This goes hand in hand with someone working through trauma while still being exposed to the environment where the traumatic experience happened. Even after all the danger is gone the body still reacts.

Wow, that explains a lot. I had a lot of trauma while living in our family home, this meant depression until I got more than 20 years. I finally was able to move away and got better. Then I had to come back To the familiy home for a few months. Even when things had changed in my family just staying there near my mom caused me the worst anxiety and depression of my life. The body can't forget.

That happens with me in surfing. I get anxiety when there are people around because got injury in similar situation and it effects my balance and paddling. But where I am alone in water, I have no problems with balance even with big waves.

@@oleksiifedosov579 totally. I saw a boy's body pulled from the water when I was 22. When I had my first child at 24 I was terrified to even bathe him. Now, a decade later, if we go to any body of water to play the anxiety is torture.

choreography; complex and long routines requiring body memory to execute is even more advantageous as the mind shuts off.

Don't know if you'd remember my previous comments, but I'm a long-time watcher and occasional commentor who's been going through a journey of postural correction myself. I yesterday had a 'a-ha' moment of counting 1-2 beats while walking - before I hadn't understood how so much of what PRI is, and posture and movement itself, is rhythm. Thank you for all your content, which has helped me untold amounts and led me to my recent realisation.

@@NealHallinan Hello Neil. I was curious if there are certain qualities to look for in an office chair from a postural restoration perspective? Any chairs you would recommend? Thank you for everything.

Love how your videos focus on the big picture and the importance of how our brains interact with the world and dictate posture through sensation. The vast majority of channels that discuss PRI on youtube look at it from a biomechanics perspective (which has a lot of value imo) but your videos are always great for putting it all together. Cheers

I’m a yoga teacher and I learned through your videos that I have a pattern of doing demo poses with my right side alot and it put me into asymmetry with my right side significantly tighter than the left. I’ve also danced all my life but stop practicing when I took the yoga teaching course, and after a year of teaching yoga I can feel my right side so tight and I feel stuck all the time. After watching this video I immediately put on some music, trying count the beat equally on both sides and start dancing. Lo and behold my body start shifting, I can switch between left and right easily and my breathing gets easier. This video truly save my life. 😊thank you Neal❤❤❤

Kasia! That warms my heart!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found this channel. I’m a very habitual creature and am convinced that my rigid routines have been greatly contributing to my movement gradually becoming more and more asymmetrical and painfully restricted over the years. It isn’t stressed enough just how terrible bilateral movements(like push ups and pull ups) can be when you already suffer with such levels of asymmetrical functionality. I hope your channel continues to reach more people. Thank you.

Totally makes sense, like leaves blowers and mowers can actually cause a person to lose focus.

HOLY SHIT - that’s revolutionary! I feel I must have so many places which trigger and tighten me up = like my desk or any time on camera in front to present for work! More people need to watch this!!!

So glad I discovered this channel. I'm also a dance teacher and run a large dance center. Suddenly I finally understand my own behaviour.

This is unbelievable. Thank you!!

Simply brilliant!!

I switched from one long time job to another due to postural patterns only to repeat a new pattern in the new job, I stopped working, got my left eye fixed, new teeth and barefoot now. The patterns in my brain needed to move, so I attempt to do near on everything I can with the breath and not at speed. Warm regards Neal you lifesaver you!

Great to hear there. Closing in on resonating forces in and around us. 🤸‍♀️💃🕊🎵

God bless you neal. And many thanks 🎉

🎶❤️as a dancer starting my PRI journey, All of you brings me even more joy..TY Neil..🎶🥰🤗💝🙏❤️✨🎶

I'm now listening to music while I work on the computer, it makes me move on the chair instead of being stuck in the same position for hours. Thank you!!

Sensory awareness... that speaks volumes to me I'm far from the body condition currently but I do remember the difference of chasing something and being off balance, even if going slow. Alternatively I remember the feel of walking with center and I always felt space feels different. Like you are your focus and not something external... feelings are messy

Neal, your information is amazing and incredibly helpful! Thank you!!! ♥️😇♥️

Neal, you're brilliant!

This actually explains much!

Was with Dr. Lecca and Jennifer this morning for my mouth appliance. Awesome and crazy!- the walls and doorways became clearer and stopped moving - helps explain my 19th percentile proprioception dx. Seeing eye doctor tomorrow :-) 🎉❤

Wow. Glad I found this channel.

Thanks for everything Neal. After discovering your channel, I found a postural practitioner in Michigan, Craig Stasio The change has been dramatic. Still have some ways to go, but the exercises prescribed have reduced SO MUCH PAIN. I'm going to need an alf for the jaw, in the end. God bless you man

Amazing! While more Trauma oriented, it makes me think of the books: The Body Remembers and the other The Body Remembers.

Would love to hear how someone like that can un-train the situational tension patterns!

Hi neal, I have a question. I saw your video on right torsion and you recommend an acrylic splint. I was wondering if its possible to wear one with braces or if there are any alternatives to the splint like elastics that are often used to correct a shifted dental midline.

