Breathing in through your nose for the count of 5, and exhaling out through the mouth (pursed lips) for the count of 10, can prevent anxiety and panic and regulate the nervous system. Practice this each day so it becomes natural.♡

UPDATE at 1510: Officers are clearing the Salem Center Mall at this time. Liberty at Chemeketa ST NE closed and traffic is being routed west from Liberty. Avoid the area due at this time as the incident is still ongoing. Again this is NOT an active shooter incident. #salemoregon

#UPDATE at 1255: Traffic congestion on 12th ST SE in the vicinity of the @OregonCapitol. Court ST in front of the state capitol is down to two lanes.

Please take alternate routes to avoid any delay in your travel through the city.

Sometimes the anxiety you feel is your healthiest, authentic self colliding with the inauthenticity around you.

The person you become on the other side of your healing, will sustain the loss of those who’ve walked away.

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

RT @CACRadicalGrace: For @RichardRohrOFM, when we surrender to love in the present moment, we encounter the flow of Divine Presence: "Prayer is not primarily saying words or thinking thoughts. It is, rather, a life stance." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/0qAztRVq1T

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

A survivor doesn’t need to hear that their abuser was probably also abused, or is struggling with their mental health. The moment a human feels entitled to another persons well-being, their reasons are secondary. The protection & care of who they’ve hurt, must be top priority.

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Feeling misunderstood can be highly triggering for someone who grew up in an environment where they were not accepted, or had to hide important parts of themselves out of survival.

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

RT @CACRadicalGrace: @RichardRohrOFM points out how the Bible is filled with stories of people encountering God—regardless of whether they got everything right or everything wrong! "This is why Jesus stands religion on its head..." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/olvykXLpVe

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

The late Bishop Desmond Tutu understood our interdependence with each other as part of what it means to live in the image of God. As Bishop Tutu told me, “We are only the light bulbs, Richard, and our job is to remain screwed in!” #DailyMeditations https://t.co/HWMI21muPq

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

RT @CACRadicalGrace: Today @RichardRohrOFM names some of the realities that have been “unveiled” in recent decades, and a path forward. "Religion has always said that an authentic God encounter is the quickest and truest path to wisdom." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/fNMOtnW399

@d_l_mayfield For me it's the realization of how little agency I've had in my own life.

[Melissa Cirino Wommack @MCWommack]

@d_l_mayfield And to think, scripture is FULL of calls from our Father to bring Him our questions. Ask, seek with our whole hearts and minds. If only we didn’t make Him into a God too small for our real, full selves. Thankful He’s still teaching me this!

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Traumatic experiences have immediate impact & convince us the intensity we feel is our new normal. It’s not. It’s hard, but reminding yourself that you’re a human being, trying to make sense of something that wasn’t supposed to happen helps name trauma & honor your response to it

2/ "...because ADHD shows decreased dopamine & norepinephrine in the dorsal prefrontal cortex & anterior cingulate. So I think there's a connection between these two. That's why we see a lot of ADHD and PTSD."

[Stephanie Winn, LMFT | ROGD Repair @sometherapist]

@FrankAndersonMD "Panic and grief are associated with the opioid system, oxytocin, and prolactin." Those emotions can feel very much like opiate withdrawal, even for people who have never touched opiates. This also tells us a lot about why people with complex trauma often end up opiate addicted.
