Cyber Bullying

I am being cyber bullied by a man named A. Carroll, PHD. After a little online research, I found that he has done this to many others as well. I had never heard of this man in my life. But he decided he does not like the way I live my life, based on what he read about me on my blog. Do I have suggestions for people who are being cyber bullied? I’m not really sure.

The bully wants to believe they are superior, in control, have the power, and will attack you in your most vulnerable heart spot. I have a lot of compassion for those who buy into the bully’s view of the world. The scariest bully is the one who is also clinically narcissistic, as they can lose control and act out.

Carroll seems to resent anyone who does not match his personal rule book, which no one has a copy of but him. He claims he has a right to harass based on the fact that he is a minority. He seems to be a Trumpian-style person, who enjoy slandering and belittling people. (in his head, he has a right to bully, he is offended that I enjoyed my class on Nemenhah)

The email I received from him was most revealing. It was apparent there was very little reason for me to reply to it because he knows everything and all white people are racist ----so there is absolutely no reason for me to say anything. But of course, I did reply, so we’ll see what happens next. I took a humor approach in my posted reply. It will be fun to see if the bully leaves it. I took this tactic because it made me feel empowered. If I lived in the same town as he does I would not do this, see the warning in paragraph 2.

Cyberbullying is when the bully uses technology, such as the Internet, emails, text messages, or social media, to harass, threaten, or humiliate a person. It seems to haunt your life because it’s not limited to just a handful of witnesses but exists in cyber space over time. Unlike traditional bullying, it does not require face-to-face contact and does not require physical power or strength in numbers.

Anyone with an Internet connection or mobile phone can cyberbully someone else, often without having to reveal their true identity. Cyberbullies can torment you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because of the nature of the internet, the bullying can follow you anywhere. It can feel like no place, not even home, feels safe. The harassment and humiliation can be witnessed by hundreds or even thousands of people online.

The methods used to cyberbully can be as varied and imaginative as the technology that the bully has access to. It can range from sending threatening or taunting messages via email, text, social media, or IM to breaking into your email account, or stealing one’s online identity to hurt and humiliate. Cyberbullies may even create a website or social media page to target you.

Cyberbullying can make you feel like you’re stranded somewhere that no-one else can get to with no-one who understands, and nowhere to turn for help.

Coping Strategies

Don’t respond immediately keep in mind that the person who’s targeting you wants you to respond.

Follow up when you’re calmer and get a proper feel for the situation before contacting the person who is cyberbullying you.

Take screenshots This is the best way for you to report an instance of cyberbullying.

Try to stop compulsively checking posts and limit your social media time to a few hours a day, and you can take a break from the online world to look after yourself.

Report and block. Most social media sites want to help you feel safe online, so they have a lot of built-in tools to keep you safe. 

There are some good ideas on how to deal with cyberbullies. However, there is no easy, simple solution to stop cyberbullying. Typically, bullying or cyberbullying is rarely limited to one or two incidents. It's more likely to be a sustained attack over a period of time. You may have to be relentless in your efforts to confront bullying, and to maintain mental/emotional resilience.

Key ideas to remember:

The bully is the person with the problem, not you. Don't blame yourself. No matter what a bully says or does, you should not be ashamed of who you are or what you feel.

The bully is an unhappy, frustrated person who wants to have control over your feelings so that you feel as badly as they do. Don't give them the satisfaction. Try to view bullying from a different perspective

Don't make a bullying incident worse by dwelling on it or reading cyberbullying messages over and over. Delete any messages and focus on the positive experiences in your life. Don't beat yourself up there are many wonderful things about you so be proud of who you are.

Finding healthy ways to de-stress can make you more resilient so you won't feel overwhelmed by negative experiences. Try: exercise, meditation, positive self-talk, muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises are all good ways to cope with the stress of bullying.

The more time you spend with activities that bring you pleasure the less significance bullying or cyberbullying will have on your life. Spend time doing things you enjoy: sports, hobbies, hanging out with friends who don't participate in bullying.

