Homeless in a motel in a VERY depressing high crime small city.Extremely depressed,humbly requesting any loving energy,prayers sent my way.Thank you!!! I've never felt so alone & stuck!!!!! Love to all of you reading this.😌🙏🥰☮️❤

You’ve saved my life, you’ve given me faith again. I can let go of this pain. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart x

After almost 40 years of trying to 'get rid' of childhood trauma you are the first person to ever say that cutting it out like amputation isn't healing. I have wanted it gone rather than carried with me in a better way. There's a lot more to it of course and to me, but whilst I lay on my kitchen floor the idea of getting up eluding me, I listened to you... I go up. Thank you

I am a retired academic doctor. I liked what I did & did what I enjoyed: helping people from different lands and all walks of life, poor to multimillionaire. All patients, all treated with dignity. PTSD has hit me hard on six levels. Thank you for taking me on the journey of Love & Compassion for self & family members who abused me in adulthood. I am beginning today, as at 86 you, I am worthy to find & restore myself to me. Best Wishes.

Just over an hour ago, my PTSD was triggered. My thoughts ran wild, anxiety sky high, fear, not knowing what to do to make it stop. Then I thought, I’ll meditate. I found this. And I can’t believe how calm and serene I’m feeling now. Thank you 🙏

The narrator has the voice of an Angel. I found this to be immediately soothing for my mind & soul. Thank you.

Meditation is extremely helpful for decreasing symptoms of PTSD.

I had a series of very traumatic incidents in my life that I have struggled to move on from. I see a therapist for professional help but this meditation is so powerful. I feel like I am getting to my core to release the pain and trauma stored in my body that is holding me back. You are a true light worker and I hope I can use my experiences to help others in the future x God bless x Namaste x

This made me laugh and cry, when he started to say "it's okay forgive others" I remember thinking 'but I'm not sure I can forgive myself' I remembered school, sitting in community meeting and people joking about how I was the most hated person in class. I was unfazed back then, indifferent of the hurt that was being caused subconsciously. I suddenly had a flash back and realized that I was unworthy, then the meditation said "but most importantly forgive yourself". It hit me like a ton of bricks, I felt pin pricks all over my body and cried. It was really healthy, I had no idea how much I've been holding onto.

I have listened to this meditation so many times in the past to sleep. This was the first time I apologise to my organs and my body for not respecting them enough and taking care of them enough. I had an eating disorder growing up and I had one attempt five years ago. This is the first time I forgive and apologise to my body for doing so. Thankfully, I am in a much better place, now.

I was having a breakdown and was triggered by something that caused my PTSD, and thought my life was pointless, and had a lot of negative emotions towards some of the decisions I've made in my life that have led up to where I am today. This mediation guide was very empowering, and touched my soul. Although some of my energy seemed to be drained, I still believe it was a beneficial experience and I appreciate you allowing this to be free to hear for anyone who may need it in the moment. 30 minutes ago I was crying, and self loathing, in the present I am calm, and very much at peace with the issue that had triggered me. Thank you so much.

Much love to everybody in these comments. You are worth more than you know. Xxx

This meditation is amazing. Thank you. Like some of the other commenters said, the part where you focus on self-forgiveness is incredibly powerful. This meditation speaks to aspects of PTSD that might not make sense to people who haven't experienced it. There's so much self-directed punishment and hatred at times...and that, coupled with the immense shame and the anger, can lead to a string of poor choices and impulsive actions that we can barely (if at all) explain to ourselves...much less to anyone else--particularly if these choices hurt our loved ones or our professional relationships along the way. This unintended legacy of failures only fuels the self-punishment/self-hatred to loop and repeat and re-emerge to do more damage to ourselves and those who've tried to support us. Just trying to "get rid of" the damage as if we could "amputate" it will only hobble ourselves. True healing is something else entirely, and this meditation will be a regular part of my approach. Many Thanks.

