Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR)

The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense issued clinical practice guidelines that recommend EDMR for the treatment of PTSD. Perhaps, the rapid eye movement allows the patient less opportunity to consciously react to the distress that they are reviewing. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. Positive controlled outcome studies demonstrate that >80% of single-trauma victims no longer have post-traumatic stress after only three 90-minute sessions. Reportedly, Kaiser Permanente, found that 100% of the single-trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims no longer suffer with PTSD after only six 50-minute sessions. EMDR Institute, Inc. reported that 77% of combat veterans were free of PTSD in 12 sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) 20/20 Report

.
Francine Shapiro is the originator and developer of EMDR.

In 1987, she made the chance observation that moving her eyes from side to side appeared to reduce the disturbance of negative thoughts and memories. This experience led her to examine this phenomenon more systematically. Working with approximately 70 volunteers, she developed standardized procedures to maximize therapeutic outcomes, conducted additional research and a published randomized controlled study with trauma victims. After further research and elaboration of the methodology, she published a textbook in 1995 detailing the eight phases of this form of psychotherapy. EMDR is now recommended as an effective treatment for trauma in numerous international practice guidelines, including those of the American Psychiatric Association and the Department of Defense.

Dr. Shapiro is a Senior Research Fellow Emeritus at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, Executive Director of the EMDR Institute in Watsonville, CA, and founder and President Emeritus of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs, a non-profit organization that coordinates disaster response and low fee training worldwide. see also: https://www.emdr.com/

The REAL power of a human being… through meditation

 

A documentary that explores the practice of
meditation and it’s effect on the mind and body.

A montage featuring just a handful of people in the world with atypical abilities. The song is “Savior Desire” by Simon of Trideja.

Wim Hof’s cold endurance comes from his practice of “Tummo” meditation, and likewise all of these abilities can be learned by the human body and mind, although they are usually not the lone goal of such efforts. The “electric man” phenomena and Daniel Tammet’s direct (and mostly undistorted) link into a “numerical dimension” of sorts are abilities which are typically innate in those who display them. Very few people have developed such capacities as the result of training, as they demand the most careful and informed of efforts.

powerful techniques for a peaceful mind

Many experts say that meditation early in the morning, before starting your day is best. This method is going to place positive energy into your mind and once it’s a habit it is positive energy that will normally last throughout the entire day.

1. Upon waking or after basic bathroom duties, place positive thoughts into your mind. Keep it simple, especially at first. Here are some examples:

• • I am a peaceful and relaxed person and I choose to be.
  • A top priority today is to develop a positive outlook and a peaceful mind.
  • I plan to radiate peace outwards from my heart for every person that I come into contact with.

Begin with one and then another and the last meditation phrase. Add others, that is fine. The objective is simple enough. You want to make sure that in ten or fifteen minutes from when you get started that you feel relaxed and in touch with a lasting positive and peaceful inner feeling.

Consider a good book on positive meditations. Pick up a simple book like this one:

 I heard sound without sound.

2. Seek the experience of the stillness of mind and of being with a peaceful heart. If other thoughts emerge do not judge or focus on them, but do repeat:

• • I __your name__ seek peaceful relaxation. I am a peaceful soul… I am peaceful… I enjoy peaceful energy.
  • My mind is filling with peace… I can radiate peace into the world… I am a source of peace and happiness.
  • I feel gentle waves of peace flowing throughout my mind… I enjoy bringing peace and comfort into my day.

I felt my soul upon my reflection.

3. Feel stillness and silence envelope your mind. Imagine that you are now covered in a warm light as if from the sun. It is comforting and you may repeat:

• • I am the peaceful soul… I am a peaceful, loving soul.
  • My mind feels light and free of worry… I realize my nature is peace.
  • Peace of mind is my true nature.

A gentle kiss I placed upon the deep.

4. Peaceful thoughts flow through your mind just as a small branch’s single leaf kisses the still water. You feel the still waters gently move as you repeat:

• • I am a spirit of light and peace and I move gently on the peaceful waters of my mind. I feel gentle and peaceful.
  • I radiate peace and light to the world like a warm and gentle star… I radiate peace into the world as my mind fills with love and light.
  • The light and love envelopes me and the gentle waves of peaceful waters and the light shine from my mind into the world around me.

A gentle breeze my heart did make.

5. A gentle breeze is blowing and you feel the warmth of the sun and the stars now and as you begin to feel light and gentle you repeat:

• • I see on the screen of my mind a radiant light and this light feels gentle and soothing.
  • I am at peace with myself; this stillness of mind enables me to feel content and complete.
  • This is my wonderful journey of self discovery.

Peace of mind through meditation is a process. Radiant peace involves time and patience. Gentleness (as a reward) comes along in time with practice of peacefulness meditations. The outcome for you is that your energy increases as radiant peacefulness day by day increases in you. The benefit extends to others and comes back around to you again as others look upon what you radiate as attractive and appealing.

I certainly enjoy being attractive, empathetic and compassionate. It sometimes comes back around in just subtle ways. In certain circumstances, it calls me by voice of others to step forward. Humility too became genuine and attractive in me.

Let me know how this practice works out for you.

how do you Know Him?

how do you do it?

For me, it was a thought process. That’s why it failed. When I listened to my heart and when I directed my mind to bring my heart into my thoughts, the process was energized. We have the feelings that allow us to link up to the powerful God compassion that orders the universe by love. Prayerful thoughts and meditations without heart are words empty of Godly language.Beware though; thoughts may separate us from love. We must eliminate ego from our living and live only in the blessings from our loving God. What do you make from Gregg’s teaching? I FATHOM We are part of all that there is. If we’d seek in love to know a compassionate and empathetic self, the resultant changes may result in positive outlook and elevation of spirituality that will surpass our wildest dreams. Heart-felt prayer and meditation; peaceful serenity — I’ll examine all of this and how it seems essential for us to be maintaining spiritual progress for mental health. I hope you’ll keep coming back.

Thanks for visiting.
