Thanks for the post Tatsy. I know I've told you this already, but you were a huge inspiration for me when I started back at the beginning of the year, and you continue to be.

Your post got me thinking. I've read some about mindfulness, and several years ago I had a counselor who encouraged me to practice the technique, although she didn't call it that. I feel that AVRT and mindfulness go hand in hand in some ways. I have had times in my life when I suffered from a lot of negative self talk and obsessive thinking. Focusing on the bad to the point of almost crippling depression and doubt. I started practicing a form of AVRT without knowing what it was, to separate myself from those thoughts.

The self taught technique helped get me through my divorce from an emotionalaly abbusive husband with my sanity intact. I couldn't agree more that AVRT has wide reaching benefits that can help in many areas of life.

Keep being awesome Tatsy
