Heartmind, NSM Meditation, Rewiring to Break Free from Self-Limiting Behaviors & Moldy Distiller

Neuro Somatic Mindfulness (NSM) Meditation: I’ve been a member of Heartmind Institute for some time now, and I’ve loved it. I attend weekly meditation meetings where I meet with a group of people and we meditate together and discuss our week or anything that we find pertinent. It’s provided me a social outlet as well as supporting my meditation practice. The founder of Heartmind, Dr. Fleet Maull, has developed a kind of meditation called Neuro Somatic Mindfulness, which has proven to be incredibly helpful. As a frequent meditator for the last 20 years, this just hits different. While other practices may have you do a quick body scan, this type of meditation takes you incredibly deep into feeling your own body. It really has been an anchor for me as I navigate life with my “new” brain and helps reinforce that while my experience of the world and my own body may be different now, but it doesn't mean I'm in danger anymore.

In addition to weekly meetups, I also attend monthly coaching calls. Waking up from brain damage leaves me with a lot of unique challenges. Attending this meeting gives me the opportunity to interact with Fleet and ask questions as I become reacquainted with myself. Understanding my subconscious parts, such as belief systems, or even understanding my feelings and the interplay between the two, has been invaluable.

Rewiring to Break Free from Self-Limiting Behaviors World Summit from the Heartmind Institute: Throughout the week, I've been attending this free summit, and I've learned so much about becoming readjusted to life. I think everyone has some sort of self-limiting behaviors, and I am no exception. Understanding this part of my healing process is essential for me to move on to the next stage of my life. This summit is helping me identify my own behaviors and provides the tools to change them. You can access the summit here: https://www.rewiringselflimitingbehaviors.com/

Moldy Water Distiller: Consider this a public service announcement: the tools you use to decrease your toxic load are not immune to toxins themselves. I had a gross yet relieving experience this week. About a year ago, I bought a water distiller to ensure I had clean water to decrease my toxic load. I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms that I've been ignoring: GI issues, swollen sinuses, joint pain, cognitive and memory issues, fatigue, insomnia, visual disturbances, rumination, and intrusive thoughts. Earlier this week, I noticed that my distilled water tasted and smelled off (a bit sweet, yet disgusting), and couldn't bring myself to drink it. I had just cleaned the distiller, so I knew it wasn't that and decided to go take a look. I was appalled at what I saw: black mold was growing all over the inside of the top assembly. I was reexposed again, this being my fifth time, and who knows for how long. So, if you have a water distiller, make sure to not only clean the interior, but also the inside assembly.
