If you are carrying the pain of childhood neglect, abandonment, or trauma, then you want to commit to healing your younger wounded parts. Maybe you sabotage your efforts right at the cusp of fulfilling your dreams. Or perhaps you have done everything by the book, and yet you feel empty inside - wondering if there's more to life? The Inner Child work demands that you witness & integrate the often ignored, neglected & wounded child parts of you.

If you have been practicing meditation for a while and still struggling with your negative thoughts and emotions, then you want to commit to the psychological healing of your chakras. Don't try to skip the foundational work - that is, of healing one’s emotional body. Instead of obsessing on opening your higher chakras, commit to building a strong container so that you can contain the higher energies (which will open organically).

Trauma is not an event; it's what gets stored in the body as a result of the event at a physical, mental, and emotional level. Supplementing talk therapy with somatic work can help you dissolve years of stored stress & tension from your body whilst restoring your body’s natural healing & restorative ability. Learning to connect with the body & feel safe in your body (which is often a challenge for those with trauma histories) is a superpower, and one you can cultivate.
