Meditation, sleep meditation, mindfulness exercises, and positive affirmations can be useful tools for healing from past trauma. When we experience stress in our lives, whether it is chronic low levels of stress, or intense traumatic events, a cascade of events are triggered in our mind and body that can lead to disease. As we gain awareness of this process, we are able to practice realigning the communication between our mind and body to experience greater well-being.
What you are thinking about right before you fall asleep will set the tone for the quality of your sleep and your mindset for the next day. You have the choice to change the way you look at things. These thoughts before bed send a message to your subconscious to help you heal.
Trauma can be very serious. Please seek support from professional help if you are struggling.

While this is great, after a while, too many affirmations I don't believe give me anxiety while you continue to say new things. For the future, please give pauses in between. Otherwise, this has been very calming
Very good. Thank you. Calm voice and very helpful session.
This humming stuff is just annoying. It increases my anxiety more than anything else. Screw it. Not soothing in the least.
March 30, 2020: I send HEALING to each of you in Jesus Name! *1) Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14; and 2) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

Grateful
For the first time in my life I realised that the pain I feel when I need to text a women or watch porn is the pain from my childhood. Its my inner child coming to the surface reaching out to me, through a tiny window in a massive wall I’ve built around myself due to the emotional abuse of my narcissistic mother that enmeshed me and I became her surrogate partner. This wall represents the lost inner child that had to suppress it’s needs in order to stop the pain of my parents especially mum resurfacing within them. For the first time in 30+ years I finally touched my inner child with the tip of my finger through a massive cage, made of reinforced steel that represented the beatings, the yelling, the anger my mother disposed on me when I was pure, one with myself with a curious mind, and free heart.
I want to say sorry to my father who abandoned me because he abandoned himself when he left his war ridden country at 17yo with nothing but shorts and shirt. For the first time in my life I realised he loved me, he just couldn’t express it because I found out 2 days ago the he was escapee of a war and couldn’t contact he parents for 30 years out of the fear they would be killed by the communist part in his country. To you my dear dad I miss you with all my heart and Im so so so sorry about your sorrow and I forgive you for abandoning me. I hope you are safe and are finally free from the pain in your heart as you live now in heaven, forever.
Ive been scared of space for a long time. Everything about it just scares me. This got rid of my anxiety and stress
3:30 is where the actual meditation starts
I lost my uncle I lived with just over a month this has help i see a syicologes once a week we do mindfulness exercises most of the 50 minute session and have to practice it at least once a day between sessions I also have PTSD and 2 years ago started getting panic attacks
I have a lot going on in my life, some trauma, some grief, anxiety through the roof, chronic illness. I cried tears of relief when I started listening to this video tonight. Thank you so much. This is the first time my body has felt relaxed in months.
I suffer from stress
In my recovery from covert narcissistic abuse, I have been blessed with so many healing tools and people. I've come a long way in the past 5 years since discovering that my husband was a covert narc. I asked him to leave shortly after. He returned after 18 months and seemed changed…but not really. After another year, my daughter self admitted into the hospital for a suicidal episode linked to his abuse, I told him I was done and told him he needed to leave for good. A year later, here we are. My internal body was shutting down because of all the stress of being hyper vigilant for 25 years. My blood pressure, blood sugar, adrenals, liver, endocrine system, digestion, etc have all been shutting down. I am a Healing bioenergetics practitioner, so I've been working hard on myself and my young adult children because of the effects from the covert abuse. But I'm so grateful for guided meditations when I feel isolated and anxious sometimes. I stumbled upon this one in particular, last night when I was experiencing physical symptoms that put my brain in overthinking mode. As the anxiety built, sleep fled. Thank you for a specific meditation addressing the effects of a traumatized brain and body. It is helpful in disarming the anxiety. I felt a release of energy during the letting go portion of this recording. ?Blessings!
One question: after a 3rd time following the sound breathing, I had a lot of anger surface. I know I've swallowed and choked back a lot of anger from childhood. The pitch of humming lowered considerably in my throat as I focused inward and I could feel my blood pressure rise. Then I noticed that instead of feeling calm and peaceful, I felt angry. My inner child needs me to acknowledge it so it can be healed. I'm working toward integration. And wholeness. Do you have any thoughts you can share with me on this?

