Hey, I'm sex, love, and relationship therapist, Dr. Laura Berman, and for the last 30 years, I've been helping people just like you learn to love and be loved better. Welcome to the Language of Love Bites, where I tackle your most asked questions and requested topics. These episodes are designed to be fun, quick, and to the point. It's time we all become fluent in the language of love. It feels a little bit like the world is going crazy right now, not only on a global scale and on a COVID scale or post-COVID scale, but also on a personal level, right?

In our interpersonal relationships and within ourselves, there seems to be so much chaos right now. And it's enough to make you feel like you're going crazy. but I am here to tell you something seriously magical is afoot. Now we are in the midst of the transition right now, okay? And it is going to be bumpy for almost all of us. But the truth is we are actually going through something that teachers, metaphysical teachers and experts and prophets have been talking about forever, which is called the mass ascension. We are all going through a major awakening right now. And as a result, and there's some fascinating reasons

why this is happening, I'm going to get into, but as a result, it is creating a series of symptoms inside us, behavioral symptoms, emotional symptoms, physical symptoms that are not so comfortable. And a lot of them seem really crazy. And a lot of them make you want to go to the doctor and you go to the doctor and the doctor tells you nothing's wrong. Well, what you are experiencing is ascension syndrome. You ready to find out what that is? Let's get started. So if you have been alive in the world over the past several years, you have been living through unprecedented times, at least in our memory, those of us who are living on the planet today. And in many ways, what's happened on the planet really is it's for the first time in recorded human history in some cases. But here's what I want to talk about.

So we have COVID and all the illness that came with that and death and fear and loss and the shutdowns with isolation and the inability to go out and relationship issues coming to the forefront because we could no longer be on the hamster wheel and just be ships passing in the night and putting our issues under the carpet and not dealing with them. Like all this stuff was coming to the surface just by virtue of what was happening logistically in the world. But there's also been war and protest and injustice coming to light and inequality coming to light on a new way and in a new global scale. and the economy being in chaos and all sorts of controversy and division and fear and loss on a very personal level for, I don't think there's an individual on the planet that hasn't been affected by COVID and or the shutdowns and everything else that I've mentioned, but also on a meta scale, on a grand scale, collectively as a community and as a city and as a country and as a world, we have all been going through it. Now, that's just the stuff that most people know about and are talking about and are aware that they're living through. But there

are astrological things that are happening that haven't happened for four to six hundred years. There are planets aligning that have been predicted by astrologers and astronomers forever, but have actually now happened, and even the poles of the Earth have shifted. The other thing that's happened to the planet is that the Schumann resonance, which you can follow on the NASA website, but the Schumann resonance, which is named after this guy with the last name Schumann who discovered how to measure this, the Schumann resonance is the electromagnetic field of the planet, the energetic frequency of planet Earth. all of a sudden, interestingly enough, in 2021, right around the time that the pandemic was in

full swing, the Schumann resonance spiked massively and has continued to spike higher than it's ever been before since they've been recording the Schumann resonance. And solar flares are coming off the sun. They always come off the sun, but they're coming off the sun in greater frequencies and intensities than ever before. So there is a big old perfect storm happening energetically around us, between us in our individual and larger community world relationships, and energetically in terms of our body's frequency. So it is enough to make you think you're going crazy, okay? I'm here to tell you, you are not crazy. It's normal to feel scared, to feel confused, right? But there's a new level that's happening that are making people,

and person after person, myself included, I went through this as well, and I'm hearing it from all of you and from my clients and from my friends, everyone feels like they're going crazy. What I started to realize is that there is a collection of symptoms that everybody is reporting. And it's not just, I'm exhausted, and I'm stressed, and I'm tired, and I feel overwhelmed, right? We would expect that with what's happening. But there's a whole other level of symptoms that people are reporting. buzzing in the ears, loss of total appetite for the foods that they used to love and suddenly craving other foods. Things or behaviors or strategies they used to use to cope with things

