Meditation for abuse or trauma

When a person suffers abuse or some other form of emotional trauma growing up, they may reach adulthood with a threshold for what they can handle coming at them from the world that is lower than if they had not suffered the trauma. People, things, and situations will bother them more than they bother other people, and will more easily push them into feeling stressed, or even overwhelmed. When stressed or overwhelmed, these "low threshold"
people will attempt to cope with this situation, typical coping responses being anger, depression, anxiety, fear, overeating, substance abuse, and a number of others.

The point is this: most of the symptoms of abuse from which we suffer are really a result of having a threshold too low to handle the environment in which we find ourselves. This understanding of the underlying cause changes the way we look at finding a solution that really works.

Unlike approaches that medicate us, or that just treat the symptoms of abuse, we've found that using Holosync audio technology actually raises the threshold at which one feels stressed or overwhelmed, which means that the symptomatic feelings and behaviors we suffer from fall away.

It's a lot like a runner who begins his training with a certain threshold for what he can handle physically but, by running every day and pushing against that threshold, raises it to a point where he can physically handle what would have overwhelmed him in the beginning.

After a certain amount of time in the Centerpointe program, this new and higher threshold not only becomes equal to that of the "healthy" person who did not suffered the same trauma growing up, it actually exceeds it. People who were initially over-sensitive become calm, centered, and unflappable, and are actually able to handle stressful situations better than "healthy" people!

While there are psychological reasons why the Centerpointe program effectively heals past emotional traumas, recent research reveals one biochemical reason why (and how) Holosync raises this threshold for stress and therefore causes coping responses such as depression, anger, anxiety, and so on, to diminish and fall away.

In the summer of 1998, Dr. Vincent Giampapa, M.D., head of Longevity Institute International and past President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, conducted a study involving 19 users of Holosync audio technology (soon to be published in the Journal of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine).

Dr. Giampapa did a "before and after" test of several important bio-markers related to stress. Two of these hormones specifically relate to stress, depression, anxiety, and other symptoms of emotional trauma: DHEA and Cortisol. Dr. Giampapa wanted to see if listening to soundtracks containing Holosync audio technology changed the levels of these important hormones that have so much to do with your overall level of well-being and the quality of your life.

Here is a brief summary of what these important hormones do, why they're important, and how they relate to the symptoms of emotional abuse.

Cortisol is a hormone naturally produced by your adrenal glands.
According to Dr. Giampapa, Cortisol is the major stress-inducing hormone within the brain. It also interferes with learning and memory and is, in general, bad news for your health and your well-being. If you have high levels of Cortisol, you will feel stressed and exhibit many of the symptoms of emotional abuse.

The second hormone, DHEA, is also produced by your adrenal glands. It is a precursor, or source ingredient, to virtually every hormone your body needs. DHEA levels are a key determinant of physiological age and resistance to stress and disease. When DHEA levels are low, you're more susceptible to stress, aging and disease; when they're high, the body is at its peak -- vibrant, healthy, and able to combat stress (and disease) effectively.

DHEA acts as a buffer against stress-related hormones (such as Cortisol), which is why as you get older and make less DHEA you are more susceptible to stress and disease, and even depression.
If you make enough DHEA, it can buffer the effects of Cortisol and therefore reduce your stress.

So, here's what Dr. Giampapa found when he did the before and after study:

* In just three days, the average increase in DHEA levels was 43.77%! Several people had increases of 50, 60, even 90%!

* Cortisol was down an average of 46.47%, with several people having decreases of 70 or 80%!

These results show that Holosync creates significant positive changes in the biochemical causes of stress. This is one reason why if listening to soundtracks with Holosync will make a big difference in your life.

I was, myself, a victim of emotional (and also physical) abuse.
When I began using Holosync soundtracks to meditate back in 1985, my favorite coping mechanism was anger, closely followed by depression. As I write this, I can truthfully say anger and depression are no longer part of my life. I am certainly capable of feeling down, or angry -- temporarily -- but it is moderate, and there are things I can do to easily get out of it. My threshold for what I can handle is so high that very little bothers me anymore, and the coping mechanisms I learned growing up have fallen away through disuse.

After unsuccessfully trying so many other approaches, this change absolutely amazed me, but as you can imagine it was very, very welcome. My life now is totally different.

I have heard the same story from many, many Centerpointe program participants over the years, and if the after-effects of emotional trauma are a problem for you, the Centerpointe program will definitely help. It is not a 30-day miracle, but even after a few short months in the program you will notice many things that bothered you previously do not affect you in the same way.

It is wonderful, after suffering through years of depression, anxiety, fear, and other dysfunctional feelings and behaviors, to be free of them. I invite you to join the program now. With our one-year money-back guarantee, there is no risk to give it a try.

Here are a few comments from people currently using the Centerpointe
program:

"I have been meditating for almost 18 years now and there have been huge changes in that time. But in the last two months since I began the program, things are changing so fast it's hard to believe. Things I've been trying to get to the bottom of for ages, and really put in a lot of "work" on, are just dissolving beautifully. I seem to be seeing things so much more clearly, faster, and without the EFFORT. As far as I'm concerned the first level paid for itself in the first week and it just keeps getting better. I knew what my "problem" was intellectually but I couldn't change it or get at it. So thank you for creating this great programme and I'm spreading the word."
Judith E., Bullaburra NSW Australia

"I've felt all along I have been the cause but was caught in some kind of endless loop of repeating dramas I couldn't escape by myself. I feel now I am in the process of getting rid of the rest of the dramas holding me back from the rest of the experiences I yearn for. Escaping these consciously unwanted dramas is worth a ny monetary price. Realizing I have been doing one of these dramas (depression and tears) for about 50 years, taking only a couple of months to get rid of it is quite miraculous."
- Carol O., Vista, California

"I don't wish to go on at great length about the results of my first few levels of Holosynching. It is, of course, very subjective, and parts of it sound kind of New Age hokey.
But here's the short list. My intense bouts of depression lessened in frequency, duration and depth. My anger began to dissipate, and with that came a corresponding increase in patience. I stopped taking so many things personally; I could let go. My relationships with people opened up and became more honest. There was a greater sense of peace, of the inter-connectedness of all things. Paranoia and fear, constant companions for most of my life, began to fade away. Things I never would have considered doing before (writing stuff like this for instance), I now tried without a second thought. It was a gradual unfolding, a very subtle process. Like a child who grows day by day, but you don't notice because you live with him/her all the time. Then one day-omigod!-the shoes don't fit any more and you suddenly wake up to see how much growth has happened." - Bob Trout by Email

"When I first started the Centerpointe program about one year ago, I figured I had pretty much come to terms with all my internal struggles and 'ancient' history. Perhaps on some level I had, though some aspects of my internal life were still uncomfortable. The program definitely took me deeper, which is where I had to go to begin to flush-out all the accumulated and 'stuck' emotions, games, etc., that were still making my life miserable. At school, I was going through a particularly tough time, much of it beyond my ability to control. In the past, that would have absolutely enraged me. Now, I found that I was able to accept things as they happened and allow events to unfold without feeling that I had to affect the outcome of every situation. For the first time in my life I could step back, relax, and let go...and be okay with whatever the outcome was. The other students made comments about my newfound calm and peace of mind. I was promised in the literature, and I have to say that I definitely feel I am functioning at a higher level now than I was before using the program." - Susan Senko, BC, Canada
