Trauma is an energy that gets lodged in our bodies. Understanding this opens us to the power of healing whole and living free.
I know this not because I am a doctor, quantum scientist, or have a Ph.D. after my name. But because I am a self-healed woman who has lived the experience of trauma energetics wreaking havoc in my body for 50 years.
I had no clue that I was walking around energetically attached to past traumas since I was three years old.
Until I woke up at age 50, asking myself, “What’s wrong with me?”
It’s only natural to think something is wrong with us after spending decades “doing the work” to heal.
Counseling, group therapy, 12-step recovery, meditation, yoga, chanting, gong baths, tapping - you name it, I did it.
But after years of showing up for myself, I still suffered silently with a weighted ball of sadness deep inside of me that I couldn’t shake.
I was still a hostage, cycling the trauma-trigger loop and experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD responses in my body.
The truth is, I was coping, not healing. I was well prepared and living on standby with my bag of coping skills, always ready for the next trigger to hit.
Unaware that coping is NOT healing. There’s a difference.
We’ve been conditioned to believe we are stuck with trauma, that it’s woven into the fabric of who we are, and we must learn to “cope” with it the rest of our lives.
This is no longer true for me, and it does not have to be true for you either.
When I started to experience it through the lens of energy, I quickly realized that trauma, like all energy, can be transmuted and moved out of the body.
Energy is the missing link to healing whole and living free from stored trauma in the body.
Everything is energy. Every thought and emotion we have holds its own frequency. Trauma is no different.
It’s an energy that becomes stuck and stored in the body as cellular memories, suppressed emotional blocks, and energetic attachments to the actual events.
Just like the speed of light or sound, trauma is motion. When trauma energy becomes stuck, it clogs, alters, and stagnates everything around it, which can wreak havoc on its environment.
Trauma energy needs to move. It’s like an energetic misfiring that can’t complete its cycle of moving through and out of the body.
This is why energy work and frequency healing are so invaluable to finally releasing ourselves from the grip of the trigger-trauma loop.
Clearing and releasing energy blocks and emotional, energetic attachments to trauma is how I finally broke free.
My experience is that trapped trauma energy, including suppressed emotions, causes dis-ease in the body.
For me, the trauma disease manifested in my body as addiction, depression/anxiety, PTSD, and finally living sick, disabled, and homebound for nearly seven years with multiple sclerosis.
Healing holistically and energetically is not about the labels or diagnoses because It manifests differently for each of us. So do not limit your ability to heal with a label.
Healing is about releasing, recalibrating, and re-establishing alignment and harmony between the mind, body, and spirit.
I’ve done this through my trial and error process. I’ve healed all of these imbalances, and it was the energy healing that helped me cross the finish line to healing whole.
Releasing the trapped trauma energy out of my body freed me. It can free you too.
If you feel resistant to the idea of healing energetically, here are a few steps you can take to move through the resistance and into the realm of greater possibility for yourself. Because resistance, after all, is an energy that can be transmuted.
Be Open
The first step is to be open to the possibility and probability that you, too, can heal, regardless of what you’ve been taught to believe or how bleak it seems.
Get Curious
The second step is to get curious about what you feel and where you are experiencing it in your body. Approach your curiosity without judgment. Instead, adopt a childlike wonder...as if you're experiencing it for the first time. Describe it and notice what is yours and what is not yours.
Challenge Beliefs
The third step is to challenge your beliefs, which is about peeling the layers of conditioning put on you since childhood. Because what if everything you’ve been taught to think and believe about trauma and disease isn’t true? What would it mean for you and your life to discover a new truth? Your real truth.
Explore Options
The fourth step is to explore your options. There are thousands of healing modalities out there. This is about finding what’s suitable for you. Research and learn more about quantum physics, energy, frequency, vibration. Search for other healing success stories like mine. Try on what it could feel like for you to begin to live and operate outside of the box of mainstream conditioning.
Seek Support
Find an energy guide you resonate with and commit to experiencing an energy healing session. I’d suggest committing to more than one (around three), so you can experience what’s possible for you. Whether it’s myself or someone else, I suggest working with someone who has truly healed his/her trauma and dis-ease.
My final offering is this.
There is nothing wrong with you. You may be energetically attached to the past, and there is a way out.
“The future of medicine is the medicine of frequency.” -Einstein
I’m saying the future is here. All you need to do is be a yes now.
