Trauma healing, building resilience, spiritual healing, and embodiment. This episode gives a definition of trauma and the cause of trauma, and explains the effects of trauma (disembodiment and the fragmentation of time itself).

It also begins a definition of resilience, which we call spiritual resilience, or the "spiritual warrior" to distinguish it from the cultural misinterpretation of resilience which we could call "toughness", or the "fighter".

This episode breaks down complex concepts into clear definitions and maps to empower you to understand how trauma and resilience work so that you can strengthen yourself.

Stay tuned for Part 2 which goes in depth into spiritual resilience as the deep process of the soul fully entering the body (through spiritual practice, somatic healing, embodiment practices, etc). This is the process of embodiment which occurs through the completion of the incarnation process (some indigenous lineages relate this with soul retrieval). Deepening our incarnation (our embodiment) gives us the ultimate preventative protection from future trauma.

Defining Trauma and Resilience:

Here we are looking at resilience as the result of a process of fully incarnating. Almost all of us have had what I'd call an interruption in the incarnational process. We are not fully embodied and not fully in contact with life. There is a gap between the place where we are currently hovering (soul partially out of body), and the fullness of direct experience awaiting us when we land further into the body and the moment (achieving union between Selves and dimensions). That gap (our partial self-absenting) makes us vulnerable to life's events because here we lack the embodied resilience to handle the high charge to the emotions and the nervous system that traumatic events bring. Finding resilience through deepening our incarnational process helps us heal from past trauma and become stronger to face the present and future. This is the spiritual path as a movement towards intimacy with life, rather than a distancing from it.
