- Learn how to regulate your nervous system with the Top-Down vs Bottom-Up approach!
Ben Ahrens, co-founder of re-origin, dives deep into the 'Top-Down' and 'Bottom-Up' approaches.
The Top-Down approach refers to using your mind and brain to create regulation in the system, whereas the Bottom-Up approach uses your body and senses to create regulation and normality in the system.
Top-down Approach: Use your rational mind to understand discomfort does not equal danger! Acknowledge and let feelings of agitation flow through and out of us.
Bottom-up Approach: Use slow, deliberate breathing to bring your body into relaxation and to feel more grounded. Slow movement can also help to release the feeling of being stuck.
If you're stuck in that tired and wired sympathetic state, approaches like top-down and bottom-up can help you get back into a parasympathetic state (rest & digest). You can even try to combine both for more efficient regulation!

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I can attest to the effectiveness of these techniques. The mid brain and reptilian brain work quicker than the frontal lobes and can often become hyper reacters that push us into the stress response. Neurons that fire together wire together,....but breathing, movement and mindfull awareness can counteract the unconscious stress responses. The frontal lobes can modulate and rewire the sympathetic nevous system responses and kick in the para sympathetic system. If you find yourself too easily stressed you must also consider nutritional deficiencies as well. B vitamin deficiency, especially thiamine or B1 deficiency can cause pseudo hypoxia in the neurons that stimulate the fight or flight response. It can also cause arythmias, gastro intestinal issues, anxiety and a host of other things including chronic fatigue and panic attacks. A high carb diet will sap both thiamine and magnesium from the body. Magnesium is the calming mineral. Even a subclinical deficiency in b vits or thiamine can cause problems in you brain and body.
I liked the separation and explanation of top down and bottom up. I am stuck in a world of dizziness and lightheadedness and this was interesting
@lanise, have you been tested for BPPV/ear crystals? They cause dizziness and lightheadedness. There are maneuvers you can do, such as the Epley. Lots of info here on UA-cam. I hope you get better! ❤️🩹
Thank you Ben--love the way you explain all of this--I am putting this all in practice .😊
That’s really cool to learn! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any insights on leadership and how the brain works when leading?
I love your channel and I'm grateful that you share real, helpful info with us. I wish the image wasn't so jerky though. It irritates my poor, damaged nerves.
Thank you Ben~ Do you a have a “Retrain your Brain for sleep / insomnia” video?
Or a specific one you suggest? 😴
❤ this!!!! Thank you! 🤗
So happy I found your channel Ben ❤
Great channel Ben! Will give this a try.
Thank you Ben 🙏Great video, does your 28 day program work with chronic pain?
Yes it does! This program is amazing for chronic pain and many other health issues. I've been in the program for about 10 months and have seen huge improvement. I highly reccomend it!
I use breath work, exercise, affirmations, meditations, and body scans on a daily basis. I have crippling insomnia. Not sure this simplistic plan of things I’m already doing is going to change anything.
Thank you
That is very helpful. Could you comment on the dysfunction of the vagus nerve in relation to the military neck?
Hello dear friends, It helps to know something!
Do you have any breathing exercises for weather sensitivity/weather dependence?
Also for intercostal neuralgia?
When the weather changes, I literally die!
Thank you very much.
God bless you.

Liked ur take on the topic👍👍👍
The good and the bad...the good: Ben is an excellent communicator, the bad: the jerky video is a distraction not only from his teaching, and jarring for those of us with brain impairment. It is literally bombardment with so many image changes. The good: I like the idea of having influence over my primitive brain by using breathing, movement, and grounding techniques. Thanks. The fact that re-origin makes this information available to everyone is another good thing.
I have trigeminal neuralgia. It’s also called the suicide disease. Extreme shocks and stabs of pain to the face along with intense burning. These shocks can be every minute for days or months. I cannot work anymore , brush my teeth or eat. If I made any movement I get a sharp stab.would your method work for me ?
@@Ginah, I’m so sorry you are dealing with that! From what I have been learning about brain retraining, what you are describing sounds exactly like something that can be controlled with the brain and therefore positively affected with brain retraining. I hope you give it a go and that it helps you quickly! ❤❤
Thanks so much for the video Ben! I've got one question that I've been looking to ask for quite a while: Is fight or flight basically the same as aggression?
@Zach, I don’t think so. I haven’t heard too many chronically ill people say they felt aggressive. The nervous system is subconscious, so we’re really not aware of it. You can be calm& at peace, but you’re NS can be stuck in fight or flight. :)
Can u pls link the videos referred
