CLASS 8 AGENDA
TRAUMA-Be the Light in the Darkness
You can Hold Two Places at Once!!!

• WEEKEND THEME“You must know where you are traveling to…or risk finding yourself in the same spot you began.” Carolyn Eberle, Explorer’s MindWhen doing trauma work, if you don’t keep close at hand the deeper truth of your wholeness, then you risk multiplying the trauma and your negative sense of self and not transforming this low vibrational consciousness back to Core Being. Remember that you are feeling the emotional pain and difficult sensations to melt the clouds and reconnect to the metaphorical sun of your Core Being. Intention line, positive sense of self and your Enlightened Observer must be your best friends during this process.Yet you won’t make progress if you walk around the emotional pain and don’t touch it. If you let your ego define your safety, you will never be able to do the deeper work! The ego keeps you in the false self and defense – so you can’t transform from defense. Defense is the hard shell holding you back, keeping you from the wound. Defense and the ego’s false self keeps you separated from Core Being.Some clients feel they are touching the false self and painful emotions – but they aren’t going deep enough. If you are not making progress, you are either over-identifying and merging with the pain and/or you are not going deep enough into the core pain, beliefs, orienting reflexes and issues.In this class, you move from the intervention process of bringing the energy of the HVC light into the body/mind systems to being so clearly identified as the light that you enter the darkness and your presence of knowing your light melts away the LVC of the dark.
• SECRET CODE FORMULA and 10 STAGES TO MASTERY
  • Stage 4 must be obtained before you have enough High Vibrational Consciousness to transform the energy of emotional pain back to Core Being. This is when you can hold two places at once- the light of Core Being and the darkness of the LVC trauma.
  • Step 5 is when you are so anchored into your lightness that the energy of the LVC trauma shifts back to positive sensations in the body and the emotional bliss of your Core Being. Remember, it is self-love and kindness that gives you the energetic boost to master this skill coupled with acceptance of your hurt, lost and imperfect ego parts.
  • Practice so that you use the 5-steps so your ego is not longer your sense of self. Instead you differentiate from your ego’s false self using the 5-steps all day long so Core Being defines you.
• Power point on trauma healing, polyvagal theory, neruo-science and more.
• STUDENT SKILLS/OUTCOMES
  • Master the interventions taught this week and deepening your understanding of the consciousness skills (EO, CB, Explorer’s Mind; 5 Steps)
  • Master the ability to use your intention line to detach from the pain and maintain a positive sense of self anchored into Core Being and not ego. Your ego can’t ever be in charge of your safety. If it is, it will make defenses choices so it doesn’t ever hurt or die.
  • Discover how ego does not “be” your sense of self. You instead use the 5-steps to differentiate from all ego sense of self and all ego negative talk.
• INTERVENTIONS
  Make a list of the things you are good at and stand up and read them outloud to the group
  Practice working with someone to feel safety within their mind and body
  • Prevent Secondary Wounding and practice hands on shifting the vegus nerve (Polyvagal Theory), holding the light while shifting the trauma
  • Trauma Core Distortion Healing
  • Trauma Grief Cycle Summary
  • Practice letting hand/mind resonate at the trauma and then raising the frequency of hand/mind to transform the trauma

RELEASE, RE‐PATTERN, & REPLACE (R & R2) PROCESS

WEEKEND THEME

Using both body cues and energetic cues can help us track ourselves and our clients better. For instance, if we see a client’s hand move in a repetitive pattern, we can ask them what they are experiencing.

If the hand moves up and down, they can accentuate the movement to explore what it is saying and what emotions it represents. Also, we can track the following body cues:

• breath
• head position
• scanning, looking down or away
• shoulders collapsed
• facial expressions
• feet—soles rolled inward or outward or tucked under
• tight or flaccid muscles
• posture
• body movements—especially eyes, shoulders, hands and feet
• body types as represented by the character structures
• notice our body—it often mirrors what is happening in the client
• promote forward movement of the body and healthy defensive movements
• other

R & R2 Intervention

1. Greeting.
2. Assess client’s resourcing level and where they are in the 10 Me­B Stages of Transformation. Only do positive resourcing if they are not at least Stage 4 of Me­B transformation.
3. Over time, teach clients how to feel safety and trust as a positive sensation in the body.
4. Gradually, teach clients about the 5­Step Mindfulness process and the 3 Rings of Healing. Help them learn how to self regulate their energy field back to Core Being and how to engage their Enlightened Observer and strengthen their Manifest Energy Line.
5. As the session progresses, once clients are ready to do trauma work, begin to guide them into their body/energy system to assess where the trauma is held. (Unless they are at least Stage 4 of Me-B Transformation don’t guide them into the darkness. Instead bring the light into the pain.)
6. Then we can use any of the methods outlined in previous chapters such as:
   • Core Distortion Intervention—on or off the table;
   • Physical movement/exercises to promote healthy body movements and healthy defenses;
   • Trauma Core Distortion Work (below); and
   • Other relevant Interventions taught.

