I never thought it could work before I gave it a shot... I wish everybody would try it. In the beginning I just felt a bit more relaxed and was amazed that this feeling stayed with me the whole day. Now it is as important as being happy for me. I love meditation! I never thought it could work before I gave it a shot… I wish everybody would try it.

The trauma/relapse connection is very important. And we're learning so much about how the brain is affected by trauma. I'd add that a consistent self-help application such as EFT or guided meditation (especially if it teaches reprocessing, such as my Shimmering meditations, below) is very important part of relapse proofing one's lifestyle. Mindfulness is showing up more and more as a factor in research. Regards, - Bob | Free Mindfulness Meditation with Shimmer Sound | www.PsychInnovations.com/smpl_mindfulness.htm Robert A.
