the conclusion that they are walking their own path. It's not my job to walk it for them or have them walk mine. Our paths are different. I don't have to let them stomp all over my path, but when they appear in mine I simply have to view it has a pot hole I need to walk around and not through. Our paths were meant to be ours alone and personal experiences help us grow as individuals. So now Im free from that bondage and can go about my own life and not be concerned that they too are watching and waiting to see me stumble along the way, because the reality is that we all will stumble at some point and repeat. It's how we learn or when we can choose not to learn depending on how you walk your path.
Addiction also lives in the mind and I do believe that I am bigger then my mind so I'm pretty sure I can beat this. I have noticed that the more I think of this for addition the stronger the addiction seems to get. But I realized it's because my brain does not want to go through withdrawal, I have trained my brain to be rewarded once an hour for nothing. This one will take more work to defeat because it means embracing the withdrawal. Cold turkey is not on the table but a gradual cutting back perhaps until I can safely stop without to much tension. The smoking is going to be a lot harder to stop doing because I will have to keep occupied to take my mind from it, but if I want to succeed in my goal to be a better version of myself I must stop smoking, and hating. Instead of hate just be natural, and in place of smoking art and house work.
Of course I am looking at the twelve step program as well and am applying that to a few things going on in my life. Thanks so much for these videos.

I’m a writer and so many times I’ve tried to write about my mother leaving when I was a year old and it’s interesting now at 58 to be writing it again but with a view to previous attempts and I see it as a spiral.
Same event, different perspective. I’ve been waiting to process this original wound and I see each time there’s a little growth and now I’m beginning, only beginning, to see myself finally looking at her story through her eyes and seeing her wounds which were catastrophic for her and finally in this attempt to feel a little compassion for her. It’s been so hard because I am a sensitive person and she did leave, more than once and she did use me and abandon me until I told her I couldn’t have her in my life or my childrens’ lives, it’s so hard to forgive. It’s taken my life so far to understand and I’m still learning. I wonder if I can help anyone by sharing my experience when I’m still learning.
Namaste Russell keep shining your light.
I found Michael Singer’s Unteathered at a pivotal moment and it’s helped so much. Thank you for bringing him to your audience.
Spot-on. This particular pain (abdominal) is what I’ve been fighting, as I’ve been fighting the pain of further awareness of the trauma of my childhood.
Yes, breathe. Yes, I am love. Yes, I can radiate love.
Pain is part being alive, being alive is not being focused on the physical pain.
I breathe love. 🧘🏻♀️🫁🌬
This abdominal tension and tightness is what I'm working through now myself. I used to have a heaviness in my chest but i don't any longer as more love has come about through deep shadow work and releasing so much.
However, the tightness in my stomach area is down to anger I've still got in me and then the tightness holds onto the anger so it's hard to unwind it and truly relax.
It's basically an overactive Central Nervous System that won't get the message because there's constant bio feedback telling the brain that we're stressed so be on edge and then the thoughts will reflect that and then lo and behold, now we're getting angry because of thoughts we've got.
So finding a way to relax the CNS fully is absolutely the way to proper peace. And then those thoughts will drop off and won't come back as often. And hopefully, in time, the body and brain will get the message that it's time to let go.
I'd recommend looking up Sukie Baxter here on UA-cam and look up the 'Vagal Nerve Exercises to Rewire Your Brain From Anxiety'.
She shows some wee neck stretches that have completely changed my life for the better. I do it once a day now and it's been amazing.
One warning though is that you may uncontrollably release a lifetime of emotion by crying it out. It did for me but it was so welcome and beautiful. It felt like the child in me that never let it out finally has and let go. It might not happen others like that but just a heads up!
And then every time since then, I've had no tears but a lot of great sighs of relaxation. Nice big deep breaths and a great feeling during it and after. I hope this helps!
I love you Russel just as you are. Just as much as I love myself just as I am.
Thank you🤗 so well said! stay free & unified💫 all praise, trust, faith, guidance, love and glory to the Creator of the Universe🌈

I loved this podcast and listened to his book after hearing your full interview with him. That day I felt a sense of hope and clarity I haven’t felt in years. I became inspired and motivated in new ways and made positive shifts in my daily habits that I’m still practicing. I allowed myself to dream dreams I had put off as unrealistic. It’s beautiful. Thank you, dear Russ, for all you are and all you do. I hope someday you’ll reference my book, “Sage Words FREEDOM, book one” or my “Sage Words Substack.” I’d like to mail you a copy. Take care, mate. You’re doing great works in the world today!

