I've been trying this for a few days with little effect. Today, it brought out some painful emotions that I've been experiencing. Thank you for the help with learning a tool to manage and experience it in a controlled way ❤
I hold a lot of tension and pain in my neck and shoulders. I’ve been working on myself physically and emotionally, but nothing has released this much emotion yet. Did the routine twice and cried both times, just like my body needed to sob. I’m still feeling tension and pain in my neck, but I’m going to try this for the next few days and see how it goes. thank you for posting!
I am feeling so emotional it so hard to put into words my whole life have had this feeling like I have a brick on each of my shoulders 60 years old had no idea I was carrying trauma after trauma and abuse on my neck and shoulders for the first time I feel awesome feel so much lighter God bless you
Alleluia to you, Emily. Found you today and absolutely feel like it was divine alignment ✨️ I feel like many others in these comments: held, supported, loved, safe, cozy. All the things I've been longing for. And you showed me I could give that to myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you ♡
I have used a lot of modalities for trauma release. Just found Somatic exercises. I store most of the unprocessed emotion in my neck and shoulders but did hip and body then ended up here as my last one for today. I have definitely released some stuck emotion and this last technique brought out some deep resentment coupled with sadness and a tinge of anger. TY
Thanks for these videos, Emily. I have watched several of your videos this evening, and my body is finally relaxing after being in a state of tension for most of the day.
I felt a release of emotion doing these exercises, but wasnt able to completely 'let go'. I really like your calm approach and will be doing more. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you so much im going to make this my daily practice. My shoulders are telling me to gwt going on this .....never knew what this was .iv had tention tightness and pain for years 🤍
🥀 Hi Emily!! I'm enjoying this! I've been curious about what can help me on a daily basis... I've realized for a while that focusing on breathing is not my path to calm., not at all... On the contrary, small movements seem useful to me... ( When I get a yawn in response... what a wonderful thing !! ) 🙄Some suggestion similar to the one to alleviate the anger you have been offering, but aimed at releasing anxiety, would be part of my kit !! Thanks!! 🌹🌱
Hi Rita. Thanks for your comment, and glad to hear you are enjoying. That's a great point you make - breathing is not always the best way to calm down. Sometimes we have to burn off (discharge) our fight/flight energy first, usually by using movement. I'd love to create a video on easing anxiety, but in the meantime, you may enjoy my video "Somatic Grounding Exercise" ua-cam.com/video/5TBoR847clE/v-deo.html
This is a great suggestion for a future video. In the meantime, you might find some relief from my videos on working with pain. Here is the first of two: ua-cam.com/video/Y6yDHdInJBc/v-deo.html
i was getting looser and lighter in my upper shoulders , but, my anxiety feelings of a tightness my tight chest under arm feels stuck, thanks for what i got, chest under arm in the back of shoulders are still tense?
Hi there! I'm glad you found some relief from this video, but I hear you that there is still some tension. This video is quite brief, and if you have long-term patterns of chronic tension it will likely take more than a few minutes to resolve this. Might I recommend some gentle yoga that can help open up the musculature.
Crying is usually a sign of emotional release. You probably were storing some emotional or stress energy in your body and the exercises helped that energy to discharge.
I really hope so, but you won’t know until you try it out. It may not work for everyone to resolve tension and there may be longer or deeper tension patterns that need something else to release.
Hey! I am NOT a specialist, but I've been doing somatic exercises for the trauma release for quite some time, and I can share my experience. Spasms are most probably are the muscles 'shaking off' the tension they have been carrying for a while. The need to scream - same, but for emotions. I've had spasms myself (not often, but I did). As far as screaming, I didn't have that exact reaction, but I for sure wanted to punch the sh*t out of anything. I did follow the need (obviously, I didn't harm any of the living being, and used my pillow for beating up), and I also wrote down all the thoughts that were surfacing at those moments. 'I feel really angry with.....' and something something. Usually those were memories of events that happened in the past. As you keep doing the exercises, the symptoms will ease out. Again, that was my personal experience and I am not claiming that this is how it works 100% for everyone. But maybe you'll find this helpful.
Hello there! Sometimes when we relax, we find there is a whole other layer of tension, impulses, or emotion to feel, underneath the initial constriction. You might get curious about what shows up for you when you relax, and see if you can allow yourself to express some of that through gentle movement or sound.

Emily, you're an angel. Thank you!

Are there any somatic exercises for heavy legs or aches and pains in the legs?
This is a great suggestion for a future video. In the meantime, you might find some relief from my videos on working with pain. Here is the first of two: ua-cam.com/video/Y6yDHdInJBc/v-deo.html

Somatics helps ,but,my issues make them come back quick many times.
Hey I cried! how come?what was this? thank you!!!
Crying is usually a sign of emotional release. You probably were storing some emotional or stress energy in your body and the exercises helped that energy to discharge.
I cried. I could barely say HA. Afterwards I feel a bit better
Will this relieve neck pains?
I really hope so, but you won’t know until you try it out. It may not work for everyone to resolve tension and there may be longer or deeper tension patterns that need something else to release.
Hey, why do i get muscle spasm or wanna scream when my muscles relax? How do i get rid of that?
Hey! I am NOT a specialist, but I've been doing somatic exercises for the trauma release for quite some time, and I can share my experience.

@@anitagoshchin9525 ah thank you so much makes me feel less alone. Thank you for responding i will try it out !!

🙏
Cant do it on my own
Would you mind sharing a bit more? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
Lots of yawning for me. I must've been holding onto a lot of stored energy, huh?
Is this a yoga video? 😂 Are you kidding me? Is this like screaming in a subway tunnel to relive stress! Haaaaaah.
This is not a yoga video - this is a video with body-based tools to relieve tension.
Thanks!
Thank YOU so much for your support 🩵
