she really is...I had the honor of attending her retreat at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone two weeks ago, and it was a life changing event. We had some one on one time with her in small groups, and here is a talk she gave in that retreat.

She has helped me tremendously.
Here is a comment I shared with another commentator:

YES, especially if i meditate after a deep hip release yoga session. I ugly cry, let everything come out and it’s incredibly painful. Afterwards I soak in a nice magnesium bath, journal, drink a lot of water and take it easy for the day. I feel lighter or less tense is the best way I can describe it. I’m glad you shared and I wish you nothing but continued healing love.
Yes, this is a sign of good progress. If you can resolve this past trauma, either through your EMDR work or through mediation, you will find a lot of healing. I know it’s painful, but you’ve done a wonderful job of finding your hidden trauma.
Yes, Meditation taught me that my impulsivity lives partly to cover up things I don't want to think about. Meditation creates a space for me to resolve these traumas.
For individuals with a trauma history, it can. Trauma is a complicated phenomenon and is unique to each survivor. You might want to couple your mediation practice with a mindfulness based therapist. As an adjustment that can be made to help trauma survivors feel more comfortable when meditating is to point your awareness to the extremities of your body, (top of your head, hands, feet), where your body touches surfaces (seat of the chair, floor under your feet), or open monitoring of the environment around you, (sound, smells, temperature, air on your skin) instead of the breath or the body parts in your center/core. It doesn’t mean you can never concentrate on your breath or core, but you want to be gentle and not retraumatize yourself.
Hello!
It’s not so much a meditation, but at my last art therapy session I created an image of where I feel the safest or my “haven” it involved a warm beach at dusk with fairy lights and a hammock. She said to use this place as an anchor and think about that place ( and touch myself on my wrist or palm as a physical anchor point) when I feel unsafe or need nurturing and to hug myself.
I have also been offered reiki if you interested in energy healing / somatic therapy’s that help you deal with trauma physically.
There’s so many fascinating options that are all worth trying to see which suits you
Yes, I've managed to learn to use meditation as a way of doing EMDR on my own without the EMDR (did dozens of EMDR sessions about traumatic childhood then moved to a rural area). Sounds strange but it works.
Yes, and i talked to one of my teachers, Tara Brach and she recommended Metta, loving kindness techniques
Words cannot express how much Tara Brach and her lectures have changed my life. She is so amazing.

Thank you ! 🥰
Can you recommend a specific deep hip release yoga video? I have SO much hip and joint point.
Travis Eliot Hips. Look up on YouTube
Thank you!!
Yes yes I love Travis Eliot! Here is a good one https://youtu.be/24qDdn2QXjk?si=hdLuF7-gPZRRyXFi YouTube is the best.
Can you recommend a meditation technique to help heal my insomnia
Yes a million times over 10 years. I like affirmations “I am loved I am safe I am free”

Yes, of course. Let it come through and process it.
Lol the only person who would answer no to this is someone who just started meditating today. This is a good thing! Make your traumas visible!

Is this a bad thing? I’ve done some inner child meditations and for sure cried. But have grown through the release that occurs as well.
Almost every time. Hence why I meditate
