Supposed to be on a LinkedIn break but felt compelled to write about this...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm convinced that each and every one of us experienced childhood trauma. Trauma is another word for hurt. And we've deepened its power by carrying it with us our entire life.
Things such as reward and punishment, being constantly measured against educational and health standards, cultural standards, biases, handed-down traditions and ways of belief... all of these are a form of psychological trauma - I would call, psychological suicide.
Play nurtures our natural state of being whether it is playing a musical instrument, playing outside, playing with words, playing with friends, etc.... We are gradually conditioned out of this state and told it's childish and yet, it's what we naturally do when we are free.
The good news is that you can see the illusion of how the ego-self has developed in our psyche. How it plays into our lives daily causing tiredness and fatigue, stress, anxiety. If you do, you will also see that it can be put aside so that it doesn't interrupt the 'now', which is where qualities of joy, play, and creativity blossom.
We are really awesome people - we just forget sometimes.
In my up-coming book on the "HEALING POWER OF SILENCE", I'll show you how to watch seven? patterns of the mind that takes away your natural ability to shine in the world. I'll guide you through conversations/dialogues with yourself to deepen the understanding, and show you how the relinquishing the brain of the burden of an ego-self has healed financial, physical, and emotional trauma in my own life.
Looking forward to sharing it with you soon!
Love and light,
GC
