This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam. And in this podcast, I talk about the importance of stillness is stillness overrated, or it's underrated? Well, I think in a therapeutic setting, stillness is super important in the overall healing quotient that people can gain when we give them the space to relax, to soften, to rest and settle. You know, when I do a session with somebody, and we do a lot of stimulating things, I always build in at the end of the session, some time for them to have some stillness, and I hold the space for them, I'm tracking their nervous system to make sure that everything is okay. But most of the time, when they spend time in stillness, it is a game changer in the therapeutic process. So here's a short presentation on why I like stillness, something that I've learned about the stillness, that I teach people how to listen to their bodies responsiveness, and follow that, instead of overriding it with the shoulds, oh, I shouldn't really go there, I shouldn't really do that. And yet, within a structure, so I have to be careful that they just don't go off. But within that structure, can they follow, there's bought their bodies impulse, and it's in mostly in the area of sensation. I don't necessarily support the emotional part, if it's a new kind of emotion, maybe, but I don't want them to, to re stimulate the trauma. So it's more of the sensation. And you know, it's not so much for me, this is my opinion, it's not so much about the trauma, but it's what we do afterwards. It's like, okay, we have had a birth trauma. But then what's there for us after to, you know, integrated process it? And part of the PTSD that goes on going? is there's nothing, there's no support around? Well, what do I do with this? What do I do with his imprint? And when they go in the stillness, there is the opportunity for those imprints to surface in a safe way. And then that's where alumni come in and do some cranial, or, you know, some of the other techniques you're talking about. But it's like, it's a call and response. And the call would be the vestibular stimulation, okay, now, what's the response, and let the body have its release, unwinding, one of the things that I get frustrated with in the rehab model is that there's no space for the integration or metabolism and metabolism. And so I've learned that if I can hold the space of stillness, and allow the body, the nervous system, the fluid body to express that it will resolve on its own, but it's outside of my own time, space, you know, expectation, and sometimes the session continues after the formal time it's over. And I knew that was going to happen with with Caitlin, that the session would go on. And this is my prediction, I didn't want to say it out loud. But then all of these things would start happening. And I did it because I got out of the way, because I could have stopped it and, you know, try these interventions or whatever.