I have PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and physiological problems associated with my traumas. Thank you for your videos. I have found this one for PTSD & the one for Panic Attacks to be the two I turn to most often. Just awoke in the middle of the night feeling horribly shaky & panicked, so started to listen to this and it helps me almost immediately. It doesn’t go away entirely right away, but I feel like someone is there with me, reassuring me, while I remind myself that it will eventually subside. Thank you so much.

Thank you for being gentle with those of us who arent ready to forgive the ones who hurt us. ❤️

I have ptsd and severe anxiety and depression. This helped me in every way possible, I feel like I released so much anger and hurt to God. Ty.

Hi Jason, This is a really positive and comforting video. I suffer from an anxiety disorder called conversion disorder. It is caused by traumatic events in the past. It's been a big help with my bad memories and scary flashbacks. People were mean to me in the past because they did not understand my anxiety. When I got to the part where you said to love and forgive yourself I cried with tears of relief. That made me realize that what happened in the past was never my fault. And I survived and came out OK. I have a really great support team with my therapists, friends and family. But I am so glad I reached out to you. Thank you so much for all your help and support. All the Best, Alexis.

I cried throughout the whole meditation, thank you so much

Hi Jason - I so appreciate this meditation. I just learned that my partner of 23 years has been having affairs for over 5 years. This has been an experience I have no words to describe the pain and physical trauma it has caused. I found this meditation and it is truly a life saver. Thank you. Is this for sale as I am traveling and want to have it on my Ipad as I go complete this meditation at least twice daily. thank you . MA

I lived an abusive childhood and grew to marry into an abusive relationship. 25 years later and I'm starting to have things that trigger horrible episodes of panic! Tonight I found this video when I needed it the most! This is now my lifeline! You have no idea what a true gift this and so many of your other videos have been to me. Thank you and may great blessings come your way! Thanks for doing what you do!

Reminds me of my life saver Jesus. Since I study the bible Im totally free. Awesome. Forgiveness is the most important thing and the love by his own ❤👍

thank you so much for this video. I let me forgive myself for my traumas. I never even realized until you said to forgive yourself before you can forgive others. and it just hit me that for over 10 years, I let myself think it was my fault. and I finally understand this anger I've had all these years. I know it is just the tip of the iceberg but I have let go of something that has haunted me for more than a decade. Thank you you have no idea the weight that has started to lift. thank you

Okay. Thank you for this. It was a very deep journey for me. I cried. I have been crying a lot lately. I guess that's okay. I forgive myself for what I've done. I forgive those who hurt me. I forgive myself for how I reacted and survived. I survived. I am a resplendent being as we all are. Thank you Jason.

OMG this is the freaking best mediation I have ever experienced in my life. It gave me the answer in which I have seeking for over 15 years and I literally feel a healing in my body. OMG, thank you so much, God bless you for helping me solve this. I thought I would never get help. I am loved.

you had me crying before it really began. thank you. I needed these words.

Thank you Mr Stephenson, for this beautiful meditation,And for helping people to get relief.I wish there was more people like you in the world.I tell you, the hand of Jesus in on you, and Jesus will bless YOU, for helping others,And he will bless everyone who hears this amazingly effective 'Mental healing' meditation.God bless you.

This video helped me so much I started crying as soon as he said I can be helped and that I was safe.

The healing I felt was so natural. Its as if my mind had trained my body to anticipate negative experience by staying tense and never letting go. Hearing those words as simple as they are was so sincere and fufillling in my personal pain. Much love.

This is the best so far for ptsd - and for almost any age group - very deeply healing.

