Has anyone used will-power to stop a seizure?

[SeizingSince88]

I am wondering if anyone has managed to stop a seizure by some form of will power? I've heard of people who do it by, say, focusing on some other part of their body. (Like, focus on your left big toe & it'll go away.)

I know for myself my seizures start with a high pitched ringing in my right ear (probably where the trouble spot is, right temporal lobe). If I can distract myself, refuse to let it get to me, I can sometimes stop it in the nick of time. Also, I know that certain areas of my brain calm me down, especially in the back of my head. (Sort of like a mellow hum or buzz I sometimes get deep in meditation.) It somehow feels like a "safe zone".

This may be a bit heavy, but I am speculating whether there is a kind of "brain yoga" where one can control things like this. Body yoga focuses on consciously working finer muscles in different parts of the body. Could the same be done in the brain?

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

I've managed to do this on occasion for my less intense seizures. Whenever I feel a seizure approaching I take deep, calming breaths and try not to think about anything at all, except for my breathing.

I've managed to stop many seizures this way. It's definitely possible.

that sounds absurd to me, akin to staying awake for the remainder of your life through sheer willpower.

when I sense a ~slip~ the next thing I know I'm in a foreign world without most of my body function, and to find out later from someone that I'd been unconscious for a great length of time (~45 minutes this past Sunday), where to me it's almost like no time has passed, and then it takes any length of time to get back to "normal"
...although "normal" is a long-gone place I'm beginning to realize I'll never experience again
