Even though time moves on and we all grow up, we still have that part of us that feels everything we did as a child.
As children, we learn how to cope with the things that hurt us. We can either try to ignore them and trap them down deep in our belly, or jump up and down and have a tantrum. We unconsciously carry those reactions, and how they made us feel, into our adulthood. These become our adult coping mechanism. Even though, as adults, we may not jump up and down like we did as a child, we still hold the cellular memory deep in our body.
I’m always fascinated by where our energy takes us. It’s like our soul takes us by the hand and gently guides us to our next unveiling.
By following the patterns that have unfolded throughout my life, I have been guided to unpack trauma and patterns that have been passed down through my lineage, as well as lessons my soul came here to learn. This has allowed me to discover parts of myself that have been dormant and hiding in the shadows.
Following up from the last article on Narcissistic traits, I would like to share some key ways to help you heal from this emotionally depleting abuse.
Perhaps you’ve been sitting around, asking yourself the following questions..
We ALL have tendencies along the narcissistic spectrum.
Though many of us don't want to admit this, the more you deny it, the further on the spectrum you may be.
Women who have never felt seen or heard, and have always put other people’s feelings first, have a tendency to swallow their emotions to keep the peace.
When they are then in the presence of a man who is gentle and soft, and open to listening to his woman, it allows their nervous system to relax and come back into homeostasis.
We hear the term ‘self-care’ all the time. What most people think of, though, when they hear ‘self-care’, is a massage, manicure, getting your hair done, etc.
However, I’m referring to something deeper, on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level. I’m not just talking about superficial stuff.
When a woman embraces her wild self, the man follows her lead. She then shines brighter because she knows that he holds the fort for her to continue flowing like the river.
He moves swiftly and gracefully with her dance. He does not lose balance, he does not lose focus. His energy carves the space for her to continue moving, flowing, embracing whatever arises.
We hear a lot about conscious relationships, twin flames, sacred union, and polarity. But do we really know what they mean? The divine feminine and sacred masculine play important “roles” in the conscious relationship, and can only work when there is a beautiful connection between the two.
The divine feminine and sacred masculine are within all of us, regardless of gender, but, for this article, I’m focused on the sacred masculine in a man and the divine feminine in a woman.
It astounds me that ninety percent of the physical pain we experience is due to emotions that are trapped within our body and, yet, we just ignore it. All the baggage from our relationships, our childhood, and our work environment stay with us, and it’s these energies that disrupt our Nervous System and cause diseases and much of our self sabotage.
Read MoreTrauma can negatively influence our physical, emotional, and mental health, as well as having a significant and long-lasting effect on our lives.
However, there is hope for rehabilitation and healing, and the power of touch is a potent instrument in this process.
If you’re reading this, then you may be feeling unfulfilled in your relationship right now. You don’t feel that the connection is as strong as it once was. Maybe you’re even feeling a little neglected, or downright emotionally abandoned. This leaves you feeling insignificant, to the person who matters to you more than anyone in the world.
What you need to know is that you matter to your partner, and that they feel your needs are important.
As we progressively advance on our spiritual awakening paths, our Soul essence begins to blossom like a luminous flower deep in our hearts.
The more we clear away the dead, gnarled, and overgrown beliefs, perspectives, and emotional baggage within us, the more clearly we feel our divine essence or true nature.
Generational trauma is an inheritance passed down through family lines, and can cast a long shadow over individuals and communities.
Explore the profound impact of generational trauma, the importance of breaking the cycle, and the transformative power of inner child healing in reclaiming a path towards wholeness and well-being.
Our feelings are the gateway to our subconscious mind, our nervous system, our healing, and the healing of others. Until we recognise their importance, we will never truly break free from the patterns or pain we currently live in.
The reason I draw your awareness to your emotions and feelings is that, for the majority of my life, I have felt the Mother and Father wound so strongly inside me, yet felt guilty about feeling them. You may relate to having these mixed emotions, they can warp the very way we view the world.
The connection between trauma and addiction is a vital piece of the puzzle for those experiencing addiction disorders.
The knowledge of how trauma impacts a person, provides us with another part of the puzzle in making sense of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours associated with the addiction process.
If you have experienced anything in the past that has left you feeling hurt, disappointed, or inadequate, you are probably walking around with unresolved emotional trauma. It may be after a traumatic or difficult experience in your life, like the loss of a loved one, illness, end of a relationship, etc.
You may think you are effectively masking your emotions, and that those repressed feelings don’t affect your everyday life, but, let me tell you, that is not the case.
We all have a shadow self. Learn how to befriend your shadows, through the power of mindful shadow work, so that you can reclaim the joy and healing that is your birthright!
Beneath the social mask we wear every day, we have a hidden shadow side: an impulsive, wounded, sad, or isolated part, that we generally try to ignore. The Shadow can be a source of emotional richness and vitality, and acknowledging it can be a pathway to healing and an authentic life.
How many times have you felt insulted, degraded, and left in a state of anxiety or depression, as a result of your harsh inner voice?
“Why did you say such a stupid thing?”
“You look ridiculous!”
The word “toxic” gets thrown around a lot, especially since we really started addressing emotional abuse.
‘Toxic’ means what it has always meant - A poisonous substance that damages and destroys anything that consumes it. Toxic people have the same effect.
By looking closely at ourselves, we discover that our emotions, behaviours, and beliefs are those that were impressed upon us during our youth by our parents, grandparents, and the generations that preceded them.