Use our energy tracking techniques to determine which Me­B interventions to implement. Be creative, and explore. Make sure we follow the next steps:

1. Track HVC of clients’ Enlightened Observer and help clients make adjustments if needed.
2. We must base Me-B interventions on what the client tells us and what their body/energy system tells us.
3. We can make sure we help clients release the LVC of trauma.
4. We then help them rewire their Me-B system to a healthier “train track” so they re‐pattern and reorganize to healthy Orienting Responses in all three Me-B systems.
5. Lastly, we can help clients replace the LVC with a higher vibrational frequency and consciousness. Ideally, they will be able to anchor into Core Being.

NOTE: It is important we let clients know that trauma is never fully healed in the therapist’s office. It takes implementing our new Me-B behavior patterns outside the office and in their everyday living environments. As they take the deeper understanding of their trauma and their issues into their love relationships, deeper healing takes place. This is why looking for our Choice Points and implementing them creates deeper peace.

Melting into Trauma R & R2 Sequence

If a Core Distortion does not shift by bringing in a HVC, AND if a client is at least Stage 4 of Me­B Transformation, we can help clients melt into the trauma with their Enlightened Observer and feel the depth of the pain in their body and transform it to HVC.

1. Identify the trauma in all three Me­B systems. Using the Explorer’s Mind, discover any wisdom about the trauma. For instance, what image/belief, child consciousness, emotion, feelings about self and/or Core Distortions does it hold? If we can’t identify it in the mind system, we can at least feel the energy of the trauma as an energy and sensation in the body.
2. Charge the negative energy (through hands-on healing, movement, intention, exercises…any way that works). We connect deeply to the trauma in our body with our Enlightened Observer and charge it with the clear intention that it expand out of our energy field and melt away.

If our Enlightened Observer is strong, the trauma will eventually dissolve so we can then reorganize our negative orienting responses and reorganize and self-regulate our Me-B System back to Core Being. Remember, catharsis is NOT healing. We need to be very aware of this so we don’t strengthen the trauma.

As we energetically charge the trauma, the emotion of it can become overwhelming. Our body may shake, and we can feel deep emotional pain from every cell. If we feel the emotion (sob) from the upper chest, see if we can sob from the solar plexus or lower in the body. Ideally, if we can feel the emotion of the trauma in our pelvis, AND if we are not attached to its negative energy, it will open up our entire Me-B system from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet.

However, it can be very difficult to feel trauma low in our body. This is because energy is denser in the 1st and 2nd chakras than in the higher chakras. Dense energy holds LVC and can feel more painful.

Another reason why it can be difficult to feel trauma lower in the body is that many of us don’t incarnate into our bodies completely. We like to stay in just the upper chakras where the energy can feel more comfortable and safe.

To prevent us from feeling lower in the body, we unconsciously constrict the 5th chakra to prevent too much energy from flowing down to the trauma. If we don’t constrict the 5th, we may unconsciously try to constrict the 4th chakra, the diaphragm or the third chakra. As we are able to open up completely and release the trauma from all our cells (even the ones lower in our body), we can also open up to completely receive our light.

Continue to melt into the trauma with the intention that it diminish. (Our Intention Line needs to be aligned and strong.)

• Assess if we are, or the client is, at an appropriate stage of Me-B transformation with positive ego strength.
• Track if the energy is melting.
• Determine if the Enlightened Observer is strong enough.
• Review the effects of the process on the nervous system (social engagement).
• Promote healthy body defensive movements
• Assess if a HVC is replacing LVC. See if there is any charge of anger that can create a sense of strength and forward movement. Assess if the victim consciousness has shifted to strength and more leader energies. If not, we must do containment and look at any negative intention or ego energy preventing the transformation.

