Recovering from Trauma

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.

SOS Recovering from a Traumatic ExperienceGoing through Recovering from a Traumatic Experience helps to quickly reconnect fragmented parts of your Essence and energy. 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.

Recovering from a Traumatic Experience - 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.

Healing Estranged Relationships

Emotional Healing for Your Estranged Relationship

Sometimes there’s so much going on – a big event, a holiday, an important decision – it seems impossible to get along with family members or even want to be around them! Matters can get even worse if hurt feelings, divorces and painful news or breakups are involved.

Emotional entanglements from estranged relationships are more frequent than you would like to think and you may feel powerless about it. Distracted, even frenzied in one moment and utterly depressed in the next. 

You might be asking yourself:

How Can I Maintain My Inner Light in the Face of Lost Hopes, Betrayal and Hurt Feelings?

Clearing the Damage of Estranged Relationships Begins in Your Mind

Sometimes there’s so much going on the dynamics of a family, it seems impossible to let go of our conditioning and allow something different to happen in our adult relationships. 

Emotional entanglements established early in life can be very stubborn and you may feel powerless. However, there is a way to free yourself and get some conflict resolution using the Intuitive Learning Circles and symbols below with your imagination.

Step One:

As you gaze softly at this symbol, think about an estranged relationship involving your family, a love relationship or your community that just doesn’t seem to get better, no matter what you try. 

Use the Circlel to help you visualize what’s going on very clearly.

 

Step Two:
Now we’re going to use your imagination to clear the emotional shock and entanglements you have around this situation.
Look at the Circle and imagine that you’re traveling down a road and you come to a break in the path.
It may be a hole or a chasm that divides you from where you want to go.

How frustrating it is to know where you want to go, yet be unable to move forward!
Relax for a few moments, while you let this Circle help you free up how you’re thinking about your situation. It can help to imagine the situation melting away. Like a cube of ice melting under the Sun.

 

Step Three:
Let’s suppose that by going through the following sequence of symbols, you’ll be able to bridge the gap or clear the blockage that prevents you from continuing on your way. Just follow the easy directions and you’ll feel better by the end of the exercise.

Look at this symbol for a few minutes and imagine that you are untangling a messy string of holiday lights.


Visualize that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Stay with it until the lights are all straightened out and ready to be hung.

 

Step Four:
Imagine that you’re playing alone as you might have when you were a child and there are dozens of little children nearby, fighting over presents.
As you look at this symbol, imagine that the healthy grown up in you is blowing a whistle or horn.


As if awakened from a nightmare, the children stop fighting and begin to play quietly with each other – and with you.
Make sure that all aspects of your Essential Self have also heard your call and are cooperating.

 

Step Five:
Now imagine a mountain with a large cave and other holes located along it’s side.
Presently, you become aware that there are people hiding away in them.
Shine a healing light on them to signal that it’s safe to come out.

Gently invite them to join the other children and play with each other out in the light of day.

 

Step Six:
Imagine that you’re watching a crowd of people hovering around a terrible accident and totally consumed by it.
A young baby is lovingly carried in a blanket pulling their attention away.
The people turn their attention to the glowing beauty of this young child and they all become joyfully immersed in the welfare of this new life.


Are all aspects of your Essential Self able to follow suit?

 

Step Seven:
Now imagine that you’re in a large hall with dark rooms off to the side with people crowded into them.
Imagine the doors opening, allowing the people out into the hall where they have room to move and enjoy themselves.
Joyful music fills the hall and the people begin dancing in whatever way they like. Some people find new partners and begin dancing romantically.


You can use this positive affirmation to help:

“I dispel despair, hatred and blame. I can easily access lightness, joy and hope.”

What else would you like to empower?

 

Step Eight:
Imagine a group of adults sitting around the table, arguing about who is right.
As you look at this symbol, let the picture of it move further and further away until it disappears completely.

Replace the image with friendly people talking and working together cooperatively and with respect.
Make sure that all aspects of your Essential Self have also let the image go and are ready to move on to positive solutions.

 

Step Nine:
Now imagine a dangerous scene that comes to mind – either experienced or imaginary.
Allow your thoughts to lift up and connect with the consciousness of Hope.
You are surrounded by Love and protection.
Help arrives and the scene is dispelled completely.

Let yourself rest in that safe space for a few moments.

 

Step Ten:
Imagine you’re back at the path again. How has it changed?
Is the break or chasm still there?


Use some positive affirmations with additional symbols from The Essential Human to clear up any remaining emotional confusion:
“I release all false information. My thinking is now clear.”
Choose between numbers 1 – 42 and make corrections one at a time in the order they come to you.

 

Step Eleven:
To complete the game, play with Hummingbird Medicine and this affirmation to make room for more joy and forgiveness:

“I decide to follow the most joyful path as I heal this estranged relationship.”

Congratulations!
You have successfully used your imagination with these healing symbols to detach from stubborn memories and reframe emotional patterns in your mind. Now you can relax and unwind, knowing that you’ve found meaningful healing for your estranged relationship and a path forward.

Notice how much better you feel when you’re relieved from the tension! The next time you deal with this situation, notice if the dynamics have changed for you.

Stabilize During A Shocking Event

This self-care formula uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for relief during extreme weather crisis or other shocking events:  

SOS- Shocking Event

If you are living through a shocking event:

  • Witnessing traumatic experiences
  • Experiencing an environmental disaster
  • Disoriented by personal or environmental upheaval
  • Feeling scattered, surprised, scared or vulnerable
  • Exposed to repeated emergency situations
  • Having trouble thinking or planning clearly.