Wow

I have spots like these in my daily life, I can feel how I tense up when I approach them, I just haven't figured out how to undo such a pattern again after it forms without completely changing the environment which isn't always feasible - do you have any advice on what kind of changes I can do to the environment? Or how I could find out which parts of the environment precisely effect me?

The only thing I can recommend is keeping variability in your life: different activities, sensory rich environments, movement etc…in your life. On the other hand, sometimes just knowing there is a reason for what you are experiencing liberates you from the worry you have about the experience. It may be annoying, but it’s not life threatening. My brain doesn’t like narrow rooms, but it is what it is and I don’t worry about it bc it’s just a temporary phenomena

Do you think this would correlate to living at the same home for 15+ years? I was just thinking this the other night before watching this video! I work from home, too. You have a great mind and drive for solving mysteries! Thank you.

Hi, I am experimenting with slacklining recently. It helped me alot with my instability (I have hEDS), also I can feel my left side deeper. it is very interesting to explore slackline with PRI because it is constantly challenging the primal fear of falling unless you relax and control your body. What do you think?

Would using the computer screen all the time cause your eyes and brain to be l ones into a certain pattern? I am always dizzy/ off balanced feeling when walking around and noticed my eyes feel very strange and almost binocular vision feeling. Any thoughts? I have had a lot of medical testing done, eye exams and PT for vestibular therapy. Nothing seems to help me. I am cleared medically that there isn’t anything “wrong”

WOW! That was amazing! Neal, your videos have re-ignited my passion for movement ever since I discovered them! Also, would you ever be open to a paid internship? I'd love to shadow you and learn from you in person.

Neal, do the cranial issues can happen not only by oclusion conflicts but just for bruxism tightness? Do you know if displaced jaw disks can be corrected?

Music might help with body rhythm and movement, but a big irony here is that musicianship itself might "pattern" your body more than anything. Instruments are so hard on the body. My mind loves it, but strings keep me constantly injured. A musician has more rhythm than most, and yet brutalizes the body.

Hi! Myobraces that were made by an dentist can solve TMJ and malocclusion? Also I am in a Left AIC, right BC Patern because of my jaw problem. Can myobraces solve these problems?

When you say the issues generally happen on the right side because most people are right handed? I’m left handed/left side dominate, left side is compressed and tight while my right is weak and uncoordinated

Do you recommend non professional to take PRI courses to better educate themselves, and potentially self-diagnose/ treat?

I always sleep on the far right side of my bed and before I sleep I will lay there with my phone in my right hand looking at my screen on the right side. I feel off sleeping/laying on the left side. I wonder if that’s related at all

Left AIC Right BC pattern can be related to uneven bite, TMJ PAIN and jaw misalignment? My right TMJ is painful when I move my jaw right-left-right and sometimes when I largely open the mouth. I have neck pain and right shoulder pain and the shoulders are uneven. My right limbar side is compressed and the left QL hurts. My right leg feels shorter and my hips are uneven. I am a mouth breather for almost 5 years caused by a deviated septum. Can you tell me, please… Jaw was affected by mouth breathing and then my posture was affected? From where I should start? I should start to treat my deviated septum and then my jaw? I used braces till age of 18, till then I had no problems with back, then the problems started…

Absolutely! The jaw (the back teeth) and heel sense (feeling the heels under the ground) is largely responsible for the correct posture of the body. If one of those is off, the whole body can get out of whack. I need a dental split or alf to get my body fully operational again. But there' a lot of things you can do with just exercise to mitigate the pain

@zvonijeli8494

It‘s psychological tightness. He always teaches in the exact same place, the music is coming from the same direction and subconsciously maybe he is bored and sick of that every day same location. It‘s just to repetitive for the brain. Hope that kinda makes sense. It‘s like when you only use your right hand, leg and so on for everything

neurofeedback helps

Did he go into tension because it was the same place and our brain loves novelty or did he go into tension because in that spot his brain feels a threat when he teaches (even if he doesnt conciously feel it) and his body remembers that spot as a threat... ?

Can someone explain why i don't feel the ground on both sides ?

Interesting, must not have been the music for this person since you state he worked with you in other areas of the dance studio and was neutral so is it because he always works in that area of the studio? Have you narrowed it down to the cause for this person? If this is so, then would the solution for him be to redecorate this area of the dance studio every so often? Interesting!

I'll have another video about this. This corner of the dance studio has his computer setup where he does lots of wedding picture editing and it's so time consuming that it stresses him out. I think his brain associates the corner with stress. We were able to inhibit the tension/process through PRI activities.

Posture won't save you if you're undergrown.

Fitting this one is in the voice of a woman. I’ve heard this tale told the same way before, poking holes in the Bible. Everyone loves to poke at the Bible, and the Christian God. But you never hear channels like this poke at other religions. You never hear them mock Krishna, Buddha, the Muslim God or the Jewish faith. You won’t see this channel mock the Kabbalah, numerology or astrology in such a tone as was in this video.

This is sick
