I’m Free – Veteran Bundle

A Collection of Meditations To Help You Relax – Sleep – Be Calm

I'm Free Veteran Bundle CDs by Genevieve Gerard

You have survived the ravages of war and lived through unspeakable tension, strain, and horror to return to your loved ones and the life you left behind.

You may have noticed that things are different from the way you remember them to be. You may have noticed that you are different from the way you remember yourself to be.

Too successfully return to civilian life, your life, there are some things that would be helpful for you to understand. By understanding these things and having the tools to transition from the stress of your war experience back into the civilian life you can make a successful transition home.

To help you continue to make a successful transition I have created a series of guided meditations with techniques and tools that can help. The first bundle is made up of three CDs from my new “I’m Free” series – (see special gift offer below.) If you use them to resolve and come through the normal residuals of your wartime experience, you can transition back into the experience of being home and leave the experience of war where it belongs, behind you.

Perhaps the first thing you need to understand about the transition to home is that you have been through an experience that required you to have and to hone skills that may have saved your life and the lives of your buddies many times, but applying those same skills to your family life and your daily life can create challenges for you and those you love.

In wartime, you had to be super vigilant. The slightest sound may have signaled a need to bring you to full awareness, full alert, on guard and ready. That was true as you slept and as you were awake. This state of readiness was appropriate to war. This same state of readiness can result in sleepless nights that wear away your patience. You had to sleep on that edge in the war. You now need to relearn a pathway to sleep that turns down that energy to let you have peaceful sleep.

I'm Free To Relax CD Cover

Just as you trained your consciousness to be ever alert, now you need to train your consciousness to relax and be refreshed by a peaceful, secure sleep. That is why the first guided meditation in this bundle I’m Free To Relax is to help you release and leave behind the stress of war.

According to a 2011 Mayo Clinic article relaxation isn’t just about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. Relaxation is a process that decreases the effects of stress on your mind and body. Relaxation techniques can help you cope with everyday stress and with stress related to various health problems.

Whether your stress is spiraling out of control or you’ve already got it tamed, you can benefit from learning relaxation techniques.

 

Learning relaxation techniques is easy and can reduce stress symptoms by:

  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Reducing muscle tension and chronic pain
  • Improving concentration
  • Reducing anger and frustration
  • Boosting confidence to handle problems

Certainly, the constant stress of the strain of war can leave a myriad of little pains that do not serve you. You can release these pains now. You can leave them behind. They will be healed. This meditation can help you do that a little at a time, releasing and letting go of what you no longer need of the pains of war as you transition back into peace and family life.

As you once trained your full being for war, you can now train your full being for everyday peace of mind. Moreover, although this may not seem necessary or important, letting go of the little tensions and anxiety that a car parking in a strange place or stopping next to you can engender is a part of making that transition. The physiological response to the unusual, that is different, is part of what helped you survive in war. Those same physiological edges to alertness can if not turned back, leave you always in a state of hyper-awareness and hypervigilance that makes you edgy and impatient with those you love.

They have not been through what you have experienced. They do not understand and hopefully will never have to understand. You do not need to continue to carry that edge with you. This first guided meditation in the series I’m Free To Relax will help you take that adrenaline edge off and begin to react to the stimulus of normal civilian life without the warrior’s edge.

The second meditation in the series is I’m Free To Sleep. This will help you learn to sleep again in a way that is appropriate to peacetime and family life.

 

Be assured that if you ever need the skills of ready response you learned in war, they will be available to you. You do not have to have them turned on all the time.

 

 

 

I'm Feeling Free CD Cover

The third guided meditation in the series, I’m Feeling Free, is to help you release the emotions engendered by being in a situation where you had to see unspeakable things and maybe do unspeakable things. These things can be a part of war. They may have been necessary and appropriate to the situation you were in. They were created in the past and can stay in the past. They have no place in the now.

You need to let yourself move that energy out of your body, out of your being, out of your consciousness. You need to now put it behind you, transform it, transmute it and release it.

We know from the science of physics we cannot destroy energy but we can change its form. This meditation is about transforming the emotions we are carrying from our past and letting them change into that which is positive and of service to others. It may not make sense that just focusing our mind and our attention on our emotions can change their form, but it works. It has been proven that energy follows thought. It is powerful and helps you release what was past to let you return to now so that you can enjoy and appreciate your life without carrying the war with you.

I have worked with Genevieve Gerard for over thirty years in transformational, healing, meditation groups and on many projects. She is eminently qualified having worked for many years with trauma victims. Genevieve created these products out of love to help those who suffer trauma, including me. Her guidance works.

