These are some of the more commonly noticed beneficial changes that one can realistically expect from relatively medium-term period (6-9 months) of continuous & committed practice:
- Drastically reduced mental chatter, making it easier to apply focus and concentrate with less effort
- Reduced constriction or energy blocks in the body
- Greater ability to self-regulate our nervous systems in a healthy manner by minimising the need to depend on external substances or activities
- Less indulgence in unhealthy substances, activities, or behaviors
- Certain emotional triggers disappear, some persist but the stories are quieter and emotional charge is usually much less than before. Pain from certain memories are dissolved or far muted and don’t overwhelm or numb us as much as they used to
- Greater awareness of the present moment and thus greater sense of flow experienced in regular day-day activities
- Being more comfortable in one’s own skin and showing up more authentically with others
- More harmonious relating with people who’re closely connected to us
- Improved tolerance to stress in general and quicker
- Greater sense of trauma-proofing and resiliency: because this work involves learning to systematically and skillfully clearing the imprints of trauma, we become more confident in engaging with life head-on
- Easier to make healthful behavioural choices stick as aspects connected to self-sabotage begin to be transformed
- Increased sense of compassion and acceptance of ourselves and others
- Less reliance on the thinking mind alone and greater access to our intuition to assist in decision making
- Potentially reduced intensity in chronic pain symptoms since the beliefs, judgements and fears around the symptoms are slowly put to rest.