The bully wants to have power over you and to make you feel less than. I would suggest you find a way to empower yourself and your thinking.

Any person who would bully another, and any person who justifies their own bullying, or abusive behavior is a mentally sick person. This type of person cannot be reasoned with, you can never win them over. If you are in danger make a plan to get out of the situation.

Stay strong, do not let anyone steal your joy, bliss, or light. Empower yourself and find an online support group. Better yet, start your own real life support group; new friends can often be more interesting than the old. You could try doing volunteer work; reaching out a helping hand to others reminds us that we have a valuable role to play in life.

NAFPS: home for internet trolls

I was slandered on the internet. I enjoy learning and am open minded about life, people, cultures and freedom of thought. I never imagined that by sharing what I have learned with others, some unknown person would view me as fair game for his nastiness. So, he slandered me and called me a fraud. The world being what it is now, where truth doesn’t matter, where even our own elected officials are more interested in naked ambition than the truth…

NAFPS Forum decided to defame and slander me. When you register to post on the site they require you to agree to this statement: You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate…. As if agreeing to this statement is a guarantee that what you read there is true. The ADMIN is totally abdicating any self -responsibility, read this: You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this forum

[ADMIN], any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its subsidiaries. The owners of this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.

Does this ADMIN remind you of anyone in political power? I shrug my shoulders and say who knows?

*********************************************************************************

This is my response to NAFPS:

Hello, my name is Crescence Allen. To call me a fraud is a mean, petty and hurtful statement when you have never met me. I question your ethical grounding. My professional ethics would never allow me to slander someone I never met.

I am requesting that you take down the slanderous post about me from your site. Everything I represent about myself is absolutely true. My credentials are listed with the Department of Education the State of Missouri. Whatever your attitudes are about Nemenhah it has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to defend Nemenhah because we have freedom of religion in the United States.

If you believe I have done something fraudulent then come to my house and say it to my face, bring your proof, or sue me. The site now has my email address contact me. I would find it very interesting to meet you.

Or I’ll come to you and you can prove to me why I am such a fraud. If you can’t do this then take the slanderous article down. The ridiculous idea that I am a fraud because I have not filled in the honors section of the healthgrades website (which is not a professional organization any way) confirms that your article about me is fake, undocumented tripe. By the way, Boards certifications apply to the medical profession. I am a PhD in psychology: that is a doctorate of philosophy in the area of psychology.

 I like Native American culture and I respect it. What I don’t like is an arrogant person who pretends to be saving the world from frauds at my expense. Was it a slow news day so you pulled my name out of a hat?

 If you are offended by my use of the words Medicine Woman, get over yourself, you don’t own the words. There is no legal registry of Medicine Women. These are English words and I am speaking to my readers.  I have a right to my religion and to my culture; even a culture of one, just me. By the way, I use my real name, where is yours? But then, I am not an internet troll.

*********************************************************************************

To the readers of my blog, my goal as always is to give you the best self-help information I can find. And I wish you all the very best of health, joy and peace!

Yes, I did take this attack very personally. I grew up in a time when women were considered less than men and we were supposed to know our place. Society didn’t think we needed college educations, we could not expect equal pay for equal work, we could not have our own credit cards, and a bank would not give us a loan for a car or a home without a man cosigning. Men felt free to tell us we were lucky if they chose to have sex with us and in many states’ laws a married woman was her husband’s property.

So, after all I have learned, contributed to life and overcome, why should some cowardly, unidentified stranger think he has the right to call me a fraud?

Understanding Energy Medicine and BodyTalk

We are energy beings and we have the ability to tap into our energy reserves and direct them for healing. We have more power to heal our own bodies than we realize. The healing energy modality that works for you….is the one that works for you. That statement sounds very Zen, like meditating on the sound of one hand clapping, but it is profoundly true. Don’t leave energy techniques out of your arsenal as you address any disease.

