Is there any specific meditation that can help us reconnect with unresolved emotions?
Does this make sense or align with what Andrew discussed about erasing fear and trauma and the process required to do that? Can you explain to me the similarities and why meditation seems to work, even though people aren't actually retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are watching it and trying to keep their body calm to not engage with it physiologically.
Have there been stories of people who erased trauma through meditation by calming their bodies using breathwork every time a fear, trauma, or distressing thought appeared, as discussed in the episode 'Lessons from Stoicism and The Military | Nancy Sherman | The Knowledge Project 126' and the clip 'Emotions and Reflection'? Did those individuals dissociate from those feelings, not seeing the fear, trauma, or distressing thought as truth but rather as trauma or stories? Did they then repeat another story to themselves, the one they chose to believe, over and over? Did they keep doing the process of observing the fear and trauma, calming their bodies, and reminding themselves of what they actually wanted to believe in?
