Why Embodied Healing Systems is So Important to Me; My Story

attachment trauma healing brain healing deep healing embodied healing systems neuroplasticity polyvagal theory shyla cash somatic experiencing waking the tiger Jul 08, 2023

There was a time when I didn’t have my right mind - my sanity. As a teen you could have diagnosed me with reactive attachment disorder and severe depression and ADHD among other things.

I grew up in a very dysfunctional home. My mom suffers with paranoid schizophrenia and manic depression.

Her childhood was awful - she talks about being suicidal at 11.

She didn’t make her way to healing.

And when she had me, she struggled. And as a result she severely abused and neglected me. She also decided to homeschool me until I was 11.

Growing up in that situation took its toll on my developing brain and body. On the outside I adapted well as I was very smart and quite gifted as a kid. I learned how to perform in school and in church. I kept my home life a secret.

People who knew my mom knew something wasn’t right - but I felt a pressure to protect my parents and so I put on a happy face. As I got older I continued to perform well despite the inner turmoil.

But the body is not...

Calling all Entrepreneurs!

As a fellow entrepreneur and high-performer - I know how important your business goals are to you. You want to bring your vision into the world and help the amazing people you serve in business.

I also know what it takes to do that: energy, health, stress management, and clear alertness that allows you to move with confidence and alignment in the marketplace.

If you’ve got trauma patterns, there is no better time to address them than right now. Why? Because if you’ve got trauma in your life and it’s going unaddressed, that’s an amazing LEVERAGE point that can help you meet your life and business goals with a LOT more ease and energy.

I believe so passionately in trauma work! Not because you need to go digging around in the past, but because your future will thank you for it!

Having specialised support to navigate chronic stress patterns and trauma patterns in your life is the best way to take care of yourself this year.

Trauma Patterns and our Physiology

As you age, working with trauma patterns becomes more and more important. Especially if you’re an ambitious, high performing person who wants to, and indeed IS doing BIG stuff in the world!

Why?

For most of us, our bodies move into trauma patterns unconsciously when we are young, adapting to both big and little stressors.

These stressors, if not dealt with properly, create changes in our cellular function, nervous system and DNA - but young bodies are naturally faster at keeping up with the oxidative stress.

But as we move into adulthood and beyond, The physical energy required to push the patterns away or avoid them takes an increasing toll on your cells and biological functions, as well as your executive functioning.

Meaning your body needs more and more energy to do the same things, and the pushing and avoiding becomes less and less available - and can show up in ways you wouldn’t expect (including chronic illness, brain fog, brain inflammation and more)...

Healing Starts with You

As I often say - Healing is my life’s work!

I organize my life around my own healing and alignment - I don’t try to fit my healing and alignment into the life my ego thinks it wants!

That means I put my spiritual and nervous system health first, above all else. This is a practice I have cultivated during over 12 years of the healing journey. Now, I know my system so well, I can give it exactly what it needs all the time. I know how to tend to myself.

When you sign up for the healing journey, you are signing up for a new way of life. To heal at the nervous system and spiritual level, you don’t just do some patchwork on the top layers of your life.

To embark on this journey, you are reclaiming yourself - your soul sovereignty and opting out of the status quo. Which is great - because the status quo is not working and makes us sick!

When you heal your life, you are devoting yourself to a life of optimal health and repair. A life of coming back into harmony...

In your Heart, there is a Seed

In your heart of hearts there is a seed.

A seed of destiny that longs to grow through you.

This seed is what pulls you inward to itself... it is what gives you the strength to face your darkest shadows and deepest fears.

In the beginning, this delicate seed in the chamber of your heart is private and delicate. It can only be touched by gentle hands and witnessed with gentle eyes.

But as it is fed and watered by both you and the Divine, it grows strong and powerful. And your destiny starts to take shape in the sacred geometry of your life, love and business.

When you forget about this seed, life begins to feel dry and forceful and pushed. Things simply dry up and feel brittle. Sometimes they even hurt. When we grow impatient we leave the chamber of the heart where we have been nourishing this seed of destiny. Where we have been faithfully pulling up the weeds that threaten to strangle it...

And we seek something out there... the next business goal......

There is no Shame!

There is no shame

In your heart’s desire.

The opening and blossoming of your essence

And the feeling of being fully alive.

The messiness and the grace.

The beautiful unfolding.

The depths and heights of you.

The beauty of your pure soul.

As you dance with life itself.

The healing is in the living.

It’s in the breathing.

Your self expression shining as bright as life itself.

Eliminating resistance.

You are a quantum imprint.

The footprints of the galaxy.

And there is no shame in that.

With Love,

Shyla
