Intro to Limbic System Retraining Exercises | re-origin.com

Показать описание
Limbic system retraining refers to any exercises aimed to restore proper function to the limbic system. More often than not, for those struggling with a chronic health condition, the limbic system has been reset to default to a heightened state of arousal and anxiety. This leads to hyper-sensitization and increased levels of immune activity and inflammation.

In such cases, the goal of any limbic system retraining exercise program should be to systematically desensitize the limbic system with respect to the triggering stimuli. This is all possible thanks to neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s innate ability to change both its structure and its function in response to new activity and information. If you’ve ever gone from not knowing how to ride a bike, and then being able to find your balance and ride… you’ve used neuroplasticity. If you once were afraid to fly, and now you love jet-setting off to different places… you’ve used neuroplasticity. Every time a new habit, routine or skill is acquired, the brain has changed accordingly.

When it comes to rewiring the stress response, there are a small handful of basic principles that make up good limbic retraining exercises.

5 Key characteristics of limbic system retraining exercises
The process of improving brain function by building new beneficial neural pathways is made possible thanks to brain plasticity. Just like a muscle can respond to training, so too can the limbic system change with the help of deliberate brain retraining or ‘rewiring’ exercises. However, not all exercises are created equally. For anyone looking to overcome a heightened threat reflex, the following elements must be included in an effective brain retraining program:

Identification
The person must become aware of the heightened stress response, what triggers it, and how it feels in the body and mind.

Interruption
The limbic retraining exercise should prompt the individual to interrupt the vicious cycle of reacting to symptoms. This is typically done through a combination of body language, somatosensory mapping, and NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programing to rewrite any old mental scripts or trauma loops

Elevated Emotion
The person must learn to shift their brain chemistry from CAN (Cortisol, Adrenaline, Neurepinephrine) dominant to DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins) dominant. This is typically done through mental rehearsal and/or allowing oneself to become immersed in a positive and pleasant sensory experience. Listening to music, dancing, visualizing health, and walking in nature are all good options.

Somatic Experience
It isn’t enough to simply intellectually understand this process in the cortex. Rather, an emotional shift must be felt in one’s body. It is for this reason that such sayings as: “Lose your mind, come to your senses” can be helpful to employ.

Intrinsic Reward
The process of identifying, interrupting, and replacing an old unpleasant experience or response with a new positive one, eventually becomes its own reward and thus triggers the release of dopamine with respect to the act of improving one’s brain through limbic retraining exercises. It becomes easier and easier to maintain motivation, and results beget further results.
Repetition, repetition, repetition

Bruce Lee once said: “I don’t fear the man who practiced 10,000 different kicks. I fear the man who practiced 1 kick, 10,000 times.” - A core principle of any effective brain rewiring program is repetition. If permanent change is the goal then it must be understood that, just like going to the gym, the brain and body do not change in any meaningful way based on what is done once or twice. Rather, it’s what you do repeatedly that leads to lasting change.

I’m currently 5.5 months in to DNRS. I fully believe neuroplasticity is the key to healing many things. It’s not easy to retrain the brain, in my experience, but I know it will be worth the effort.

25+ years of “manageable” hyper vigilance and CFS here, until the total crash. Videos like this are very helpful and I’ll be (kindly) giving it my all 👍. Looking forward to more content. Thank you 🙏

One month into DNRSand it probably saved me from the Looney bin. Thanks so much for your sharing of this information

Have been told I have to retrain my brain due to suffering chronic pain after too much stress and trauma, 20 months ago.
I have burning sensations etc that have moved around inside my mouth and cheeks.
Learning about this helps

Just started DNRS. Trying to get motivated to keep doing it! Take so much commitment. I'm hoping to get help for my anxiety and lasting symptoms from Lyme

Ive been struggling with motorway driving for over a year now. Had a severe anxiety episode on the motorway and struggled driving on the motorway since. This definetly sounds relatable to what you talk about. My sympathetic nervous system kicks in and detects danger when i enter the motorway.

Your programs sounds so interesting… I am five months into DNRS… And it’s been a lifesaver… But I love listening to your videos too. Thank you for sharing.

Yes using a Christian platform doing visualization, distraction methods, smiling like you mentioned, box breathing, getting outdoors to hike, reminding me of God promises etc.,

Hey Ben,
Delfino here from Mexico 🇲🇽, great video content.
I can't wait for the introduction info zoom call tomorrow!
I love the fact that you did not edit this video.
We truly appreciate this.
Thank you.

The issue with mcs, is that many people are stuck in a place that they are reacting to 24/7. So it's not introducing something because your always there in a state of hyper reaction

I still have no clue of what it is. I have been watching so many videos about this promising to explain what it is, and they are just all selling a programme, not explaining one exercice. Sounds like a scam to me.

Why are all these programs so expensive? They are economically exclusive.

Hi, thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have been looking for a video therapy to heal my brain or reset my brain to heal from fibromyalgia, fatigue, and chronic pain .

Are the techniques you utilize very complex with many steps like DNRS and the Lighting Process? These seem way too intense and involved for someone who is extremely panicked by their symptoms or whatever stimulus. Thanks.

I will look into your because Annie Hopper's DNRS did not help me AT ALL. If anything, I found it incredibly frustrating and counterproductive.
