Are You Experiencing the Same Life Challenges Over and Over?
Not long ago I was conducting one of my training teleclasses in
my Energy Healing Facilitator Training series. When we got to a
place where I needed to demonstrate one of the processes, I
asked for a volunteer student from the group who was willing to
use a real issue for the demonstration.
A student volunteered, and her issue was a lot of anger she had
been feeling toward her husband, for his way of treating her in
the marriage.
As the student and I went through the short process, which was
about releasing the cause of the anger, she suddenly had the
realization that this pattern in her husband was exactly the
same pattern that she experience with her father in her
childhood. In that moment we were able to release a lot of that
old charge.
She later expressed to the class that she had never made that
connection of the present marital problem and her very similar
childhood experience.
I'm relating the above here with my student's permission. And
the reason I'm writing about it is to illustrate that this is
not an isolated event. Rather it is quite common.
In my individual telephone client sessions, often the client has
a "eureka moment" during the process, and sees quite clearly
where the "roots" of the issue came from. In fact, it is my
belief that every current issue or problem in our life stems
from childhood trauma or indoctrination of one sort or another.
These childhood events are carried on a subconscious level, and
the memory literally resides in the cells of our body.
When I'm speaking of "trauma" here, I don't mean only physical
trauma. When we are very young, we are extremely impressionable
and vulnerable, and we take in words and energy on a very deep
level as the absolute "truth". So, in our early years, we can
experience emotional trauma just as deeply as physical trauma,
often simply from hearing unkind words from the adults around
us.
Simple neglect in early childhood can create traumatic messages
for us. And it makes no difference if the words were unintended,
or that our parents may have loved us deeply. There is still
some limiting belief that is created in us, and remains
operative in us, until such time as it is healed and integrated
into our being.
So if you are currently experiencing an ongoing emotional
reaction to someone, or some recurring situation in your life,
it is helpful to understand that there are deeper roots, usually
stemming from family of origin events. These deeper roots are
held in the cells of our body, and although they can be healed,
they cannot be healed simply by changing our current life
circumstances.
This explains why so many of us tend to replicate one similar
life situation after another. We see this so clearly in the
areas of relationships and/or prosperity, where we often
seemingly resolve a problem situation, only to go on to create
another one just like the last. It was Einstein who said
"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness
that created them." My belief is that, in resolving life
challenges, we cannot solve them only at the level they are
presently showing up in the world.
We must lift those problems out along with the deeper roots that
created them. When we are finally able to do that, the core
issues finally become neutralized. At that point we are truly
healed, and truly free!
