The nature of growth within our psychosomatic system

I suggest changing our perspective on Zero Point—from focusing on its nature to considering the nature of growth within our psychosomatic system*, which we accelerate with Zero Point (and the anti-recon tech), getting incredible results.

Although that shift may seem insignificant, its implications are anything but. We’re no longer talking about how Zero Point itself works, but about how our system operates when ZP enables accelerated growth—both within its bounds and beyond—and how ZP (or/and the anti-recon tech) could make the process even more mind-blowing.

I’ve been observing the nature of accelerated growth on Zero Point within our psychosomatic system for years, but it was only after I added the newest GLM that I noticed those patterns becoming more pronounced. Adding Earth opened my eyes even further to its somatic aspect, as I had previously been focused mainly on its psychic aspect.

I’m not going to describe in detail all of the experiences and insights that led me to the conclusion I’ll present in this article, as doing so would take too much time and wouldn’t be fully accurate (since our memory is fallible).

Most importantly, I don’t consider it necessary, as it strongly corresponds with the theory of pendulation (the trauma recovery process) and with the general course of my own trauma recovery and development on Zero Point. Especially with my recent incredible rapid recovery, which lasted only two weeks (although I’m still experiencing something that feels like my nervous system regeneration), although I feel the need to deepen its effects since I’ve suffered from my traumas for far too many years.

Pendulation is not only the natural trauma recovery process but also the primary law of our growth as a psychosomatic system. The term was coined by Peter A. Levine, who explains it very clearly in the video below. Where he uses the terms “body” and “container,” I would use “our psychosomatic system,” as it is a single interconnected system in which the psychic “permeates” the somatic, so to speak. However, this is not a vital distinction, since the focus is not on the structure of the system but on its functionality.

Basically, things get worse before they get better. However, when our psychosomatic system experiences a contraction, it doesn’t return to the previous point (unless retraumatized)—instead, it reaches a point slightly beyond it. Then it expands again, slightly beyond the previous expansion point, and so on.

This is how I’ve grown on ZP. Usually, the contraction is accompanied by recon (in my case, it used to be what I called low-level recon), but with the new anti-recon—certainly in Earth, GLM, and WANTED—it seems to be neutralized or at least greatly minimized, which greatly aids pendulation. Recon would just temporarily compromise pendulation, shutting down the relevant parts of my system for a while.

I see how Earth, paired with the new anti-recon tech, is the best subliminal for promoting pendulation, as it strengthens the “container” (our psychosomatic system) in its entirety.

Before writing all of that, I contacted a user (@RagnarLothbrok), since I could clearly see pendulation in his growth, as he shared some of his experiences not only on the forums but also privately.

However, this time I asked him about the whole process (his pendulation) explicitly to elicit his thoughts on all of that. Thanks to that, my conclusion is based not only on observing my own pendulation and my own insights, and reading his entries but also on his thoughts about the wholep process. That only confirmed that my experience is not unique but is experienced by at least one more human being which didn’t come as surprise since pendulation is a well know phenomenon now.

The core of my growth and RagnarLothbrok’s growth aligns with pendulation. In other words, the nature of accelerated growth on Zero Point within our psychosomatic system is pendulation at its core. Therefore, I believe that mimicking, through Zero Point tech (perhaps implemented in the anti-recon tech), the measures that support pendulation in therapy would accelerate our growth.


I’m sharing our private correspondence here as he agreed to it (thanks, mate!). I put in [my comment] my comments.

Me: Does what he say [Peter A. Levine in the video I shared here] resonate with your growth? It does with mine and a lot.

Him: So basically things get worse before they get better? Because if that is the case then yes, I do feel like this with subliminals.

Not all of the times tho, Earth doesn’t cause any recon only results [no wonder, the best sub for strenghtening the “container”—our psychosomatic system], Wanted can sometimes give me social anxiety but when it passes I get much more confident and social.

