-- How To Relieve Stress And Anxiety Fast (Somatic Practice) --
When it comes to stress and anxiety relief, here’s what you should know:
Your brain is not separate from your body.
That seems mind-numbingly simple, doesn’t it? Of course they aren’t separate.
But unfortunately we live within a culture that divides mind from body. The separation is so pervasive that it permeates every aspect of our lives without us even being aware of it.
Take language for example. We talk about our bodies like they’re not part of “us,” -- i.e. the you that you identify with as your personality.
But actually your body is integral to who you are. Not in a judgy sort of way, like you’re a bad person if you don’t fit an unrealistic physical ideal.
But in a neurological sort of way -- your thoughts and movement develop simultaneously.
And they function simultaneously, too.
Thoughts, in fact, are the narration or summary of our physical sensations and emotions. Which means that you can change anxious thoughts by shifting your sensory experience…
i.e. by giving your brain some new information.
And that’s exactly what I show you how to do in this week’s video. Give it a watch and let me know how it goes for you in the comments.

About Sukie Baxter
I help you rewire your brain for greater health, happiness and success -- and unlike most methods for changing limiting stories and negative beliefs which focus primarily on changing conscious thoughts, my work uses embodiment practices so that you not only think differently -- you ARE different. These changes are deep, biological and highly effective.

I’m the author of Perfect Posture for Life and the founder of WholeBodyRevolution.com, an online informational site for healthy posture, movement and aging.
I have traveled the world to study with masters in mindful movement, integrative bodywork, trauma healing, strength and conditioning, shamanism and energy medicine. Blending elements from all of these disciplines, I’ve developed my signature Nerve Method™ to free people from the stress and trauma that form the deep roots of pain and tension.

You have literally changed my life overnight ! I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun - acupuncture, dry needling, all the types of massage, pills, meditation, journaling, exercise and so on… I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to continue to care for my children (single mum)… highest appreciation beyond words for your work ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
That's great. Happy for you
What has worked best for you?
I’m a single mom as well and I pray that you are doing wonderful and continue to get better and better. I’ve just found her videos as well and am very excited and hopeful 🫶🙏
What did u do???
As a person who lives with generalized anxiety, I'm ALWAYS requesting hand massages from my husband. I knew it lowered my anxiety but I never knew why. This video was a light bulb moment for me and sort of validated feelings I already had. Thanks!
I loved reading your response Lauren, and it’s so lovely that your husband gives you hand massages 🥰🤗 He sounds like a good one, and your intuition is spot on. Susie shares such interesting info!
If u r feeling anxious sex is best medicine to cure that
I had the same light bulb 'ah-ha' moment!
What about constant anxiety pain
@@cma3699😂
Oh my! I'm recovering from a stroke!! How perfect is this?! Thank you!
I don't have an acupressure ring, so I just gently massaged all my fingers in circular movements, and I immediately started yawning big time :D
Same, incredible!!!!!
This answered a block I’ve had for years working with SE. understanding that it is a practice involving the input of the nervous system has completely changed what to do!
Thank-you for boldly speaking the truth that existing practices we've been taught/practised don't always work! The assumption is that they do, and there's something wrong with you if it's not working!!! It's quite a big relief to realize that just maybe it was the technique & not oneself!!! Big gratitude!!
I just dug my relax-O-ring out of my drawer and used it for the first time in a year. Very relaxing, especially on the toes. Thanks for the reminder of using this tool and I think I'll bring it with me back to work after the holidays.
I have been trapped in fight or flight for days and i did this with my fingers and yawned like 10+ times and i am sooo relaxed! This is truly amazing!
Good to know! Thank you!!!
Bless you I am the same. Trapped in adrenaline fight flight and its hell
I'm trapped too bit where do you buy it please
@@barbarasmith4560 I started right away just using my other hand. Using 3 fingers along each finger gives plenty of gentle stimulation. It's very pleasant. I heard they can be ordered on amazon.
Thank you so much for this video. I have suffered from anxiety since 2014 and am currently feeling debilitated by it while I'm going through a stressful situation. I can't run away from what I'm going through, so using this method will help me function.
Thank you Susie I don't have the ring yet and just massaging the fingers and I can't believe it I started feeling more calming almost immediately and I was really feeling very overwhelmed
Discovered Sukie and her channel today and already a big fan. Experienced physical results from the ear massage exercises. What a wonderful gift, thank you.
I’ve been using that ring on my massage clients for over a decade never knowing exactly why people, and myself love it so much. I knew it relieved tension but didn’t know at what level. Wow again!
