A Trick to Help with Emotional Sensations | Dr. Joan Rosenberg | Lewis Howes

when a feeling is triggered, there is a rush of biochemicals into our bloodstream that activate the bodily

sensations

that we are talking about and those same biochemicals come out of the bloodstream and about an upper limit of 90 seconds, so you may feel embarrassment with this redness or Any rash feeling that arises on your skin due to a situation, right? It comes through the brain first, like it comes through the mind, which connects to the brain and then flows through the nervous system, it can go both ways, so it's what people call background. process up and down, so it could be the body wiring the brain correctly because the body keeps the correct punctuation and then or it could be like I see something, I think something and then I feel something right, interesting, it can go both ways and you.

What I hear you saying is that it takes about 90 seconds for it to go away properly if you are able to recognize it and go through it and stay present over and over again, how do you stay? Breathing is correct breathing. Breathing is the key to doing it. In fact, I think so. I like to talk about it from the point of view of walking along the coast and the ocean waves coming and going from the coast, it's like they arise, no matter the degree of the tumult. They can be tumultuous waves, they can be medium or moderate waves and then they can be really light waves, but no matter what they come off shore, they seem to hang for a moment and then calm down, think about it, the same process is happening.

In terms of these sensational body waves, we're not talking about a single wave, we're talking about one or more waves, so the notion is that you want to be able to ride one or more short-lived body

sensations

. waves to stay present in the feeling, the challenge is if you are, if you resist the feeling so much and it's so painful or uncomfortable, then 90 seconds can feel like 90 minutes, you know what I mean? I just want to get away from this, so let me have a drink, let me eat, let me watch porn, you know, have sex, let me buy something, let me work harder so I don't feel this right feeling, why was there anything more to this?

So again, the key for me is then. It's like putting it all together, what you want is to be able to stay present, so it's choosing an awareness and then staying present in one or more short-lived waves of body sensations or riding those waves and understanding that what you can do is just breathe, pause, breathe and kind of pause so you can allow your breath to be like that wave of the ocean and that will

help

you stay present in the feeling.
