This Brain Filter Is Keeping You in Chronic Pain - Reticular Activating System (RAS)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain or illness, there’s something important you need to understand…
It’s not just what’s happening in your body,
it’s how your brain is filtering your experience of it.
In this video, we break down how one powerful system in your brain, the Reticular Activating System (RAS). It may be keeping you stuck in patterns of pain, stress, and limitation… without you even realizing it.
You’ll learn how your thoughts shape your perception, how that perception influences your nervous system, and how this loop can either support healing… or keep you stuck.
We also explore this through the lens of:
Psychoneuroimmunology (how your thoughts affect your immune system)
Polyvagal theory (how your nervous system responds to stress and safety)
Mind-body awareness and healing
And most importantly…
I’ll walk you through two simple daily practices you can start using right away to begin shifting this pattern and retraining your system toward healing.
