Reiterating a few points extracted from Parts I and II information series on traumatic and emotional memories will carry over into Part III and conclude this series with a visual release method.
Once your body has memorized a specific event, it will naturally make you feel that emotion when any new and related experience occurs. In order to release traumatic experiences, it will take all of your will, focus, and dedication to do so. With this traditional knowledge of understanding, you can overcome traumatic memories by simply retraining your conscious interaction toward them.
You can rewrite the brain for joy and happiness and heal from trauma by utilizing the Visual Release Meditation method. With a repeated emotion, your body builds a tolerance to the feeling making it normal. With guidance, you can learn to have memories without the distress from traumatic experience(s).
The brain connections (functional magnetic resonance imaging) become malleable and then resets. Which means that the memory can change a little each time it’s recalled, and resets stronger and more vividly with every recall. Studies have now shown that removing the traumatic aspect of the memory involves creating a new, safer mental association to the brain’s same sensory cues.
See Visual Meditation VIDEO and practice below.

Let’s Begin with the Affirmation for Week 32 !
“I Accept the Unique Form and Timing of My Memories”
As I consciously walk in my recovery from sexual abuse, I may discover how triggered memories will present themselves in many forms. They may appear through me in dreams, writing, drawing, meditation, counseling, daydreaming, anxiety, and other unexpected appearances.
The fear may be to discount any experiences that do not surface my reality. I may alert myself that if I cannot recall the events, this can mean they didn’t transpire. When I begin to recognize and accept this response of my most vital survival technique conditioning itself, I will not be able to surpass it beyond the message received from my unconscious.
This may be difficult in the beginning, and in fact, discouraging. The rooted need for control will become apparent. But I can now start to let go and envision a greater “story” with its own validity of peace.
Triggered memories may present themselves at any given moment, but almost always at an inappropriate time. Once again, I can simply acknowledge the information that is being transcribed to me, my willingness to accept and change the memory will occur in due time.
My abusers had readily programmed me to disbelieve my awareness, discredit my perceptions, and to “dumb-down” my thinking skills. This is how they indwell denial furthering their deceitful crimes.
My memories are my child-within’s intuitive way of revealing the truth. Today, I will honor her by acknowledging her message to grow.

You are a Survivor-Stay in action on your healing journey every day and meditate on these concepts, “I Accept the Unique Form and Timing of My Memories”.

Almost everyone has triggered memories that they would rather not address, or know of the triggers that could bring more trauma into fruition. Traumatic memories can underline a sort of imbalances like depression, anxiety, and phobias.
Our mental context in which a person perceives an event affects how the mind catalog the memories of that occurrence. In Part II, we will discover the basic order of operation of the brain’s memory center by the result of emotion, and how this discovery can reverse these conditions today.
|
We recall events in relation to other events, the environment, and so on. Once your body has memorized a heightened emotion associated with a particular experience it will naturally trigger you to feel the emotion when any new and related experience occurs.   |
Researchers have shown that harmful memories really are vivid than good ones, possibly due to the interaction between emotions and memory. Typically, so with negative memories.
Neuroimaging studies have detected the process of encoding and retrieving traumatic memories involves the parts of the brain that process emotions, particularly the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex. FMRI studies (functional magnetic resonance imaging) reveal greater cellular activity in these regions when an individual is experiencing a triggered memory. |
|
More recently, western science has finally discovered that humans have a mechanism that they can utilize to block triggered memories, and even more discoveries on suppressing a memory, which involves shutting down parts of the brain that are involved in the recall. Modern science formulated several theories in regards to how our brain process fearful memories. 
|
1. When You Witness a “scary” Event:
|
|
Neuroimaging studies have also discovered which brain systems play a role in absolute forgetting, making it possible to deliberately block traumatic memories from your consciousness.
  |
Eliminating the traumatic context of memory involves creating newer, healthier mental connections to the same sensory cues. When we understand more about how a memory can be replaced or suppressed we will begin to individually help ourselves with traumatic conditions. You can undo your cycle of traumatic feelings simply by consistently training your habits. Once your body has inhabited a specific emotion in connection to a particular experience, it will naturally trigger how you feel that emotion when any new and related experiences occur. |
Memories can be manipulated because they react as if made from glass, existing in a molten state as they are being created, before turning completely solid. When the memory is recalled again, it becomes molten again and can be altered before it once more resets. Each time you revisit a memory, it becomes flexible.
Furthermore, the longer you dwell on a specific memory or rehearse the specific experience surrounding the event the stronger neuron connections become. With a frequent and reoccurring emotion, your body builds a tolerance to the feeling, making it “normal”.
You will need to restore your traumatic experience with a positive one. Relative to modern science, suppressing a memory involves turning off the parts of the brain that are involved in recollection. To replace a memory, those same brain regions must be actively engaged in redirecting the memory towards a more balanced frame of mind.

By now I have a well-manufactured supply of unfavorable experiences that span possibly decades of my life. The inability to process these occurrences began as the effects of my abuse, carrying on long after the abuse ended. The numbing process throughout my life was once a survival tool and a normal way of reality for me.
I truly became hypnotized, recalling or freezing any hurtful feelings-especially those connected to the abusive or victimization experience. I willfully, and probably unconsciously avoided the memories imprinted in the vastness of my consciousness.
During a stage in my recovery process, I may have a collection of experiences which triggered emotions from the past. It may have felt uncomfortable, confusing, or even like insanity. Odors, sounds, and special days may trigger excessive thinking and emotions for me.
It’s possible that the experience was overwhelming, it will pass. Each time that I will courage to embrace and change traumatic experiences, I will be embarking on the gifts of growth and healing. By confronting past experiences, I can release them and develop more nurturing ones.
