We will attempt to  heal by making others the problem, by making  life the problem, by giving away our own power to other people and other things. Long ago most of us learned a very profound truth, but it seldom stayed with us.  Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. People and events in life can physically hurt us. A slap, a car accident, disease, and other such events can hurt our bodies. These things can break our very bones. Yet, in truth, what others think, what they think about us, these beliefs can truly not hurt us. These beliefs only have the power that we give them. In childhood, when we did not know differently, many beliefs that we learned and experienced hurt us. Wounded us. And wounded us very deeply. This was only because we gave power to the beliefs. They were usually from our mom or dad, or someone very dear to us. We put trust in these people. We put trust in what they were passing on to us. We didn t know any better. As a young , human child we couldn t know any better. That is why we are a child, to learn. Learn what is true and what is not true. What was not true that we learned in our childhood not only hurt us and wounded us, but it also created a process that would eventually heal us. As we were wounded as children, these wounds affected our body as well as our hearts and minds. The body became traumatized. According to ancient wisdom, it became traumatized in very specific locations that were connected to the nature of the trauma. For instance, if we were traumatized byCHNKWKS NјџџџџTEXTTEXT’AFDPPFDPPDFDPCFDPCFSTSHSTSHHSTSHSTSHH2SYIDSYIDPHSGP SGP dHINK INK hHBTEPPLC lHBTECPLC „HFONTFONTœHTSTRSPLC №H:PRNTWNPR*IPFRAMFRAMzLˆTITLTITLM0DOP DOP 2M"blem, by giving away our own power to other peThe Five Traditional Stages of Healing Stage 1: Awareness Awareness that there is something to be healed, (physical, emotional and/or psychological.) As opposed to being unaware or unconscious. This is said to be the essence of all healing. Awareness. It is like opening a door to allow, to welcome a healing process to begin. All the ancient traditions, and now even modern scientific confirmation, has told us that the energy of life, that which creates-sustains-heals all living things, that life force is Conscious. This consciousness is said to be a perfect knowing, an all encompassing understanding . This consciousness is said to possess all the power of the universe. This consciousness is said to be love, peace, compassion, bliss. The true understanding of the healing process is that this Consciousness is what does the healing. It is not a pill, not a surgical procedure, not a manipulation done by a human hand or a machine, it is this power and the complete understanding of how and when to use this loving power, this is healing; the power, love and knowledge of Consciousness. So the first step is to allow this Consciousness to  work on what needs to be healed. The process of awareness is this allowing. Opening the door of our being to this healing energy that is simply known as Consciousness. Stage 2: Acceptance and Commitment Once we have the awareness of an imbalance in our being, once the process is started, we can then add our own self effort to the work of the healing energy, of Consciousness. What we can add is our commitment. Commitment comes from acceptance. Until we completely accept our internal issues and processes, until we completely accept that it is ultimately our self effort, along the learning that  You can t do anything right. , that would traumatize our bodies in possibly the low back, forearms and diaphragm. The low back is said to be where we store the traumas that connect to not being good enough, being a  loser. The low back is where all of the learned  put downs or criticisms collapse the spine. The forearm is where we are said to store the traumas associated with fear of doing the wrong thing, making a mistake, and fear of being punished (for making a mistake.) The diaphragm is where we attempt to process or  digest emotions. When the emotions are too much for us to process, then the diaphragm may contract or spasm. We often experience this and may call it  knots in my stomach or  butterflies in my stomach. By having these traumas be often repeated during childhood, these areas tend to develop what is called a  holding pattern, or a  frozen pattern. What is actually happening is that the trauma to the tissues are causing them to become denser or more fibrous. This is the  knot or the  holding or the  tension . Because our body is kept alive by Life Energy, these trauma patterns will affect the open and free flow of Life Energy as it moves throughout the body. When the Life Energy comes to one of these areas of trauma, the energy cannot easily flow through the traumatized area. The traumatized area creates a  resistance to the flow. This is actually true on a scientific level. We can scientifically find the flow of this Life Energy with monitoring devices. We can find where it is meeting a resistance. Energy is electro-magnetic. The blockages caused by trauma create a resistance in the path of the electrical energy. This resistance to the flow creates a dam effect. On one side of the resistance there is a building up of the energy. On the other side there is a lack of energy. Where this electro-magnetic energy is built up, or excessive, there is a magnetic field that is created by this build up of energy. Energy is electro-magnetic. Because nature is a system of balance, the Life Energy that is the Conscious energy of Nature, will be attracted magnetically to this buildup in our body. Because this Life Energy is Conscious, it will know and will draw to us, just like magnets, what is totally appropriate for our healing. Since we have many varieties of blockage that are created by our learned  delusions , there will be different healing experiences that will be drawn to us. These may come as obvious lessons. They may be subtle. They may seem like situations that are not  our fault. Yet they are all there to show us what needs to be healed. It is said that Nature will either give us its abundance, harmony and balance; or an opportunity to heal what is in the way of Nature s gifts. Commitment is accepting one s responsibility in the process of healing, and making the choice to work with it versus avoiding or denying . (i.e. the moment one says,  Okay, I am going to do what I need to do in order to heal. ) Stage 3: Exploration This is the  peeling of the onion stage. It is the exploration and discovery of all the various layers and dimensions that relate to the specific issue or pattern being addressed. Through the act of  peeling away, one gets closer and closer to the  core of the onion, (the root of the issue) where the deepest and most profound healing can take place. The duration of this stage is unique to each individual. For some, this stage might last several weeks, for others, several months, or even years. Stage 4: Release The release stage always impacts the body, the mind and the emotions, either directly or indirectly. This stage often includes a discharge of emotion, a significant psychological  shift or awareness, and a physical shift or change. Stage 5: Integration This is an essential and necessary part of healing. It is the conscious choice to incorporate the new insights and awarenesses into one s day to day life. After the integration stage, a new healing cycle can begin, starting again with awareness (stage 1). It is possible to experience all five stages of healing in one yoga therapy session, but for most people, the first few sessions (2-5) are about exploring the beginning layers of the onion. People often wonder,  How long does it take to heal? How many sessions do I need? The reality is that healing takes time, and the process is different for each individual. My desire is to honor each person s unique process to the best of my ability, and to serve them on their path to wholeness. For me, it is a great joy and gift to be apart of the healing process, and so I look forward to our work together. se may come as obvious lessons.
