As Hanh teaches, however, it’s not the words that matter but our commitment to, and intention behind the practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with that being said, I’ve broken it down to seven simple steps for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Whenever you become aware of negative thoughts and emotions arising, rather than ignoring them, or setting them aside for later, identify, acknowledge, and honour them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Become very clear on what the specific upset is by identifying the exact thoughts that are bothering you. Are they self-judging, bad memories, or anxiety about future events? Any thought that causes dis-ease in you, regardless of past, present or future is applicable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Next, indentify the specific emotions that arise in you as a result of said thoughts. What do they feel like? Is there tightening in your chest? Is your stomach turning or is there a throbbing sensation in your head? Again, any emotion that causes dis-ease is applicable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Once you’ve clearly identified the thought(s) and emotion(s), close your eyes and explore the imagery they subsequently create in your mind (once you’re familiar with the practice, you won’t always need to close your eyes—i.e., if you’re driving, or in public you can still do this.) Do the thoughts and emotions create colors, shapes, figures? Are they abstract or clear? The important thing is to let your thoughts and emotions create the imagery while you simply become aware of what they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Breathe. We’re at the half way mark and I’d like to offer you a sincere congratulations on completing the first half! Our natural tendency is to suppress these uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, often telling ourselves that we’ll deal with them later—but honestly, does later ever come? Unfortunately for most of us, it never does. So even just by taking the time to become conscious of, and identify these unpleasant thoughts and emotions is a huge step! Let’s not stop there however, because here’s where the really good stuff starts to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. This step is where everything begins to change! Once you have the mental images of what your thoughts and emotions look like (and even if there’s no image at all, this practice still works), picture yourself holding the image (or lack thereof) in the same way a mother holds a newborn baby. Picture the image of your painful thought and emotion wrapped in a warm blanket, being held with very loving care closely to your heart, your chest, as you extend it very sincere compassion from your heart center. (You can also use the imagery of wrapping the thought/emotion in a warm blanket and placing it in a baby carriage, and rocking the carriage back and forth.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Next, mentally (or verbally) say to the image that you know it’s there and you promise to care for and hold it with compassion until it’s ready to go. Do your best to say these words from a very sincere place in your heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through bringing our attention to the image of our painful thoughts and emotions, and tending to it with an open heart, we’re doing the most natural thing we can—expressing love. Instead of ostracizing our uncomfortable thoughts and emotions and their unpleasant effects, we show them pure, complete and inclusive love. It’s a love they’ve never known before, and a love many of us have never known before either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thoughts and emotions will often subside very quickly. Sometimes, however, they aren’t ready to go so fast, and that’s fine. When we initially told them we’d be with them as long as they needed us, we were sincere in that intention. So if/when the thoughts and emotions call us on it, we honor our words and hold them dearly in our heart for as long as it takes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that’s the practice. It truly is that simple and I’m forever grateful to Thich Nhat Hanh for the amazing results I’ve had with it in my life. This practice can be used on everyday minor things all the way to heavier memories of our most difficult life experiences. It’s all relevant, it’s all grist for the mill and it can all be healed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please comment below if you try this practice over the coming days. Even if you don’t have success (which I highly doubt), I’d love to hear about your experience with it. Also, if there are other techniques and practices you’ve found to be beneficially healing in your life, please share them as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s all Love, it’s all One, so let it shine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;zemanta-related&quot;

In the same way that playing a musical instrument with both hands effects the brain, using the arms, legs and torso in particular patterns &quot;switches on&quot; parts of the brain. Breathing practices, meditation, chanting and physical movements which harmonise the energetic system of the body balance the mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The most appropriate energy practice for a traumatised individual is the practice which embodies his or her intuitive profile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The healing that serves as the best match for a particular individual starts in alignment with the energetic pattern presented under stress, but eventually restores the individual to bilateral brain function and full sensory awareness in a skilful way that does not overload the system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;In psychotherapy, this is known as &quot;pace, pace, lead.” Eventually, the verbal right-brained student should practice gaze points to incorporate the eyes and balance flow and timelessness with routine and structure, but initially this expectation would trigger lateral learning and the fight-or-flight response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, the student will seek to be embodied in vision, hearing, hands and feet, but the learning curve must honour the body&#39;s capacity to adapt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Healing from trauma often involves a deep immersion into the affect and emotion of the right brain. The overcharged driven student who wants to place high demands on the body sometimes uses adrenaline and endorphins to mask many emotions that would be too painful to embody.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to heal he or she will eventually shift to whole brain consciousness.  this shift occurs, the individual &quot;can process information simultaneously, move and think at the same time, read with the writer&#39;s hand, speak with the listener&#39;s ear, and thrive on new, spontaneous, and creative self expression.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our bodies are designed to embody our sensory input, emotions and intellect. Human potential can become buried under layers of psychic numbing. In order to heal from abuse, especially in the form of repressed memories, survivors need to be able to re-access the energetic experience of trauma and integrate it at a different level. With brain integration tools and energy practices which release, discharge or neutralise volatility and intensity, the survivor can have a sense of control over their experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The capacity to regulate mood, state of mind and energy level is critical in order to plumb the depths of sorrow, unrelenting grief, anger, anxiety and fear that present in the healing journey. When the repressed energy of trauma is released, the person can then begin to live their life in accordance with their new recovery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;zemanta-related&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;