that they didn't love or weren't so great in their lives are just no longer working. A desire to kind of isolate yourself, difficulty like hanging out with people that you could hang out with before with no problem. And in fact, even enjoyed relationships falling away. A lot of people reporting almost psychic experiences, hearing things that really aren't there, seeing auras or energy fields around people. Sleeplessness is another big one. Heart palpitations all of a sudden. And obviously, if you're having physical symptoms, go to the doctor. But what I've been hearing time and time again, what I experienced myself is that there's nothing wrong physically. There's no explanation that the doctors can find. What's happening to all of us is that we are going

through what is called ascension. Now, what is ascension? Ascension is essentially, and it's spelled with an A, A-S-C-E-N-S-I-O-N, right? Ascension is a spiritual awakening. That is what is happening to all of us. Now, how it is happening is really interesting because specifically with ascension, what's causing this spiritual awakening is in large part, not just the crises

and the chaos that's called all of us to attention to reevaluate our worlds and our personal lives and take stock of things and make changes. I mean, many of us were motivated to do that post-COVID and through COVID. But on an energetic frequency level, we are living on the planet Earth whose energetic frequency has drastically risen. And the planet doesn't match our energetic frequency. we entrain or match the earth's energetic frequency. Okay. That's one of the reasons that it's always so healing. And I'm always encouraging you to go to nature because when

you spend time in nature, you always feel better. Why? Because nature doesn't match your frequency. You match its frequency and nature is always holding a high stable, solid frequency. Well, right now, just being on the planet earth, you don't even have to go into the woods. you're at a high frequency and the earth's baseline human resonance energetic frequency has spiked and is holding steady there. So what's happening inside our bodies is that our bodies, which are pure atomic energy, our bodies hold an energetic frequency that is constantly shifting and changing. Our baseline body's energetic frequency has had to now rise drastically to match the Earth's frequency that we live on.

We live on this planet. We're going to have to match it. We don't have a choice. The process of raising the body's frequency so significantly and in such a short period of time creates all of these symptoms that we're having right now. The buzzing in the ear, the feelings of chaos, the feelings of overwhelm,

the cravings for different kinds of food, the exhaustion, the feeling like you're going crazy. These are all symptoms of what I call ascension syndrome because our bodies, our energetic frequency is ascending to match the planets right now. Calculating route to avoid seeing poverty. Turn left to bypass the unhoused youth sleeping on the street. Then keep right to skip by the lines of people waiting for food. Steer clear of the crowded shelter turning people away. Then take the next exit.

let's stop looking away and get in the way of rising poverty your donations help the united way fight poverty in thousands of ways like providing food shelter and crisis prevention donate today at unitedwaygt.org now as i taught you in quantum love right this is one of the secrets behind the secret is that our bodies are pure energetic frequency and we are emitting an energetic field around us and we're creating our own reality with that we're also affecting everyone around us with that and being affected by others' energetic frequency as well. One of the things that I taught you in Quantum Love is that as your energetic frequency rises, you want your energetic frequency to be as high as possible because the higher it is,

the more you are a frequency match to amazing things, things that are going to create feelings of joy, aliveness, excitement, inspiration, connection, forgiveness, all of those yummy things, you are then a magnet. The higher your frequency is, you are a magnet, a frequency match for those experiences, people, and situations that create those feelings in you, okay? Now, normally what happens and what I taught you in quantum love is that you raise your body's energetic frequency, not only through changing the way you think about things and learning ways to get unstuck in negative emotions, but also through healing. Because until you release the limiting beliefs and the wounds and the traumas, and when I say traumas, I don't just mean big T

traumas like major abuse. I mean, little T traumas like significant rejection, childhood bullying, hypercritical parents, abandonment, those kinds of things, emotional abandonment even. those are little t traumas until you face those and they're no longer running your lives right the normal process of reaching a higher level of frequency of calling in and being a frequency match to a higher vibration experience happens through gradual healing what is happening with ascension right now is that it's like the planet and the universe is saying uh-uh we don't have time for that anymore. We're just going to yank you right up here. Well, what happens is we get yanked right up there is that all of a sudden, all our shit is coming up. All our wounds are

