Part 2: Somatic Tracking Practice/Expression for Chronic Pain/Symptoms

To Access Part 1 which goes over what we are trying to do with somatic tracking go to:

Here is Part 2- the practice of somatic tracking for symptoms and feelings. This is can be used as a 10 minute guided daily practice. You can take the brain and nervous system training here and apply it to your day, especially when you notice yourself resisting, fighting with, or catastrophizing over your symptoms. This is real brain and nervous system training to change your neural patterns in relation to your body feelings and sensations.

I’m paying 165$ a session at the pain psychology center and you’re YT is full of the same free advice they’re giving me. I don’t think people realize how valuable the info on. Your channel is. Thank you thank you.

Just watched this twice. I’ve listened to and read many folks doing this and you’re the one who speaks to me the most.

This is the best somatic tracking meditation I've heard so far. It is excellent! For me, you are communicating in a way that I feel supported and held while doing something that can be pretty scary! I am able to feel safe and lean into my feelings and emotions in a much easier way.

Thank you so much Alan! You have changed my life. I have been in extreme pain for 25 years and with your book The Way Out and the videos you post I am living a pain free life.
I could not sit without it feeling like I was sitting on a hot charcoal and now, following your instructions the pain is gone! It comes back occasionally when I am stressed but I just need to do my somatic tracking and it goes away. It has also showed up in other areas of my body, calf and back but that goes away too.
I am able to live a full life again, thanks to you.
I appreciate you and have much gratitude for what you have done. 👍🏼🥰

My head goes from spinning out of control to completely calm by the 5-6 min mark. Unbelievable. Thanks Jim 🙏

I was in full symptoms flare this morning and tried several tools to no avail. Then I listened to this and wow! Symptoms went way down. Thank you!!

[pattywelch]

This was very helpful in reducing the fear & anxiety of my symptoms. I will definitely come back to it again. Thank you!! I plan on listening/watching some of your other videos.

[michellemorrison]

I do this most days and have for the past few months. The most helpful and relatable somatic tracking exercise I have done by far. Highly recommended. Thanks so much Jim!

[MsBizaCat]

I've been listening to this almost every day for the last month or two and it's made a profound impact on my progress with changing my relationship with my physical symptoms as well as just developing mindfulness even outside of meditation. I even did a little bit of this on my own while running and saw a difference! If you ever upload this on insight timer or for download I will pay :)

[TooskeDekker]

Jim is the best to calm down!!! I also did sooo much sessions. But when I listen this over and over again, I go better and better

[barber]

I want to thank you for being part of my life everyday . I am a Curable graduate and find that all your podcasts have enhanced my life. I do your somatic tracking every day❤️

[azseema]

All I can is God bless you, the way you express explain is truly divine. Keep continuing doing the good work.

[estherlaseur]

Thank you, I'm going to watch/listen/do this over and over again. It's really helpful to learn and accept and then know that my body knows what to do, and my mind is creating the problem

[barbarross]

This one video alone is anxiety gold. This calms me almost immediately.

[heidimay]

New to reprocessing and have listened to various guided somatic tracking recordings and I really love this one. Thank you so much!

[kathleenwharton]

As soon as you try to Control..you lose the Benefit. I have tried to do Mindfullness meditation for years and it never worked. You are the First and the Only person I have found who Teaches this Right. Thank You. It has been so beneficial for me.

[evelinel.]

This is such a great exercise, thank you so much for posting this! Alan Gordon states that Somatic Tracking is the "number one technique for healing chronic pain."

[devonwesterholm]

I can't thank you enough for posting this. I've listed most every day for the past month. While I've listed to some other somatic tracking, this is the best. Thank you so much for the impact you've had on my pain!

[GabrielaButler-ws]

I cannot express to you how much your channel has helped me manage and overcome my chronic pain. This video especially. Thank you so much for all of your work x

[hew]

LOVE this simple little meditation. I feel loved.