I too have a similar tale to tell about repeated traumas in my life. I notice some similarities to most of these comments. My heart goes out to those who are in pain. Those who suffer and feel they have been traumatized, as well as those who are the perpetrators of trauma. I wonder why humans react like they do and especially wonder why there is so little sympathy for those who suffer from maladies that are perceived to be willful rather than symptoms of a disease. Instead victims of trauma must also bear the burden of social stigmata, shame humiliation and blame. I feel more connected to the cosmos than I do here on earth. My spirit longs for release. Love is and should NOT be conditional. Thank you for your hypnosis series here on utube. So many people are so troubled and they often fall target to people who would take advantage of their vulnerability. When I connect with those who suffer, rather than weakness I see people who are sensitive, caring, artistic and profoundly beautiful. Robin Williams once said we should be kind to people because we don’t know what they’ve been through. No truer words have been spoken.

Hello Jason and others of this community... I wanted to thank you so much for guiding me trough my way of life right now... This meditation only has given me peace. First time I was hearing this, I was crying... Now when I feel pain or Im having flashbacks Im always coming back to this point of this PTSD meditation. Together with my regular therapy Im slowly regressing in my PTSD treatment. Im listening to a lot of your meditations and Im a part of the live community when you do your live meditation on monday morning. For me, sunday evening. So your efforts and energy has given me a lot. The community too. There are so many kind people in this world. Im more aware of it now. Thank you. Namaste. Jolan

Thank you so much Jason...as a PTSD sufferer this helps me so much...I listen to it even in the background while I am doing my work...This helps very much ..Hugs

Thank you Jason. Love your voice, so calming. This was very helpful. I surprised myself as tears just poured out during the "Forgiveness" part. I'm known for being such a positive, happy, inspiring person. I do choose to focus on all that I'm grateful for and love, in my own life, in the life of others and the world. I direct my mind most of the day in chosen thoughts of gratitude. I stay positive for the things I hope for, that have been and that are now. But in truth, even though my life is so much better than so many in the world, I'm so angry how it's turned out. I know I have so much to be grateful for and I AM!! But it is NOT what I dream of, it is NOT what I feel and see inside. That in spite of my immense efforts - physically, spiritually - gratitude prayer, nutritionally, in terms of conscious listening/communication, service, relations, etc, so little is the result. I've had extreme exhaustion for decades. Most don't know. The few who do, were so surprised..."I'd never know if you didn't tell me". I never show it or complain. It has stopped me periodically, but I refuse, I live as well as I can feeling crushingly exhausted most of the time. Have studied endless videos on nutrition/how to overcome CF and keep updating and improving on that score. I have and do live such a clean life, I could be a monk LOL. This is the MOST hurtful to be so exhausted all the time. I feel so angry about it. And the dream that I most of all have and continue to develop in spite of this constant exhaustion, stays out of reach. This meditation helped me release a lot of that pain that I just try to be positive thru. I tell myself the truth, I say to myself for small periods, I feel really angry about XXX, or I feel so hurt by XXX and say: I welcome this feeling, I honor it, I hear you, I have compassion for you, You don't need to go away, or be quiet, you are welcomed, honored, and heard....but the underlying frustration....this mediation is a great help in releasing it........thank you.....I need to release this upset thru tears...not just thoughts/words.....will benefit from this regularly.....THANK U!!!

This meditation has helped me so much. It helps me every time to scrape away little bits of suffering, every time I feel lighter and have strength again! Thank you very much

Wow, I've been working on releasing the past that has caused my PTSD but this has helped so much there really isn't words for it. I will say it has helped me see how much I blamed myself for something I had no control over. I work with others and will be of service to them as you have been for me. Thank You.

Thank you for reminding me of the good I still have within me.

Thank you for your free videos, they are helping me recover and heal my PTSD along with my therapist. I can't tell you how much you have helped me, there are no words but thank you.

Forgiveness..to myself.. Thank you for reminding me about that.

