CFS and Long Covid: How Brain Training Every Morning Can Accelerate Your Recovery

👉 ✅ Come join me in my new course! 🧠 Brain Retraining 101: For ME/CFS and Long Covid Recovery. Enroll now: raelan-agle-s-school1.teachable.com/p/brain_retrai…

What has really helped me is understanding that fatigue is just another response from the body when it thinks you are unsafe. If I have mild fatigue (not major) I don't go lay down right away in fear anymore, I tell myself I am safe and OK and keep doing what I am doing - and my fatigue goes away!

Thank you so much Raelan. You are doing incredible work for the ME/CFS community. ❤️ I am finally in the early stages of my recovery after discovering somatic tracking as my preferred method of brain retraining. It took me a while to find something that "clicked", but once it did, it was like a light bulb moment! I completely agree that brain retraining is the key to addressing the non-structural issues. Your channel was the first resource I found that introduced me to the idea that recovery from CFS was possible. It gave me so much hope during my lowest moments. The wide range of topics you cover and the advice you give is invaluable and I cannot believe it is all available for free. So many people cannot afford the expensive courses and are plagued with financial worries. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much for putting this wonderful video together, I hope it helps many who are suffering. I have recovered from over 3 years of Long Covid and being housebound, by learning and understanding the knowledge that you have put forward here, this has been gained by using your amazing channel and undertaking a mind body course. Your technique for brain retraining given here was key to my recovery and the phrases you use in the meditation were my mantras that I used throughout the day, especially when I felt myself going into overwhelm. They truly worked for me! My autonomic nervous system fought back making some of my symptoms worse for a few days but I didn’t worry about this instead I took it as a positive that the training was working (I learnt this on the course I undertook). Recovery occurred remarkably quickly and it’s totally incredible to have my health back. Sorry for the long comment - I just want others to have as much faith as possible in knowing this is an amazing path to healing. ❤ Thank you Raelan, you are the most amazing and generous person ❤

Wow, so simple, I am safe my body is fine ..... everytime I said it I got a rush of warmth!! I've been freezing with the temperature drop, my nervous system overreacting as it isn't that cold. And then the tears, the relief from the reassurance. I'm gonna do this each day in the morning 🌄 thank you!

Thanks for the shout out Raelan. Happy to be a member despite my ongoing issues with the cleanliness of your home. Plus, I’ve had several autograph requests since the posting of this video. A nice bonus.

While I agree with your solution I disagree that nothing is wrong physically. My feeling is thedysregulated ANS is preventing healing and the body regaining its balance. Things like microclots, mitochondria are are messed up but can recover if your body is in a healing state. It's a subtle but important difference to the way you presented it. There are things physically wrong but luckily they are things that can be healed and brought back into balance if you regain a healing state.

Raelan, you absolutely crushed that explanation of how our amygdalae are trying to help us survive. You also did a beautiful job of explaining and demonstrating the practice. You rock.🤘

I would love one day to be a recovery story on your channeone day.

You are democratizing this extremely key information leading to recovery! Thank you very much for all yourl are giving back to the community!❤

I am safe. My body is fine. Thank you from a new member! You are the patron saint of ME/CFS 🙏

This was a really great explanation! I started doing this when I was early retraining and incrementally training from neurocovid and would feel some mental fatigue from starting to do more cognition each day. I would put on some spa like music and lie flat on the floor(great bc you're grounding here too) and do exactly what you just described. I only had patience to do a few minutes at first but even just that was like a brain fog clearing exercise. This would also make me feel more alert and awake if I was having a mid-day blah. It was like a cup of coffee without all the negative effects. Sometimes when I am out and about and can't lay down I will just put on water music or bird sounds and put my seat back for 3-4 min in a parking lot. It's amazing!

Raelen, in my short time on your channel, you’re transforming from megaphone for others to being a healer yourself. More like this 🙏🏻

This is what I am working with my psychologist on. She herself is recovered. We are working with internal family systems and I believe this is my route through this.

Thank you. I combined this with IFS training and talked to the internal parts of me that didn't feel safe. Had a good chat with them, reached a true agreement that we are all safe. Will do this daily until it feels easy, Thank you 😊 🙏

Beautifully said! Love the exercise. I have learned so much from you and your channel. So grateful for what you do 💖

Your channel is so inspiring. I watch your videos when I’m having a flare up and they give me so much comfort. I would love to hear more recovery stories from people who are or were in challenging life situations that they couldn’t control but recovered despite this. Carers for example, my teenage son has additional needs so it’s more of a challenge for me to feel in a safe space. Would also love to hear your take on the effects of perimenopause and menopause on women with long covid and CFS. Keep up your amazing work 💕

Thanks Raelan - these tools are extremely useful to people those of us who have spent a lot of money trying different things; but haven't yet found that key to help us get through the door to healing ourselves. I'll give this one a try.

Thank you so much for this explanation of how the nervous system works and how to do a brain training exercise 🙏. Looking forward to hearing a follow up exercise while having symptoms after doing to much (as I do so often..) ❤

This is an excellent video on brain training Raelan, your explanation is so clear and I finally feel like I've gotten my head around brain retraining, even though I've been hearing and reading about it for months. Thank you for making this video - super duper helpful. Please keep up the work you are doing for so many people who are suffering, myself included. Lots of love.
