Reposted by request from folks who took my intro to PVA class last month!
Polyvagal Acupuncture™ (PVA) is an integrative technique I developed out of necessity—born during a time of crisis, refined through clinical application, and grounded in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern neuroscience.
🪷 The Great Doubt and the Return of Self-Initiated
Presence
Across many
spiritual and trauma therapy frameworks, there arises a state in terms of
processing or spiritual seeking referred to in Zen traditions as the Great
Doubt (大疑, dai-gi). It describes a state
in which all conceptual frameworks collapse, including spiritual certainty and
self-definition. It is not confusion—it is a radical suspension of known
reference points. In this terrain, the practitioner does not seek answers. Instead,
the inquiry itself becomes a living presence:
· Who am I? What is this? What is really true?”