We have all been traumatized by this 💔 system. Good garden food, friendship, positive thoughts, gardening. Thanks for helping us heal RB!
Right on time with this one Russell with eclipses magnifying our inner world👍👍
You’re a complexed dude. I watched your other channel 15mins ago and was laughing on the bus. Now I feel connected to me. I too feel deep sadness but reach for Joy. Thanks for your content! Love Mickey too. Legend. 🙏✨♥️ NZ

I am unlocking my trauma, my Shaman is doing a deamouring myself! I think about a stream and the fish swimming up the stream past me, I can’t catch all the fish 🐠 however I can get one. It is pain that I take out of the water as that fish, one fish at a time, then I look at it and think about what I am feeling, then before it suffocates I release it. I am just getting ready to go into my continued work that I must release, including making my prayer and meditation room. The problem is that most parents say to their children, don’t cry, I cry if possible everyday, so cathartic. I loved what he said just then, I can’t wait until you do your next chat on any of your places to find hope, love and peace of mind, I want Russell’s mind in my next incarnation! ♥️

I guess you don’t want me to have your heart, a beautiful smile, Jesus like, you may not see you change Russell however the awakening ones of us do! Keep on keeping on and speak your truth, my throat chakra has been closed lately and it’s because I am not speaking the truth about being sexualized since I was four! Hear me screaming…
@@corvidmurder66 Get Woke!
That will work also however look like you are singing when a car passes… 🤗😉
That's awesome Bonnie, great vision.
On the subject of crying, I'm a real crier. Anyone says anything nice or empathetic to me, I burst into tears. I never tell children to not cry, I always try to remind them to breath instead. Encourage focusing on their breath. That was long before I discovered yoga, hypnosis or meditation. I'm not sure where it came from, perhaps just instinctive.
What a clear way of explaining it. For the first time I understand what to do. Bless You for sharing this sort of advise 🙂
That’s amazing. I never thought about my trauma in this way.

Wow! What a truly refreshing perspective!! Thanks Russ. 💙👍
Hi Russell, love your book and channels, I greatly appreciate your work. Depression is my earliest childhood memory, paired with confusion for not understanding what was happening to me internally. I grew up in a household that did not share/express feelings and if you did, it resulted in ridicule and a loss of respect. Now I'm 35 and trying to learn how to recognize/process/express my feelings after many years on various antidepressants. This video is so helpful to me, thank you! A video on the topic of antidepressant withdrawal would be awesome if you have any relative information. The doctors don't tell you it all catches up with you when you wean off someday and that your brain will never be the same. Thanks again 🙏
I have recently encountered a young woman who greatly reminds me of myself and I believe this video can have great meaning for us both.
I love the idea of taking challenges and viewing them as opportunities for growth. Because what I have learned in my 44 yrs is that all the challenges that I faced have made me the incredible person I today and I want to share that with this young, smart and beautiful young woman so that she can be a leading force for change.
Michael's words here about pain resonate so deeply for me today. For the last 4 months I have been walking through the (emotional) valley of death, so overwhelmed with the evolving stages of grief, and fear and sorrow. I have also been awash with gratitude, moments of incredible joy, the deepest surrender to God,, and the absolute awareness of being carried in Grace,, Love,, and Mercy. God has been ever-present, carrying me and surrounding me. I will get Michael's book, because I think there will be more helpful nuggets of grace and wisdom for me, as I walk the shifting landscape of my life. Thank you for sharing your mother-woundedness , Russell. This is so beautiful, the awareness. I get it. You are a light, dear brother. Shine on. 🌻💛
A good friend of mine strongly recommended i read his book The Untethered Soul. It's fantastic. Hard to implement, yes! Because life is a hard journey and I have fallen far from the tree, but hearing him speak I know he knows exactly what he is talking about. I cant wait to re read and then read his second book as well. Thanks for the video russell, you are doing a LOT of good for people with your platform. It makes a difference in many many kany of our lives. Thank you! And thank you Michael!
Chronic pain that never goes away and this video 👍 Gotta master the mind and your internal conditions if you cannot control the outside world control yourself
Merci 🙏🏽 parfait timing 🕊🌈
Sweet talk! Yep our identity is in large part composed of contraction, pain, resistence, which ultimately is our Essence Appearing as these qualities of contraction or perceived densification or heaviness. Thanks to You, Michael Singer, Eckhart and all the others that catalyze the lightening or loosening of human energy contraction, whats more important in terms of Joy, survival, overall Freedom?💜☮☯
this was amazing thank you Michael Singer and Russell !
Some pain requires understanding before you can let it go. Don’t be afraid to seek professional help...