coming up. All of a sudden, we're seeing really dysfunctional patterns that have been hidden in plain sight. All of a sudden, we're having to shed generational trauma and this lifetime's trauma and our parents' trauma, like all at once. And it feels exhausting and overwhelming. And this is what's happening to every single one of us as we are forced without choice. God bless the universe because this is going to be a good thing, but a bumpy ride. We are forced now to raise our energetic frequency, or I should just say our energetic frequency is raised and we have to catch up with it. And that is what is creating Ascension Syndrome. Now, it took me a while to figure all of this out because I was going through it myself. So in my usual geek fashion,

I started researching. I started talking to experts. I started interviewing experts. I needed to understand this. And I figured out what is happening and how to move with it. Hey, don't forget to go to drlauraberman.com. You can find so much great information there and sign up for my newsletter. So you get weekly updates on how to love and be loved better. And also on my website, you can get my brand new ebook. You're not crazy. You're just ascending. It's a practical guide to spiritual awakening that many of us are going through right now. And it's enough to make you feel crazy. So check it out. I'm here for you. Always helping you learn to love and be loved better. And there are so many ways to move with this.

the most important piece of this is to understand that you are not crazy. You're just descending because that allows you to soften into what's happening right now. If you try to make too much sense of it, if you try to resist it, if you try to hold on to those old patterns that are no longer working, right? Or relationships that are really toxic that you know you need to leave, but you're too scared to leave, right? We are just being kicked out the door, okay? Metaphorically, I'm not saying you're literally being kicked out the door, but it becomes intolerable or things will get so bad that you just have no choice but to leave. This is all in service. Now, we are in choice of how we're going to move with this, right? So, we could white knuckle it and grip

onto the walls and refuse, you know, try as hard as we can and be dragged along, which makes all of this so much more painful. Or we can surrender. Calculating route to avoid seeing poverty. Turn left to bypass the unhoused youth sleeping on the street. Then keep right to skip by the lines of people waiting for food. Steer clear of the crowded shelter turning people away. Then take the next exit. Let's stop looking away and get in the way of rising poverty.

Now, surrender doesn't come naturally to most of us because we're taught that we need to fix,

manage and control everything, right? And that we have some sort of control. Well, with Ascension, the only control you have is not whether or not it's happening to you. As long as you're living on the planet, it's happening to you. You have a choice on how, about how you're gonna move through it.

And moving through it with as much ease as possible was my goal. So what I've found is that We have to think of ourselves, and we already know this from science, and I taught you a lot of this science and quantum love. We have to think of ourselves as an energetic vessel. We are literally pure atomic energy. We seem solid and separate from each other, but we're pure atomic energy. Our bodies are energy. They're also 99% water, okay? So one really simple thing you can do to help these energies move more slowly through you or more calmly through you is to hydrate.

It is amazing how much it helps, especially to hydrate with things, drinks that have electrolytes in them. Okay. Because electricity energy is transmuted and moves through water, right? And we're 99% water. And so the more hydrated you are, and this has been shown time and time again, the less of that buzzing, feeling like zaps of energy moving through you, buzzing in your ears, buzzing in your body, heart rate suddenly escalating, headaches, those kinds of symptoms will drastically improve with hydration alone, much less with cleaner eating, which you are probably craving. You are probably finding that you can no longer drink alcohol like you once did, that those recreational drugs you used to enjoy send you on a trip that isn't that much

fun, right? So you're probably already being pushed into a little bit of a healthier lifestyle. Movement of any sort really helps move the ascension energies through you, okay? So these are just like simple practical tips I can give you right now. But there's also the larger healing that must be done. We are not going to be able to go around, over, or under this. The only way we can assimilate these new high vibrations is by facing our shadows. So any kind of shadow work you can do, that means trauma work, somatic healing, somatic experiencing or somatic healing as it's sometimes called, even talk therapy, anything, trauma-informed therapy, anything that can help you make sense of and work through your earlier childhood wounds, those stories

