What are some meditation methods or other Eastern health-giving methods for post tramtic stress treatment?
I was seeing a therapist for about two years and me and her worked on plentifully of my issues we think the last thing to be done is treating my post traumatic stress that she diagnosed me near a few months ago. Due to certain circumstances I can't see her anymore so now its up to me to deal near it on my own. Does anyone one any meditation methods affirmations that can help. Basically some things happened to me and now im really anxious / hyper-aware of my surroundings and I tend to collaborate fast because i wasnt listened to a lot contained by the past. I need to train my unconscious mind that the world is not out to attain me and that ppl care about me and will listen to me now. Its giving of effecting my social life because driving a car is something ive never learned to do but Im getting more social (something that i worked on near my therapist) so its getting more and more the fact i dont have a car and cant drive. and sometimes i in recent times talk way to fast i enjoy to repeat myself numerous times for ppl to get me or they literally have to let to not have a chat so fast. Its nothing hindering but another entry i have because of my PTSD is i jump around loud noises.

A traditional buddhist meditation method is to breath within and out and focus only on your breathing. Close your eyes and count as you inhale and exhale up to eight and start again at one. Start by doing just 10minues and increase to an hour or so. The trick is not to let your mind drift on to other things around you. so if you find yourself thinking of other things or listen to noises around you - then refocus yourself on your breathing and continue on your breathing. This might give the impression of being simple enough but once you start it you will find that its not as easy as it seems. You'll be much more relaxed after.
Another method is walking. find a catwalk - prob in your own back yard that go in a circular motion and walk along it focusing only on your footsteps...
Good Luck.
I use a combination of NLP and other technique to assist others with PTSD.
I don't know where you are located...
