8 Important Tools for Healing Trauma [thriveglobal.com]
Learning to understand your body and your inner emotional is the most valuable education you can receive. Healing is not about erasing what happened in the past, it is about finding the places the hurt got stuck, and loving that part of yourself so much it becomes free. I share with you today from what has worked for me personally in healing my own childhood trauma. Experiencing overwhelming events most often will later manifest at some point as ‘disease’, as we are often unable to cope in...

Morning Meditation
As I continued practicing it, however, I found comfort in releasing the sound into the universe. There were times I would walk around the rest of the day feeling a beautiful energy, a tingly sensation, radiating from my forehead.
Comment
Re: Morning Meditation
I haven't yet tried the whole meditation, but I tried a few minutes of it and wow! You are not kidding about the tingly sensation in the forehead! It's quite lasting, and the way I imagine it might feel to be a rung bell, every cell vibrating. The sensation moves concentrically from the head through the torso to the limbs. I'm intrigued -- thanks, Teri!
Comment
Re: Morning Meditation
While the sensation was a bit unnerving at first (my hyper-arousal at work!), I kept at it and eventually found myself enjoying the tingly reminder of sending my positive thoughts and energy out into the universe. There was a comfort in that. Peace, Teri

Re: Effective way to do Meditation
Amardeep, thank you for sharing these links here. The Re-Reality site looks to be chockfull of helpful articles. And you're right -- there are many people on ACEs Connection who are very knowledgable on topics such as meditation, and many here who wish to learn more about it.
Comment
Re: Benefits of Meditation
Thanks for another informative article about meditation, Amardeep. There's plenty of motivation there to keep a dedicated meditator returning to her cushion every day and plenty to encourage non-meditators to give it a go. The reasons to meditate sure seem to outweigh reasons not to do it.

Re: 3 Minute Meditation for ACEs to Calm Power at the Beach
Thanks for sharing the meditation, Dr. Alman. It reminds me of a poster in my seventh grade teacher's classroom (many years ago) that said, "What you think about, you are becoming."

Re: Mindfulness Stress Reduction Techniques for Healing
Love this!!!! Great reminders, Jen. I stopped watching negative news years ago. And being on my summer Facebook hiatus with all its political negativity has been wonderful for my peace of mind. Thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to share it on the podcast social media pages, too. Peace, Teri
Comment
Re: Mindfulness Stress Reduction Techniques for Healing
Such helpful suggestions. I enjoy knowing there's scientific evidence to back up the techniques too (although I've nothing against anecdotal support). I tried the 3-Part breath and was surprised at how different it felt from the usual slow and steady inhalation. Must be something about the mindful focus on where in the lungs the breath is during the breathing process, I'm guessing. Thanks so much, Jen, for sharing this here.
Comment
Re: Mindfulness Stress Reduction Techniques for Healing
And I just realized, Jen, that recently I listened to Teri Wellbrock's interview with you on her Healing Place podcast. I very much enjoyed your conversation! Also: when I went to check out the Meditation for Healing Sleep on your site, I found the link in your post was erroring, so I took the liberty of correcting it. Hope you don't mind!

Re: Calming Your Anxious Mind Through Rhythmic Movement
Joanna, such great solutions to the problem of wanting to meditate but being emotionally uncomfortable or triggered by trying to sit too long. It's possible to have the best of both worlds -- the benefits of mindfulness meditation AND mindful movement in one. Thank you for sharing your own experience and good ideas with so many of us who can use an alternative to traditional seated meditation. This may encourage some who were hesitant to meditate because of the potential for anxiety to go...

The Powerful Practice of Meditation
When one thinks of meditation some will think of someone sitting cross-legged on the floor, with fingers in a funny position, repeating a simple word or sound such as “ooommm”. However, meditation is much deeper and richer a practice than just the one practice encompassing many forms.

Re: Meditation Techniques for Managing Emotions
There are many different types of Meditation, a person may have to try 2 or 3 different types to get a sense of what they are comfortable with. One important thing to remember is a person does not have to buy clothing, magazines, trips or books to meditate. Meditation is sitting with yourself and then watching what thoughts arise and how often certain thoughts continually show up in your mind. We do not try to banish or stop thinking, we recognize our thoughts and then just let them move on.

Meditation Techniques for Managing Emotions
Are you emotional about a certain situation? Or feeling "too much,"? Well, you are not alone in this, and it is not entirely a bad thing to feel this way. However, our emotions shape the way we perceive certain events and might even cloud our judgment regarding people and incidents. At the same time, it is also important to understand that emotions are part of life, and they complete us. It is part of human nature to feel certain things, and one cannot simply escape this reality. What we can...