For anyone who doubts the energetic power of the mind-body relationship for physical and emotional healing, look into the research on acupuncture, heartmath, biofeedback and non local prayer groups. Also, there many books written by physicians detailing the miraculous healing of patients they had sent home to die.

As part of my personal healing protocol for cancer, I work with a BodyTalk practitioner. BodyTalk is a complimentary energy medicine technique. To me, the power (energy) of the mind, body and spirit to heal is obvious. Through bio-energetic processes, the body heals itself every day by healing cuts, knitting bones, replicating cells, etc. The premise of energy medicine is that the body's energy is focused on maintaining life.

Energy is also known as Chi, Ki, Qi, Prana, Force and it is all around us manifesting all living things – birds, flowers, trees and people. We live in a world of energy that we can connect with through various energy healing modalities to heal ourselves and others.

Science has proven that all materials in the physical world are, fundamentally, manifestations of various forms of energy. Everything in the universe is made up of different vibrant frequencies of energy vibrating. At the quantum level, solid objects are made up of vibrational energy fields.

Throughout history ancient people observed and recognized different energy fields and created methods to direct their power for healing and wellness. Fengshui is an ancient Chinese art of harmonizing the energy of people and environment. They believe by harnessing the energy in the environment one can create optimal conditions for living and increases the possibility of success in business ventures, careers, relationship with people, as well as health and wellness.

In the ancient world, Egyptians used cosmic energy through the pyramids for many purposes such as healing, the formation of rains for crops, etc. Every culture has a history of shamans, or energy healers, who were able to heal people through laying on of hands, or could energetically divine where to dig for water wells, or could heal emotional problems through dreams and meditation.

David Feinstein, Ph.D., and Donna Eden in their excellent article, Six Pillars of Energy Medicine: Clinical Strengths of a Complementary Paradigm, tell us the role of energy medicine in the therapeutic process: “six properties of energy medicine give it strengths that could augment conventional health care models. These include the ways energy medicine 1) can address biological processes at their energetic foundations (reach), 2) regulates biological processes with precision, speed, and flexibility (efficiency), 3) fosters healing and prevents illness with interventions that can be readily, economically, and non-invasively applied (practicality), 4) includes methods that can be utilized on an at-home, self-help basis, fostering a stronger patient and practitioner partnership in the healing process (patient empowerment), 5) adopts non-linear concepts consistent with distant healing, the healing impact of prayer, and the role of intention in healing (quantum compatibility), and 6) strengthens the integration of body, mind, and spirit, leading not only to a focus on healing, but to achieving greater well-being, peace, and passion for life (holistic orientation).”

All healings are self-healing and our bodies are endowed with extraordinary abilities to heal. Since we are energy it is possible for us to perform self-healing and to effect healing of others, even over distances.

There are many types of energy healing modalities. Here are descriptions of ten common modalities listed on the website, lotus-happiness.com: Quantum Touch ®, EFT, Reiki, Restorative Touch™, Brennan Healing Science®, Healing Touch, Pranic Healing, ThetaHealing®, Longevitology, The Wonder Method. It is recommended that you research any modality you choose to try and that you follow your inner knowing and personal guidance when choosing a modality or practitioner with which to work. I am doing nonlocal healing sessions with a BodyTalk practitioner in California on Facetime. We met at a past life seminar, a few years ago, and had an instant energetic connection so it is easy for me to work with her. 

What is BodyTalk Therapy? It is based upon the proven principles of energetic medicine, and is a holistic approach to healing that integrates the practices of kinesiology, yoga, psychology, Western Medicine, Ayurveda (traditional healing modalities of India), and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The aim is to enhance and stimulate the body’s natural abilities to reach true physical, emotional and spiritual health. 

The Bodytalk practitioner’ working belief is that a natural state of communication exists between the atoms, cells and all internal systems within the body. These communication lines can become crossed and compromised as a result of every day stress. Ultimately, this decreases overall individual wellbeing. Bodytalk realigns these areas of communication to stimulate and reactivate the body's natural self-healing capability.