Shifting Developmental Trauma R & R2 Sequence

There are many interventions that shift developmental trauma. We need to assess if a client has regressed to a younger age and then help them return back to adult consciousness. Cues a client is developmentally regressed are:

• voice change, body language, broken Intention line, dissociation,
• body posture,
• lost connection to core,
• structured levels of the field less defined,
• no filters on chakras or less strong filters on the chakras,
• energy system regressed and in defense,
• boundaries changed from normal presentation,
• typical facial expressions altered,
• 2nd and 4th levels of the field activated,
• emotional levels feel young, or
• old unhealthy body movement patterns are manifest.

Step 1: Find where the child consciousness is being held in the body.

Step 2: Ask what it needs? Usually he or she needs love support and acceptance from the adult, and the Core Being. Sometimes it needs to be accepted for all aspects of who he or she is. Also, it may ask for something it can’t receive. For instance, one client wanted to be supported by his mother and father in a healthy and accepting manner. Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to happen in the near future or perhaps at all. In this case, we had to commiserate with the child consciousness and gently let it grieve the fact that its needs would never be met.

Step 3: Bring in the HVC of our adult consciousness and Core Being to sooth and meet the needs of the child. Inviting the child to connect to his or her just anger is also helpful. The anger creates more charge in the field so more energy is available to wash away the trauma. In addition, anger when connected with the HVC of our Enlightened Observer becomes personal power and strength. Promote healthy bodily defensive movements. Let the child consciousness know how strong it must be to have survived. Have the child’s self-identity be one of a survivor instead of one of a victim. In all Me-B Systems can the client feel the strength.

If the Enlightened Observer of the client is not strong enough to give the child consciousness support, then we as the Me-B guide need to provide support.

Step 4: Make sure integration of the HVC is felt as a sensation of energy in the body and an understanding in the mind. If the client wasn’t ready to soothe their own child consciousness, later we can discuss with them if that might be a helpful longer-term goal.

Prenatal, Birth, Past Life, and Evolutionary R & R2 Sequence

This is done through table work. Begin by following and supporting a wave of energy that moves throughout the body from the 1st chakra ascending upward and the upper chakras descending downward.

As the charge waves through the body, the client begins to regress. Often this regression creates an urge for them to push. Help them push into the table, ask them to press their knees apart as you hold them together or ask them to press their knees together as you hold them apart. (Repeat this sequence six or more times to build the energy and allow it to move lower in the body.)

This brings the energy deep into the body and builds the charge. We can also have them push against us with their arms or head to deepen the regression. (We don’t create the regression — we follow it.)

We don’t make the wave happen. If a client is ready for this to happen, the wave starts on its own. We just support creating a strong charge of energy to run through them. We also assess them to see if their Enlightened Observer is strong enough so they don’t re-traumatize.

If the client is ready, it often goes past the birth and neonatal phase and into past life and/or ancestral energies. Some ancestral sequences even go further, back through the evolutionary process. I never make a client go anywhere, I just follow the flow and support the energy to unwind and evolve. It is important we are trained in this before we practice it on someone.

Note: If a client wants to know about a past life, I help them “journey” within their body to locate the past life. If they can’t do this on their own, I will do it for them. Shamanic work usually creates a journey by going into the earth or through a hole in the tree. I find the body serves as the instrument for the journey. Sometimes a past life just surfaces and you don’t have to build the energy to bring it to consciousness. This tends to happen most with people who have done a lot of past life work or deep emotional transformational work.

Whatever happens, and wherever the energy takes you, there are three rules to remember:

1. Don’t let the client over-identify with the negative. Track their Enlightened Observer. Also, don’t let the trauma of the client hurt us. Stay grounded and in Core Being.
2. Follow the flow using aligned intention, advanced mindfulness to accurately track the energy and consciousness and eventually invite the presence of Core Being into the client’s Me­B System. Don’t interpret the experience for the client. Let them have their own experience. Only in rare cases do I tell them what I pick up. I do sometimes use certain words in the field to help them go deeper.
3. Always end by bringing in a higher vibration.

