PTSD – A Way Out A mindful way to heal

Awareness thrives when the mind is focused and going slow.

Time impacts our awareness. Look how we act when we find ourself late for an important meeting. Being late accelerates our speed, we almost reach panic stage, unaware of everything but being late.

The mind races when we lose focus. Our bodies can go supersonic, however the mind works best going slow, being focused, empty of the noise.

While meditating, we intentionally slow the breath, which slows the nervous system, which helps us focus, letting the mind empty itself.

Using your breath, slow your heartbeat.

Then slow it some more.

Lengthen your breaths, extend the exhales, try to stop your heart, gently.
