#19 Trauma - The Path of Healing With Sacred Medicine (not alcohol) Create A Life You Adore Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
I was inspired to jump on at 5am-ish and record after being away for a bit.
I just had to share a profound realisation with you. Tune in and find out - the link between binning the booze, and being capable of dealing with trauma that is unconscious, and (potentially) unconsciously creating (frucking) havoc in your life.
So get cozy, grab your morning brew and let's have some real talk.
A few months back, I had this super intense sacred medicine experience which I went into with crazy high expectations. Like I'm talking a whole checklist of soul questions needing answers - know what I mean?
Afterwards, with some gratitude, I still felt really disappointed because I didn't get the clarity that I wanted.
However, what happened, was that over the next months, it slowly hit me. And when I realized the huge freakin’ gift it gave me, I was pissed at first before starting to feel positively liberated.
See, before this ceremony, it wasn’t uncommon for me to have a glass or two of vino most nights with dinner. No biggie I thought. But after the ceremony...I just didn't want alcohol anymore. I’d have the odd bevvy, but averaging out at 1 or 2 per month.
The other night, I had two glasses of wine, and the next morning I felt SO depressed.
Having that space and clarity opened me up in ways I never expected. I would never have had the ‘aha’ moments I had, OR been able to deal with them without potentially feeling suicidal if I was stuck in ancient patterns.
The crazy part? Issues I'd buried long ago started bubbling up. We're talking unconscious childhood hurts I never dared face. But suddenly I found myself healing wounds, and filling voids in me I didn't know existed.
And the gift of rest! My sleep has improved even more! I would sometimes awaken with nightmares, or I’d awaken with a shock - and my heart would be pounding in my chest. Now I sleep like a blissful baby and rise refreshed.
So, although it took me by surprise...cutting alcohol unexpectedly moved me into massive growth and healing. And that’s what I’m here for!
So I just had to share in case this inspires any other magic in your journey. Let me know in the comments if you’ve had any similar shifts or changes in your life.
See you next time, and enjoy the short podcast today!
