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.

Privacy

This web site is owned and operated by Gabrielle Pullen. My intention is to provide an informative tool for those interested in augmenting their aliveness via somatic education and networking with others on the same path. I recognize that visitors to my site may be concerned about the information they provide and how that information is treated. In keeping with the mission of Focus Mind and Body, I am committed to honoring the privacy preferences of all who use the site. To this end, Focus Mind and Body supports the following principles:

Consumer Choice

I believe a visitor to this site is the one to best determine

  • When-and under what conditions-to provide “personally identifiable information” (e.g. data that may be used to identify, contact, or locate a person).
  • When such information may be shared with other organizations.
  • When to remain anonymous.

Informed Consent

If personally identifiable information is collected, I believe a visitor to this site has the right to:

  • Know when personal information is being collected.
  • Know what personal information is collected, and the purpose of collection.
  • Expect the opportunity to choose whether or not personal information will be provided to any third parties.
  • Expect reasonable steps to be taken to protect personal information from unauthorized use.

Personal Information Collected

In general, when you visit this web site and access information you remain anonymous. Registration requiring  you to provide personal information is not released to any other users of this site, or elsewhere. There are occasions when additional information is requested to better understand and respond to your needs, and provide you with services that may be valuable to you. For example, personally identifiable information will be collected in order for you to become a member of Focus Mind and Body online.

Use of Information

Personally identifiable information is not made available to other non-profit organizations or to for-profit organizations unless you request otherwise. Your personal information will not be made available to other organizations.