These well worded guided meditations may seem to be simple solutions to complex problems, but by using them regularly with an open heart and an open mind you will find that your energy gradually balances and the dynamic guardedness you have carried, that saved you in wartime but can now slay you in peacetime, is able to readjust to your current circumstances and begin to re-bridge the distance that seemed to exist between you and those you left behind.

These proven meditations only take 15 to 20 minutes each. They are guided so that you only need to follow along in your mind. Most people who have used the Sleep meditation say that they are asleep before the meditation is over (and that is perfectly ok.) What is great is there are no pharmaceutical side effects to these meditations. You can use them as often as you want and as often as you need them. Using them will help you shift your awareness to who you are beyond the experiences you have been through. They will help you regain and restore yourself, to your self.

A note from the creator of these meditations:

I wrote these meditations after having studied meditation for over 45 years. For over 35 years as a counselor, I have used guided meditation both in my own life and in helping others who have been through severe injury and pain. I have brought these meditation techniques to you to help with your transition back into your life. You have given enough, you have sacrificed enough. It is time to leave the war behind you and come to the world you sacrificed to serve for, able to fully participate in your life and receive all the love and joy that life can now offer to you. This series was created especially for you, for that purpose.

I recommend using I’m Feeling Free at least once a day or more times when emotional responses are troublesome. I’m Free to Relax can be used whenever the world is too much and you find yourself stressed out. I’m Free To Sleep is best used upon retiring for the night.

In gratitude,

Genevieve Gerard

 

P.S. These techniques can be done quickly and silently at any time without anyone knowing and repetition enhances the effectiveness. Anyone can master these techniques; it’s as simple as breathing and only takes minutes to put into practice.

Cutting Edge Techniques For
Releasing Stress

 

 

HOW YOU CAN REDUCE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE

Through my counseling and coaching work, I have seen the devastation on health and wellbeing that stress has created in people’s lives. 

Everyone can agree that our lives can be very stressful; stress can have a variety of causes such as job challenges, family problems, financial difficulties, poor health, false expectations or even the death of someone close to you.  Because of this, the accumulation of stress can create illness and dis-ease. 

During my years of biofeedback practice and teaching pain management techniques I have seen that releasing and relieving stress is possible through the transformative power of the mind-body-spirit relationship.

As you listen to this Relax and Release visualization you will be guided to experience a deep relaxation process that allows your mind and your body to relax in a way that releases the stress of your day. As you experience this deep relaxation you will discover that your mind is freed to see new solutions to problems and you will experience an increase in effectiveness, productivity, and creativity.

Relax and Release delivers to you the benefit of my decades of experience applying my mastery of the mind-body relationship to teach thousands of individuals the secret to release stress and achieve deep relaxation, even in the middle of an intense work day. These proven techniques guide you to reduce irritability, improve memory and concentration, lower blood pressure, reduce the pain and frequency of headaches, and give you a greater sense of well-being.

 

WHY AM I STRESSED OUT?

Quotes about Stress in the 1980’s:

  • Time magazine cover article called stress “The Epidemic of the Eighties” and referred to it as our leading health problem
  • A 1983 Prevention magazine survey found that only 55% feel they have “great stress” one day a week.
  • In the same survey in 1996 almost 75% said they felt under great stress on a weekly basis with one out of three indicating they feel this way more than twice a week.

According to the 1990’s NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health report:

  • 40% of workers reported their job was very or extremely stressful;
  • Three fourths of employees believe that workers have more on-the-job stress than a generation ago;
  • 26% of workers said they were “often or very often burned out or stressed by their work”;

More recently, quotes about stress in the 2000 annual “Attitudes In The American Workplace VI” Gallup Poll sponsored by the Marlin Company found that:

  • 80% of workers feel stress on the job, nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress and 42% say their coworkers need such help;

A subsequent 2000 Integra Survey similarly reported that:

  • 62% routinely find that they end the day with work-related neck pain, 44% reported stressed-out eyes, 38% complained of hurting hands and 34% reported difficulty in sleeping because they were too stressed-out;

These findings are supported by other studies that put their significance in perspective.

  • 75-90% of visits to Primary Care doctors are due to stress
  • 1/3 of women and 1/4 of men take no vacation each year

 

Effects of stress …
… On your body … On your mood … On your behavior
  • Headache
  • Muscle tension or pain
  • Chest pain
  • Fatigue
  • Change in sex drive
  • Stomach upset
  • Sleep problems
  • Anxiety
  • Restlessness
  • Lack of motivation or focus
  • Irritability or anger
  • Sadness or depression
  • Overeating or undereating
  • Angry outbursts
  • Drug or alcohol abuse
  • Tobacco use
  • Social withdrawal

Source: American Psychological Association’s “Stress in America” report, 2010

Long-term stress can increase the risk of diseases like depression, heart disease and a variety of other problems. A stress-related illness called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a peak emotional traumatic experience like war, physical or sexual assault, or a natural disaster.

