When
we experience trauma or loss, our psyche becomes marked by the experience.
Even if we block out conscious memory, the psyche holds an energetic
imprint of the event. When we encounter new situations that are energetically
similar to the original trauma, the imprint/memory becomes stimulated.
Our perception of a new event is then filtered and effected by the
memory of a previous experience, and we act accordingly. This is usually
done unconsciously.
Strange
as it sounds, this is part of the healing cycle of the psyche. For
example, all of us have experiences of physical healing from cuts
and bruises; the body's basic programming is to go toward health.
Similarly, the psyche is intended to be self-healing from the battering
we take from life experiences. but the psyche's way of healing is
a little different from the body.
Let's
say you want to learn a new dance. You stumble through the steps initially,
but you are determined to become good at it. You repeat the steps,
rehearsing until your movements are fluid, and your mind and body
learn the dance. Repetition results in learning.
In
the same way, the psyche learns by repetition. The psychic imprint
of the original trauma has a charge, and acts as a magnet, attracting
situations similar to the original injury. It's as if the psyche says,
"I didn't move successfully through my previous experience of
X. But if I had another chance, I know I could do it better. I want
to learn how to do this."
Unfortunately
for us, healing trauma and healing the psyche do not happen so neatly.
We are not taught how to release trauma when it occurs. We are not
taught about the principle of trauma repetition. So when we have not
healed the original trauma, and we attract a similar experience, we
generally go through it and are re-injured. The new trauma layers
on top of the first. Then we attract yet another repetition, and it
happens again, over and over, creating a mess, and a lot of pain.
The impulse of the psyche to heal by repetition and learning is correct
and intact. Missing are the skills needed to release the trauma, which
would support the learning and healing.
The
idea of a psychic or energetic imprint is found in other cultures,
and native medicine traditions. In the East Indian culture, the Sanskrit
word samscara translates as "scar of the soul".
This imprint in the energy field acts as a magnet to attract further
experience that is thematically similar, until the psychic scar can
be healed and released. This is the foundation to what is called karma.
Spirit Release clears out the energetic material which has been acting
as a psychic magnet to repeated injury. See Spirit

Western
Science
In
the west, neurobiology and somatic psychology are beginning to understand
how the body holds trauma memory in fixed patterns. Sensorimotor techniques such
as Somatic Experiencing™ and Brainspotting™ are
emerging to support the body/mind in releasing the trauma patterns
and finding relief, no longer attracting repetition of trauma experiences.
An
understanding of trauma is helpful in understanding how entities are
able to enter the energy field. Here is a brief but somewhat technical
explanation of trauma as viewed by current research:
Trauma:
There Are Two Types
Type
1: Developmental trauma
Is determined by the maturity of the nervous system and stage of life.
Children and teenagers are not yet physically mature nor emotionally mature
enough to handle certain experiences.The elderly or the sick are often
not able to handle certain experiences.
Type 2: Shock trauma
Such as car accident, natural disaster, domestic violence, war, sudden
loss. This includes both having the experience or witnessing it happening
to another.
The Primary Principle in understanding trauma is:
Trauma
is in the nervous system, not in the event.
Trauma
occurs when there is more activation than can be successfully
discharged, and the nervous system becomes overwhelmed.
Trauma
can be cumulative; new trauma can layer over old trauma.
The ability to discharge trauma varies from person to person.
The ability
to discharge naturally and effectively is also affected by these elements:
- Inherited genetic strength can be variable
Resourcefulness is transferred through the generations.
Trauma residue is also transferred through the generations.
- Stress in
the womb
Parasympathetic system (the ability to calm) does not form until
after birth. Thus the unborn child in utero experiences the mother’s
experiences as its own.
- Stress in the
first 18 months of life
The young child builds its parasympathetic system by mimicking the
nervous system of its primary caretaker, for good or for bad.
