Summary: Can meditation really help to heal from narcissistic abuse? Some people may be skeptical, but meditation has been proven to have benefits that offer hope and healing. Meditation has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the world free themselves from issues like anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, chronic anger and rage, physical illness, addictions, and unhealthy behaviors, sexual and physical abuse and emotional abuse, relationship problems, procrastination and career under-performance. Peggy, Betrayal Trauma Recovery Coach and Journey Works practicioner, states,<br> "Guided Meditation is really an incredible tool to be used for moving forward in life. I choose it because it was fast, and I also really had a foundation and understanding that the record of our life is stored in our bodies and the Journey really accesses that record and helps us to change it."<br> What can meditation do for us as it related to trauma? Anne, founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, states, <br> "Many women who experience the trauma of abuse find themselves having difficulty processing the that trauma and pain. Meditation can help provide clarity and offer space for that processing to happen safely."<br> Peggy also goes on to explain, <br> "We store our memories in our body, Journey meditation teaches this and refers to it as 'cell memories'. We hold the record of our life in our bodies and in order to really release and let go and be free and truly heal, you have to release the body, that includes the emotions. We all have these crystallizing moments."<br> What Are The Benefits To Meditation?<br> There are many benefits to meditation. Here are the top 10:<br> <br> * It lengthens attention span.<br> * Meditation reduces stress. <br> * Meditation controls anxiety.<br> * Promotes emotional health.<br> * Enhances self-awareness.<br> * Meditation is self-affirming.<br> * It can help reduce memory loss.<br> * It can help fight addictions. <br> * Improves sleep. <br> * Helps control pain. <br> <br> It connects to different parts of the brain and it helps them coordinate when you’re in a slower deeper breathing state. There are biological things that happen in meditation that are powerful. When you add visualization to it, which is part of what Journey Work is, it brings all the five senses together. <br> <br> Peggy explains her perspective of the amazing work of meditation,<br> <br> "We all have a primary sense and probably a secondary sense, and so as a Journey Practitioner, I have been trained how to handle that if that comes up with a client. It’s rare because most people have visualization abilities, and by the way, you can increase your ability to visualize."<br> <br> But meditation does not have to be only one-on-one. Peggy states she has very productive group sessions where healing occurs collectively,<br> "The benefits have been great. Everybody shifts, even though it’s not an individual process and I don’t know everything that’s going on. It really creates calm relaxation. They have been a lot of ah ha’s even in the group session with other women. They realize something about themselves or they get a new belief and they’re like: “Wow” and they always check-out feeling very different than when they checked in, which is super awesome."<br> <a href="https://www.btr.org/support-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group</a> can be a wealth of information and support for women who need it now and even for teens.