that you've adopted about not being worthy enough for love or feeling like an imposter or feeling fear of being alone or being abandoned. This is a time that requires we can no longer hide from our wounds. So you must find an ally, a healer, a therapist, a coach that can help you on your healing journey and that will drastically improve your ascension journey as well. And the biggest thing is a spiritual connection and a spiritual practice. So the more in your body you can be, even though most of us are way up in the clouds most of the time and on our phones and out of our head, you know, just in our heads and

not in our bodies. The more embodiment work you can do, grounding, go to my website, to the Quantum Love pages, to the meditation and do those grounding meditations, get back into your body. Movement not only helps move the energy, but also helps you get back into your body and also creating a deeper spiritual connection. And I don't mean in terms of religion. I mean in terms of connecting to your higher self, your essential self, or what I like to think of as your God self, your sort of that higher consciousness

that we're all part of and that we can all tap into and tune into. And I teach you a lot of this in Quantum Love, but I get really into it in this book that I've created for me and for you called You're Not Crazy, You're Just Descending, how to survive and thrive in this wild new world because there's lots in there, meditations and exercises for starting to build your intuition and your connection to spirit,

to your higher self, to the consciousness, to the oneness. Because as you start to tap into that and feel that support, all of this becomes so much easier and makes so much more sense. In addition, this is what ascension is doing, okay? Because once we move through ascension and are living in this higher frequency state, we are magic. There is instant manifestation. There are psychic abilities coming through that you didn't even know you had. You're getting messages. You're getting guidance. You're getting clarity. You're getting healing. You're seeing the truth of things. The veil is being lifted.

This is such a magical, magical place to be. It's just the ascension syndrome getting there is the hard part. So really cultivating that spiritual connection helps facilitate not only the transition, but is also planting the seeds for the magic that you, that all of us are stepping into. And that's the good news is that while ascension isn't his choice, it's happening to all of us. It's happening in service to all of us. It's happening to bring us back to oneness. This is the age of Aquarius from that movie, Hair, where they had that great song. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Remember that? Listen to it if you don't know what I'm, or even if you do know

what I'm talking about. Listen to it again, because we're in it. And this has been predicted for millennia. Nostradamus was talking about this, okay? This is the time. And it's a powerful, beautiful time. But it's a time during which we need support. We need to ground in our bodies. We need to be as gentle as we can with our bodies. And we need to heal what needs to be healed. And the other cool thing is that these high energies, these high frequency energies that we're living within and trying to assimilate to are extremely supportive for healing. So what I am seeing in my own life, as well as in the work that I'm doing with clients and students, is that what before took months or years to work through and heal is happening in like weeks. we are so supported in our healing and in our ascension right now. We just have to be able to tap in and tune into our bodies, work with our bodies, and connect to all the support

energetically and logistically that is available to us. So I hope this helps you with your crazy ascension journey and the ascension syndrome that you are probably experiencing right now. you are not alone. We're all in this together. You may not have even known what was happening to you. And hopefully now this shed some light on it, but check out the book because when you get the book, you not only get that and it's, you know, a couple of hundred pages, but all of great information that I compiled really, like I said, for myself, first and foremost, and now I'm sharing with you, but I also collected all of the interviews that I did with amazing thought leaders and teachers who are Ascension masters. I'm not a master. I am a student who likes to

heal, learn, and teach. And now I'm teaching you as well as myself. But I'm sharing the video with you. When you buy the book, you get the videos and you also get the guided meditations. I recorded all the meditations in the book so you can actually be guided through them by me. And I hope that you receive it with all the love with which it's intended and that you find it helpful. But let me know what you think of this video, of the book, of all of it, because I am here to support you always in learning to love and be loved better. I went to the doctor, said I'm crazy for your love. Wrote me a prescription, but there's no cure for crying.
