**** I am posting this with an editors note: this is an advertisement to
purchase book however in the email it does contain a very simple and helpful
meditation technique that is similar to one i have used and can work very well
for some people to relax them during stressful times (like panic attacks). it
only takes a few minutes and cannot hurt to try if you want to try it. in no
way is this an endorsement to buy the book being sold. ****
My name's Juliet and we have been working with people suffering from PTSD for
the last 7 years. In this time we've found some really good self help techniques
which we'd be happy to post for people to use. Addressing Negative Emotions
We have been working for the last 7 years with adolescents and adults with
physical and emotional illnesses and have identified a way that people can
"Listen to their Bodies" thus allowing them to access their unconscious
blockages which lead to emotional or physical problems. We now work with people
who have had abuse, domestic violence, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar,
self harming, other mental and physical illness, (such as MS and ME)
Often we have the emotion, but not the memory of why we feel the way we do, but
there is a proven way of accessing and dealing with these traumatic past events.
To access this knowledge, first people need to learn to meditate, 20 mins a day
will do, as this will allow them to access the information they need quickly
when they have a "trigger" By this I mean they experience a negative emotion.
We are all the product of everything that has happened in our lives and our
characters are formed in the first seven years. So if we have a negative
experience, then this is what our reactions are then based on. For example, a
three year old child sees her dad trying to strangle her mum. This sets up a
fear of men, so that when a man attempts to talk to her as an adult she is
frightened. The man hasn't done anything and rationally she shouldn't be
frightened, she experiences fear, due to the negative episode when she was 3.
She has no memory of the event, only the emotion and therefore does not
rationally understand why she feels the way she does. This is how you tell if
its an unconscious memory, you cant rationalise it.
The Tau Tree is the meditation we recommend (attached) as from our experience it
is the most powerful.
So lets say that you're at work / home and a negative emotion comes up, anger,
upset, fear. Don't react to it as its a trigger and the stronger it is the
easier it is to find out where it originates from. (I know this is difficult and
it takes practice not to react), however reacting to it will just allow it to
come back stronger the next time.
Take yourself off to a quiet place (the toilet is always good!), close your eyes
and ask yourself what age you were when the foundations of this emotion was put
in.
In your minds eye, see yourself at the age you were when the scenario or issue
happened and the people who were also involved in the scenario.
Wrap the people involved in a silver bubble of protection and then allow your
inner child to say whatever they want to the others involved. Your adult self
supports your inner child. The emotion is released, so you may feel upset. Don't
rationalise it as an adult as you wont then honour your inner child's feelings.
You felt like that as a child and so they are the feelings which need to be
released. Telling your inner child how well they are doing will help.
When you have finished releasing the emotion, forgive the person for what they
did or didn't do and forgive yourself. Visualise any silver threads which
connect yourself to them and remove these. These are conditions on your love,
preventing unconditional love or if you have anger, it prevents divine
intervention (what goes around to come around, by law of Karma). So either way
they need to be removed.
You should acknowledge the lesson which this scenario has taught you
If you think of this scenario again, if all of the negative attachment has been
released you will feel neutral, if not there is still emotion to be released
around it, something else which hasn't been said or an attached scenario, which
will also need to be released. If this is the case ask yourself what else needs
to be released and go through this process again. When this has been fully done
then that trigger will no longer be active. For example the lady who saw her dad
trying to strangle her mum, when she was 3, she lost her fear of men. Other
people have lost physical symptoms, such as pain and numbness in their legs
(lady with Multiple Sclerosis)
The Tau Tree and Inner Child Work
1. Visualise a beautiful green field.
2. See yourself walking up to a beautiful old oak tree.
3. See a hole in the base of the tree and a staircase going down
4. Go down the staircase until you get to the middle of the earth
5. Sit on the floor and see a small seed
6. Plant the seed in front of you and see a watering can
7. Water the newly planted seed
8. See your feet and break off your old dead roots
9. See the new shoots coming from the seed and wrap these around your feet
10. See the new roots pushing you back up the staircase until you get to the
surface of the earth and the trunk of the oak tree. See the light which comes up
your roots, coming up the oak tree until it gets to the top of the oak tree and
the top of your head
11. See two branches of the tree and a dove of piece which sits between the two
branches
12. As the light is pulled up past the dove, see a light being pulled down from
the sky to connect your lower self with your higher self.
13. In this meditative state, look around in your visualisation and see if there
are and younger versions of your self saty on clouds. If you see any, ask those
parts to come back to you
14. Cuddle the "little you" and tell those parts how much you love them
15. Ensure that you do this for all ages which you see, eg 4,5,7, 28 or
whatever.
16. When this is done, go to the base of the tree, taking the "little yous" with
you
17. See a silver path before you and walk down it until you come to a beautiful
lagoon.
18. In the visualisation, take off your clothes and those of your inner children
and all wash each other
19. When you are ready, see a waterfall and stand beneath it, allowing the water
to wash through your body, and ask yourself to let go of old emotions.
20. This may lead you to feel upset, so just allow this to be released, from
your adult self or inner child. Support your inner child and tell them how brave
they are.
The last piece to add is the "Listening to Our Bodies, Body Map" This is useful
when we have pain or discomfort or if people are struggling to find the source
of their physical or mental pain. Therapists can be taught to help clients to
use this too. All our therapists have trained in both Reiki and counselling.
This map allows therapists to guide the client or indeed the client themselves
to the source of their pain so that instead of reaching for the paracteamol,
they are able to close their eyes and reach inside.
It would be good if you could spread this knowledge. Its ancient knowledge which
is very effective.
People can find out more about the techniques we use by purchasing the Golden
Atlantean Book of Healing

our web site www.reikiresearchfoundation.org .
There is a "Body Map " but this format wont allow me to post that, so if anyone
wants that they can contact me and I'll send it to you
Kind Regards