This is so calming and lovely. Thank you so much ??
I don't care to hurt over the past , realize worshipers took hurt and pain
I went to sleep listening to this meditation, however I woke up to another nightmare 40 minutes after I laid down! I have PTSD from MST and I am currently going through divorce from an emotionally, verbally and physically abusive husband of 41+ years! I have tried all kinds of sleep aids and natural remedies and I just can't stay asleep! I am exhausted! Do you have any suggestions as this is like the 7th or 8th time I have listened to your videos and I still always wake up after a short time of falling asleep!
I have no idea why, but I’ve had the most horrible nightmares every time I’ve listened to this. I gave it a shot twice and each time I woke up with the most awful feelings.
Thank you so much mindful movement. This is the best, most reputably safe, and it works. I wasn't living, I'm 42 and lived through so much trauma, i stopped living all together. Just trying to get through one day at a time. I would wake up in a panik, and just couldn't wait for bed time. Like i said, I wasn't living at all, i was merely surviving. I am so grateful that my (Cree healer) had directed me to this meditation specificaly. Thank you for giving me a life back. Thank you
This was very relaxing until, the ad came on and jolted me back to stressful reality. You Tube or whoever places these ads need to be instructed in correct commercial placement. Hello Yellow brick cinema, I'm coming home.
So so beneficial for me
The humming stuff became extremely boring very quickly. No peace occurred but irritation rapidly developed. The humming also disturbed my cat who thought I was suffering. Which I kind of was. Suffering boredom and irritation. I never got relaxed vin fact I became more and more tense as the exercise dragged on and on.
Your videos just saved my life
Is anyone here right now who I can talk to please? Something happened to me during this meditation! !!!
this meditation has been sooo helpful for me in a difficult period in my life. i'd love to listen to it as an mp3 file for when i'm not connected to the internet. is it available to download somewhere? thank you so much ?
I lost my beautiful mom at the young age of 59 a few weeks ago and my body feels as if it’s shutting down. I have anxiety and fear? this video was the only thing that calmed me last night and put me to sleep. I haven’t slept for weeks
This meditation is a wisdom teaching as well.
I love listening to Sarah her voice is so soothing.. Perfect.. Thank you so much ?
This video is really just one hour long.
I had astral projection while listening to this
Thank you very much, you are such a blessing
Need a real release
wow instant relief!! I love it ? I've been suffering from anxiety for the last 6 years and I feel worried constantly all the time and i tryed a lot of diffrent things and it seems nothing helping in till I find this video and it's working ?? thank you very much
Loved your talk and meditation, I cannot get over how meditation has helped me learn what I need to know for my study. Shaping my thoughts chat was very helpful. Thank you
I have suicidal thoughts all the time because I can’t go on like this
…world is full of sounds, and sounds are killing me,
It gives me severe muscle strains and inflammation and then I have to heal
….you have to isolate to heal
I mean I suffer from PTSD and severe inflammation…
It’s too hard because I suffer from severe information when I hear loud sounds I jump and then my muscle strains & and spasms
It takes weeks to recover I can’t go on like this anymore
This meditation is SO helpful, transforms my pain to ease and comfort, very uplifting, thank you !
I have complex-PTSD and fell asleep to this and had a nightmare while listening to it ?.. I woke up and it was still playing
God bless it helps me to sleep better
Adverts in the middle? 🙁
I had a cold sore yesterday listened to your meditation and today it’s gone thank-you xx
Her voice actually woke me up more. ?
I t is quiet stressful for me when I am supposed to breath other than the normal breathing.
Can someone please check on the comment made by Alexandra Armen 4 days ago?? Also THANKS so much for these meditations. I've REALLY struggled with sleep and have finally found something that works. Xx