I've bought the rings after watching the video, a few weeks ago. It does have a real effect. I love them. I feel my hands completely rejuvenate and kind, happy.
Im 44, never experienced any real anxiety but have a high stress job and 17 years of this has taken its toll and for the 1st time in my life, experiencing spikes of high blood pressure was not good. My stress limits have reduced about 25% making my normal high stress limits overflow and my body crashes. I tried addressing my blood pressure by diet but didnt actually address the cause! Found this UA-cam channel and looking forward to seeing the results. My physical health is very good but need to address the stress issues. Excellent content so far and will watch all of the videos. Thank you 😊
I love everything about this video. For years now I've been in/out of treatment for alcohol/substance abuse disorder. I've attended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anger Management and recently Mindfulness, all of which have been helpful. The 12 step approach even more so because it over action and service as a means to help however there's so many rules. Church has even more requirements for a person to follow. All of these are good with me but I'm looking for mental, emotional and spiritual wholeness. The information here helps. And it's a pretty cool way to practice Self-Care. Thank you for your passion and your time.
Sukie thank you for sharing your work. You are impacting thousands of people whose lives are improved by your videos. I am one of them.
I second this!!
I just started massaging my fingers and hands and now I’m crying! It feels like a big release. Thank you so much!
Dang Sukie! So glad you looked into your own Healing further so we can now all benefit from your passion and knowledge on this subject! Right on😎 I see you! Thank you 🙏
Clearest videos on this subject on UA-cam. Thank-you.
I never considered massage or acupuncture before but I feel this tracks. I have a long history of panic attacks and sometimes I lose feeling in my hands and feet during an episode; so I can see how this would help with that and circulation.
Sukie...I have been watching and liking your vdo for the past few months.Pls.continue showing vdos which can be performed without the need to buy anything from the market so that no one gets the wrong signal of there being any commercial motive behind such vdos.Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻
I do a lot of reflexology and finger work already, but I found it fascinating when you said the skin develops from the same material as the brain. That explained a lot right there.
skin on your hands that is :)
Thank you! found that shower-gloves works well for the practice, normally used for rubbing of dead skin cells.
That was great. I have no acupressure ring so I just massaged my fingers and got all the yawns.
Thanks heaps 😊😊
I am literally in tears because this honestly worked. You are a gift. Thank you thank you thank you. I cannot express my gratitude for you for sharing this video/experience. I deal with really bad anxiety and panic and this worked in about a minute. Thank you so much for sharing this blessing.
Even with strong attack?
I just massaged my fingers with my fingers and felt a sweet release! Thank you!
I am so glad to have found your channel and that you are working with the body. In over 20 years I have found pretty much everything else pretty much useless.
I just ordered some.I used my nails for now, and it helped me.Thank you.
Ordered mine asap thank you imma use at work
thank you so much i bought one of these and it is brilliant!! My hands feel amazing like after a full massage!
Thank you, I didn't have an acupressure ring (will be buying one) so I used a small massage ball ony fingers and hands, lovely and yes I noticed the relaxed states in neck too. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! I’m new to Somatic Stress Relief, and you’ve been helpful.
Love your work Sukie! Thank you
Wow!!! Great information Sukie. Thanks so much.
Wow, I bought the acupuncture rings yesterday after watching your video. I received them this evening and wow. Yawing and body is so relaxed, feels like could go to sleep. So glad I've come across your video. I'm going to buy some rings and invite some young people to try the process .
Thanks Sukie, Amazing how this little gadget really works! Used it at the dentist office and it helped.
I've discovered through your videos that I am in Dorsal Vagal shutdown and have been for years. Mindfulness, meditation, stress management haven't worked for me either. Grateful for this info!
I believe I am the same......🤨......... but NOT GIVING UP !! ........
@@rhondapelletier2141 Reduce negative thoughts. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, hands on lap with palms facing upwards, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. During the day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make this a daily habit to have a relaxed life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
@@shyaaammeneen63 easier said than done
I ordered a package of these rings before your video was even over. I had never heard of them. Upon receiving them I opened them up right away and started using them. It really does relax me! Since I received a package of 12, I keep one on the coffee table, one on my night stand, one in my purse, one at work, etc. I absolutely love them. Thank you!! 💕
That is awesome! I'm so glad you've found the rings helpful.
I did the same! I get mine tomorrow!
I ordered also.
This really works. Thank you. I love the science behind it.
So grateful, I am, for this one (followed others' of yours) - while watching I began the same motion using my first three fingers and thumb, producing immediate relief (decades of 'managing' tension!). The science is so useful 🙏
I just started doing this w/ my fingers and it did seem to help.
