This is a story on TM from another teacher.... I have taught many now in our Jersey centre suffering with the same please share with family or friends you think may benefit from learning TM Val Murray 07797746078 Jersey TM Centre I recently taught Transcendental Meditation (TM) to a wonderful woman who suffered from (C)PTSD for over 46 years. Read her amazing testimonial about her transformational experience of learning TM. Deboragh Varnel - President, AV Royal Consulting Certified Teacher of Transcendental Meditation, Helping Professionals Increase Creativity, Happiness & Inner Peace Please share Lorraines story and pass it on to anyone you know who suffers from stress, anxiety and PTSD so that they too will have a chance of getting relief and renewed hope like Lorraine did. Here is her story: The stigma that blankets mental health issues in our society can be compared to the bystander witnessing bullying without intervening - the wrong message is conveyed, only deepening the negative conditions and outcomes. This, where (C)PTSD is concerned, is the case for me. My trauma began when I was 7 years old and only in the last few months of my 54th year, was I able to find clarity towards there being a light at the end of my CPSTD condition. The social stigma of PTSD sent my healing journey underground, only to continue to manifests symptoms that were at times debilitating. I had researched Transcendental Meditation (TM) on and off for years, really yearning to want to believe it was all everyone said it was, but silently thinking, how can something that is so easy, be as effective as Im reading? In short, I was skeptical. Like so many of us, when my proverbial back is against the wall, we reach out for something different that will take us to a different conclusion. My PTSD symptoms had been triggered of late and decided it was my time to learn to TM. I quickly found Deboragh Varnel and William Ayling to facilitate my TM learning here in Vancouver. Within a very short time, I began to feel Hope. The scientific evidence, backed by the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical testimonials from so many people was all starting to land, and I felt as though I had been granted a life-affirming gift. Indeed, I have been. Over the four days of TM instruction with Deboragh, subtle changes to my extreme auto response system started to soften to the point of even surprising myself under conditions that a few days prior would have triggered me into an automatic, negative response, to now, not only having no fuse, but simply, no reaction except a calm movement from one moment into another. My feelings of free falling out of control are dissipating at a very comfortable rate and its now obvious and enormously reassuring that my practice of TM has not only given me a life that I can thoroughly thrive within, but has also given me a soft yet solid place to land, where the feeling of free falling becomes more and more short lived every day as I meditate daily towards liberation once and for all. Deboragh was masterful at supporting and encouraging me throughout my TM training journey, and beyond, and created a safe and comfortable environment for me to be open to the gifts that were mine for the asking. Today is the 6th day of my new life as I now know it to be, and as if looking at through a different lense, the whole world feels like a more comfortable, manageable, loving, hopeful and peaceful place to cherish instead of an existence to fear and be on guard against. People in my life have already noticed a difference in my energy and my automatic PTSD responses are simply melting away. This, in short, for me, is miraculous! Deboragh and William, thank you, for being such wise and wonderful guides, I now look forward to each day with a new-found enthusiasm and feel as though my whole being has been cleansed, and that my soul and spirit have found their way home. I am forever grateful, thank you both, from my heart.