I did 6 weeks of therapy and that's exactly what happened to me. That's the conclusion I came to because I got everything out there. The impact was huge. Still have shitty times but I can deal with them in a way I couldn't before. Thanks Russell and I'm definitely buying his book xxx

I listened to the entire podcast and now I’m listening to Michael’s new book. It’s been fascinating and enlightening. This perspective is new to me and has opened the door to a new way of healing.
Wow. Thank you. I decided to meditate on my pain and be thankful I feel it instead of being upset that I'm still feeling it after all this time .. and this is what I call a pivot. I pivoted my mind from being sad that I'm feeling pain (even though I still am) to feeling grateful. You're right I am human and sometimes we carry the burden of proof; accepting observing and acknowledging this pain but being mindful to be thankful im human and im having the ability to learn and grow from this.. wow. Thank you 💜
Life is happening for you, not to you 💪🏼💪🏼💯
I didn't mean to write wow ty twice lol but I'm talking into my phone for voice to text and this is how I feel. Love your channel 💜

While working to raise my frequency I have been working through the many traumas I experienced throughout my life. The very first trauma happened when I was very little. It has been blocked out completely and I have not been brave enough to search for that blocked memory, but I know it’s necessary in order to continue rising. Advice is happily accepts and considered. Much appreciation and love.

I may wait to watch this one Russell. Thank You! Love from 🇺🇸 you have alot of fans here. We talk about you.🙂
Feeling all your feelings at once can be harmful to someone deeply traumatized. It’s important to open and release, but it must be balanced so your body thinks its safe. Trauma recovery isn’t a one size fits all. What helped me the most was spirituality and movement (dancing, yoga). We have to look at ourselves as a whole and take our time.
This was amazing, I recently lost someone who was once very close to me, and I’ve been struggling with the grief. But this was helpful to remind me of the love I had for them
Thank you! I think I might just go subscribe to under the skin after watching this one !
I'm embarking on this now. I've always numbed it all, with whatever addiction came along. Good, drugs, whatever. Seeing a therapist to deal with it all and her approach is much like this.
I cried. It hit me right in my trauma. And helped to release just a little bit. Thank you Russel. Namaste 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Little by little. Take care.
What a lovely man. i get frustrated at being told about releasing trama. My next question is always 'but how?' I do think just having the desire to want to relase trauma really helps. having a desire to want to feel trauma, letting it go by breathing into it and wanting to forgive really helps.

I agree there's a deep well of pain and sometimes we do not know it's been hacked, except through a visceral response. Nor do the persons that inadvertently hacked or triggered it. That's lack of self awareness I suppose. But what I hate are these learned responses to pain and threat that are awful and trigger awful and unacceptable behavior in myself. I am currently feeling so much shame and fear of loss and love over what I did and do believe openness and owning up to it is the only path to improved personhood and growth spiritually. The monster will always be in that well and I will always have pain because it's part of life. What I want to do is recognize when the response rises that's alway mean and ugly and full of fear and wrong action due to the visceral response that feels like I'm in a defense mode when I need not be, triggering this strong counter attack that includes lies, among other things to people and communities that are important to me. I am so backwards socially, I am even uncertain of how and what to reveal, admit, apologize for except the god awful truth, which scares the hell out of me because all I have left of community is people I've lied to. Only once, but its a whopper in my estimation and I guess my biggest fear is I will be totally rejected by them. But then, I may have gained my truer self if I do so, I keep telling myself : a more compassionate, humane, being able to recognize and voice her feelings and see them as warning before the dragon breathes flame and scorches those around me, self included.
I am so glad I saw this

I like the vibe of this channel a lot! I'm going to make an effort to watch these videos too, in addition to your other main videos, which I also love. Thank you for introducing me to Michael Singer! He made a lot of sense in a very short amount of time. 👍😁
Funnily you are touching on most topics crossing my mind of late and you look back over some past events which led you to a maximum learning experience and the wound you know and it’s pain also. I like how he says we can transmute pain into love an explanation for what I could have done and as intense the pain the same for the other..I’ve been spending sometime on how we manifest our outside I watch another utuber also into this atm…so I guess just moving on from the healed wound and found you go back less an less over time as to how you even got it in the first place and how the pain grew from the adding to it from all sorts…monstrous pain turned love love💜