The Ten Stages is a simple study course.&lt;br /&gt;The course of the Stages we attempt to awaken to our original recovery nature which involves interrupting the ordinary flow of linear, language-based, thinking so that we can rediscover &quot;the mind within the mind&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Focusing on external circumstances or teachings is not what triggers the moment of recovery, in other words. Rather, it is focusing on the absence of internal commentary. Because it is impossible to &quot;think&quot; without words, this practice of stopping the flow of running commentary on our lives involves cultivating a mindset of no-thought in an attempt to experience each moment as it is without silently talking to ourselves about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attempting to gain the mind without the internal voice means starting to deal with the origins of the voice and the trauma it still holds and regurgitates at any pressure to reveal its inner secrets.In the ten stages a dialogue is instituted with the inner voice through the experience of others, and it works, how it works finally it has the potential for us to gain complete freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- See more at: http://recoveryinspirations.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/spirituality-is-innermost-relationship.html#sthash.HkGOm5X0.dpuf&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://recoveryinspirations.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-stages-seeks-solution-that-moves-us.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0p0jvPY96XI/VbX52fxa6nI/AAAAAAAATKE/CCywJWNf7GI/s72-c/110888-108744.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237954284050992898.post-1844672189038547819</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-06-03T12:30:46.125+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">You cannot go back.</category><title>You cannot go back.</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;trebuchet ms&#39;, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;You cannot go back.&lt;br /&gt;What&#39;s gone is gone.

The pathway in the brain that the drugs take is first to the ventral tegmentum to the nucleus accumbens, and the drugs also go to the limbic system and the orbitofrontal cortex, which is called the mesolimbic reward system. The activation of this reward system seems to be the common element in what hooks drug users on drugs&amp;nbsp;(2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drugs seem to cause surges in dopamine neurotransmitters and other pleasure brain messengers. However, the brain quickly adapts and these circuits desensitize, which allows for withdrawal symptoms to occur&amp;nbsp;(3). Drug addiction works on some of the same neurobiological mechanisms that aid in learning and memories&amp;nbsp;(3). &quot;This new view of dopamine as an aid to learning rather than a pleasure mediator may help explain why many addictive drugs, which unleash massive surges of the neurotransmitter in the brain, can drive continued use without producing pleasure-as when cocaine addicts continue to take hits long after the euphoric effects of the drug have worn off or when smokers smoke after cigarettes become distasteful.&quot;&amp;nbsp;(4)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since memory and pleasure zones are intertwined in the brain, many researchers have been using psychological approaches to stop drug use. Many rehabilitation centers have used classical conditioning to rehabilitate drug addicts. They combine exposure to drugs combined with cognitive scripts, like statements how drugs have destroyed a person&#39;s life or what can be accomplished without using drugs, according to DeLetis&amp;nbsp;(5). By using classical conditioning, the drugs addicts pair the drugs with negative connotations and properties. &quot;Adverse withdrawal symptoms can function as an instrumental negative reinforcer and can be linked to the opponent process theory of motivation.&quot;&amp;nbsp;(6)&amp;nbsp;However, drug addicts may relapse and start using again because of many environmental &quot;cues&quot;, which are external forces that are associated with drug use in their lives. When the drugs addicts see these cues, their brain circuitry, especially the orbitofrontal cortex become hyperactive and causes these people to start craving drugs again&amp;nbsp;(2). No matter how successful the rehabilitation treatment is, once those &quot;cues&quot; are around, the drug addicts remember how pleasurable the drugs felt and relapse into drug abuse again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through all of the research done about drug addiction and its affects on the brain, one can see how drug addiction is considered a brain disease. Drug addiction is a disabling disease and can ruin a person&#39;s life. By taking drugs, a person&#39;s brain becomes &quot;rewired&quot; to tolerate high amounts of dopamine neurotransmitters, but once those high amounts of dopamine cease to exist, the person experiences withdrawal symptoms. However, there are ways drug addicts can control their drug intake by using classical conditioning techniques, which allows them to associate drugs with negative attributes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://recoveryinspirations.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-addicted-brain-is-distinctly.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237954284050992898.post-8175092824621089446</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-03-27T22:42:19.734+00:00</atom:updated><title>Bill Wilson is on record for having found a solution in 1960 for treating anxiety and depression using vitamin B-3 therapy and worked tirelessly for eleven years begging for its inclusion into A.A. recovery circles. </title><description>&lt;h4&gt;The Serotonin Support Group (SSG)&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Is a mutual support group for people who suffer from low Serotonin levels, &amp;nbsp;wishing to participate in a support group that uses as one method a vitamin supplement as a method of replacement or addition to a diet to help the sufferer.The historical basis of this form of nutritional treatment was discovered and researched by Bill Wilson of Alcoholics Anonymous and it is to promote this Legacy to persons who suffer from low serotonin uptake and depression that the Group was formed.Bill Wilson wished to add a step to the 12 he had produced for AA.