Techniques employed to realign the areas of communication in your body include:

1.     Direct communication – with the body via the use of muscle testing (a technique often used in Kinesiology) allowing the body to diagnose itself. 

2.     Breathwork – (based on yogic philosophy) breathwork ensures that the brain, heart and immune system become fully engaged in the session to ensure lasting results. 

3.     Tapping - most often used upon the head gets the body focused on healing. Trigger points on the body are tapped encouraging the brain to focus on their links and repairs.

4.     The Cortices technique –correct imbalances between the left and right halves of the brain, for improved efficiency and overall health. 

5.     Switching - the brain occasionally goes into a ‘switching mode’ as the result of stress, which compromises normal brain function. The practitioner employs the Switching technique to restore normal brain function. 

6.     Hydration – is used to correct the body’s ability utilize all available water thereby improving the efficiency of all body processes.

7.     Body Chemistry technique – corrects immune system imbalances and heightens its ability to recognize ingrained bacteria, viruses and parasites to restore health without pharmacological medication. 

8.     Reciprocals technique – recreates the integrity of the body’s structures. 

Bodytalk has been used to treat and alleviate the symptoms of:

·       Headaches, Migraines 

·       Back, Neck, Joint pain, Arthritis & stiffness 

·       Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue 

·       Chronic viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections 

·       Food, chemical, environmental allergies 

·       Digestive disorders & IBS 

·       Constipation, Bladder problems (bed-wetting) 

·       Hormonal disorders, Period pain and P.M.T 

·       Abnormal Blood sugar levels, Food cravings 

·       Fears, phobias 

·       Emotional trauma, Addictions, Eating disorders 

·       Children’s disorders such as Hyperactivity, Sleep problems, infections, Learning disabilities, Dyslexia and Behavioral problems 

The goal of BodyTalk is to rebalance and re-aligning the communication between the body’s cells and systems to facilitate optimal functioning once again.

The key Principles of BodyTalk Therapy are three key principles are: 1. The body is inherently wise and, as such, fully capable of healing itself, 2. Stress hinders optimal functioning and disrupts the natural healing process, 3. The cells and systems within the body communicate constantly. The body has the capacity to effectively heal itself.  However, the constant stressors, such as pollution, the plethora of toxins in our environment and food, the frenetic pace of society, and emotional and physical trauma take a tremendous toll on our physical, psychological, and spiritual health and wellbeing.  These stressors cause a breakdown in functioning and communication within the body compromising its natural ability to heal.

Australian healthcare practitioner Dr. John Veltheim developed the BodyTalk System in the mid-1990s.  Dr. Veltheim trained in both chiropractic and Chinese medicine, as well as, Reiki, bioenergetics, sports medicine, philosophy, and applied kinesiology. 

Over the twenty years, this system has been taught to countless practitioners world-wide.

Many individuals report immediate responses such as:

·       Reduction in overall stress

·       Increased feeling of calm

·       Release of tension

·       Reduction in a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms that were present prior to treatment

·       Greater mental clarity

·       Increased energy levels

·       Improved ability to focus

·       Improved cognitive functioning

·       Better circulation

·       Greater overall body functioning

·       Reduction in pain

·       Reduced recovery time due to faster healing

·       Less anxiety

·       Enhanced spiritual awareness

·       Easier pregnancy and delivery

·       Improved sleep

BodyTalk therapy can be a very effective for treatment for the suffering caused by unresolved trauma and PTSD.  Unresolved psychological trauma can be devastating. When left untreated, the trauma remains stored in the body both physically and emotionally. The individual remains in survival mode and is vulnerable to situations, emotions, and memories that trigger the unresolved trauma.  This creates chaos in the individual’s life. These symptoms may be subtle (e.g. chronic muscle tension or a general feeling of dread) or obvious (e.g. flashbacks or nightmares related to the trauma).  It is important to receive effective treatment as soon as possible following a traumatic event.
