Do We Understand How to Heal?

Exploring somatic, energetic, and creative healing as a path to deeper self-awareness and transformation.

Do we really understand what trauma is and how healing works?

We are sensitive multilayered and multifaceted beings; one of the significant factors within personal healing involves identifying parts of us which no longer resonate and allowing them to leave. Through different healing techniques, we can feel and sense more fully the presence of ourselves and access deeper healing. Listening carefully to our body, connecting with our spirituality and drawing our awareness to what we feel through art and colour. This process allows us to recognise blockages or things which don’t belong to us within our energy system and release them to find their own space, enabling a deeper connection to our innate self-healing ability.

Identifying what’s happening with people

We live in a fast-paced world and lead incredibly busy lives, interacting with many different people, groups and communities each day. When you finally get time to relax and reflect on the day’s events, have you ever looked back and noticed how certain words or phrases in some conversations landed differently? How some interactions carry a charge that seems disproportionately intense compared to the words used and their meaning?

Some people have a very strong reaction to certain situations and conversations. After careful thought on this topic, an insight arrived in my mind; The words are meant for us, but the energy attached is often connected to something deeper, trauma that is unresolved.

The words are for us, the energy is connected to historic trauma

To look at this clearly, the superficial meaning within the conversation is meant for you. On the surface, you’ve annoyed me, and this is me telling you. “Can you please do this?” or “Can you please stop doing this!” Why do some people have a far stronger reaction than just “OK, no problem”? I believe it’s down to the energy attached, the loaded charge that can sometimes accompany the words, which is not for you. Don’t take it personally. This energy comes from a deep-rooted memory or pain that needed to be shared and needed power and energy, but now, we have the opportunity to resolve it.

This energy often becomes more present when people are irritated, or something trivial is made into a big deal. Again, it is not for you. Don’t take it personally.
