Combat Veteran Drummer Helping Veterans with PTSD

Abigail Edwards is a 13-year combat veteran who served in the 82nd & 101st Airborne Divisions (Two tours of duty in Afghanistan). In her spiritual work, she helps fellow veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), an extremely debilitating condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event involving actual or threatened death or serious injury to self or others. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, PTSD can have an acute onset soon after the trauma, or a delayed onset in which the symptoms occur more than six months after the trauma. PTSD alters the way the body responds to stress, effecting mediators such as stress hormones and neurotransmitters.

Abigail uses plant medicine, Reiki, shakers, and her most powerful weapon--her shamanic drum--to treat victims of PTSD in Kentucky and Ohio. Drumming enhances recovery through inducing relaxation, stimulating the release of emotional trauma and producing deeper self-awareness. The aim of treatment is to reduce the symptoms by encouraging the affected person to recall the event, to express feelings, and to gain some sense of mastery over the experience. To date, Abigail has helped over 57 veterans and facilitates this healing work for FREE.

According to Abigail: "There is no better gift you can give someone than to help return their consciousness. It's an honor to remind the others of their missions on Earth and to remove the proverbial 'lint' from their astral bodies."

In one of her spiritual journeys, she was gifted activations and explicit directions on how to facilitate the healings for the people. The exact phrase of cosmic wisdom they shared was, "It will be like dominoes in the sea of consciousness, raising the frequency with each of the healings. HEAL THE LIONS!"

Abigail is a shining example of compassionate people reaching out to help those in need as they navigate their spirit path in this life. Aho!

I hate how my doctors are constantly asking me if I'm still using kratom and cannabis. (I know, it's part of their job.) Yes I am, because my life is fucking miserable and they make things tolerable. I want to die a lot of the time because my life has been made a living hell by multiple illnesses. (Depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, sleep apnea, ADHD, autism, fibromyalgia, and endometriosis.) If anyone has an excuse, it's me. What's more, scientists are continuing to find more evidence every year that my illnesses can be successfully treated with cannabis. So why are they trying to get me to stop? I'd rather get off the psych meds which I don't think are helping much at this point, since your brain habituates to psychoactive substances that are used daily for years. That's why psych meds have this effect of "pooping out" after a few years.

I don't want to be stuck in the house feeling sorry for myself!

Caisey Harlingten Reviews Why You Need to Keep an Open Mind While Trying Out Alternative Medicine

In the course of working on your health and wellbeing there may be times that you may end up thinking you are getting nowhere with your efforts. A lot of times you may also question your method of working on yourself and there may be times when you think that you are left with no option but to entirely abandon your resolve. This is something that is also true for solutions like alternative medicines and therapies. A lot of people embark on their wellness journey with the help of alternative therapies but end up not going further with their efforts because they think they are not finding the results that they initially expected to achieve. According to Caisey Harlingten Canada – The use of plants in medicine, leads a lot of people to take up therapies on a whim without truly understanding how they work.

The truth is that when you do not completely understand how and why a therapy works, you may not know what to expect from it either. This is an important reason why you need to make sure that you choose to keep an open mind when you take up any kind of an alternative therapy. Here are some of the things that can work for you when you choose to keep an open mind while opting for alternative therapies:

Time Taken for The Effects:

One of the most important things that you need to be aware about and accept for fact is that the results from all alternative therapy methods may not be instant. It may be very long before you are able to start seeing the effects or the difference in yourself, which is why you need to make sure that you choose to give the therapy some time. If you think you will start seeing results overnight, you may be in for a rude shock. However, being patient and waiting may help reap the results and the benefits that you expect to get.

The Impact:

Initially when you start to see results with alternative therapy, it is possible that you may see slow results. The impact that takes place on your health, body and mind may not be as apparent as you expect it to be which is why you may think that the therapies are not working at all. However, if you pay attention to detail you will notice that there may be small but steady positive changes that start occurring when you are consistent in your effort.

An Umbrella of Solutions:

Experts like Caisey Harlingten – Difference Between Modern, Traditional and Alternative Medicines​​​​​​​ which means that when you opt for the right alternative therapies, you can be sure about finding an overall positive effect on your body. While you can make use of alternative therapies for specific issues that you may be facing, you can be assured of finding a positive impact on a comprehensive set of issues in your body.

It can be safely said that keeping an open mind about alternative therapies will help in creating a happy and healthy body.

Balancing Hormones: Effective Menopause Treatment Approaches

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It typically occurs in women in their late 40s to early 50s and is characterized by a decline in hormone production, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal shift can lead to a variety of symptoms, ranging from hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and vaginal dryness. Fortunately, there are several effective menopause treatment approaches available to help alleviate these symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

Understanding Menopause Treatment

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): One of the most common and effective Menopause Treatment is hormone replacement therapy. HRT involves taking estrogen alone or estrogen combined with progesterone to replace the hormones that decline during menopause. This can help alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy: Bioidentical hormones are compounds that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. Bioidentical hormone therapy, also known as natural hormone therapy, aims to mimic the body's natural hormone levels more closely than traditional hormone therapy. This approach may offer relief from menopausal symptoms with potentially fewer side effects.