I was in a serious car accident on the highway over a week ago. A bear ran in front of my car, there was nothing I could do, we collided. The bear ran into the woods injured, my car was written off as a total loss. My physical injuries are minor but my emotional ones have been difficult to address and heal. I had spent many days and nights crying and feeling hopeless and alone. This meditation is the first time that I have felt CALM in the past 9 days. Thank you for your help Jason; your generosity in providing this and other guided meditations free on youtube shows your big heart and willingness to help others in this world. I plan to listen to your anxiety and stress meditation later today or tomorrow. Are there other videos you have made that you think would particularly be helpful to me situation? I appreciate your selflessness and help. Hugs from an internet stranger.

I can't get over the domestic abuse I've suffered from the age 16-24 all by two different men. Or wastes. I'm a single mother now. It's hard to stay strong and PTSD is something that I conquer everyday. It's not easy... but I won't give up... ☸️

I love your meditations Jason. I've listened to heaps of others and even made my own but for me your voice, choice of words and sensitivity is the best yet for healing. Where you are coming from, emotionally and spiritually, is incredibly fine and I so hope lots of people take advantage of the beautiful vibe you are putting out!

You are truly a healer and this has released so much. Thank you much gratitude. Namaste.

I have ptsd from severe childhood abuse and neglect. Over the past few years Ive had nothing but traumatic flashbacks. I dont remember much of my childhood apart from these traumatic memories and flashbacks. Ive been meditating for only a week now and have had good safe calm flashbacks during meditation. I just want to thank you and others who make videos like this for helping me get back some of my childhood.

Hey, I am 31 years old and I've been going through a lot of things in the past year. Among many things I have realizes that I am suffering from the effect of my absent father and emotionally and physically abusive mother. I have been fighting with unnamed demons all my life. I started my spiritual and mental awakening a while ago after I was on the edge of ending my life. I lost weight and stopped indulging in alcohol. Yet I still have enormous problems in my relationships. Today I started reading about the trauma of being left by a parent and abused by another. My journey will be hard and long. Thank you for making such material, I know I have to seek professional help, but I also need to work from inside. I am grateful for you and hope you find solace in life just as the one you are giving to me and many who are going through my struggle. Warm thanks from my heart ❤️

Took me a few years to realize I had PTSD, this actually helped alot, thanks.

❤️ these meditation videos help me with post traumatic stress and anxiety as I have stopped taking antidepressants

jason.....thank you so much you let out tears that I couldn't release because the pain lives with my daily. you're a savior. peace be with all who suffer any pain.

This was probably the most powerful meditation I listened to for a long, long time... Thank you so much for all of the tears you helped me to let go... It was painful but also freeing... I'm not done with this yet but something began... Thank you. Namaste...

I cried the second I heard your voice. Started to release instantly. thank you.❤

You helped me so much, I have been listening to you for months and you helped find peace. Thank you.

Thank you for this Jason it is God speaking through your words to this world in desperate need of healing.❤️

Thank You so Much! This mediation is helping many of us right now and ongoing! Outstanding!

Thank you, Jason. Your gentle, kind, loving voice has eased my broken heart today.

Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. For such a long time I felt like locked up inside, not able to feel my true self dearly. Not able to feel my grieve about an physical and emotional abusive relationship I’ve been trough. Not able to letting go my feelings of guilt against my children who suffered so much because I couldn’t leave their father earlier. You, Jason, made me cry. Tears are falling down now that I am writing this. And it feels so good! Finally! Finally I’m starting to setting free my inner feelings and my grief, but also my hope for a wonderful future. This meditation helps me so much, I’m going to listen to it everyday starting to feel this: I’m saved, I’m loved, I’m beautiful.

This was so perfect , I needed this so much ,, actually brought me to tears .

you have no idea how much you help me with this meditation. so helpful. i thank you so much. you deserve the best.

Your voice and music really helps, Mr. Jason. This video is wonderful. Thank You so very much. I wish Peace for all.

this has helped me so much. I got out my cries. I forgive, but the hurt... hurts. So, this is helping me heal.

