Ancient Technique for Stopping A Tic, Twitch, or Tourette's

Key Takeaways:

• Modern medicine failed; ancient modalities succeeded helping heal holistically  
• Tools like yoga, meditation and chanting meet needs for mind-body integration 
• By honoring ancestral wisdom, I created inner peace once lacking  

As someone who struggled with constant motor tics for over 20 years, I tried every modern conventional treatment available to no avail. No pill or medical procedure could provide lasting relief from the thousands of daily spasms erupting through my body.

In desperation, I started exploring more holistic healing modalities from ancient traditions like yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong. And they have helped me achieve what medicine could not.

By dedicating time each day to simple breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and movement rituals passed down for generations, I've learned to come home to my body and find an inner stillness that eluded me for so long.

When I take a moment to tune into my breath, rather than habitually reacting to stress, my nervous system resets out of overdrive. Gentle yoga postures release accumulated tension I've carried for years. Chanting and meditation bring me into the present, out of constant anxiety about the future.

Have these ancient tools completely cured my tics? No - but they've brought me to a place of self-compassion and equanimity I never dreamed possible. I'm no longer at war with my own body.

The more I cultivate presence using these time-tested practices, the less intense and frequent my tics become. Our ancestors knew secrets about integrating mind, body and spirit that we are just rediscovering today.

By learning to listen and honor the wisdom of the past, I'm creating a sense of peace and wholeness right here in the present. Healing is a journey, but I'm no longer walking it alone. The way has been lit by those who walked it long before me.