Wow I have just discovered your channel have never heard of a massage ring will definitely try this out for helping particularly with traumatic trips to the dentist 😱 thank you so much 💓
I really like you and your videos. I’m looking forward to ordering one of these acupressure rings. Heart to heart, Thank you so much
Thank you. I am enjoying your videos of helpful knowledge. Your input of suggestions are well researched for a new practice to mindful care.
Your videos are basically saving my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙
Right before you said it, my neck and jaw totally began to relax. I don’t have an acupuncture ring yet, but I just used my fingers and felt the effects.
I really love your voice! Thank you for sharing this info with us, really appreciate it! :)
Aww, thanks Trish! I'm glad you found the video useful!
I'm finding your series of somatic relaxation very interesting, not something I have tried before, so please keep up with doing more. As for anxiety, I have suffered with it all my life, mainly social anxiety and I have always used my hands to help myself as in when I am super anxious I would dig my nails into my fingers and really screw my hands up tight and concentrate on that feeling, I always thought it was just a distraction as it seemed to help but now you have explained the relationship between fingers and the brain, that really opens up alot of new ideas about why that helps me, and also, thank you for helping me :) you are also a beautiful human for what you do.
Thank you, Matthew, that's really lovely to hear. And interesting that you'd already found a connection to your hands on your own! Maybe an acupressure ring would be slightly less uncomfortable than digging your nails into your fingers, though? 🙂 Let me know how it goes for you.
@@SukieBaxter Hi Sukie, I have been using the rings today, I got a pack of 10 of them, tried them on my fingers and toes, I really like them and yes they are quite intense and tight if you keep them in the same place, I did not get much from using them on my toes but found I really got some benefit from using them on my fingers, I found that using just 2 of them and moving them around was really nice, I have not used them in a place of anxiety yet but I can see these will be pf great help, thank you so much for the recommendation :)
@@matthewdexter Thank you so much for replying back! Glad you're enjoying your new acupressure rings. Interesting that you had more effect on your hands -- I love them for my feet! Everyone is a little different though.
Please, post more Videos like that! Somatic exercises are amazing but hard to find someone who can explain them so good like you do! 🩷🩷🩷
Amazing and helpful as always! Thank you!
Your channel came in the right time.
Thank you so much for this Sukie. I was really agitated at work today and I found this video while on a break. I don't have those rings, but I started massaging my fingers and got a yawn response. Calmed down quickly. I'm so glad I found you via the vagus nerve reset video.
I started right away using 3 fingers from my other hand. It's very pleasant and is relaxing. I have a tendency to cold hands, esp. in winter in Canada. It warms them much faster, than if I'm trying to warm them other ways.
Did you eventually order the rings and find they made a difference or worked any better?
I never got the rings as I found just using my hands worked fairly well. My hands also get quite cold in winter so this exercise has another bonus of getting the circulation going.
Thank you very much Sukie Godbless you always, i've found your videos very helpful. I am watching your videos. I suffered from heart palpitations and head cramping for so many years. Hope everything will be good with these God sent help through you. Hope you can help more people .
Thank you Sukie!. I will try this for sure 🙏❤️
Please do! And let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Really Appreciate this Content.
Incredible! Super helpful!!! Love you!
I have started watching for the first time tonight and I am hoping these videos will help me
Yes it is different! Thank you so much!
I think a big problem for me is that I can get overly excited about anything now (this wasn't always the case). It's like the excitability (good or bad) features won't shut off. When I start to relax, my muscles will twitch, sometimes constricting and and relaxing. I am trying to "reset my vagus nerve" to shut off my bodies feature. I love sports, but now I can become so excited that I'm super-tensed. I think it's called excessive sympathetic activity.
I just used my fingers but it really helped! Thank you so much!
I'm going to get one of these. Thank you for all of your videos. Do they have one for ankles? I'll be checking into it.
Ma'am you are wonderful.. God bless you for making such videos.
Lots of love from India.
I just started to watch your videos im grateful you are on here to help those out who need it and i need it haha my question is how often can the vagus exercises be done and can you start them as soon as you feel anxious thanks for your time
I did not have an accupressure ring but massagged with my fingers. It kind og opened up my chest and made my breath easier
I have one of these! It came for free with acupressure slippers. Love all of your work. Also that sweater is so cute. Where did you get it?