I'm deep ng stressed from purging a highly toxic poisoin out of my body. Its dominating my feelings on ALL levels. I feel scared, in flight or fight mode, heart palpitations, stomach churning & bowel issues. My Soul feels untethered and yet I'm here on Earth & vulnerable! My inner child is very needy! I've been living in Overwhelm.
This is Why I LOVE U ❤💛💚🌎✌

This is the challenge of good advice: how to make it REALLY practical.💫 People must be able to relate, to know HOW to implement the advice. Thx RB, I am going to try to feel the pain and let it pass through. 💚💛
I like this side channel so much I consider it a main channel.
Thank you Russell, inner child work is key
I feel shit and after living 16 years since I was 15 plagued by drug and alcohol addiction that I don’t really feel like going on much further.
Heroin and coke since I was 15 and alcohol since I was younger. I get government heroin treatment now where you get to inject twice a day and have been doing well on that for the last 2 years but my drinking has really spiralled worse out of control, although now I have a house to stay in etc and amnt begging anymore.
I just have arrived at a point now in my 31st year on this earth that I don’t feel I can keep struggling much longer if that makes sense

I feel the energies moving in my heart chakra area! I AM very open to the beauty & depth of what I feel. I feel intimate unbearable compassion since the loss of my son, husband & friend this past year! I'm ok though.
So true, thank you 🦋
I've been following Russell everyday for months now but this channel is new to me and seems to suit me even more than the political one
Sir., As a human being our motions are our jet fuel of manifestation and those of us conscious enough to understand that have a tendency to repress these emotions in fear of creating something we’ve already been through. It’s very difficult to see through pain, fear or sadness but on the other side of it there is no more fear there is no more pain or sadness we get to the realization of acceptance compassion and ultimately love thank you for the brilliant podcast. Love from Texas
Thank you so much for bringing this light of consciousness to the forefront for everyone using their own inner awareness to continue to expand this way 🤟🤟 we can dissolve the existing mental health issues and disorders that exist by joining together for a purpose greater than our individual selves, by absolutely knowing our individual selves. To be safe and at home wherever you’re standing with the truth of god inside you to do the things sitting inside your anger, sadness, and pain to resurrect who you were MADE to be. YOUR blueprint. Thanks, Jesus for being such an awesome guide! 🤟🏹🧬✨
Russell , There are days that i feel as though im being challenged and the lessons don't ease up, for prolonged periods of time. Like one blow after another. As much of a peaceful life i try to live, its as if im being cut and formed like a diamond. Then im blessed just as equally, like as a mere tool, that is preserved for battle or peace. With all the ethereal stuff aside, i have experienced prolonged periods of positive energy after meditating with you, Even in the face of opposition. It is possible that everything happens for a reason, even if we all or individually were planning on something else. Like i think God does this to me a lot. So my point is that this is no BS. YOU really seem to be spiritual, like the real thing. Believe me, This is not something i take lightly. Ive been watching both your channels for what, about half a year? So i have noticed this many times. I think u r truly sincere , Now if we could all figure out how to kinda, " Opt out and tune in" open communication, etc.. our species may still have a chance. Keep fighting the GOOD fight beautiful Russell. ua-cam.com/video/QEgpcgO4Hvk/v-deo.html 💪😇🤘

I've been learning to do this in therapy, letting the pain pass through me, and what really amazes me is that resisting is what makes us suffer more. The pain in itself hurts so much, yes, it's true, but once it's through, once we've allowed ourselves to feel it it changes or transmutates (transmutes?...) and it really does start to dissolve.
My most recent experience was less than a month ago with this situation that took me back to the years I got bullyed. It bothered me so much, this new recurring situation, but I just kind of brushed it aside many times because, come on, I'm a grown woman, I'm not supposed to care about certain things that people joke about, it was silly etc because I'm an adult, but it kept coming back, happening again and again and, stupid as it was, it always made me sad. This last time I allowed myself to look at it and I actually cried (a lot) because of this stupid "joke" this person had been making for a few years now. I'm 45 years old. Well, as I cried I realised that it was because it took me back to those situations envolving me being bullyed and this time I actually took some steps to avoid this ever happening again, but just as important as doing that, I'd let the pain pass through. The sadness didn't go away all at once. I felt sad again before I started to really get over it, but the crying was all done. I even tried to cry, but nothing happened. I just sat there feeling that remainder of sadness and now I trully feel it's gone, in the past. The bullying happened when I was in my teens and I'd been avoiding feeling this all this time.
Thanks for this video. Next time I'll try and remember to be glad that I'm alive and able to feel.
Very uplifting! Thank you
A+ -- Love this one Russell!! Namaste
Thanks. Getting clean and dealing with decades of trauma is extremely daunting and very painful. Well worth the struggle though. My life is still way better now, even though it’s been very difficult.
here's what I think about,
as I watch this video...
there's a very specific person,
in reality,
like all my "situation-ships" of the past,
this person is really nothing to me.
in reality, we are really nothing
to each other...
BUT (HUGE BUT, here...)
we both provide each other with the illusion and fantasy
of love and friendship,
and I hold on, for dear life, to this illusion and fantasy.
because I've never ever, had true love or a real friend before...
and as of recent,
this illusion and fantasy
is starting to crumble and disintegrate,
and I can't let it.
I just can't.
without it, I have nothing.
without it, I'd metaphorically and literally die...