5 TASKS OF TRAUMA RECOVERY

1. Accept the Reality of the Trauma. Name what has happened and notice where in the body we might be holding it. If we can’t notice where in the body it is held, then imagine where it might be held.
2. Feel the Feelings of Trauma as Sensations in the Body — Let the Energy of Trauma Move Through Us, But Don’t Identify With It. See, visualize and sense the trauma as energy that we must move through versus being stuck in it. Once we move through those feelings and images of trauma, we then move toward the next step of recovery. Remember to separate what we are experiencing from the deeper truth of who we are. In other words, don’t be the trauma we are experiencing. Remember we are much more than the energy, feelings or sensations moving through us.
3. Consider What Could Replace the Trauma. If a part of our psyche, body physiology, thought process is attached to or saturated with the energy of trauma—imagine what could possibly take the place of the negative energy. What could replace the past with a positive and healthy future? Imagine how it might feel in our body, mind and soul. Imagine how our body might move and our thoughts and energy reorganize in the absence of trauma. Let the body move and our Procedural Memory reorganize.
4. Reinvest in Life. Readjust to the environment without the trauma. Find our self again and be the new us in the world. Emerge from the Cocoon! Complete of the metaphorical death-rebirth process and discover who you are now.
5. Anchor Into Core Being. The old patterns and ways of thinking and acting may return; if this happens, just don’t attach to them. Instead, anchor into Core Being. Imagine, feel and sense Core Being and our Intention Line. From the place of Core Being and our Intention Line, we can feel trauma, imperfections and defenses—we just don’t attach to them.

Traumatic experiences change us. As we emerge from them, we are forever different. From difficulty the riches can be found. Find the inte

HOMEWORK DUE THE MONDAY BEFORE CLASS 9
Print Name; Class Number and Date on the top of each page, number each page and
use your last name and class as the file name.

1. Practice the trauma interventions.  Write up one of them in the usual format
2. Look at the 8 stages of Trauma Orienting Responses and 7 Stages of Defensive Response. Explore your programmed traumatic responses and what Procedural Learning/memory you have in place. Write up for yourself where the past programming brings you out of balance or in alignment.  Also discuss what you might do to support alignment in all three systems so trauma patterns of the past don’t repeat.

For instance, where is the misalignment felt in the body and what are the particular sensations that represent the misalignment?  How does the misalignment manifest energetically in the auric field and in the intention line?  What is the belief system/false self that supports the misalignment? Name a series of past events that repeat because of it.  Lastly, what is needed to shift it so time and space is altered and the negative past no longer taints the present and you end negative cycles?

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AS YOU ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION

When a traumatic event is so severe that the individual has no recourse but to freeze or submit, the defensive system becomes disorganized and overwhelmed.  The common perpetuation factor in trauma-related disorders appears to be the persistence, even decades later, of altered defensive responses and maladaptive orienting responses (Ogden, Pat; Trauma and the Body, p. 79).  Thus it is important for us (and our clients) to use our Explorer’s Mind and recognize our orienting responses and the maladaptive defensive responses.

3. When is trauma work contra indicated?  What does it mean to be the Light in the Dark verses bringing the light into the darkness?

Procrastination

CORE DISTORTION TRAUMA INTERVENTION

The third Intervention and the other type of Core Distortion Intervention is a trauma Intervention. This is when you and your client’s light of wholeness awakens in the center of the trauma in a manner in which the LVC transforms to HVC.

Not everyone is ready for such a deep and profound intervention. And not every healer is ready to do this intervention with a client. Please read the below counter-indications for this intervention. Over the last decade of teaching this intervention, I’ve found that it can take a few months of doing the previous interventions with a client (in some cases a year or more) before I do this intervention with a client or student. Make sure you and your client are ready for this so you (or the client) doesn’t rewound.

I know some people believe there can be no re-wounding during hands-on energy healing, yet that is just not the case. Please take this seriously and move at the pace that is correct for you. In essence, you will be releasing, re-patterning, replacing the LVC with HVC.

• Release the merging of your client’s self-identity and release your client’s biological programming to the trauma. This helps rewire the brain and body systems (biological consciousness container) become reprogrammed to higher consciousness. In essence you are helping the client individualize, detach and differentiate from the trauma.

• Re-pattern new neuro-networks in the mind, brain and body so the LVC trauma has no energetic or emotional grid to hold onto.

• Replace the trauma with a deep anchor into wisdom, Core Being and positive new way of being in the world so the negative past doesn’t repeat in the present! In essence the LVC is replaced by HVC.

Counter-indications for this intervention and who is the right fit to receive it!

If your client is not able to first connect to their Core Being and also self-identify as Core Being, then you must wait until they have this skill. Remember, you don’t want you or your client to merge with the negative LVC energy. Because if they merge with the LVC it is like spreading black paint throughout their energy field and their sense of self. If this happens, it will create more LVC energy. (See next module for more discussion on this topic!)

