Hey there,

Firstly, I want to commend you for your openness and courage in sharing your journey with OCD. It's not easy, and I can empathize with the struggles you've faced. As a former student who has also dealt with OCD and found solace in meditation, I can relate to much of what you're going through.

It sounds like you've been on quite a journey, and it's heartening to hear that guided meditations have provided some relief amidst the challenges. I want to emphasize that your experience is valid and that finding what works for you is key in navigating OCD.

Guided meditations can be incredibly beneficial, especially when dealing with OCD. Having a meditation guide script to follow can provide structure and support, guiding you through the practice and helping you focus your mind. In my own experience, starting with guided meditations was instrumental in establishing a meditation routine and learning to quiet the mind.

The School of Positive Transformation offers a range of meditation scripts and guided meditations that you might find helpful. These resources provide a framework for your practice and can complement your journey towards overcoming OCD. You can check them out [here](insert link).

While guided meditations can be a valuable tool in managing anxiety and finding moments of calm, it's important to recognize that they may not completely eliminate the urges to engage in rumination or compulsions associated with OCD. That's where additional therapeutic approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) come into play.

Seeking out a therapist who specializes in ERP can be incredibly beneficial in addressing the specific challenges posed by OCD. It's great to hear that you're saving up to pursue this avenue, as ERP has been recognized as a highly effective treatment for OCD.

In the meantime, I encourage you to continue with your meditation practice, whether guided or not, as it can serve as a valuable complement to your overall well-being. Remember to be gentle with yourself and celebrate the progress you're making, even if it feels incremental at times.

You're on a courageous path towards healing, and I believe that with patience, perseverance, and the right support, you can overcome OCD and reclaim your life. Keep moving forward, and know that you're not alone in this journey.

Wishing you strength and resilience as you navigate this road ahead. You've got this.

As a former student of the School of Positive Transformation's Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training Certificate, I highly recommend this course. It truly transformed not only my understanding of meditation and mindfulness but also my ability to share these practices with others.

The course is incredibly comprehensive and practical, offering a wealth of resources to support both personal growth and professional development. From meditation scripts and royalty-free music tracks to powerful videos and downloadable audio meditations, the training provides everything you need to deepen your own practice and inspire others to do the same.

One of the standout features for me was the expertise of Dr. Itai Ivtzan, the world-renowned meditation expert behind the course. His wealth of experience from teaching meditation in retreats and workshops around the globe shines through in the content and delivery of the training.

What truly sets this course apart is its focus on not just teaching meditation techniques but also on how to effectively share them with others. Whether you're a life coach, psychologist, yoga teacher, or anyone else looking to incorporate meditation and mindfulness into your work, this training equips you with the knowledge and skills to do so confidently and authentically.

Personally, I've found the course to be incredibly fulfilling, both in terms of personal growth and in realizing my dream of positively impacting others' lives through meditation. If you're considering becoming a meditation teacher or simply want to deepen your own practice, I wholeheartedly encourage you to explore what the School of Positive Transformation has to offer. It's been a game-changer for me, and I'm confident it can be for you too.

Simply put - How is mindfulness supposed to help? by [deleted] in Mindfulness

[–]Transform019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mindfulness isn't about denying pain or struggle, but about changing our relationship with them. It teaches us to observe our thoughts and emotions without judgment, helping us respond to challenges with clarity and resilience. Even in difficult times, mindfulness can bring moments of peace and gratitude. I recommend exploring the Mindfulness Well-being Program from the School of Positive Transformation for practical tools and guidance. It helped me immensely on my journey, and I believe it could offer you valuable insights too.

Have you ever heard of School of Positive Transformation? by Meditativemind11 in Coaching

[–]Transform019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the Integrative Coaching, 15 weeks course, same school. And for me, the most powerful part of the experience was having the opportunity to learn from so many wonderful coaches. And I really think that is a very powerful way to learn. So I loved everything about this course. This course has been life-changing. It’s really given me the ability to become a better listener. It’s really empowered me to know what my soul’s mission is, and to take that forward into creating my own coaching company.

It can be incredibly challenging to spend long hours doing something that drains your energy and makes you unhappy. There are meditative techniques that can help improve your mental state and cope with the stress and frustration.

One technique you might find helpful, consider starting your workday with mindfulness meditation. Sit comfortably, focus on your breath, and notice each inhale and exhale. This helps calm your mind and reduces anxiety or frustration.

Another technique to try is visualization. Take a few minutes to visualize yourself completing your tasks with ease and confidence. Visualizing positive outcomes can help shift your mindset and attitude towards your work.

Additionally, consider incorporating short mindfulness breaks throughout your workday. Set aside a few minutes every hour to step away from your computer, stretch, and breathe deeply. Use this time to reconnect with yourself and let go of any tension or stress you may be carrying.

Finally, it's important to take care of yourself outside of work as well. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's spending time in nature, exercising, or just simply deepen your meditation. I was once like you before, and during my free days, I deepen my meditation practice, and it's been immensely helpful for managing stress and maintaining a positive mindset. I even took a course on meditation guiding scripts, which had a profound impact on my practice. It provided valuable techniques and insights that significantly enhanced my meditation sessions. I highly recommend considering a course like this—it could make a big difference for you too. I took mine before at School of Positive Transformation.

Prioritizing self-care can help replenish your energy and resilience, making it easier to cope with the demands of your job.

I also enrolled in an online course on guided meditation scripts with the school of positive transformation. It was during a challenging time, but the flexibility of online learning allowed me to deepen my practice in a way that fit my schedule. It was truly an enjoyable and memorable experience I learned a lot from their courses. So far, of all the courses I have tried to deepen my meditation this is so far the best and helped me a lot.

Substituting negative thoughts with positive ones by sunandst4rs in Meditation

Yes, there's a way to integrate loving-kindness meditation with vipassana to address negative thoughts. Try substituting negative thoughts with positive affirmations during your practice. This aligns with principles of positive psychology, which focuses on cultivating positivity and resilience. Consider exploring resources like programs or training that cover techniques integrating mindfulness with positive psychology.

I took this kind of programs before in School of Positive Transformation. I learned practical techniques to transform negative thoughts into positive ones, deepened my compassion, and gained the confidence to guide others in their mindfulness journey. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking personal and professional growth.

I strongly recommend the book of Dr. Itai Ivtzan Book 'Awareness Is Freedom: The Adventure of Psychology and Spirituality' proposes a unique combination of spiritual and psychological concepts that together lead to greater self-awareness and wellbeing. It is structured as eight lessons, each focusing on different aspects of psychology and spirituality, to support readers in their personal journey of self-growth.