From my heart to you....THANK you for this meditation

I have ptsd from a traumatic childhood from both parents being drug addicts . I was dropped off at my grandparents when I was 9 and they treated me like shit for years . Mentally and physically abusing me . So the ptsd got worse and I started having severe panic attacks and depression. I am now 23 and am not on any anxiety meds and try to deal with everything naturally . Therapy , meditation, yoga , exercise , eating healthy, essential oils, tea and controlled breathing . These meditations help me sleep . Without these, I would be up all night .

I am suffering from powerful loneliness. Anything for helping that, healing that, I'd be most grateful.

Dear Jason, Thank you so much for your deep-reaching words. They brought forth a flood of tears: first, of pain, gradually, of relief. All over the world, I hope, many hearts are now' lighter and closer to healing. You have helped me so many times, ever since I began to listen to you because of my horrible insomnia and chronic pain. YOU helped me sleep then, and on many nights since. I wish you many blessings and thank you again. Marcelle

This meditation was deeply moving and healing, thank you so much. I feel your kindness through your words. I needed to hear a lot of the affirmations. I wish you and all those watching peace and healing. 🙏

I have ptsd from childhood sexual abuse from multiple offenders and watching my best friend murdered when I was 18. This meditation has helped me greatly in releasing some of these old hurts and I am so grateful for your channel Jason. Remember people you are not alone and there are many of us who will help you and lots of resources. God bless.

Thank you so much Jason, it helped me ease the childhood traumas that manifests in physical form. With your help, I know I can heal. More blessings to you and your efforts. Namaste

Jason, I would really like to thank you immensely as you have compiled some very positive and powerful messages and delivered them beautifully. You are clearly a doctor for the mind and have given me skills to deal with life in a much better way. You have truly given me the gift of being able to calm the storm within and feel really good! Thank you

I have suffered severe trauma in my life - from a young age, and suffered severe panic attacks and emotional damages, and this guided mediation explains how to get through the pain and repressed memories - he explains it in a very helpful process way - plus the beautiful music and love and compassion, forgiveness are all tools, and the weaving part, and I will listen to this over again....and again. Thanks Jason Stephenson.

so healing. thank you.

That was the best guided meditation I have ever experienced. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and making them available for free. You have such a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it.

This is one of the most beautiful meditations I have ever listened to! As a psychologist, as well as someone who is also striving toward my own personal healing and growth, I have listened to a lot of meditations and I am always looking for new ones to recommend to my patients. This one is so fabulous. Do you have a written transcript that I could also share?

This is an awesome piece of work, Jason! I can see anyone benefiting from this. Thank you for giving! Willingly give and graciously receive. : )

Thanks Jason I just started therapy for ptsd because I was attached by a dog, you are so comforting and said important words to calm down 🕉

This is a very powerful meditation. Your voice is very calming, and I love that this is a bit longer meditation which gives the time to really get into the relaxation.

This meditation has helped me enormously deal with a lifetime of trauma. Thank you so much! I highly recommend to anybody who needs to deal with trauma in their lives.

Jason: thank you for this amazing message of hope and recovery for myself and others who has harbored grief and sadness after a series of unfortunate events of trauma. Currently, I am using meditation and EMDR work to shift old attitudes and beliefs that no longer serve a purpose in my life. The Sage; the gift of experience and age is a positive image of how to see oneself after the unfortunate events have left scars on the soul. Thanks again. More suggestions? I like these guided meditations.

Many things have been going on in my life for the past few years, one of it being held up by gunpoint and tied up with a friend. I've have been for professional help including medication without success. I can already feel a difference and will continue my journey with your audios. Thank you so much!

Powerful... Thank you for sharing this healing meditation. It allowed me to release a lot of emotions.

