__________________________________________________ Theta Z, I saw your message on another thread and thought continue here. Thanks and sure you can copy. I also keep changing signatures based on how I feel. I was practicing Transcendental Meditation before head injury on and off. Now I need help because of my mTBI. My mind chatters a lot (especially when symptoms hits and it happens randomly through out the day or go do anything like shopping etc.,). Some times even walking few steps I get fatigued and dizzy). I need to learn new meditation techniques. Interesting I found a Insight meditation group in Washington D.C. www.imcw.org/ It seems it can help you in some ways and you are also realistic by not expecting a miracle cure Keep us posted about your experience when you go there. Cheers! _______________________________________________ pcslife, Thanks so much for your replies to my inquiry. ![]() It's great to hear of your experience with practicing TM meditation before-PCS. To train in meditation anew may be a good basis for our further healing. I'm so impatient with my own process, I know. I can't help the desire to do better to be better. Like your walking a few simple steps --> dizzies, fatigue --- like our struggles with distractions and overwhelm --- I am beset by the dizzies & busy-ness of this mind and it is exhausting! SO, I'm thinking some us indeed might as well put a best effort into a ~2500 yr old technique with 21st century scientific and medical backing. That's potentially a lot therapy for no cost of money. Great news that you've found insight meditation center in the DC-area. [ I looked at it and was pleased to find, front-and-center: "This teaching is given freely ..." Yes. Excellent.] Let's keep posted on our experience, yes. Will reply more to your posts; my brain needs a break from my effort of posting. Sigh ... ![]() And that brings me to close the notebook, close my eyes, and breathe into the present moment. Practice practice practice. ![]() Keep up the good work pcslife. Thanks for your encouragement here. Good healing to you. Theta