I think that as you experience pain or at least in my experience approaching 60 tomorrow, comma I am getting more empathy and understanding understanding of the different paths that people have taken for various reasons. I do not judge I appreciate. I can have empathy in their pain but not let it crush me.
Love!!!! Want more please🙋♀️ thank you, you beautiful awakened soul!!!! 💗🌈🙏

This really got me thinking of what exactly is making me feel sadness and putting it into words. As far as experiencing it to let it out and somehow improve my overall being, I really have to work on this part.

>>Activity in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], suggests that quick breathing rates may trigger feelings like anxiety, anger, or fear. Other studies have shown that we tend to be more attuned to fear when we're breathing quickly. Conversely, it may be possible to reduce fear and anxiety by slowing down our breath.

Thanks for sharing this , what happens within happens without .

Russell Brand doesn't want you to know this:
Take ten deep, slow breaths.
Take a deep breath any time you think about your breath.

My older brother and I were raised in an abusive home by a young Mom (17) and a young step-dad (16). We were taken away and given back multiple times, I lived on the streets at 13, I went missing at 15, around the same time my brother (16) left home for good. I was 19 years old, a single mother of an 11 month old when my Mom died at 37 of an overdose. She was an RN who worked hard and had many friends. Why she chose to do drugs, I can't say. My step-dad went on a downward spiral drinking and doing drugs, my 15 year old younger brother (step-dads natural son never abused) who found our Mom, followed his path. While my step-dad got clean, my younger brother, did not. A few years ago, my step-dad killed himself at 58 years old. Trauma can be filled with so many other feelings that can drag one down, have them feeling like they just can't care about anything .. can't get hurt that way. Guilt, wow, the guilt. Could have been a better daughter, payed more attention, recognized the signs. Some days you can rationalize and dismiss those thoughts, some days, they consume you. Some days, it feels like nothing will ever come easy or happen smoothly. Everything is a struggle and a fight. It is so exhausting sometimes. I have been trying my hand at journaling. It's really just surface words. Nothing deep.
Your messages show me a glimmer of hope, like there is a way I can rise above the wall I have surrounded myself with. Thank you for being you and sharing of yourself.
@Angela Wilkinson may you find peace and healing from all of your painful past trauma. You must know deep down (I hope you do!) that you are not to blame for anything that happened to your mom, step-dad, or siblings. Sending 💗
@@purplebutterfly5550 Once I talk myself through the guilty thoughts I know it was not about me. Thank you for your kind words.
@@angelawilkinson1020 you're welcome! Thats really good to hear.
Beautiful 💖
thank you!
Wow i love this ❤️
Thank you
Ok unblocking my life long social anxiety. It’s mostly fear with some poor self esteem. A wobbly child in the corner unable to speak. I’m breathing through these feelings. Sadness. Difficult to lift it up into love but I will have a go. I will practice unblocking.
was feeling heavy, feeling lighter now Thanks

Lovely.
Merci 🙏🏽, always whatever is going on.
Amazing
The most important, RB.
Russell Brand someone who does volunteering, he mentioned that he was going to see you this week at Ashton Gate in Bristol.
His name is Henry, give him a shout out and a bit of encouragement because he seemed nervous about the situation.
Please,please, please could you make someone's day better 🌻as if Russel Brand would see this message.
@ Lisa Bill if you sign up to RB's mailing list, you could email him...he might read it! Good luck to your friend!
Very true. Sucking it up and forcing myself to move on hasn't helped me.
I’ve blocked out most of my trauma I’ve had in my life . Severe trauma through death and abuse
