Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) Through the Vedic Worldview

What if post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, is shaped not only by what happened, but by how much adaptation energy we had when it happened? In this episode, Thom explores stress, premature cognitive commitment, and why seemingly unrelated triggers can keep past overload alive in the nervous system. Thom also explains how Vedic Meditation helps dissolve accumulated stress and responds to a follow-up question about past-life trauma and karma. Listen or watch for a grounded Vedic perspective on recovery, resilience, and liberation from past impressions.Episode Highlights[00:45] Understanding Stress[04:04] Adaptation Energy and Stress Reaction[06:33] When Adaptation Energy Runs Low[10:15] Premature Cognitive Commitments[13:05] PTSD Is Not About Scale[16:05] How Stress Leaves the Body[19:50] Vedic Meditation for PTSD[24:29] 24-Hour Bliss and Liberation[29:22] Q - Do past lives affect PTSD?[29:34] A - Consciousness Carries Past Impressions[33:10] Recovery Depends on Adaptation Energy[36:22] No Single Event Causes BreakdownUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
