    I'd also like to add my thanks and gratitude to Alan and all the folks who made this program happen, and who continue to work on refining it! And to everyone who quoted Winnie the Pooh. ;)

    New Program Day 12: Cognitive Soothing

    Thanks, Aziz - this is encouraging. I'm also reading some other books on energy healing, and have faith that I can overcome this. I suppose I've already generated "proof" because at some point I simply decided that gourmet chocolate wasn't a problem for me, and now I keep some around to make me...

    New Program Day 17: Leaning in to Your Feelings

    @Bodhigirl I know this is several days behind, but I lost a few days, and figured I'd post anyway... I was reading your post and was going to say exactly this, and then you said it yourself. Get it on paper! (I'm telling myself this, too). I was doing some journaling exercises at one point, and...

    New Program Day 12: Cognitive Soothing

    I've always been a "sensitive soul," as someone once called me. It rang true, and it seems I'm drawn to "kindred spirits" (Anne of Green Gables, anyone?) and other sensitive souls as friends. But it seems like so many of us have TMS symptoms or are struggling with food-related sensitivities. I...

    New Program Day 9: Somatic Tracking

    I feel the same way. The very first mindfulness meditations I ever learned to do were body scans that totally helped me sleep and calmed me down. Noticing sensations and being "in" my body keeps me grounded and present. It seems to be the best way to keep our minds from spinning to the past...

    New Program Day 6: The Fear Matrix

    Here's my synopsis/understanding of everything so far, in digestible segments: (Let me know if I'm misinterpreting anything) • As a result of being raised in an actual unsafe environment (or experiencing a trauma, etc), my brain developed a belief that I am not safe and a pattern (bad habit) of...

    New Program Day 2: The Nature of Pain

    Thanks, Alan, for offering this program. I've started the other programs but haven't worked that far through any of them, for one reason or another (Time! My new baby!). But I'm going to try my damnedest to stick to this program in real-time. I find that my healing path (my whole life) is a...

    What is a healthy way to express anger?

    Hi all, In my writing today, I think I realized that I don't outwardly express anger very often, and am not even sure exactly how it feels in the body...besides "hot." I tend to get frustrated, anxious, sad, or scared/worried about any number of things...but I'm not a person who tends to feel...

    Day 6 - To stretch or not to stretch

    @ThatBookBlewMyMind Nope - I haven't seen one in a while. My daughter was born in December, and I "threw my back out" in February but had just picked up Sarno's book that day. I freaked out and cried about the pain and my awful luck, but then started to read the book and it changed everything...