Deep gratitude and my love for this beautiful meditation...may all beings be blessed with complete healing and never be broken again..xxx

🙏🏻 Thank you Jason 🌟 I am in my 60's and suffered from PTSD since childhood. I have never felt safe and secure. I was in survival mode most of my childhood in fight or flight mode. Mostly flight and the constant adrenalin caused essential hypertension. I wake still from nightmares and anxiety attacks. I have visited many therapists over the years with not much success. I will listen to your anxiety meditation now. I found this meditation helpful Bless you Jason 💜

I searched for 45 minutes for something to fall asleep to and I am so happy I found this video. I wasn’t expecting to cry so deeply for 38 minutes. I have never heard those words, said those words to myself, nor felt even a fraction of love in 32 years. I am totally alone in life right now, I always have been, not a single friend, not a single family member that cares if I’m even breathing. It’s so weird but during this video, I kept thinking of how my mom never went to my wedding or the hospital when any of my 3 kids were born. I don’t know why, but I learned listening to this video that it kills me to this day. But wow, nope I’m sorry for the rambling, this was so touching. It was so beautifully done. I’m just praying for all of us ❤

After two years of seeking help and hitting a wall I finally heard the words I was longing to hear, felt understood and safe and could be the one that is taken care of no otherwise. Thank you so much!

I was in a severe car accident about 3 months ago that very nearly took the lives of my husband and I. We are extremely lucky to be alive but I have been suffering from PTSD ever since, having anxiety attacks on almost a daily basis. I needed this video, thank you so much for publishing this. You're helping so many people

I loved this! came away from it brighter, more confident and forgiving towards myself and others. amazing.

i really never thought much of meditation yet i feel the power now of these which prompts my subconcious to gently speak and let go..thank you.

Jason, this was it. The root of my entire life. I don't love myself. Nor forgive myself. cried and cried. Maybe a Meditation on LEARNING HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF would help me & 1,000 of others was my idea to share. But PTSD/Massive anxiety is my problem. Thank you for helping me not feel alone but truly discovering my issue. Much Much love.

Yesterday I had a bad ptsd flashback in the bathroom and it ruined my day/night.I found this by chance and what you said about “forgiving yourself”really helped.Thank you.

Thanks Jason, you are helping me so much. I am struggling to break free from the effects of narcissistic bullying. The past three years have been hell and I blame myself for not realizing that I was in danger sooner. Your message and your gentle delivery are helping me to understand that it was not my fault. I have a long way to go still but will get there by listening to your meditations. Namaste 🙏

You are a great spiritual chiropractor! Much love gratitude and peace your way Thank you a million 💞

without YOU no ME! thank you Jason!

Today I took the first step out of isolation . Namaste

One of the best ones I’ve found to help my anxiety trauma settle before going to sleep, thank you ❤️

Thank you for being you.. thank you for helping all that comes your way... You are a wonderful person...

Excellent work!!! I'm a psychotherapist myself and really appreciate the overall quality and effectiveness of this guided meditation. I tried it yesterday and was really moved... Thank you !!!

i struggle with PTSD and this is helping me a little bit,even if it is bringing back some flashbacks ,i can barely get through school without having some,being in class all the time ,not knowing when someones going to tap you on the shoulder or something.so thankn you.

This is really excellent and ethical. only wish it was longer.

Beautiful. Peaceful, gentle and your voice is so soothing, blessings x

This is Incredible. I have shared this with four friends

Thank you more then you'll ever know for this. My son's birth was extremely traumatic and I suffer from PTSD over it. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my second child and I'm trying to work through my son's birth and the fears I have inside. Forgiving myself and not feeling like I failed has been a huge struggle, but I know I'm on the right path. I didn't even realize until tonight that some of my anger and fear are from feeling like I failed. I didn't. I didn't fail, I fought for my son and I, and we made it. Thank you.

Thank you Jason - this is a beautiful meditation - I will be adding it to my favorites. Some pain is so encompassing - and some times it appears we are all alone. I loved the visualization of the tapestry of our story and how we can weave these experiences into our lives and share with others. I will be listening to this one many times - it has so much so give -:).
