She Transformed Trauma – and Healed Tinnitus – With the Breath

Summary

Woman with three traumatic brain injuries, more than five concussions, spinal injuries, chronic migraines (bedridden in dark room for a month at a time), clinical PTSD, vestibular dizziness causing blackouts and falls, and an inoperable brain aneurysm. She was "a zombie" on multiple prescribed medications, believing in doctors and pharmacies as a "normal secular person" who had never meditated. After doing Progressive and Intensive at home, she attended a retreat wearing back brace, sunglasses, earplugs, hunched over. After three days she declared "I am not my body," removed all supports, stood by the biggest speaker and "started dancing like a maniac." Years of severe tinnitus (like a train through her head) disappeared during breath work when she "became the breath" and heard a pop or click. Seven years later at age 69, she takes no medicine, is pain-free, stronger and healthier than since being a teenager.