Step 1:

Uncover the LVC trauma asking for transformation. Then locate where the LVC trauma is held in the client’s body. It is also useful to know the end game or what it will ultimately transform to embody. Or at least have an idea of where you are headed. Just as if you get trapped in the jungle and it is nice to have a map to lead you out, think about the end game of transformation and keep your eye on the prize!

Because the LVC is one of the layers, know that the negative belief or emotion may change during the course of the healing. You must learn how to track the energy and consciousness so that when the consciousness changes and goes to deeper and deeper levels, you will be able to catch up.
Give yourself time to slowly grow your skills and practice, practice, practice!

Step 2:

Now I want you to actually feel the depth of pain with your hands and mind, but don’t merge with the pain.
Remember, you are feeling it simply to help your client transform it. Let your hands and mind resonate at the pain, then let both of your hands and mind slowly raise their frequency back to Core Being (HVC) of the positive alternative.

Ask your client to also feel the emotional pain and do the same.

Take your time and go slow.

Track the energy field and make sure there is enough HVC in both you and the client so it transforms as opposed to simply re-experiencing and feeling it.

If your client just re-experiences the emotional pain and does so at the same level of consciousness that created the pain, then you are just spreading black paint around!

There is a famous saying from Einstein that you can’t solve a problem with the same consciousness that created the problem. This same principle applies energetically, too.

Assess if it is happening at a higher frequency, even a slightly higher frequency.
Bring in the Enlightened Observer to help. Really let the Enlightened Observer help your client!

Again, the video is a good summary of how you can help them transform it.

And just know that it may not be able to transform completely.

Assess when it can transform as much as possible and when you need to end the intervention. And assess when there is more that can be transformed and you can continue. The video is a great demonstration that explains this!
As always, reach out for support when you need it!

TRANSFORMING CHILD CONSCIOUSNESS INTO HVC

Once a client is at least Stage 4 of Me-B Transformation, we can notice when they have regressed and then work with the energy to help them transform the past and create a positive future. Methods to invoke regression follow.

Use the 5 Steps to help them heal the blocks from them embodying the 3-Skills of Adult Consciousness and thus heal their negative defensive patterning of their attachment system.

Below are some tips to help them regress to a younger place. This may or may not be necessary.

Repetitive/Deep Breathing

Using deep repetitive breathing techniques can invite the subconscious to emerge. Often times, this process reveals child consciousness, trauma, birth challenges, and/or past life issues. There are many breath work workshops that train people in this area. Some use a plastic coke bottle with the bottom cut out. They breathe through the open spout for 15 minutes deeply to create the regression. Other techniques simple support sustained continuous deep breathing. It is important to never do this alone, under the influence and/or without a trained supporter.

Notice Triggers

Triggers often have their origin in child consciousness and/ or trauma. A dialogue intervention such as, “I noticed you were triggered.” Or, “Your field seemed to be triggered,” can help the client notice what is happening.

How Old Do You Feel?

When you notice a client is developmentally regressed, you might ask them how old they feel. This often deepens self-awareness and usually deepens them into the regressed experience. If they have an Enlightened Ob­ server, transformation is possible.

Dialogue with the Emotion

Any of these dialogue interventions can lead to a regression.

• “I notice you are feeling an emotion.”
• “That emotion feels strong.”
• “Let’s stay with that feeling and follow it more deeply.”
• “Can we pause here and stay with that emotion?”
• “Keep exploring those feelings.”
• “Let yourself deepen into that emotion.”
• “Feel how young you were when that emotion was strongest.”
• “What message does that emotion bring?”

Any of these dialogues usually brings clients deeper into the emotion or experience and into regression. If not, we can back up and reestablish contact with the client and check our field to make sure we are balanced. It is helpful to self-assess what is going on with us at this time and to assess the defenses/ego strength of the client.
Another method of dialoging with an emotion is to read information about the emotion in the field and to make a comment based on the information we receive. This will gently open the door to their inner child’s needs, feelings or fears. Something like:

• “I wonder if you felt you had to do it all on your own.”
• “Were you able to really let in all that love?”
• “Did you stop believing in yourself?
• “Speaking your truth must have been hard.”