I have been prescribed highly addictive meds for anxiety that also cause other unwanted side effects that make it dangerous to drive. These techniques work and the only side effect is I'm calm and not tweaking. Plus it doesn't cost anything (less stress on the budget! Yay!). 🙂
A bodywork teacher (Til Luchau- blogs/writes and teaches structural integration stuff with deep research into the nervous system) suggested that we do just this, but with very light touch and very slowly - triggering all that good chemistry- just another idea (the sloooow part at least)
I really like your videos and use them frequently and I am very grateful for your content - may I make a suggestion/ preference suggestion? I prefer the ones without the music in the background- I find some too intrusive and distracting - on one video it actually made me feel more anxious as I couldn’t concentrate on your voice.
I just started learning about the Polyvagal theory and it has just clicked for my own understanding of myself. I started trying some of the exercises you offered and it works wonders !
I developed Neuro-Lyme almost 10 years ago and suffered severe vagus nerve damage -throw in unresolved trauma and there’s no wonder, I was constantly feeling out of sorts.
I look forward to exploring this more! Thank you for your work!
That's great, Amber! I'm so happy to hear that you experienced some good results with these exercises!
Thank you for sharing it, I am going to buy these and let you know if it works for me.
Yes thank you
Thank you. I had ptsd from childhood trauma.
Hi Sukie, thank you for this video! It works thank you! Are there more " devices" than the ring? Like a ' Sukie nevus calming device - kit ' 😉😀
For BFRBers (skin pickers, hair pullers, and others), I believe this information is so relevant. I'm finishing up writing a book on how to manage these behaviors! (See bio if curious.) These rings will get a mention.
Loving and sharing your videos. :) Thank you.
Awesome! I'm glad this has been a helpful resource for your work, Lauren.
Sounds interesting. Will try that out.
Thanks for the info
thank for the information.
I did it with my fingers and it worked.
Very noticeable improvement. Just found this video today....amazing to feel yourself "stop holding your breath" with stress. Thank you from a new subscriber ! 😁
nice
Very interesting! Would massaging without these rings work as well? Or do the rings work better?
Love love your videos! I practice body intuition and movement. What’s the name of the song in this video?! My body really responded to it💜
getting those rings right now!
This is amazing, I also liked Vagus Nerve Ears
Love this
Got one for free and didn’t know what to do with it! Thanks :)
Cool! I hope you find it useful!
got it. thks
Hi i loved the video.please shed some light on frontal lobe and hand connection that you mentioned.
mindfulness and meditation honestly jus make my anxiety worse xx
This helps a lotttt
Excellent
I haven't tried it yet but will be ordering one in a few minutes. I Will update on how it works for me after I've used it. But wanted to comment that I just came across your videos today for the first time. I have to say, I am learning something new which is always a good thing! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.
How did it work for you? Its been 5 months since your comment
@@youtubeaddict5663 I did order them but only used them a few times. I just don't think about using them. So I don't know if they work or not.
@@jennabest on the few occasions when you did use it did you find that it worked?
@@youtubeaddict5663 I never used it when I was feeling anxious per sey. But it does feel relaxing as you roll it up and down your fingers and/or wrists.
@@jennabest cheers for your replies
I did your neck stretching exercises, i slept much better
Calm Easy Tea has made a noticeable difference in my stress levels. I feel more relaxed and able to handle daily challenges.
I have mostly used meditation and breathing. Also vagus nerve stimulation. That is not working for me anymore. I have Ben thought quite a trauma filled last two years with being sick and then they took out my gallbladder. This created not only trauma in my body but dysbiosis in my gut and it really messed up my microbiome. Now my legs and feet feel numb and tingly. It’s frightening. I’m hoping this will help me Suki. I’ve done your vagus nerve exercises and they did help before I had all this trauma with the gallbladder stuff. But since the GB removal and dysbiosis I’m worse with the added tingling in my legs and feet. I feel frightened too.
I have been in chronic pain for 25 yrs. I found out about and have been working on healing through the Pain Reprocessing Therapy and somatic tracking. I believe my pain is mind/body but it has been slow going. In one of your other videos you stated to not to overdo the exercises, to work slowly on resetting the Vagus Nerve. Does this apply to the accupressure rings? Can I fidget with them throughout the day without overdoing it or should they be used just once a day? Thanks so much, excited to try your techniques.
Any specific pattern, way or time amount we should take into consideration while using the ring?
Hi! I have functional neurological disorder and have recently found your chanel. Nothing has been able to help me like your videos have. I feel armed with a tool kit now! I was just wondering if you had any specific tips for people who suffer with FND episodes?
I have always lived with many people who are on the autism spectrum. Many of these treatments really remind me of stimming! Is there a connection?
Excellent informative presentation. Thank you. The music in the background is very distracting and unfortunately annoying.
amazing
Do you offer a course?
