Presence/meditation
Wondering where to start? A good first step is presence, being mindful and aware of the moment that you are in right now. Quite your thinking mind however briefly, and focus on something small, your breath, the feel of your toes against the floor, the feel of your scalp. Congratulations! That’s a great first step. For more resources on practicing presence, consult any of the works of Eckhart Tolle, but most highly recommended is his book A New Earth, and his podcast, Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings.
Meditation is a well-known method to calm the brain and promote relaxation. There are a wide number to choose from, but we recommend the Jose Silva Centering exercise, sometimes called the 3-2-1 method. What sets this apart is that it is designed to accelerate its own benefits. If you complete the full, approximately 20-minute relaxation method several times (8-12), you can replicate the relaxation benefits in seconds by repeating the prompts in your head. This leaves you in an optimal state for manifestation practices and also better able deal with any stressful situation that you may face.
Resources for Healing.
The good news is there are countless books, podcasts, and videos available on how to help people heal. The authors of this site recommend you follow your own instincts as to which resources speak to your needs, whether you find them on this site or elsewhere. The categories are vague, as labels usual are. Most of the resources overlap in topic. There are no links to physical books or podcasts, only recommend that you find them on your preferred platforms.

Trauma therapies
There are several therapies available to heal trauma. Most people can benefit from multiple modalities. In an ideal world, everyone would have access to an experienced therapist. In reality, most have many obstacles to getting effective treatment. Many of these therapies can be safely practiced at home. You may find further guidance on your favorite video platform.
