How Do We Heal Trauma?
Trauma indicates an inner wound. We react from our inner pain. How do we heal trauma?
Much trauma develops during our childhood. We suffer. Suffering interferes with our emotional growth.
Likewise, trauma induces fear. As adults and children, we have many fears. We act unconsciously from our fears.
“Trauma is a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically. That then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you’re acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you’re acting out of fear.” Gabor Mate, M.D.
We all as adults have an inner child. Women have a little girl. Men have a little boy. Remember when you were a child. See or imagine an image of your child.
Child lives in belly chakra. Child wants to hang onto familiar road of childhood pain.

Stillness Meditation (to deal with voices in the mind, critical voices/self-judgement)
In essence, we sit in a quiet environment, and clearing our minds of all thoughts. Focus on the breath entering and leaving our bodies. When we feel our minds drift, we simply bring them back to our breath. Practiced consistently, this meditation helps us stay present in daily life.