This SOS self-care formula is a form of self-hypnosis combined with energy healing that has been used for resolving shock, enhancing inner guidance and facilitating positive change since 2001. This particular formula offers a gentle opportunity to process ongoing difficult experiences, manage emotional stress and explore positive ways to respond to unexpected and shocking events.

SOS- Resolving Shock from Traumatic Events

Any person who’s going through extreme weather related events or a crisis in their environment can experience disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. Even people who are witness to traumatic experiences can get caught up in the energy of the event. That includes family members, friends, therapists, clergy and other emergency responders.

The shock response is natural and not a sign of spiritual, mental or emotional weakness. It’s an important way that the mind protects itself. Nevertheless, if a person who’s going through a shocking event doesn’t get a chance to relax and separate from the experience – or if they’re not able to – serious problems can develop, including ongoing symptoms of ptsd including nightmares, flashbacks and a chronic fear of the future. 

Scattered energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t think of anything positive,” “My life was shattered,”  “I feel so drained” or “I just don’t know what to do,” describe the experience of ongoing, unresolved shock. Alternately, a person may put on a false front of cheerfulness and optimism, only to have their health suffer later.

If any of the above seems familiar, you can go through this formula to help you stabilize your mind and access your own innate healing abilities. Simply follow the directions step by step so you can monitor your energy and take the steps that are needed to move forward safely.

Mind Body IntegrationMind Body Integration

The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. As you go through the steps, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body when you gaze at each Circle. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you integrate your thinking more fully so that you can be more creative. If you have any negative self-talk, let it go by breathing through it.

Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!

Stabilize During a Shocking Event

Step One:

Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.

Imagine you can use it to focus in on a difficult or painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, focus on how “blank” it is. You may get a conscious image or message, or you may not.

Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, imagine that it’s like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light.
Allow it to melt until it’s completely gone.
Check for other blockages, worries or conflicts that you can do the same with.

 

Step Two:

In situations like this, there’s too much going on and you don’t want to scatter. Your mind may have too many windows open – like on a computer screen.

Let this Circle help you close the tabs in your mind to help you feel better and more contained.

 

Step Three:

The environment is changing and you need to protect yourself. Relax with this symbol and close down all harmful energy channels that your mind or body may be open and vulnerable to. Take all the time that you need.

If you like, ask your Soul for divine protection.

 

Step Four:

Remember to stay hydrated. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of fresh water. If you swish it around in your mouth before you swallow, the water will go where it needs to go faster and more efficiently.

Water is your good friend. Especially now!

 

Step Five:

Consider all that’s going on in your life. A lot is changing.
Use this Circle to gently contemplate the situation so you can gather up your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical resources.

What is the most important thing for you to keep in mind?

 

Step Six:

Your senses may have gotten knocked out of balance. Reconnect with them and focus on being present. Use them to become aware of your body and what you need right now.

Re-orient yourself in your environment, as it is now.

Take whatever time you need to focus on actions that will bring you back into balance and benefit your well-being. You may want to write ideas down because it’s easy to forget.

 

Step Seven:

Your energy probably needs some balancing. Go through this short sequence to make repairs and get back in order:

A) Get help clearing your energy field of toxins. Use this Key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with smoke, chemicals or other negative energies.

Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

 

B) When a person is under extreme stress, their energy can become blocked, scattered, reversed or even shut down completely.

Let this Key help you make corrections and repair any glitches, holes or jagged energies in your system.

Keep relaxing with it until the energy smooths out and you begin to sense the calming energy of your Soul coming through.

 

C) Keep your wits about you. Clear away dark and heavy thoughts.

Use this Circle to imagine you can infuse your body with light and Love. Doing so will help to remove fear, negativity and darkness from your personal energy.

Dispense with the darkness by sending it to the Light for purification.

 

D) Bring your attention to your own heart center. Imagine you can connect with your Source and activate the Light that lives within you.
You are never alone.

 

Step Eight:

Now it’s time to turn down the volume on all the noise from outside. As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level.

Not too high and not too low – just right.

Soon you will be able to hear that calm, gentle voice inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you.

Let yourself be sad if you need to be. Tears are a sign of letting go of shock.

 

Step Nine:

It also helps to open and close your hands to get more present. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help whenever you want to stabilize during a shocking event. 

 

Step Ten:

Now you can let your nervous system calm down too. Slow down and listen to the rhythm of your heart.
You’re feeling better with every breath you take.

Stretch or move around in any way that you instinctively feel you need.

 

Step Eleven:

Oftentimes, going through a shocking event requires a change in priorities. There may be certain plans, ideas or thoughts that take you back into extreme distress. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is distressing you.

Simply imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like dark clouds or a tangled maze of confusion.

Surrender the darkness into the pure light of the Sun and let the maze dissolve completely.

You’ll know that you’re done when your mind feels clear enough to imagine standing in a beautiful field with the Sun shining down upon you.

Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!

 

Step Twelve:

Before you finish with this formula, take a minute to seal and heal any holes, leaks or passageways that have opened up during this process.
All harmful openings are sealed and healed.

Closure for Mind Body Healing

Do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Your mind and nervous system need closure.

 

Step Thirteen:

Finally, let your heart recover. This Key helps you balance your heart energy and clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and take your time.

 

Feel any remaining heaviness lifting up and out of your heart. Let it radiate out to the Light where it can be transformed.

Take care of yourself and remember that you are loved.
