Do we think medication is enough? Absolutely not unfortunately. Medication when combined with something like contemplative practice, yoga, qigong or Walking Meditation for personality disorders for that matter we must understand that although science has come a long way it is up to us to show up for ourselves and finish the race. So many people love sitting for years in a personality or mood disorder diagnosis and using it to become emotionally unregulated and physically apathetic while others with the same diagnosis and disorders use their situations to thrive and create wonderful lives of meaning for themselves.
Meditation training used at any depression clinic or retreat may help individuals with BPD be more effective in applying healthy coping skills in the midst of emotional pain. The same applies to Bipolar disorder. It applies directly to PTSD and trauma. Depression of 20 years can be changed in days and then more and more over just 6-8 weeks. It is just incredible and our team at the center for healing and life transformation are at the forefront of this science. Meditation and mindfulness skills allow you to get just a little bit of space to be able to notice the emotion and be more strategic in terms of how you will act in the face of the emotion.
So when people are depressed or bipolar or anxiety or fear or trauma or PTSD it is stress and they cannot break the loop. I tell you we found the key to break the loop. That’s where I am right now with the science. And now this needs to be implemented for those in need.

At first, after just a few meditation sessions we record data that includes small changes. People begin to walk faster and with a definite shift in their sense of purpose. We record longer strides and so have others at PTSD clinics and other centres accross the globe. People even can get taller as their backs straighten out and they begin to enjoy the magic of mindful, meditative movement. In some instances people who have not done any real forms of sporting activity end up playing tennis, football and other sports in short periods of time. The results of the practise where definitely not what we expected to see in people, especially in such short period of time. The effect on mood is no less shocking to us.
The Meditation Miracle
With mindfulness meditation practice, you may be able to notice the emotions you are having and you may be able to step back and chose your behavior in an appropriate way, such as taking a break until you can discuss things quietly. So impulse control is directly affected as well as mood. Emotional elevation in our 3D meditations seems to work best and the calm and bliss people start to feel is palpable.
What if the secret to overcoming anything that holds you back is letting go of it entirely rather than fighting through it with all the willpower you have? Learn the formula to something life changing that is way bigger than you is always going to be interesting. Secrets learned at our Centre for Healing show that people from all over the world with all kinds of physical, emotional and psychological issues are healing themselves faster than ever before. Data taken from the last 12 years shows that about 68% of people heal depression and stress related issues faster with mindful meditative practice and tend to stay healed for longer periods of time.
As we do the work of Demystifying Healing Meditations like the ones we use in our intensive healing programs and retreats, we have found something that we all have in common. Over years we become addicted to our emotions. This means that if we become depressed we unknowingly need our daily dose of those chemicals that we are familiar with to keep the story of our stress going. We can turn our stress response on with our thoughts alone. Where focus goes, energy flows and that applies right across the psychological spectrum.
The purpose of meditation is to slow down your brain waves and get beyond the thinking, analytical mind. When you get into the space of intense relaxation and focus at the same time then you have opened the doorway between the conscious and subconscious mind. Once you get beyond beta brain waves you move to the first layer of the subconscious is the alpha brain state. In alpha states, your breathing naturally slows down, the voice in your head quiets, and the more you continue to relax, the more you begin sliding down the ladder of consciousness into the theta and delta states and even gamma states over time.
When you touch on something divine with all aspects of the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual self then you open up to new possibilities. You move away from emotional addictions that run deep into your stress hormones. You increase the amount of energy in your brain on purpose, you create something elevated and new.
The journey begins when you start to show up for yourself, when you move beyond fear. We try and create a new reality with our existing personality and wonder why we become disappointed.
Walking Meditation for personality disorders
When doing walking meditation for personality disorders or for depression and anxiety relief we don’t take it lightly. We take it as seriously as we would any diagnosis, any new medication or script from a doctor. We understand that you cannot put a price tag on the quality if a human life.
Though it is called a walking meditation, that doesn’t mean we’re walking around in a trans from A to B. Instead, we are mindfully walking using a powerful meditative technique, with eyes wide open, moving at a pace that suits us, and our objectives. Sometimes we want to generate new energy and sometimes we want to shift it or change its vibration. All these things become possible when doing walking meditations starts to click in and to confirm it is all the new scientific data is released almost weekly today with new findings about the power of walking meditations.
People have healed body conditions, eye conditions and even heart conditions. People have reported every kind of unusual benefit from getting out of wheel chairs to walk, to gaining better vision, to healing their arthritis and even healing from a stroke much faster. Most meditation practices involve focusing on a particular object — your breath, a mantra, a visualization, a physical object, even physical sensations within your body — and returning to that object whenever you get distracted or notice your mind starting to wander. Walking meditations like ours get you to do all of these things at once. That’s why we say they are meditations in three dimensional reality.
It is common for people to first do a sitting meditation in a private space and then go for a walk immediately afterward — with the dog, a partner, or alone — to take that meditative state with them, which is a great way to integrate mindfulness into any walk. What we rather suggest is that you plan the time, the medium you will use and then go for it. Use the time well and if it is healing or just relaxation you’re after go after that specifically, says Mark L Lockwood, founder of the CQ walking meditation technique. Thich Nhat Hanh also said that when your foot hits the ground imagine its imprint on the ground. These ‘happy and peaceful steps’ as he said allow us to connect to others and the world. Be specific about what you want to achieve. We don’t just meditate with these kinds of meditations we go after. a very specific goal – healing, freedom from fear or whatever it may be.
Essentially, Walking Meditation for personality disorders and just about everything else becomes a tool to familiarize ourselves with the present moment, and we do this by redirecting the mind. Instead of our object of focus being the breath, as we do with a sitting meditation, our focus becomes the rhythm of our gait. It becomes what we see, hear and feel. All of this in turn becomes us. In this way we actually cause effect. We are changed in the moment and it is magical.
