Welcome to my three part series on trauma.
First we will identify trauma, then understand how unresolved trauma can become physical symptoms and then look at some ways to resolve trauma and relieve the physical symptoms.
Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, or a physical injury, but what is distressing or disturbing to me is different than what is upsetting to you and it goes even deeper than that, you and I do not decide what trauma is; our bodies make that decision. Our subconscious minds, the program that runs on autopilot, the one that manages our bodies, that is where the decision is made. And that is why our physical ailments can be traced back to an event that occurred in our lives or even while we were in our mother’s womb. Once we recognize and understand this we can choose to allow our bodies to receive the healing.
We all have trauma, how and when we deal with it determines how our physical bodies will be affected. If we ignore it as I was taught, then it becomes deep seated and it will take longer to heal once we do recognize it! Many of us were also taught to deny it, to pretend it doesn't even exist, this can be even harder to admit and heal. We need to feel it in order to heal it!
Trauma can be categorized but we need to remember that each of our bodies is what actually decides what trauma is to us. Each one of us is on our own journey with our unique experiences.
We have the big T traumas like natural disasters, robbery, rape, serious accidents, death of a loved on, divorce things like this. Then there are the smaller t trauma’s like loss, stress at work, illness, getting stung by a bee, or finding a spider in your bed with you!
Anything that triggers the sympathetic nervous system, the freeze, flight or fight response in your body is trauma.
Today I am happily, living a life I previously only dreamt about....
There was a time in my life when I was depressed and despondent, I remember laying in bed begging God to help me. That prayer was answered through essential oils. I had a bottle of Joy oil that was recommended for depression and since I did not appreciate the aroma, I started using it on my feet where it was far enough away for me not to smell it. After about a week I was able to use it on my heart, which is the ideal place for this oil. Often when we do not like the aroma of a specific oil it is because our body really needs the constituents of that oil and our body rejects it because we are so lacking in them. This was definitely the case for me, as I continued to use the oil it lifted frequency and my emotions so that I was able to find good in other things in life and I continued to build upon that.
I started to focus on a couple of verses from the bible.
"No one can serve two masters, either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?"
I was raised to believe that this meant if you serve God you must lack money, but now let's look at these two verses through the eyes of the law of vibration, which was created by God, this law tells us that what we focus on we attract. When we worry and fret about not having enough we attract more lack. This is why the God of creation is telling us to focus on him and not on the things we need.
When we focus on the one who is Love, we raise our frequency. Love is the highest frequency and putting our attention on love raises ours and attracts more love and abundance. You cannot have abundance and lack at the same time, which one would you prefer?
Today I am happily living a life I previously only dreamt about and it is my desire to help others who are struggling. I wish you a day of all the blessings you desire.
