Meditation And Healing Ptsd
Purpose
I like to include some meditations by Belleruth Naparstek in my classes. Her work is described in her book
Invisible Heroes: Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal and her meditation CD's are available from Amazon.com
She has material on anger and forgiveness, and healing from addictions, as well, but I have not used these. She also has affirmations on the CDs that I find healing, but have not used in class.
Materials
I use two of her meditations:
- Meditation for Protection and Support, and
- Meditation to Ease Grief
Procedure
- I talk a little bit about PTSD, and that we all have some issues of trauma in our lives that need healing. I talk about Belleruth's work with using meditation to calm that part of our brain affected by trauma.
- I play the meditation.
- I ask for comments.
