Quintessential Alchemy Healing Arts

Something for us all to ponder...

🙏🏼

"Beneath the surface of the protective parts of trauma survivors there exists an undamaged essence, a Self that is confident, curious, and calm, a Self that has been sheltered from destruction by the various protectors that have emerged in their efforts to ensure survival. Once those protectors trust that it is safe to separate, the Self will spontaneously emerge, and the parts can be enlisted in the healing proces."

~ Bessel van der Kolk

“Trauma is in the body, not in the event”

"Our earliest unintegrated lived experiences are carried with us throughout our adult lives. They are held both within the body and our subconscious mind. The outward expression of these trapped energies often manifest as self sabotage, cognitive issues (learning difficulties, and memory loss), relationship issues, hyper aroused states (anxiety), disruptive behavior, pathologies, depression, negative thinking, etc… these outward manifestations often form the basis of our identity, “who we think we are”, and how we appear to the world. These energies when not channeled properly have the potential to diminish self worth and dramatically change the course of a persons life, as they are living for their wounds not the truth of who they are.
As a response to traumas, we form complex survival mechanisms aka personality traits that veil the truth of who we are. We embody a blue print that solely manifests for self preservation rather than divine alignment. A person stricken with grief because of the loss of a primary care giver may manifest that grief later in life as an inability to form intimate connections with others. This person could be described as aloof or cold. Is this outward manifestation who they innately are? No. But it appears that way.
It is not only our upbringing however that can be blamed for our nervous systems being highjacked and our inner children running amok. Popular culture, endocrine disrupters, fear programming, violence portrayed on our screens, social media and much more only further keep us in our wounds and out of alignment with our authentic selves.There are no quick fixes for a wounded inner child. But there are definitely many paths toward mastery over its outward expressions in a way that is empowering rather than disempowering. It is fully possible to live in your divine blueprint and not from survival. To come from a place of wholeness. Commit to your unraveling of that which is not you, connect to what lS you."