Me: Yes, but when things get worse, you don’t return to the previous point of contraction—you reach a point slightly beyond it. Then you expand again, slightly beyond the previous expansion point, and so on. This is how I’ve grown on ZP. Usually, the contraction is accompanied by recon, but on the new anti-recon it seems to be minimized, which helps with pendulation a lot.

Recon just temporarily compromises pendulation, shuting down your system for a while.

Does it make sense to you?

[All the mesage below points directly to pendulation]

Him: Oh yes, that’s definitely how it works for me.

For example on Wanted, I said to you that I don’t desire any relationship with any female, later that day it has passed and I did wanted a relationship but nothing too serious.

After another loop it happened again, I again thought to myself that I don’t want any kind of relationship, but this time it was weaker, when it passed I wanted a relationship more than the last time.

Also again with the social anxiety, I got social anxiety and when it passed I was more confident, when I again got recon I again got social anxiety but it was much weaker and the confidence I got after the recon passed was greater than before.
[all of the experiences in this message are classical signs of pendulation—contraction and expansion]

Me: Do you feel Earth or GLM helping you with this process?

Oh, you said Earth is. I’m not surprised at all as it’s about strengthening what the guy in the video calls “container” (for pendulation, that is body).

I see the same on Earth.

Him: I’m not running GLM, Earth does help the process.

It grounds me in my physical body which automatically lowers anxiety or any physical symptoms of recon. [again, strenghtening the “container” massively]

Mental and emotional recon have less physical effects, meaning I won’t shake if I have anxiety and I won’t be stiff if I’m over thinking. [signs of a lover-level contraction]

I may be anxious af inside but on the outside I will look calm as a tree. [signs of a higher-level expansion and a lover-level contraction]

Me: This [mental and emotional recon] is what GLM addresses. Perhaps pairing it with Earth would neutralize recon. Recon (shuting down in our traumas) is the only real obstacle for pendulation, which is the nature of our growth on ZP as a psychosomatic system which directly translates into our subliminal results.

Him: The relaxation of Wanted also helps greatly in reducing recon and executing the script.[that deep relaxation strenghtens the “container”]

Me: Does it solve the mental and emotional recon for you?

Him: The emotional and mental recon is getting solved by it’s own or by contemplation, usually it just passes.

What was bothering me before Earth [once again, Earth at work—strengthening the “container”] was the physical symptoms of recon, stiffness, shakiness, uncertain movement, shakiness in my voice, swallowing words. [signs of contraction]

Now it doesn’t happen, I keep my recon to my self, the body always exude confidence and calm, like all is good. [signs of a higher-level expansion]

Some people can still see on my face if I’m going through something or if I’m upset, some people can read me, but it’s ok because it shows they care. [These are signs of lower-level contraction, as the expansion is occurring to the higher levels now]

Me: How about sensations like those I’ve just described in my journal?
https://www.subliminalresults.com/t/ripping-through-the-netherrealm/25252/113

Any neurological/electrical sensations of that sort before or now?

Him: I don’t remember any electrical sensation, but I did experience today a little pinch under my armpit which made me feel weird, I do believe it was a nerve since it also changed my heart beat rhythm for a small bit. [a tiny sign of contraction]

I do believe in your theory of nervous system regeneration.
I’m also sure that Earth effects every single aspect of the body, Including nerves.

Me: Yes, it affects the whole psychosomatic system (what that guy in the video calls the “container,” although he refers to it as the body alone).

Weird stuff — after reading about your pinch, I got one in my brain. I jumped when it happened, lol. I’m experiencing those electrical sensations right now. The strange thing is, it’s the third day, and it’s occurring at the same time (1–4 p.m.).

Him: Seems like after the pinch I got way less anxiety [pendulation at work]

Me: Same here, mate.

Pendulation not reconciliation is the future. [Well, this is going to be, I believe, the most controversial part of my conclusion.]