Freedom, Fear and Forgiveness

Reflections on the
15th Anniversary of 9-11

Liberty

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced the attack on Pearl Harbor, a shocked nation listened to his resonant voice on the radio with the words “a day that will live in infamy”.  Americans were horrified that without a formal declaration of war, Japan would attack a US Military base in Hawaii.  As most of us remember from our history class, if not from our own lives, the surprise nature of the attack without the prior declaration of war was a part of the horror.  War had in that event, become different.  The old rules no longer applied.  It marked a change in how the world worked and required an adjustment in the thinking of not just Americans, but the whole world. 

This was also true, on 9-11 as the world watched domestic airplanes filled with peaceful passengers crash into the World Trade Center.  Not only was the sudden assault an act of war, but it was an act of war without a clear opponent in a war.  Victims were not citizens of a country, but symbols of a society against which a group of people, not a government had created a war, with no declaration or even clear purpose that we could understand.

The fact that this event was watched through the day and night courtesy of 24-hour news coverage made this unique in the history of civilization.  An act of war, an act of unspeakable terror was right there with us in our homes.  Where we were and what we were doing when the planes hit the towers and then even more unthinkable when the towers collapsed became a part of our ordinary life.  The terror, the horror, and the fear this engendered affected everyone in the country and indeed most people in the world.  In addition, due to the media, as we relived the experience repeatedly we became a society suffering from Post Traumatic Stress.

That the fear has lingered is not surprising.  That the blame has extended to an entire religious group instead of a group of fanatic individuals is potentially one of the most dangerous aspects of the after effects of 9-11 as it is this factor that most threatens our freedom.  This fear now threatens to destroy what has made America a people unique in the history of civilization.

This threat to our freedom comes not from the outside world but from our response to our own fears.  We must as a people now learn to transcend our fear without offering up our liberty.  We must with vigilance and the distance of the passing years look at the effects that terrorism has had on our life and our society and re-evaluate how much power we wish to give our attackers to destroy our values.

As one of our Founding Father’s Benjamin Franklin once commented, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

If we allow our fear to erode our liberties we have surrendered what is most valued and the terrorists would have won a victory that the Nazis and the Communists failed to win.  See article “Did Osama Win” by Andrew Sullivan in Newsweek September 4, 2011.

Freedom of religion is a key principle upon which our country was founded.  If that principle were reinterpreted to only grant that freedom to popular regions, what it means to be an American and to live in America would be lost.  As High School Civics teachers have taught for generations we must preserve freedom for everyone, because the logical consequence of loss of anyone’s liberty is the loss of everyone’s liberty.

Therefore, as we face this milestone of unspeakable horror it is necessary that we begin to focus our efforts upon releasing the fear that terrorism generates in us.  Releasing Fear and learning to transcend and transmute our fears is one of the most profound, powerful and life changing aspects of transforming our consciousness.

Downloadable on my website is a visualization (called “Feeling Free“) to help you transmute fear and other negative emotions. This crucial time when our fear is being refreshed with all of the media coverage about 9-11 is a perfect time to begin releasing the fear that this event may have engendered.

Finally, to free your country from the residuals of terrorism you must begin a process of healing.  Healing ultimately is enhanced by forgiveness.  We have seen the failure of revenge.  As Mohandas Gandhi once stated,

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

It is time to let the past be in the past.

It is time as a people to put the fears and the horrors of terrorism behind us and as we begin the rebuilding of our lands and lives remember to rebuild our faith and confidence in our world. It is time to renew in our hearts and minds the freedoms that we have worked so hard to achieve. We can conquer our fears, honor our liberties and our values, and learn to forgive.  Yes, even the unforgiveable.

If it were not unforgivable, true forgiveness would not be required.
      — Genevieve Gerard

When my friend Alan Scherr was killed, along with his 13-year-old daughter Naomi, in the Mumbai Massacres at the Oberio Hotel his wife Kia formed an organization to honor the sacredness of life. Her leadership in response to her loss is a powerful force in the world to bring peace and transformation out of sorrow and loss.  For more information on forgiveness visit her site “One Life Alliance” here.

As our thoughts go to the families who have lost loved ones, let us pray for the healing of the families, the healing of our nation and the healing of the world, that today marks the moment when we as a people move forward to greater understanding of those who live life differently from us with the realization that we are more alike than different and we are ultimately one people, in one world.  Peace best serves us all.

Blessings,

Genevieve
