Back in the day when I began teaching psychic and intuitive development and the Tarot, a few weeks into my groups, I began noticing a theme. This theme would come two or three days before each group. I would begin noticing pressure building and notice that I was feeling much. Eventually, this pressure and feeling would become the subject for my next class. I would also begin to notice that my students would be calling to share that they were feeling this same pressure building inside of them. I would soon learn that not only were we all interconnected to this inner calling, we were guided to the thing that we most needed to learn or understand shared in our next group.

Now with this being shared, within the last two weeks, I have begun to notice a similar theme taking place. I am receiving many emails and questions about healing traumas and pain from our past experiences...and healing them is becoming a must. I am also aware of the fact that we just entered through an inner portal to the 11:11 ~ an inner journey to awakening,( for another article) but it was also Veterans Day and I thought about all the people that have fought in wars; the sacrifices to their lives and their families lives and how everything is forever changed for each and everyone of them.

I am not a psychologist, however, as a healer, minister, and an ultra sensitive empath, with 27 years of experience, to a sometimes very inner and intense journey and with many, many of my own childhood experiences, I am here to share that it is vitally and critically crucial to our healing, that we find the absolutely right people to talk and walk us through our experiences. What I share with clients, is that although we cannot get rid of our traumas and pain from our past, if we allow and give ourselves permission to heal, we are able to peacefully move forward in our lives.

In the past, as a society, it was just not cool or acceptable to talk about the horrors that many have experienced. Back in the day, witnessing the many traumas and pain in my house and childhood, healing was about medication and shutting off. As I began to notice, this was absolutely not a good way to heal, in fact, the pressure of not healing would build so much pressure, that eventually there was no way to get around the proverbial elephant in the room...things just got worse...

As a empathic healer and polarity integrator, not talking about the experience with the right person(s) can be most detrimental to our well being. If we do not take the time to begin our healing, this becomes stuck energy in our thoughts, feelings and emotions, never mind how our tissues and cells are having this experience and most probably how are our relationships and our decision making process being affected, also?

Although I am most practical about the journey that I am on, I am not one of those people that can say that everything happens for a reason: because what could be the reason be for a child to be to be molested, beaten or touched most inappropriately? What is the reason for many to loose their lives in a war? I mean really, the list is endless, however, the point remains the same, we must talk to the right people to bring healing to our lives.

We must allow ourselves to grieve at what was lost and taken from us...that is a must to the beginning stages for our healing and we must work with the right person that will allow the room for this to take place. Once we allow this part to take place, it is then, that we become ready to talk about everything that happened. With the right counselor, who specializes in healing trauma, we are eventually given tools for our everyday life...eventually, it becomes time for bodywork to bring our healing full circle.

As an ultra sensitive empath, I highly recommend the healing modalities of cranial sacral therapy, stillpoint, acupuncture and rebirthing. Each of these healing modalities works specifically with your energy deep within the tissues and cells of your body, not to be forgetten is healing for your emotional and spirit bodies as well, allowing for the energies to begin to flow in a balanced and healed way, so that we are better able to function in our lives.

We are living in a very different time now. Mother Earth is shifting her energies, in hopes that we begin to shift and heal from within. Not talking about our pain will not make it go away, and will in fact, push at those buttons until we realize that we are doing more harm than good to our well being. We are in a different time now. Our wholeness comes from accepting everything that makes us human. Giving up our emotions and feelings does not make our life easier, however, makes it more difficult and challenging. Shutting down and shutting off is no longer a viable option to our healing.

And finally, this is a chop wood, carry water experience. It requires our full participation to our healing. If there is an interest in metaphysics, spirituality or consciousness, even better, however, we still must live our very human life, first...most important to building a stronger foundation for anything else that comes after our healing journey begins.

So please, if there is anything that you have been through, find that right person to guide you through your own healing journey...it may not be easy, but with kindness to your journey, from within yourself, it is possible to find our way.
