Did you know that more panic attacks happen
during the summer months than at any other time of the year?
Now, energetically, this makes total sense,
and I wanna share more information about that with you.
My name is Prune Harris.
I'm an energy expert.
I've been able to see energy for all my life,
since I was born,
and I've worked in private practice
with amazing people like you for over 20 years,
really teaching how,
through understanding your human energy system,
you can understand and affect every part of your life.
So, when we think about panic attacks,
I wanna share with you what happens energetically.
Your energy system is designed to be
in an amazing continuous flow
with energy moving from beneath your feet
all the way up through your head
and, simultaneously, energy moving from above your head
all the way through your amazing, electromagnetic body
all the way down and past your feet.
When you begin to feel overwhelmed
and that begins to move towards a panic,
then actually, that flow from above
down through the body gets flipped,
and suddenly, all of the energy in your body system
is rising, rising, rising.
Now, that is overwhelming.
What happens is it begins to totally choke up
around the throat,
and for those of you who experience
that kind of panic attack overwhelm,
then that will something you're really,
really familiar with.
That feeling that suddenly there's energy
and heat moving strongly through your system,
kind of leaving nothing in the lower part of your body,
no stability, no grounding,
none of that feeling of nice, gentle solidity
as you stand upon the Earth and walk through your day.
Instead, it all constricts in the throat.
It separates your ability to really connect
your rational processing mind
with the wisdom of your heart,
that joy, that spontaneity and connection.
So, all of that means that that big feeling of overwhelm
moves into panic
and leaves you feeling incredibly vulnerable.
Now, let's think about it in relation to summer.
Summer, hopefully, wherever you are,
has some good summer heat,
and it's that heat that can exacerbate
a propensity in your energy system
to actually move up out of balance.
If you're someone who doesn't really
get affected by heat very much,
then it's unlikely that your system
moves more to panic in the summer,
but for those of you who feel
that you struggle with heat in some way,
then, actually, that increased heat rising in your system
can really leave you feeling ungrounded and vulnerable.
So, let's do an exercise.
I wanna show you one that would be lovely for you to do
at any point through the summer.
And for those of you who don't necessarily
experience panic attacks
but who really often feel overwhelm,
then this is also a beautiful way for you to work.
Take our hands.
You're gonna place them on your chest
and just rake your fingers out from the midline
all the way towards the outer edge of the trunk.
If it feels good to you,
you could smooth down through the throat as well.
If you don't like your throat being touched,
then just do the same action through your energy field.
That's the amazing thing about energy.
It doesn't have to involve your physicality.
Now we're gonna be smoothing that energy
all the way down the body system.
Remember, what we're doing is inviting that balance
to reestablish between beneath the feet and above the head.
So, bring your arms up to the level of your forehead
and then just smooth your hands
all the way down your energy field.
And go as slowly as feels good to you,
down at least to your pelvis area
and then you're just gonna bring your arms back up,
your palms facing your body
and then switching your palms to facing the floor,
and smooth all the way down again.
One last time.
(exhales deeply)
That's gonna really deeply reprogram that response.
We're gonna end by having one hand on the lower abdomen,
one hand on the forehead,
or if it feels better to you,
then pop that hand on top of your head.
And you might just feel into both ways
which feels best to you today.
Take a good breath here.
And I trust that by now,
you're already beginning to feel that big release
and relaxation in your body
that will move you away from overwhelm
or from panic attacks.
Now, great to do that exercise a few times a day
when you are in the process of overwhelm
or when it's very hot outside.

See you there, bye bye.
