    Krishna Avalon "Healing Generational Trauma"

    Krishna Avalon "Healing Generational Trauma"

    Krishna Avalon, a seasoned subconscious therapist, licensed acupuncturist, and psyche facilitator, has over twenty years of experience in guiding individuals in their health and wellness journey. Raised as a brown girl in a large Catholic family in the Midwest, her unique upbringing propelled her journey towards understanding safety, trusting her voice, and embodying her true self.
    Avalon's perspective on healing from trauma is deeply rooted in her personal journey, emphasizing the importance of confronting past traumas and stress as pivotal towards healing. She questions the effectiveness of traditional talk therapy for everyone, advocating instead for alternative modalities that assist individuals in releasing trauma and shifting negative thought and behavior patterns.
    With a focus on subconscious therapy and holistic approaches, she simplifies the healing process, believing that by tackling trauma and stress, individuals can break generational cycles of pain, bring healing to their lineage, and ultimately, find peace and acceptance within themselves.
    Key Takeaways:
    - Personal healing journeys can break generational cycles of trauma and pain.- Subconscious therapy is emphasized as a method to address stress and trauma for healing and growth.- Generational trauma influences individuals and the importance of compassion towards previous generations is highlighted.- Using images and feelings in a theta state can create new pathways in the mind for faster transformation.- Emotion Code practitioners work with trapped emotions for mental and physical well-being.- Nature walks and spending time in nature can help individuals heal and ground themselves.- Practicing self-love, acceptance, and embracing uniqueness is crucial for healing and empowerment.