Perhaps it would be about “mimicking” or supporting the most typical signs of expansion (trauma healing) by ZP (or anti-recon), as follows:

In trauma therapy, signs of expansion indicate a shift toward a state of safety, relaxation, and an increased capacity to engage with challenging emotions or memories in a more regulated manner. These signs reflect a movement away from contraction and towards a more open, adaptive response to healing.

Here are some common signs of expansion in trauma therapy:

  1. Relaxed Musculature: Muscles become less tense and more relaxed. This can include a softening of facial muscles, shoulders, and other areas where tension was previously held.
  2. Deeper Breathing: Breathing becomes deeper, slower, and more rhythmic. This indicates a shift towards parasympathetic nervous system activation, promoting a sense of calm.
  3. Grounded Presence: Individuals may feel more connected to the present moment and their surroundings. They exhibit a sense of being anchored and less disconnected from reality.
  4. Increased Body Awareness: There is a heightened awareness of bodily sensations, but these sensations are experienced as manageable and integrated rather than overwhelming or dissociated.
  5. Curiosity and Openness: There is a willingness to explore and engage with challenging emotions, memories, or sensations without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.
  6. Flexibility in Thinking: Cognitive processes become more flexible and adaptive. There is an ability to consider different perspectives or interpretations of past experiences.
  7. Sense of Safety and Trust: There is an increased sense of safety, both internally (within oneself) and externally (in the therapeutic environment and relationships).
  8. Exploration of Resources: Individuals may actively seek out and utilize internal and external resources (such as strengths, coping skills, supportive relationships) to navigate challenging experiences.
  9. Integration and Growth: There is a sense of personal growth and integration of traumatic experiences into one’s narrative. This includes a clearer understanding of how past experiences have shaped the present, and a hopeful outlook towards the future.

Recognizing signs of expansion is crucial in trauma therapy as they indicate progress toward healing and resilience.

Trauma healing is largely your nervous system healing.

Guess they listened this feedback as well:

Edit: TRE seems to have largely improved my results, introspective abilities, processing abilities, etc. And that is just subliminal related things, aside from that it’s incredibly beneficial on its own

I’m familiar with TRE, yet I chose “pendulation” instead because it more accurately reflects the expression of growth I’m experiencing profoundly right now on Earth (H:TLTB), whereas in the past I would experience it as what we know as reconciliation.

Pendulation represents our system’s adaptation through its intrinsic resilience. It gradually overrides maladaptive data—outdated strucutres and functions stored within our psychosomatic system—that interfere with the system’s most fundamental law: its natural drive to grow. However, it also carries immense healing potential. I’m experiencing it now on Earth, and so is @RagnarLothbrok.

On the other hand, TRE doesn’t work with our drive to grow, but with our innate neurogenic tremor mechanism, which is closely linked to the survival instinct. This mechanism functions to discharge excess survival energy accumulated during trauma, protecting the psychosomatic system from being compromised.

However, in cases of severe trauma, this mechanism can become dysregulated or suppressed, causing survival/stress energy to remain locked in the muscles and nervous system for extended periods—or even permanently—thereby preventing natural recovery.

Once the body no longer needs to maintain a heightened level of survival or stress energy, the innate neurogenic tremor mechanism can become maladaptive data—storing tension unnecessarily. Unlike our intrinsic drive to grow, this mechanism is primarily linked to survival, not development or self-actualization.

I believe that healing titles could be based on TRE, Earth, Paragon, and QL1, since it’s all about undoing psychosomatic knots in our system and rebuilding neural pathways in the nervous system. I’m planning to study TRE more in depth to see what insights I can uncover.

I’ve talked to a few people over the years about trauma. Relaxation, body awareness, trust, and emotions can all be triggers for further defense mechanisms. I’ve also seen someone say somatic therapy can help the body move towards more calm, but if the triggers and associations aren’t dealt with then they’ll revert to the same body armoring.

I believe it’s important for the body to find its own path to healing and it’s based in really loose principles that each mind has to interpret. So incorporating this into ZP or anti-recon would be a step backwards in terms of that flexibility imo.

