This is a very healing action!

“Meditation is a matter not of theory but of practice, just as it does not satisfy your hunger to read a restaurant menu if you are not going to eat something from it.“

My two cents: Meditation is not an intellectual property, reading a book or taking a class helps little.
Our healing will happen internally by our own action.
This action for me was meditating and integrating.
If this does not work for you, then find an action.
As one therapist told me, if you have to limp, get out on the dance floor.
The conditions for those of us with ptsd are never going to be perfect.
Each trigger, I forced myself to stay present for one breath before I avoided, denied or froze. In time that one breath grew to two, then five and eventually ten.
By that time panic had calmed and I guess I ate the elephant a bite at a time. Small actions work.
I could of labeled those stepping stones failures instead they were valued as successes.
We need Little Successes and that happens with daily activity and direction.
