I Healed by not Thinking or Reacting to thoughts or Emotions!!!!!!!!

I practiced focusing on my breath, training my mind to let go of fear and thoughts.  As Rick Hanson documents, “What fires together, wires together.”.  Our minds are plastic-like and can change drastically with training.

The breathing track helps us access our steady mind, easier.  Trace your breath with eyes open on the model for two minute intervals.  Find time during the day to practice four or five cycles to bring a deeper awareness to this moment.
-
Why not dedicate two weeks of energetic practice for yourself.  This mental action has a power that will astonish you.  C-PTSD will not heal without mental action.  That is a cold fact about trauma of a whole childhood.
-
Take up this challenge and heal some everyday.

Healing:__ What does it look like?

The steady mind focused on this moment, empty of thought, can accomplish more than we can imagine.   All of our abilities are relaxed and rested, waiting to be called upon. The mind works best when relaxed, tranquil but alert.

-
PTSD heals quicker,  empty of thought and focused on this present moment.  PTSD can not exist in this present moment.  The more we stay here and now, the less PTSD impacts us with anxious symptoms.
-
As John Wooden said, “Be quick but do not hurry“!  How does this happen?  Easily with awareness and focus on the breath.  Practice so we can apply our focus when scary thoughts and fear arrive.
-
We practice the breathing track to go towards our fear and triggers.  We apply our practice to the trigger thoughts and emotions.  Simple for all to improve a little every day.  Not easy but freedom awaits us on the other side.

PTSD narrows our Mind’s Possiblilities, Drastically!!!!!!!!!!

Rick Hanson:

“The number of possible combinations of 100 billion neurons firing or not is approximately 10 to the millionth power, or 1 followed by a million zeros, in principle; this is the number of possible states of your brain.”

*

PTSD narrows the possibilities sometimes to a single trigger thought.  We are rigid, consumed by one or two prevalent unworthy self-image thoughts which we ruminate over and over.

*

The mind offers up one with a million zeroes behind it.  Why settle for a few terrifying ones instead.

*

We do have a choice with each thought that appears before us.  Why settle for a couple of opportunities when millions are available.  It takes mental action to heal, choose wisely.