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): SERMs are a class of medications that act on estrogen receptors in the body. They can mimic the effects of estrogen in some tissues while blocking estrogen in others. SERMs may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes and to prevent bone loss associated with menopause.

Mistletoe as an Alternative Therapy for Cancer A Comprehensive Review.

Alternative therapies are being investigated by researchers and practitioners more often in an effort to find new and comprehensive ways to cancer therapy. The application of mistletoe as a possible cancer treatment is one such interesting direction. We will examine the scientific data, historical background, and current research on mistletoe's possibility as a cancer therapy in this comprehensive analysis.

Investigating The History of Mistletoe in Healing Mistletoe has a long history that stems from many different cultural and medical customs. Mistletoe was prized by ancient cultures, such as the Druids, for its supposed therapeutic qualities. It has been linked to several medical uses over the ages, and its potential for cancer treatment has lately drawn interest.

The Research Underpinning Mistletoe's Anti-Cancer Effects: Research on the anti-cancer properties of mistletoe has produced some interesting findings. A complex blend of chemicals found in mistletoe extracts has been shown in laboratory experiments to have anti-tumor properties. We shall examine the main bioactive compounds and their modes of action to clarify how mistletoe affects cancerous cells.

We have traveled through the history of mistletoe, investigated its scientific foundations, and looked at its use in modern cancer treatments in this comprehensive examination. Mistletoe is a promising herb, but it's important to approach complementary and alternative medicine with care. Understanding the promise in nature may help us traverse the challenging field of cancer therapy and create new opportunities for both practitioners and patients.

How to Do a Therapeutic Drum Massage

A therapeutic drum massage is a profound way to restore the vibrational integrity of body, mind and spirit. Through the natural law of resonance, the sound waves produced by the drum impart their energy to the resonating systems of the body, mind and spirit, making them vibrate in sympathy. When we drum, our living flesh, brainwaves and spiritual energy centers begin to vibrate in response. This sympathetic resonance forms new harmonic alignments, opens the body's energy meridians, releases blocked emotional patterns, promotes healing, and helps connect us to our core, enhancing our sense of empowerment and stimulating our creative expression. A single-headed frame or hoop drum works best for a drum massage. The larger the drum, the greater the resonance. You will need a partner to act as your client. The basic steps are as follows:

First, have your partner lie down on his or her back on a blanket spread on the floor of a quiet room. During the drumming, the client's only task is to remain still and relaxed with eyes closed and to stay aware of what they are experiencing.

Kneel down next to the client and hold the drum so that the lacing or open end opposite the drumhead faces the client. Most of the sound energy from a single-headed drum flows out through the opening opposite the head of the drum. By holding the drum over the client in this manner, a resonating energy current will flow readily into the client when you strike the head of the drum.

Starting at the feet of the client, begin drumming a rapid cadence of about three to four beats per second. Find the drum's sweet spot and make it sing and hum. Work the drum to build up the hum of the overtones. These are the best frequencies for healing.

Crawling along beside the client, gradually move the drum from the feet to the top of the head. Keep the drumhead parallel to the client and 18 to 24 inches above the body.

Listen very carefully to the sound and resonance of the drum as you move it back and forth over the body. It is not unusual for the drum to go flat or lose its resonance over a portion of the body that is in need of healing. When this happens, continue to drum that area until the drum begins to sing again. Let the drum do the healing.

Upon reaching the top of the head, make your way gradually back down to the feet.

Upon returning to the feet, make certain that you drum this area for at least a minute to firmly ground the client back into his or her body.

Standing Drum Massage

A standing drum massage should also be explored. Have the client stand with his or her feet parallel and about six inches apart. Their knees should be slightly bent, removing any strain on the lower back that would occur if the knees were locked. The arms should rest easily at the sides of the body. You should stand about two feet away, facing the client, and perform the basic steps of the exercise as outlined above. You will have to kneel or squat down to effectively drum the client's feet, and then gradually stand as you bring the drum up the body. It is not unusual for the client to rock or sway while being drummed.

A variant of the standing version can be undertaken with up to four drummers. Have the drummers stand at the four cardinal points with the client standing in the center, facing whichever direction he or she feels most appropriate. The four drummers should drum in sync as they move up and down the body. It is not necessary to move in sync, since each drummer may find that a different portion of the client's body requires more attention. Be careful that you don't overwhelm the client with an energy overload. Four drums will generate a powerful vortex of energy and move it up the body from the feet to the top of the head. This ascending surge of energy tends to give the client the sensation of leaving the body through the top of the head. It is very powerful and ecstatic--a peak experience. When the drummers reverse direction, they bring the energy back down into the physical body and help ground the client.

Finally, there is a very powerful group variant of the standing version. The group version works well with eight or more participants. I have facilitated this exercise with groups of up to 40 people. First, divide everyone into two equal groups--one group of drummers and one group to be drummed. All participants in the group to be drummed should stand shoulder to shoulder in a circle, facing outward. The drummers should then form a circle around this inner circle and perform the exercise as outlined above. Upon completion of the exercise, the participants in the inner circle should exchange places with those in the outer circle, then repeat the exercise.

Allow your intuition to guide you when performing a drum massage. Experiment with different postures, tempos, and rhythms. There is no single right way to do it. Each person must ultimately go within to find his or her own way.