Transformation

Finding and feeling the energy of the wounded child is only the beginning. It can be easy to help someone identify their pain and past issues. (Stage 1­3 of ME­B Transformation.) The real work is to raise the vibration and consciousness of the past by being effective, clean and gentle in the present. Transforming child consciousness can be divided into three main areas:

• negative attachment patterns
• needs that were not met, and
• harm to undo.

Sometimes transformation can be accomplished simply by: (1) isolating a need, and (2) meeting that need.

For instance, having a client speak up for themselves when they couldn’t speak up as a child is a wonderful gift. Giving them the right to say “no” to Mom/Dad and claim their personal space and power back can be very transformative. And, as always, the Me­B guide can check to see if the issue has shifted in all three systems (mind, energy and body).
It could take many sessions to clear these unmet needs, and most likely the work will concern an issue they may have to revisit again, yet at a deeper level. (The issue may arise 100 times, and 100 times we may need to transform it.) The higher the client reaches in the 10 Me­B Stages, the deeper the work we can do be­ cause the client can hold themselves and they know they are not the negativity that moves through them.

• Step one is to notice when the client (or we) are triggered.
• Step two is to feel where in the body the trigger is being held.
• Step three is to isolate what emotion, image or belief is being held there. Then, engaging the HVC of the Enlightened Observer, feel the feelings (levels 2 and 4 of the Auric field) and allow HVC to transform the pain back into Adult Consciousness. If the Enlightened Observer merges with the pain and loses its HVC, then we just create more pain. This is why the person must be at least Stage 4 of Me­B Transformation. They can use any of the techniques taught previously to help transform LVC. Carefully track the field to see if they are charging the negative feelings or transforming them. Do the containment procedure if they get stuck.?

NOTE: As we do the transformation process, remember we need to eventually teach the client to hold a supportive space for themselves. They must be weaned from us and empowered within themselves so the master secure attachment. Help them transition at least to Me‐B Stages 4‐5.

TRANSFORMING CHILD CONSCIOUSNESS Missy had an alcoholic mother and her father abandoned her when she was only one year old. She had no positive mirroring during her childhood and was sexually abused by her mothers’ best friend when the friend was babysitting. During one of our sessions, I noticed Missy’s field was deeply regressed and it felt like she never had the support she needed. I commented, “So, you felt alone and unsupported.” She began to weep. I offered her the chance to receive that support now. I put pillows in my lap and a blanket over her. (I find pillows make it more safe because the boundary between she and I are clearer. Close but not suggestively close.) The weeping continued for a few minutes and then I suggested she might be able to take in the love and support. Her breathing changed, she stopped crying and her chakras began to spin clockwise again as she took in the love and support. This process continued on and off over six months before she could hold this loving Container for herself.

Bring In Adult Consciousness To Comfort the Inner‐Child
Eventually, and as soon as possible, the client will have to master the technique of meeting their own needs by bringing in their own adult to comfort their own inner-child with love or compassion. If we can’t yet do this for ourselves, set a goal to accomplish this skill. Let us not ask a client to do what we can’t do ourselves.

This is a more advanced process and it may take a few sessions (or years) of us “playing” the good enough Mom/Dad, before clients can fulfill that role themselves. There are many methods and styles.

BECOMING OUR ADULT TO OUR WOUNDED CHILD Dorothy was first abandoned by her mom in the hospital after she was born. Two weeks later, her mother eventually reclaimed Dorothy and yet held deep resentment toward her daughter. So deep was the resentment that as Dorothy grew up, her mother emotionally and physically abused her. I began seeing Dorothy at the age of 50. She had been in therapy for over 20 years and was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). She has a strong spiritual and meditation practice that serves to support her, yet she was still shy about being touched, supported and loved. Table work was too intimate for her and it felt overwhelming. Again and again she would regress to a very young age or disassociate, freeze and lose contact with herself. Eventually she was able to hold and send love to her young self. She described this experience as “holding myself as I would hold a baby kitten.” It marked a substantial shift in her personal process and empowerment. Her ability to hold her own inner child transformed her life in a way 20 previous years of therapy had not.

If our child consciousness holds a sexual/physical abuse or neglect issue, the theme may take months (or years) to completely re-pattern and then it may be revisited every year or so but at deeper levels. This is not bad news. Let it just be part of the human reality we must all face again, and again. Besides, the more we visit the same issues, the more refined and effortless our skills become. It is like learning to move from skiing on greens, to blues to black diamonds. As our skills increase, we can master harder challenges.
