__________________________ Vets iRest Private Forum  Click here The Vets iRest Forum is a closed online community for War Veterans of any era who have been working with using the ten iRest meditation steps in the process of learning to alleviate the symptoms of P.T.S.D. such as insomnia, nightmares, irrational mood swings, isolation and physical and emotional pain. Leaving war on the battlefield is a process that takes time and intention. Healing the invisible wounds of war is imperative to your success and happiness in life. Empowering yourself to return home without the baggage of your experience in the war zone is not only possible, but can improve the quality of your life, and your relationships with yourself and those you love. In the process, you may just help someone else more than you know. Relying on the system to help you with re-entry is often fraught with pitfalls. Any organization may have holes big enough for real people to fall through. If you really wish to heal, the best option is self-directed practice. Embrace the possibility of self-reliance and you may discover inner resources you never knew about. You may have to suspend disbelief for a while, as if watching a movie that is hopeful. But if you can hang in there, you may learn how to remember without being triggered. How to turn off the hypervigilance now and then, so you can relax. How to rely on yourself as a source of security, without shutting out the rest of the people you love. Thank you, in advance, for sharing your experience, strength & hope. This is a give and take tool for finding and giving support whenever you need it - any time, day or night. It beats having to wait until dawn on the nights when your mind is on overdrive. _________________________ featured links >> AARP Read the article recommending FELDENKRAIS and guided visualization for alleviating chronic pain without drugs in the Jan./Feb. issue of AARP Magazine. iRest INTERVIEW Listen to an excellent recent radio interview on kvmr entitled, Integrative Restoration for Awakening, wherein Michael Stone spoke with Richard Miller, author of Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga.

Learn as if you were to live forever." - Gandhi "Seeking happiness outside ourselves is like waiting for sunshine in a cave facing north." - Tibetan Saying "Only that day dawns to which we are awake." - Henry David Thoreau, Walden ____________________ "I struggled to understand ad reconcile how Western civilization, having achieved some outstanding accomplishments, could so often contribute to rather than alleviate human suffering...To remake the world, it seemed we needed to rethink it. After all, solutions depend on how problems are framed, the context within which they exist...Chinese medicine echos the logic of quantum physics, which suggests that we exist in a relative, process-oriented universe in which there is no 'objective' world separable from living subjects.The essential questions cannot be resolved by measuring static 'things'; rather, answers become stories about interactions and relationships. Within this paradigm contradictions are not only sanctioned, but prevail, and truth is purely contextual. In contrast with our conventional Western tendency to draw shapr lines of distinctions, Chinese thought does not strictly determine the boundaries between rest and motion, time and space, mind and matter, sickness and health..." -Between Heaven and Earth by Harriet Beinfield & Efrem Korngold _____________________
