Well I wrestled with sharing this - because I really don’t want to be misunderstood as condemning. This is not being published to condemn or to take a legalistic stance on therapy, medication or anything like that.

This is a word that has been building continually on my Spirit since my salvation around the difference between trauma healing as a believer in Jesus vs trauma healing in the world.

The healing journeys look very different.

While much of secular healing, personal development and psychology falls in the realm of common grace and is neutral and we are free to use it as believers.

However, there has been an idolatry of these modalities and even modalities that directly contradict what the Lord has shown us in His Word about the nature of...

PRAYERS FOR YOUR TRAUMA HEALING JOURNEY -PART 1

One prayer I often pray is: “Father - make the crooked places straight in my heart”

I get this prayer from the metaphor often found in Scripture of “preparing the way of the Lord”

In the Old Covenant before Jesus came, Prophets would proclaim His coming and they would declare that One was coming who would make things right with humanity. Who would “level the playing field” against sin, corruption and evil.

One who would heal and restore and repair. One who would light the way both in the world and in our hearts.

I love this metaphor because it is so profoundly true in the context of trauma.

Sin & Trauma creates so much confusion, dysregulation and disruption in our hearts and minds.

As a result, we can see things from distorted lenses.

What is safe seems unsafe & what is unsafe can seem safe.
We can be reactive or easily shut-down as a result of our nervous system’s sensitivity.

This week on the podcast I have another interview with an incredible client. Louise Lewis is a trauma informed Life Coach. She is an incredibly intelligent and wonderful person with a heart of gold!

Prior to becoming a coach, she worked as a Tax Litigation Solicitor (Lawyer) in the Big 4 for over a decade.

In October 2018, Louise changed the direction of her life and has done the work to find out what was at the root of some of the stressful patterns that were creating cycles of burnout.

Louise has completed a diploma in transformation coaching practice, trained in positive intelligence, human design and she is also a student in the School of Embodied Healing Systems.

She has coached dozens of clients for over 1000 hours and has been accredited by the International Coach Federation.

In this conversation we talk about her journey of healing before meeting me, and how our work together has helped her at the level of the body. We also talk about my...

Working at the Core

abuse acoa addicition healing adverse childhood experiences attachment trauma awareness childhood trauma healing coaching Jan 14, 2022

I'm about working with issues at the core.

Because it’s efficient and it works faster.

Deep Healing is physical and spiritual business. The pull to move back into old patterns is mental and emotional - but actually at the core it’s physical and spiritual.

Sometimes you’re fighting a spiritual battle but you think it’s in your mind.

In those moments it truly feels like otherworldly forces are holding you back from your destiny.

And you can’t claw your way out with your mindset tools because the issue is deeper.

This isn’t a scary thing. Because when you understand the core of the issue you are more equipped to solve it. You no longer are in agony looking for a needle in a haystack.

And you can reach out for help - ask for support from the Divine, from heavenly forces.

Strengthen your mind through tending to your spirit. It’s the shortcut.

Humanity is going through a big change in this moment.

While you may have felt...

Freedom from Survival

abuse acoa addicition healing adverse childhood experiences boundaries childhood trauma healing codependency recovery complex ptsd embodiment emotion Nov 26, 2021

Speak these words over your life and family with a hand on your heart or tummy (or both) and take them into your being

This is an excerpt from the FREEDOM FROM SURVIVAL CLEARING PRAYER we are doing tomorrow inside SUPERNOVA.

I am always writing new healing prayers as they come through me, to address the needs of my clients and the healing of humanity needs as a collective body.

The spiritual hunger in the Western world is massive, and I believe our survival stress around money has a lot to do with this deep need for spiritual nourishment.

We simply cannot expect to neglect our bodies and spirits and feel prosperous at the same time.

Tomorrow’s SUPERNOVA call is all about Embodied Prosperity, with a section on your nervous system and prosperity. I will be going through the different nervous system states and how the body holds patterns and becomes dependent on these states. These patterns have a direct impact on our financial health. Whether you are making 1m per...

In your Heart, there is a Seed

abuse acoa addicition healing adverse childhood experiences allan schore awakening brain healing childhood trauma healing deep healing dr bruce perry emotional abuse high-achieving Nov 11, 2021

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......

4 Areas to Focus on to Create a Life of Healing, Success & Alignment - Part 2

4 Areas to Focus on for a Life of Healing, Success & Alignment - Part 2 - Your True Work

Yesterday was about the first area of focus - Trauma Healing (read yesterday's blog here). Now that we’ve covered the importance of making sure your roots are in a state of repair, we’re moving on to the second area - Your True Work.

What’s beautiful about the process of trauma healing is that it creates safety and resilience inside of you. That means you have a felt-sense of your own ability to be safe and secure within your own body. This balances your mental, spiritual, emotional and nervous system(s). Once that happens, you begin to unlock your own gifts and talents. When your base level state is a state of health and repair, you naturally discover your own success codes.

Everything that you have been through and healed from is part of you. It is inside of you and part of your story. Your brain and body, your cells and...

There's What Happened and There's Who You Are

There’s what happened… and then there’s who you ARE…

It’s hard to separate the two. What happened. The circumstance. The object. The swirling of life around you. And the past events that shaped who you are. Versus YOU - who you are, what you VALUE, yourSELF, your CORE, your POWER.

Life pushes fast fast faster against you and everything has a sense of constriction. Constraint. Pressure. Before long we’re going through motions that we never meant to go through. Living from a paradigm we did not choose.

I find nothing more terrifying than when I notice that I’ve confused what’s happening or what happened with myself - my values - and my power. I coast along complaining about how hard it all is until life and God grant me a reality check that slaps me in the face and wakes me up from the daily slumber of pity.

The deeper truth is that nothing that is happening outside of me, and even nothing that happened to me IS me. I am not my job or...
