A Path of Extraordinary Growth
You can try yoga or meditation. You can try to vibrate at a higher frequency or master the law of attraction. It’s all good.
The question remains: after trying so many different spiritual practices, do you really feel more confident, strong, connected to your heart, and able to face any challenge in your life? Or do you still feel stuck, stressed, anxious, insecure, or depressed?
If you see yourself, or people around you, desperately looking for the right fix, without getting any satisfying results, there is a good reason for that.
Everything in nature grows from the roots up.
Without acknowledging the traumatic energy imprint that most of us experienced as a child, due to emotional core wounds, one cannot really grow.
In order for inner growth to happen, one needs to go at the roots, clear the energy, transmute the program, dissolve the limiting beliefs, and then, embark on a clear path, with real freedom to choose a life you love.
Is it hard to access? The simple answer is no. The more complex answer is: it depends.
The Courage to Go Deep
Are you willing to become fully aware of the emotional core wounds that were unconsciously passed on to you, from a generation to another?
At first, this invitation can seem scary and heavy.
Yes, it takes some courage and willingness to dive into the unknown, the unacknowledged, the non recognized. But how can you expect real change, transformation and expansion, if at the core of your being, the energy is still mostly trapped? If the memory of being unsafe is solidly anchored? And if your nervous system is in constant flight-fight-freeze mode?
These states of being cannot be transcended by simply adopting the latest trend that urges you to be zen. In most cases, you will only learn how to repress even more your already suppressed energy. Sadly, these techniques often forget to mention the importance of being wild, fiery, and savage. They teach us to contain ourselves, control our emotions, and be a perfect image of spirituality.
Going Below the Surface
You can work on the surface as much as you want. But no behavioral approach will work if you never go at the roots. None.
Then, how can you go deep, safely, easily, and without feeling overly scared?
By naming the wounds.
There are a few frameworks out there that offer you an entry point to identify the emotional wounds and trauma experienced during childhood.
Here is the one that we developed and used successfully over the years: we call it the 6 emotional core wounds and their antidotes.
6 Emotional Core Wounds + Antidotes
NEGLECT: When the Needs of the Child are Not Taken Care of / ATTENTION: The Person is Being Heard & Seen
REJECTION: When the Child is Put Down & Pushed Away / APPRECIATION: The Person is Accepted & Complimented
INVASION: When the Space of the Child is Not Respected / RECOGNITION: The Person Has their Needs Recognized
ABUSE: When the Child is Taken Advantage of / EMPATHY: The Person is Felt & Perceived as Sacred
BETRAYAL: When the Child is Being Lied to / AUTHENTICITY: The Person is Being Told the Truth
ABANDONMENT: When the Child is Left Without Loving Care / AUTONOMY: The Person is Unconditionally Supported
These 6 wounds cover a large spectrum of human tendencies that are toxic for the development of an individual. They have been repeated, unconsciously, for ages. They are still mostly unrecognized, preventing us to experience true and long-lasting transformation.
The 6 antidotes are offered as pathways to support the healing of each wound. This work is meant to be cultivated in relation with yourself; with your family and friends; and with the people you are meant to serve, if you are in a position to support personal transformation.
Is it That Deep?
The main takeaway here is: the wounds are never really that deep. They point and show their expression every time we have a difficult emotional reaction, when things are not going the way we want.
The key is to develop the capacity to receive each emotion as a messenger of transformation. An emotional core wound is forged, during childhood, when your needs are not fully met, over and over again. The role of the present emotion is to open up a window of opportunity, for you to give yourself, or the person in front of you, the loving energy that was not experienced in the past.
The multiple conditions that afflict the modern world, like stress, anxiety, and depression, can be healed through this process of going at the roots.
Extraordinary inner growth is your birth right.
Blessings from Peru.
