Recovering from a Traumatic Experience: SOS For Collapse ~
After a traumatic experience many people feel lost, shattered or fragmented and if they don’t get a chance to reintegrate, their power and life force can easily get drained and collapse.
Moreover, if the problem isn’t addressed fairly quickly, the pattern can become ingrained, making the individual more susceptible to long-term poor health, anxiety, hopelessness and/or feeling disconnected.
Going through Recovering from a Traumatic Experience is a natural way to reclaim wholeness and quickly reconnect fragmented parts of your true Essence.
By reducing the impact of shock and fear on the nervous system, patterns of hopelessness can be dispelled before they get a chance to become habitual.
Use this self-care formula when you are:
- Feeling lost, scattered or out of balance
- Anxious or upset by an experience that’s overwhelmed you
- Weakened and want to regain your strength
- Disoriented due to a radical change
- Triggered by the memory of a traumatic event
- Having a flashback or out of body experience.
- Going through a major reorganization of consciousness.
Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS symbol.
Here’s how it works: Simply go through the formula while you follow the directions. Gaze softly at each image and notice any thoughts or feelings you might have in response to the words that accompany them. Some people like to write down their insights to share with a trusted counselor or friend.
You might also want to use this formula like a prayer or request for help. Remember to remain open though, because help doesn’t always come in the way we expect it to!
Caution: The use of this self-care formula is not intended to take the place of appropriate medical and/or psychiatric care when dealing with trauma and recovery. If you are having thoughts of suicide or extreme panic, call 988 or seek help immediately.

Special Applications:
Recovering from a Traumatic Event is a special self-care formula that can be profoundly useful in several difficult circumstances:
- Energy Cascading
Use it to reconstruct aura integrity when a person’s energy system collapses under extreme stress. Learn more beginning on page 14 – PTSD and the Subtle Energy System. - Soul Retrieval
This formula frequently works to bring a dissociated person back into their body. Scattered soul fragments can be recovered and awareness restored to the mind. - Clearing Trauma from Abandoned Dogs, Cats or other Animals
Place your hands on the animal’s heart or chest area and go through the formula imagining that you’re beaming the symbols into them, helping them to recover quickly. - Preparing for a Peaceful Transition
Use for anyone who might die or is preparing for their transition. Simply beam the sequence of symbols towards them and their energy field will organize itself for a peaceful transition in alignment with their Soul.
– Reiki assists in all these processes. Use the Distant Healing Symbol.