The diurnal rhythm of 5-HT in subjects who the day before had drunk alcohol was quite different from the control group, but very similar to that of patients with depression.

The medicines that raise the level of serotonin in the brain do so by slowing the reabsorbtion of serotonin. The alcohol increases the availible serotonin for a bit and then it drops off quickly, leaving the depressed person feeling worse, and they tend to not take the medicine correctly when they feel badly or are drunk. High serotonin levels do not mean somebody will feel happy or good, It makes it more likely that they won&#39;t feel realy bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://recoveryinspirations.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-important-thing-with-serotonin-is.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237954284050992898.post-1451311069380904872</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-03-03T11:57:56.209+00:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">THE FOURTH DIMENSION Chapter Eight</category><title>THE FOURTH DIMENSION CHAPTER EIGHT : PUERTO BANUS</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container zemanta-img&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;zemanta-img&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;zemanta-img&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Puerto_Banus_2005.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: clear:left;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Puerto Banús&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-img-inserted&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/Puerto_Banus_2005.jpg/300px-Puerto_Banus_2005.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: none; font-size: 0.8em;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption zemanta-img-attribution&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; width: 300px;&quot;&gt;Puerto Banús (Photo credit: &lt;a href=&quot;http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Puerto_Banus_2005.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Metallic sounds coupled with harsh Spanish calls of the early morning cleaning lorry echoed across the water. Splashing oars had become the days awakening call. Gently the boats stern nudged the white harbour berthing number. The gangplank was always kept just above the harbour wall, so when anyone decided to embark we instantly would become aware of an intruder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Puerto Banus in the 80s had become a hedonistic playground for the world’s jetsetters. This was not an ordinary playground this was a playground with a touch of the old wild west. The smells that wafted on the morning breeze were worldlier. The acrid vomit, stale urine and tourist detritus assaulted the nostrils with their pungent odours as the morning sun gained in ferocity over the garish shop fronted Marina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Permission to come on board.” The disjointed voice called. The plank crashed on to the dock the vibrations shooting threw the structure of the boat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Craning around the cabin door I strove to identify the voice. The incongorus sight of the bright red bandana wound round the top of his head quickly identified my friend Ronald. The old paint stained pots containing arrays of brushes plonked onto the veneered deck. With an inward sigh of relief I remembered asking him to repaint the flying bridge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Have you a brew on yet Mate” he said the sun wrinkled face splitting into a crooked grin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Heard the news.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“What news”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;He paused for dramatic effect for Ronald had become the sage of Banus. A reputation as the mouth of Banus probably the first English Spanish information superhighway .For in the early 80s there was a lack of English television a dearth of real news&amp;nbsp; Bringing information gleaned from a nightime of foraging Banuses many bars and nightclubs had a certain cache and opened doors. He was in the Know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“ Well “ I asked again&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Spain’s just signed the extradition treaty with England”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Stopping I mused for a minute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Interesting.” I rejoined&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Everyone’s Leaving.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;I pretended as if this nugget of information had been of little interest to me, realising that I would have to spend the day on supervising Ronald’s painting. The last thing I needed was to become another item of news on his ever-increasing news information highway of which no one new the next recipient of his largess?? This left me with difficult decisions. The whistle of the kettle awakened me from these daydreams.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Milk and Sugar.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“Yes to both” he sounded nonplussed by my casual question&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“What are you going to do.” The smile had left his face and a look of intense concentration replaced it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;“ Well “ I said what do you advice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Throwing the ball neatly back into his court, hoping that he would engage in advice giving another one of Ronald’s foibles forgetting quiet conveniently about me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Disclaimer.
