If we don’t look at the relationship between our childhood trauma and our ways of being, we will never grow into adulthood.
We imagine ourselves liberated from trauma, but our trauma is running the show. Every single person I have known who was fixated on oneness, awakening, transcendence, and enlightenment, was fleeing an unresolved childhood.
These flights of fancy were essential coping strategies, but eventually came crashing down to earth.
Because there can be no awakening without healing, no oneness without integration, no transcendence without embodiment.
And when you actually do that work, the most amazing thing happens. You stop looking for it out there, or up there.
You find it right here, in the bones of your being.
Breathing in, breathing out, here we are.
