Spiritual Awakening and Trauma (This is holding you back)

In this video, I discuss how your spiritual progress is being slowed down by your traumas. Whether you're suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, and any emotional condition, I believe most of these can be a symptom of trauma. When you are living with trauma, the foundation of your body - the nervous system is not functioning in a healthy way. This causes it to live from a sympathetic response which creates alot of suffering. In this state, we are not functioning at our best. The body is not at peace. Therefore, it creates symptoms such as emotional illness. This also hinders you on your spiritual awakening journey. Here I will help you understand exactly how to overcome this struggle to make your spiritual journey easier.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I am also trained as Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I have been saying that We have for years looked at things like marijuana as a gateway drug..
I explain that Trauma is the gateway to mental health issues. Once a person expresses they had a difficult time managing their emotions and life after a certain life event ....They have various ways they can cope and recover. The most common ways I see this play out is by excessive use of drugs both ilegal and prescribed and alcohol.
Or people will suppress and bottle up which leads to having a difficult time in emotional regulation.

The intendtion is to not have to feel because feelings hurt and humans don't want to seem like they can't handle it.
Feelings make us seem weak.

I just started watching your videos in hopes that once I am able to get people to sit with their emotions. Build their confidence in Telling their Trauma narrative.
Working past the story. It's not really about what happened it's the HOW we feel and think about having that said life event being connected to our own personal story. Then moving towards the HOW are you going to manage things moving forward in you life.
So far I feel your videos can help the people moving into and through that last phase in the healing process!

Thank you !

Truth. Since I had my first major panic attack, and dealing with up and down aniexty that followed afterwards. Igm haf lost the feeling of safety in my own body. Havent truly felt settled, if that makes sense. The panic attacks also altered my perspective on life and kinda lost my trust and faith in positive outlooks. Its alot of details but its been a process to truly feel safe again without feeling guarded up and vulnerable. Im way better now, but still struggle with feeling settled, grounded, and in moment

This is the first video I've watched from this channel. I enjoyed it & will be back for more.
I'll check the playlists to see if my question has already been answered, but what I am wondering is if trauma experienced in another lifetime, not just this present one, can be an impediment to spiritual growth. Several psychiatrists, therapists, & addiction counselors have tried valiantly to uncover the root cause (= trauma) of my symptoms (pervasive anxiety, severe depression, panic attacks, & addiction). They have left no stone unturned as they excavated my childhood for clues. Trauma -- of any recognizable kind -- simply isn't there to be found. Nada. My symptoms really, truly come from something else.
Extreme trauma in another lifetime, perhaps some horrific punishment that occurred right as I took my first spiritual "baby steps", would explain a lot. I have frequently had a gnawing suspicion that I am the one holding me back -- that I am terrified, for some unknown reason, of truly transformative spiritual growth, not because I fear the unknown, but because I fear the known! I feel like I have a heavy foot on the brake pedal when it comes to radical spiritual growth, like the Universe is dragging me kicking & screaming to an Awakening & a Becoming which I desire with my deepest heart, but am, simultaneously, deathly afraid of.
The "fight, flight, or freeze" response is as natural as breathing for me. I live at the extremes, & I live on edge.
Hah! If anyone has had the patience to read this whole comment, I thank you! I'll keep exploring this puzzling mystery. Blessings.

Bringing up trauma and the CNS is exactly what the spiritual community is failing to address.

Many people will awaken from a life that has never felt immense grief and trauma in and then speak on non-dual matters as though it's simply all about awareness of thoughts and that's it. Which is really the downfall of many teachers. And so to see this video addressing this issue is great to see.

I, personally have gone through an immense amount of trauma and suffering throughout my entire life. And it was years ago that I realised that my physical symptoms were due to a brain that can't relax. And learning about the whole sympathetic nervous system etc was very interesting for me but it didn't help at the time because i didn't know how to calm it beyond the typical advice of exercise, sleep, meditation etc. And ofc, i wasn't getting good sleep and I couldn't meditate because my brain is too stressed! Lmao.

And I always knew that no self-help book, meditation, exercise, supplement, affirmation, diet etc would ever do the trick because it simply never did long term. Maybe a slight reprieve but it wasn't enough.

And then I did some major deep diving with weed which ive just seen you've done a video on. That was massive for me as it was proper shadow work and it released so much from me that I can't even remember what it was - because it was actually let go of!

So a heavy chest was out my life but a tight and tense gut was and is what still remains. But i found TRE and also this Vagus Nerve Stretch on a YouTube channel by Sukie Baxter which has radically transformed my life.

It's just a next stretch that you hold for like 30 seconds or however you want and it just fully relaxes the body.

I've been doing that every day now only for a week and it's been massive for me. So I'm gonna maintain that and letting myself be present to the feelings as well.

This is how I found your video as I typed in 'awakening and trauma' just now to see what others are saying about the CNS and becoming self-realised.

You're doing a great job here by highlighting this. Take care!
