We all have experienced and carry trauma to a certain degree – in which ‘trauma’ refers to all the unresolved emotions and unfelt feelings that are influencing our thoughts, our behaviours and keep us feeling ‘stuck’ in unconscious patterns, loops and fight/flight/freeze responses. It are these traumas that often make us disconnect from our body, disconnect from our feelings, disconnect from our Hearts and start running life from the head. In order to heal, to embody our wholeness, we have to reconnect with those parts of ourselves that want to be felt by us, that want to be seen by us, heard by us and that want to be welcomed by us. It all starts with allowing what arises to be there. So that we can feel it and by feeling it, we no longer have to run away from it. It takes courage to look at these shadow parts of ourselves, but it is from this place of compassionate acknowledgement what is here, that we can start to grow and learn from the deeper messages that these wounds are trying to communicate to us. So that we can start experiencing that life is never against us, but is always nurturing and taking care of us in our continuous process of growth, learning, discovery and becoming our most empowered, free, authentic, loving Self.
