One in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime - it affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults every year. PTSD can occur in anyone of any age, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. The lifetime prevalence in adolescents (aged 13 -18) is 8%, and women are twice as likely than men to have PTSD.
PTSD may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of distressing circumstances, including natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma/war, intimate partner violence and bullying. A person may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, and this could affect the person’s mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being.
Unfortunately, long after the traumatic event has ended, people with PTSD may continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts, and feelings related to their experience.
This workshop aims to provide an in-depth understanding about PTSD including current treatments and updated research studies on the condition, as well as introducing participants to a meditation method focused on cleansing stressed mind to help relieve the PTSD symptoms.

I find this particular meditation method to be very different from than other methods I've tried. The singular focus here is on completing one's life lived. Even in a group setting like Zoom, it still feels very personal, the guides make themselves available for questions and the instructions are clear, concise, and easy to follow.
The Better Sleep Meditation is unique in that it is specifically geared toward relaxing in preparation for sleep. It's calming, and helps to clear the mind before bed. People from all over the country join too!
Before meditation, my mind always felt as if I was driving on a cluttered and clogged freeway. After meditation, whatever I do, I feel like I am driving on a pretty and open freeway. Working as a private physician managing my own business, being a mom of 2 little ones, actively involved in 3 major community organizations, volunteer teaching dance to kids, I wear a lot of hats. It’s easy to be distracted or carry grievances from one part of my life to the other. I cannot tell you how much this meditation method was effective in helping me clear my mind clutter effectively and live in the moment. The more I am able to clear, the deeper my experience is which ever hat I am wearing. This is because I’m able to give my 100% to what I am doing at that moment. My patients especially started saying to me that they feel that I really listen and understand them. Which ever profession you are in and even if you are not working, I highly recommend this meditation to improve focus and fulfillment in anything you do.
