We call it the “present” moment because it is a gift to let go of the past and future 🧘‍♀️

Everything in this world is constantly changing & not permanent, everything in this world is unsatisfactory, and everything in this world is impersonal.

We can use meditation to understand the escape methods we have attached to; through observation, we can learn to let go & live in the present moment, or we can try to run from trauma for the rest of our human lives. This is a choice that we all make every day.

Are you escaping or observing?

✨𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓾𝓶𝓪 is largely misunderstood✨

It is often thought of as a distressing event, however, it is really the 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦 to a distressing event and that is why some people experience trauma while others don’t from the same event.

Trauma is individualized. It’s an emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual reaction from extreme distress. It is so distressing in fact that it 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦. And the trauma response is born. This inability to cope leads to dissociation, PTSD, panic attacks, and more. It’s an extremely complex concept and topic, but I feel like it’s important we start talking about it so we can better understand it.

What do you think about this definition? Would you add or change it? Leave me a comment and let’s start discussing trauma ⬇️

Good morning all! There will be a 100% FREE meditation class at Gille Park in Lacey Township today underneath the pavilion; I plan to be at Gille from 9am until 1pm. Let's meditate (even if it's raining)!

No monetary donations will be accepted. This is a 100% free service.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness month. More often than not, codependency stems from trauma that we have been trying to escape from; this cycle of suffering has been going on for many decades for some of us, and the escape methods we use differ between individuals. However, regardless of the escape method we use, the cycle of suffering is remarkably similar: desire arises into the consciousness, we follow that desire until we become attached, the desire no longer feels fulfilling, & we feel like the heart is now missing something, which leads us to the beginning of the cycle & so we find a new desire to cling to.

There is a way out of the cycle of suffering for every single one of us and an important step in that direction is to take the time to develop right understanding of the world created by the mind. Meditation can help us to observe and detach from any trauma clinging in the mind and also to develop a full understanding of the world that the mind has created.

Hi all, this page is brand new! Thank you for observing & thank you for liking 🙂

This page is dedicated to bringing free meditation to Ocean County. Meditation can be a very useful tool, which we may use to train the mind in order to observe conditions instead of attaching to conditions.
