The first of occasional posts about experiences I have had where my conscious awareness expanded beyond ‘normal’ reality. Those who know me, know that I am grounded, and work powerfully with energy from the intersection of science and spirituality. This post is about an experience of being in both normal reality and the fairy kingdom concurrently.
When we talk about someone having ‘bad energy’, we miss the entire point of owning our choices, and understanding resonance, perspective and preference. Bad energy is a New Age fallacy and can generate lazy thinking and inappropriate judgments of others.
As the client moves from sovereignty and autonomy into thriving, their awareness is integrated, the trauma story is not forgotten, it’s simply not the driver of how the client engages with themselves, others, and their experiences. Healing continues from a joyful place of alignment and conscious awareness.
It’s a sacred privilege to witness clients as they begin to achieve a sense of self that is not defined by their trauma experience. These good people are finding their sovereignty, and actualizing a life they conscious choose instead of reacting from the energy of old stories and experiences.
When embodiment is assured, the active process of releasing the bound up energy of the traumatic events and experiences can commence. Energy clearing and release work is iterative, and focalized with an intention that speaks to healing, evolution and thriving.
When trauma occurs, one strategy or approach for managing the emotional chaos, upset and difficulty is to dissociate. In energetic terms, this is known as disembodiment. To heal from trauma, embodiment is essential.
