Every single one of us, In one way or another, has experienced some form of a traumatic event within our lifetime. These pieces hold significant impact over our lives in various ways. The impacts of our traumas continue to take its shape and form throughout our lives and oftentimes can dictate the way we feel about ourselves and how we view and interpret the world around us.
A lot of the cases we see in our lives, our traumas can oftentimes be linked back to the wounded inner child. These are the pieces that impact us the most - More than any trauma we experience within the day to day life. It all is linked back to that damaged child that was wronged. The child that was hurt. The child that had their innocence and the light of their lives shattered before their little eyes. It is a hard truth that we all must recognize. Oftentimes, these damaged pieces of our childhood tend to play out over the course of our lives. It impacts the way we form relationships with others. With our family and friends, and alters the way we perceive the reality forevermore. It’s almost as if we have been programmed and conditioned to hold these understandings simply due to the way it showed up for us in our lives.
What if i told you the key here is to allow for the mind to relearn and understand the pieces of our lives that were tainted throughout the years of our lives? Because at the end of the day, we can hold onto our traumas as much as we’d like. We can form trauma bonds and attachments to these places and allow for our lives to be consumed by our stories… Or we can view these pieces from a place of awareness. From a place of understanding and neutrality - Because it is in these places of awareness and consciousness that we can allow ourselves to fully witness our trials and tribulations from a place of understanding. When you take a step back and view, understand, and learn about your traumas - It will shift everything.
A Lot of times - Our traumas leave imprints over us. This will look different for everybody & will never look the same, but the main component of this never changes. You can have somebody who was abused by their loved ones. These pieces can be reflected and carried into the way this individual forms and perceives relationships in the future. Their understanding of love and connection may become distorted and fragmented. They may subconsciously search for abuse from others. They may subconsciously seek the patterns that showed up within their abusive relationships, in all of their relationships going forward. It is because this is what they had been conditioned to understand about love & relationships. This is all that they knew.
We can see these conditions appear in places other than traumas. A great example is the way we understand money & abundance. Ask yourself, What were you raised to understand about money? Did you come from a family who struggled with money? And could these understandings from the past be imprinted on the way you view money today? There are many people who often can fall into these places… It all comes down to changing the lens of focus and allowing for the mind to relearn the truth that you wish to understand. By changing the way you perceive money into a positive and healthy place - You are altering your reality as simple as that. You are changing your conditioned beliefs to a new way of thinking ~ And because of this, it will be mirrored into the layers of your physical reality. We are that powerful. That is all it can take.
When you start to become aware of how our traumas are imprinted into our belief system, we can begin to understand and see the pieces of our lives that are in need of healing. Trauma leaves us with patterns that are picked up due to the pain and distortion of these experiences. By becoming aware of these patterns - Rather than getting stuck in our stories, we can simply witness our behaviors from a neutral place. If these are sexual issues, we might want to ask ourselves questions on how this may have started? Due to the our past experiences with sex and intimacy, what were we taught to understand about these pieces? Maybe we were used & abused by one too many. Maybe there is a piece of our soul that is crying out to be seen, heard and loved. Something that we were lacking once before. The patterns are all around us...and if we bring our conscious awareness into these pieces, we can begin to understand why we are the way we are...Why these traumas continue to negatively impact us and HOW we can overcome these pieces from a place of love.
By coming into awareness as to why we are the way we are, We also unlock the ability to hold awareness of enemies. Those who have wronged us. Those who have damaged us and may have ties to our traumas themselves..None of us are perfect. We ALL have wounds. Every single one of us. If you were to come to me and tell me that you have a perfect life and never once experienced some sort of trauma throughout your years, I’d tell you you’re a liar. There is a damaged piece within every single one of us. It is apart of our growth and is a part of this experience in this human life.
A long time ago, our Coven member Velca brought something into my awareness that awakened something profound within me. Ever since he shared this piece with me, it COMPLETELY changed the way i perceived life itself. It is something so simple, yet so powerful - It forever changed my life and played a HUGE piece within my spiritual growths.
“Life is an experience”
This simple piece holds so much power to it. It is common for us to overlook this sentence quite easily, Because it simply does not seem like anything too crazy. But when you observe this from a spiritually conscious perspective ~ It will change everything for you. Life itself is an experience. Our souls came into a decision to come into this human experience. Our souls incarnated into a human vessel, a human “avatar” if you will, for one main piece… To experience. From the moment you opened your eyes, to the moment you take your final breath and your soul passes on into the cold embrace of the spiritual world - You are here witnessing an experience. Within this life - we experience. We grow, we learn, we understand and we expand the depths of our souls into profound heights. Every single fickle experience you have had on this earth - Both positive & negative, holds a significance to your soul's purpose here in this life. When we tear away the ego and we strip away the fabrications and illusions of the mind...We can begin to see the patterns of it all. Every single moment of your life has led you into this moment.
Let me give your mind an easy way to understand the point I'm trying to make here. As I say to those who are close to me, I like to play. I enjoy playing with my thoughts and partaking in every possibility that there could be within a situation. No matter where you come from there is one piece that you cannot deny.
Every single moment of your life has led you into the moment here. Every single trauma you have endured within your current life time has led you to the roads you have walked to this present day. Every decision you have made has led you to where you are now. Every mistake, error, failure and fall you have ever had in your life - You are here now. Every success, accomplishment, growth and expansion you have ever experienced has led you into this moment, here and now. There are simply no coincidences in this life. There is a reason for everything, and you may start to even notice how every part of your life - Both the good and the bad - Have just so happened to lead you into this very moment. The fact that you are here in this moment - Reading this post - It is an undeniable FACT that you truly are exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. Something enticed you and something pulled the chords of your soul to read this post, and to reach as far as you have. As I type this, I am connecting to your energy. You were meant to receive this. Accept this as it is.
Now that I have brought this awareness into your mind, I want you to begin to understand the significance your traumas have held over your life. For some, we may immediately jump to the “Negative” aspects that these events have held over us ~ But i would actually like to invite you to re-frame your way of thinking to view the Positives of these Traumas. What did you learn from these pieces of your life? What pieces of your life can you alchemize into something positive. Something that you can take away from your struggle, that can lift you into a state of empowerment. Without my personal traumas, I know I would not be the person I am today. Because of the struggles I went through in my youth, I was led to walk a spiritual path and I was called to do the work that I do...Both here within Satan & Sons + my callings in my day to day life. Without my Traumas, I would not have been able to learn, to grow, and to mature into the Adult I am today. By understanding what my traumas have held over me, I allowed myself to completely make peace with these skeletons in my closet, knowing that they have helped me transcend within my human experience to evolve and awaken into the individual I am today.
By diving deep into our traumas from a neutral and understanding perspective, we are allowing ourselves to come into a deeper understanding into the reasons as to why we have experienced these hard pieces of our lives. Within every hardship, there is a medicine for your soul to take in. That is why we experienced them in the first place. Your soul is simply witnessing this experience from a physical vessel. Understand the deeper meaning and reasoning of it all, and it all will piece together...There is a reason why you exist and there is a reason why these pieces play such a crucial role within your life. When you can witness these experiences from a detached ego and from a place of neutral & conscious awareness ~ It will change everything. It will change the way you look at the world around you, and it will forever change the way you view who you are today.
