PTSD occurs in people who go through extreme emotional trauma involving a perceived threat of death or severe injury. It is a debilitating disorder that causes a person to relive the traumatic event in the form of nightmares or disturbing visual flashbacks throughout the day. Other possible symptoms of PTSD include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, insomnia, aggressiveness, or irritability.

PTSD is most often associated with veterans who experienced extreme brutality in war, but it can also be brought on by traumatic events such as rape, physical assault, car accidents, or any other devastating experience that throws a person into a state of shock. A person can also develop symptoms of PTSD from trauma of mild to moderate stress that is chronic or common in occurrence, such as the stress experienced by individuals with chronic and debilitating illnesses.

Dear Ones, every day you get to choose what you will place your focus upon. What are you looking for evidence of today? Is it lack and what is unwanted? Or is it love and the abundance of things that are wonderful that exist all around you? Your focus is your magnifier, your agreement, your blessing. A mindful human being honours the sacred power of their attention and is wisely selective of what they gift their focus to, because through that act is a choice of continuation. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

It is good just to be with Me. What more do you want?

We do not have to talk. We do not have to think, for We also exist beyond thought. There is nothing you have to do but come to Me. Welcome yourself to Me. Come to Me in your awareness. This is not an act that you initiate. This happens of itself. This will most certainly come of itself.

This is not something you do. You don’t DO it. No one can DO it. It IS. And, yet, you walk into the Kingdom of Heaven. You do not stand on ceremony. You have already had a star-spangled invitation. There never was a time you did not. You may have overlooked an invitation. Just couldn’t see it. Perhaps thought it was a bill that had come in the mail.

Your invitation can arrive like this:

You are washing dishes, and you hear a knock on the door. You did not know there would be a knock on the door at this moment. You dry your hands on your apron, and you open the door. And here I am. I suggest you anticipate this knock on the door. I WILL knock on your door.

One day, if only for a moment, you will open the door that I knocked on. You will find yourself spontaneously before Me in your Awareness. It is as if you are witnessing yourself. You are not making this happen. You are watching it happen. You are Light bowing down to Light, your Very Self.

Without effort or even intention on your part, you become all Light. Maybe just for a bleep of a moment, you are no longer encased in a body. Wow, you are light before Me.

A regular meditation practice brings with it many benefits, such as increased brain density, a boost in connections between neurons, decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety, improved clarity of thought, and an increase in endorphins that affect mood. Surprisingly to many, the advantages of meditation extend beyond the brain, and published studies have shown it can improve physical functioning and vitality, decrease chronic disease risks, and enhance overall quality of life.
