Do you see who is at the centre

‘I am safe in my Body and my Body is safe with me’ I have been using this mantra a lot the last few weeks after experiencing a stressful event that triggered PTSD.... I am so thankful for my tool box full of people and tools to help me when this happens. Yes I experience post traumatic stress. Does it make me feel any less worthy than someone who doesn’t? Absolutely not! But it sure use to! Does it make me feel like I want to help others? Absolutely! What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Post-traumatic stress disorder is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It could be big to you and not to someone else. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it. This fight-or-flight response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm. Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened, even when they are not in danger. Learning grounding techniques to help you before, during and after is so important and very beneficial for staying connected with the present moment and by reducing the likelihood that you may slip into a flashback or into dissociation. To use grounding techniques, you want to use the five senses. Sound, touch, smell, taste, and sight. To connect with the here and now, do something that will bring all your attention to the present moment. Begin by placing your bare feet onto the earth, relaxing your shoulders, forehead and jaw. Tune into the sounds around you. You could try using a calming essential oil to assist your body, mind and spirit. Then, start to notice your breath. Allow your eyes to have a gentle gaze, or if it feels safe gently close them. Notice the rise and the fall of your chest. Begin to count your breaths. Inhaling to 4 - Exhaling to six. For 10 breaths. Or choose a mantra such as the one I chose. ‘I am Safe in my Body and my Body is safe with me’ Remembering to breath. Repeat out loud until you notice the shifts in your body and mind. As always I look forward to meeting with you in person Light and love to all Namaste