This sounds like an excuse to remain in a contracted state of being and spending time mentally analyzing ‘triggers’ for eternity instead of facing what needs to be faced, feel what needs to be felt and released for ever.

Most somatic issues are from the past, the triggers are long gone because the individual has grown, but the somatic imprint that needs to be released is what keeps triggers alive and what needs to be dealt with.

I’m not talking about treating trauma with ZP or anti-recon, mate. However, I’m going to go deeper into TRE to see what else I can find, as I know the whole system finds its way to healing — I’m a living example of that.

I’m talking about pendulation as the main mechanism of our psychosomatic growth (not only as trauma healing process), which is also the axis of our growth on ZP. Serious trauma should be treated according to its severity and the patient’s state etc., just like you said. On the other hand, I dealt with my trauma on ZP, believe it or not.

Healing the whole system is about providing it with relevant data that helps it heal on its own. Any kind of healing works this way, I believe.

Moreover, I emphasized that strengthening the “container” (the whole psychosomatic system) helps with pendulation, and I’m experiencing for myself how it aids my own trauma healing process — I’ve almost eliminated the somatic trauma response I’ve suffered from for as long as I can remember.

I believe that having ZP or anti-recon mimic or foster the natural pendulation process in our system will greatly boost our growth, and this will translate into far better external results. This is mainly achieved by supporting “the container” (our psychosomatic system) as it swings between contraction and expansion, which form the essence of pendulation. Earth (and Water, from what I’ve read on the forums and the sales page) is the best tool to aid us in this process.


It may be but I wouldn’t try to diagnose anyone (I learnt my lesson). There are lots of people here who need healing titles. However, although those titles (especially the DR one-year run) helped me deal with the emotional and psychological aspects of my trauma, they did little to nothing for the somatic aspect. GLM and Earth did wonders for me in that regard in just two weeks.

Yeah it was a sloppy post I reframed it.

I agree that more ‘somatic’ based scripting is really good, anything involving the body in some way, as we’ve seen the amazing results from GLM, Wanted and Hero Earth.

Here, @RagnarLothbrok is experiencing another contraction related to the theme I presented in my first post.

Him: The sadness I feel about my ex is immense, I feel like shit, I feel like I won’t ever have any relationship with a female, I feel a strong desire/need for a female and I have a feeling that I will never have one.

Me: This is classic contraction, mate.

These are sings of contraction:

  1. Increased Muscle Tension: Tightness in muscles, especially in the jaw, shoulders, neck, and back, often accompanies contraction. This tension can contribute to a sense of rigidity or being “stuck.”
  2. Shallow Breathing: Breathing may become rapid, shallow, or irregular during moments of contraction. This physiological response is linked to the body’s stress reaction.
  3. Hypervigilance: Heightened alertness and sensitivity to potential threats or triggers are common in trauma-related contraction. This can lead to a state of hyperarousal where individuals are constantly scanning their environment for danger.
  4. Emotional Intensity: Intense emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, or shame may surface during contraction. These emotions may feel overwhelming and difficult to manage.
  5. Difficulty in Thinking or Concentrating: Cognitive processes may become impaired during contraction, leading to difficulty in focusing, making decisions, or processing information.
  6. Feeling Overwhelmed or Flooded: Sensory overload or feeling flooded with emotions or sensations is another sign of contraction. This can lead to an inability to cope or manage the intensity of internal experiences.
  7. Avoidance Behaviors: Individuals may engage in behaviors or thoughts aimed at avoiding triggers or situations that evoke trauma-related memories or sensations. Avoidance is a common coping mechanism during contraction.
  8. Physical Discomfort or Pain: Contraction can manifest as physical discomfort or pain in the body, such as headaches, stomachaches, or general discomfort without a clear medical cause.
  9. Feeling Stuck or Frozen: A sense of being immobilized or unable to move forward emotionally or mentally is indicative of contraction. This feeling of being “stuck” is a hallmark of trauma-related responses.
  10. Heightened Startle Response: An exaggerated startle response, where individuals react intensely to sudden stimuli or noises, is another sign of increased arousal and contraction in trauma therapy.
    Does any point resonate with you?

