New to group - Needs help with PTSD

[Guest guest]

Hello, All. My name is Rose, I'm 60, I live in rural upstate New York. I was a

member of this group not too long ago.

 

I suffer from hypervigilence associated with a traumatic event - a fire, to be

specific. This happened about 20 years ago and only until recently had I

realized the effect it actually had on me. I also suffer from PTSD associated

with my childhood, but I do believe that eventually subsided until the fire when

it all came back to me.

 

I'm looking for a New Age healing modality that would help with the

hypervigilence. Hypervigilence may not sound like much but it interrupts my

life, it prevents me from moving forward and it keeps me in a state of fear and

expectation.

 

I'm thinking that since hypervigilence may be more associated with the " lizard

brain " or the limbic system, that perhaps something less intellectual and more

primitive and earth-related might help.

 

I'm thinking of shamanism or working with crystals, etc. If any one would care

to comment or to offer other modalities, I'd love to hear about them.

 

Thanks for your help.

Dear Rose,

 

My partner has PTSD and hypervigilence due to childhood trauma.

 

She has been on an amazing self-healing journey for about 10 years, 4

of which I have been privileged to witness.

 

Crystals have helped her learn to stay in her body, specifically

grounding stones like smoky quartz, black tourmaline and obsidian.

Reiki attunements have helped her understand her own energies.

Working with her guardian angels has helped her feel protected.

 

But as far as easing actual symptoms of PTSD, the method that has

seemed to help the most is EFT or tapping, the Emotional Freedom

Technique.

 

The manual to learn the technique is free and can be found at

www.emofree.com along with many helpful articles.

 

Love, Light, and Blessings,

 

Amy

First off are you familiar with the energy medicine work of Donna

Eden? She has a couple of books and cds out but from personal

experience I can tell you that her techniques for sedating triple warmer

along with the basic five minute drill are very effective for hyper

vigilance and other issues there is a lot you can do for yourself in

her books and if there is a certified practitioner near you That could

also be valuable for you.

Hi! I have been though abusive relationships and also have origins

in Shamanism. Crystals ....especially Tigers Eye, Amathest, Garnet,

and Lepidolite. Just remember that healing is a process, and it

takes some much longer to heal than others. No matter what healing

modality, the process is to confront it and letting go of the pain.

Have you ever tried deep breathing or rebirthing? That is very

transformative!!!! Please take care!

Hi Rose,

 

I think there are many possibilities open to you,, it just depends

on what appealls. Flower Essences gently help release negative

emotions and fears, replacing with positive. Other thoughts are

EFT, Hypnotherapy, reflexology, aromatherapy, crystals of course ;-

) etc, etc, etc....

Concerning hypervigilence, have you trried any type of dream therapy,or perhaps

creative visualization which would include some type of improvement or possible

cures. I am interested but ignorant of your condition. I have been able to

overcome severe headaches thru prep and creative dreams aimed at lessening of my

symptoms.
