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?