It’s important to acknowledge contraction and gradually work toward expansion.

In my case, it’s simply about acknowledging it in real time (as it’s a somatic trauma response mentioned in point 10 I’ve greatly minimized but not yet fully eliminated), breathing in deeply, and then slowly breathing out while releasing the tension in my neck, shoulders, back, and chest.

Him: Some points yes, I used to get everything during recon I remember, now it’s much better compered to how I was back then.

Water is also a good choice yes, Wanted does have emotional scripting so over time it should also help, I think.

@Fractal_Explorer as you can see, even though pendulation is used in the context of healing trauma, it’s a natural process occurring in our system.

Now, thanks to Earth, what was once called recon can now be called pendulation, since after contraction (previously called recon), expansion occurs upon acknowledging the contraction and making even a slight effort to overcome it.

I described above (in my reply to him) how this works in my case when I referred to point 10 on the list of signs.

FWIW, I didn’t think it was sloppy myself, having seen the post.

To your first paragrap[h here:

I was in assent when I read this, and thinking of the difference between the mind, the somatic response (ie the body), and the other levels including soul.

My own take elsewhere, which I’m clarifying in this post, is that the “Zero Point” for which the tech is named is the OG manifestation of the soul, aka what yoga would call “purusha”, In response to this, working with the script, the goal is to move away from the purely mental analysis that goes on due to situations and progress into emotional energy to be expressed or released, or taking action to align with the script.

The somatic response is only part of the equation. It and its “triggers” can be gone beyond.

No not an excuse. Just being mindful of not putting all the solution in somatic experiencing. When something isn’t working it’s good to have flexibility.

I like somatics but it’s just another modality in a long list of modalities. Sometimes it works for the individual and sometimes it doesn’t. Nobody has a definitive answer to stuff like this. Ideally I’d like to see a future where people can get help and feel better without being put through adverse scenarios under the assumption it always gets worse before it gets better.

I agree with everything you just said now.

I was not agreeing with the fact that working and releasing the somatic blocks can create further blocks if the original trigger is not dealt with.

The somatic blocks contains the trigger/cause within itself so releasing the physical block brings resolution on all levels, mental/emotional, because emotional and mental blocks are an extension of the body’s blocks, it’s all one system.

And because of that there’s obviously a variety of ways to go about dealing with issues and to each their own choice of course.

This made me think of this small river I just spent an hour clearing out branches and leaves from to make a wall to have a pool to get in. Sometimes when clearing a block the water starts flowing better at that spot but it has ramifications down the line because the flow gets more intense and it ends up coming really strong on another block or start diverging and overflow in a different direction.

So it never has to get worse to get better but sometimes it just has to, and it’s all very specific to the individual and their unique pathway.

It is a system but maybe this is where I diverge in my understanding or experience of it. I see it as a bidirectional system. Where both body and mind have equal effect in how they can facilitate changes. That means if the mind deems releasing a block unsafe, it won’t happen, and if it does happen there can be backlash because there wasn’t consent to do so.

I see what you mean now, but isn’t the point of using subs to bypass the safety mechanisms that our mind has built?

I feel like if something really isn’t safe for us and we know it for sure then even if subconsciously we are suggested to do so our conscious mind would still not engage.

But again I haven’t fully understood precisely what @Sub.Zero is suggesting regarding somatic scripting.

I just know that whatever they did in the latest updates it’s feeling really good in the body and is accelerating integration of the sub.

Mmmm to me that would go against free will scripting in zp. Maybe in other subs created by developers that’s the goal, but you can see how much turbulence that kicks up. I think that’s what makes these subs work so well, there’s no bypassing or trickery to get an outcome. It’s consent and a whole system focus on growth.
