Trauma
Survival Stress
As we wake up from the demands of the personal identity a new relationship with the body begins to awaken as well. The body is no longer seen as a means to an end but an innocent and alive mystery with an innate intelligence…..
The Right Conditions
Human beings are like plants. We do really well in the right conditions and poorly in the “wrong” conditions. It’s up to us to discover what the right conditions are for us to heal.
Even the Birds are Quiet
It’s not our natural state to be overbearing and heavy with unprocessed pain. There is a more embodied way of being that begins with truth telling, compassion, listening and a willingness to see.
The Reverberations of Trauma
The reverberations of trauma begin in childhood and echo throughout our lifetime. With loving attention new pathways can be formed in the brain and redirected towards wholeness.
The Trauma Wound
The trauma wound goes back to the disconnection that happens during a traumatic experience in childhood. Our natural state is connection. Disconnection is the result of trauma.
Living with Individual and Collective Trauma
We bring ourselves into alignment with the way things are right now. We stop fighting and allow ourselves to be deeply impacted by the goodness and healing forces of our benevolent nature.
A Different Kind of Looking
Life is kind and when you slow down to a gentle, curious and compassionate kind of listening you will see what is here for your attention.
Freeze: A Survival Response
Freeze is a survival response that happens in the physiology as a result of overwhelm. Healing happens slowly and it needs to happen slowly in order to digest the overwhelm that is contained within it.
The Heart of Contemplation
Contemplation is a gentle practice of simply being here. It’s a practice of meeting what’s here in each moment including our shifting and changing internal environment.
