Part 1 :: What is an attention beam?
As per this tumblr post. We all have attention beams. They're not made of lasors, sadly. But they're there. Your main perceptive senses are sight, sound, vibrosensal and smell. These senses are so important that we have them all on our face - so the information can get to the brain quicker. They're vital to survival (think: is there a tiger about to eat me etc). We don't usually even notice our senses unless we are meditating.
When you've struggled with trauma, your perceptive senses get a bit messed up, they start to be over-sensitive to any information. Especially because a lot of trauma that we suffer can be long-lasting and may have blind-sided us. Our senses try to overcompensate by being more sensitive HOPING that we will spot the danger next time. But that's usually very hard and it leads to a very high anxiety life that isn't good for us. Anxiety shortens your lifespan.
All your percetive senses are split in two. This is common in most animals, but especially humans as our two sides (though often one side is dominant) function the same, and are purely directional. We have half our senses on the left, and half on the right. Your left eye, ear, nostril and temple are one side, and your right the other. Your temple is the middle of these and the most sensitive to everything and this is where your laser beams are.
If you focus, you can feel these attention beams. Lots of people like to imagine big radar animal ears on their heads - this is you connecting to your attention beam! The reason it's important to feel your attention beams is because it brings you into the world. If you're like me and you spend too much time in your own head - you might benefit from focusing on your attention beams.
If you're meditating, sitting quietly and focusing on your body and our surroundings, you'll likely find your attention beams flittering around due to lack of interaction. Feel them. You'll hear a noise outside and you'll feel your beams point toward it, you think about the washing up and they flit in the direction of the kitchen.
People think that meditation is about emptying your mind, but it's not. It's about connecting with your brain (as part of your body), and your senses are part of that. Lots of people say they can't mediate because they can't "focus on nothing". Which like, I get what your'e saying and I felt like that too - so just focus on your attention beam. You'll be distracted and find it hard, especially at first. But just imagine those lasor beams coming from your temples and it will help.
You realise that in normal functioning daily life, your attention beams are more controlled. It's really good to pay attention to them even when you're not meditating. What this can do to your trauma brain, is just switch it off from constantly being on the lookout for danger all the time.
When you're struggling the most with trauma, your attention beams are flitting constantly and have a big range of 'vision'. We want to close that off and be able to focus at will. You can do it. You can get there.
