Hi @cloud i want to send you more support. were you able to breathe through the panic? How is it now on the other side of yesterday? I wonder if giving yourself your unconditional love and expressing your love to yourself might be an excercise worth trying. As i type this i wonder, how would i...

Oh @cloud I so sorry to read of another loving, responsible nurse in the vice grips of petty tyrants. Nurses are some of the noblest people i know. Being a caretaker of a high-demand parent with a spectator sibling is draining in ways that sucked the life juice from my body. Bitter taste and dry...

This thread is a deep one for me. I was in front of my Dad’s grave the other day, it also holds my mom and youngest brother. My sister opted for the ocean as the resting place for her ashes. The paralyzing sciatica right after my Dad died last february is what led me to this forum and the wiki...

@Duggit Thanks for bringing How Emotions Are Made by Barrett in to this thread. I found out about that book while reading Dr Monty Lyman’s description of how our brains are prediction machines (Chpt 4) in his fantastic book “Immune Mind” (another great suggestion from someone’s post here in the...

@Margot!! I was so jazzed to see your post about the Frontier article. I read it a while back and was very excited about the way they brought in the statistics of neural landscapes. It makes so much sense. I don't have time to write more just yet but wanted to thank you for bringing it up.

@GTfan, I'm going through similar ancillary pain as I heal from an accident that crumbled my ankle (distal end of tibia). My physical therapist suggested that there may be compensation going on, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia (of which there are many in the foot) took over for the...

Day 20 PROMPT: if you could change one thing what steps would you take to do that? I am returning to the SEP after a tramatic accident that crushed my ankle and wounded my shin. The experience (both the wounding and the subsequent healing) gave me an opportunity to look deeply at my ongoing...

Wow @Thibaut33 that’s an exciting uplifting Day 11 entry. I’m happy for you. The power of the body to heal is so womdrous. The willingness to let fear be fear and not let it stop you is also wondrous. Hope your vacation includes bicycling. Cheers.

Dear @mk.maria, i realize your question is addressed to Dr. Schubiner so I apologize in advance if it is not appropriate or helpful for me to respond; however, i’ve been posing the same question to myself. As i ponder this and also read about current research on the nervous system, i’m struck by...

Since starting the SEP have I done something that has made me proud? Where does this sense of achievement come from? When I started to answer this Day 19 prompt my first thought was “yes, deciding to take the time and doing the 8-day Vipassana silent retreat; disappearing my sciatica through...

Nice reworking. Miss the navy jargon. ;-)

Hi Improvery. Welcome to the wiki. I had a similar experience. During a strength training session i injured my right groin. After doctor referral to PT, then 1 year with PT (and piezowave therapy) with no relief, PT encouraged me to get MRI because she was convinced i had a torn labrum. MRI...

That’s what the buddha (and many other enlightened ones) said too.

Wow, i’m very surprised by this statement because i’m floored by how active the forum is. Perhaps i have this impression because i click on the “all recent threads” on the blue bar at the top of the posts. There are so many people giving feedback, discussing the feedback that’s been given...
