Have you been wondering whether flower, gem and crystal essences can help you to release trauma from your energetic system? This is the first of two posts exploring how trauma affects you<\/a> emotionally and energetically so that you can discover the most suitable flower essences to help recovery from trauma. <\/p>\r\n

What is Trauma and How Does it Affect You?<\/h2>\r\n

\u2018Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you\u2026 as a result of the difficult or hurtful events that befall [you].\u2019 Gabor Mate<\/p><\/div>\r\n

‘Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you… as a result of the difficult or hurtful events that befall [you]’ Gabor Mate. Some trauma experts differentiate between ‘big-T Trauma’; the impact of shocking, disturbing or distressing events (e.g. abuse, violence, racism) that overwhelm the system, and the more pervasive ‘small-T trauma’ which arises from lack of emotional connection, not being seen, heard or fully accepted in childhood. <\/p>\r\n

All types of trauma affect you long after the traumatic events themselves have ended because the energetic imprint of trauma remains in your system until you are able to metabolise your experiences, heal from their impact and move on. <\/p>\r\n

How Do Flower Essences Help You to Release Trauma?<\/h2>\r\n\"Single\r\n

Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences have an important contribution to make in the healing of trauma at an energetic level.  They are very effective for helping you to release the old emotional imprints from any kinds of traumatic experiences so that you can recover from what’s happened and move on with your life feeling calm, safe and connected. <\/p>\r\n

Essences restore balance at energetic, emotional and mental levels by breaking up the density of crystallised emotions, beliefs, thoughts, and patterns in your subtle energy system. This enables the emotional charge of the trauma you’ve experienced to dissipate so that the energy can be released.<\/p>\r\n

Flower Essences Aid Emotional and Energetic Balance After Trauma<\/h3>\r\n

Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences (aka vibrational essences) work primarily by restoring balance on emotional and energetic levels so they will take you on an inner journey that allows feelings and sensations which were too overwhelming at the time to be felt and released in a safe and gentle way. They’re effective for helping you to feel your feelings, emotions and sensations if you’ve been feeling numb, dissociated, withdrawn or shut down.  And, conversely, if you experience very intense, painful or uncomfortable emotions then essences will help to alleviate the discomfort by bringing you greater balance and peace. <\/p>\r\n

Vibrational Essences<\/a> help you to develop your capacity to stay present with yourself, so that you can feel what needs to be felt at emotional and energetic levels and release the associated emotional energy appropriately.<\/p>\r\n

Flower Essences Restore Connection to Your Body After Trauma<\/h3>\r\n\"Body,\r\n

When trauma occurs, it typically ruptures your connection with your body because you feel threatened. Vibrational Essences can help you to reconnect with your body and find feelings of safety after trauma so that you can experience bodily sensations and release memories that are held within the body. This enables old trauma imprints to find a somatic release without you necessarily needing to talk about, remember or try to make sense of what happened at the time. Your sensations can be felt, released and integrated without retraumatising you. <\/p>\r\n

Flower Essences Help You to Reconnect With All Parts of Yourself<\/h3>\r\n

Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences restore inner feelings of safety and security which means that you are able you to reconnect with all parts of yourself in a conscious and loving way. On an energetic level, Essences bring your system up to date so that you can be more present in the moment instead of unconsciously reacting to life as though trauma from the past is still happening. As this happens, you get to know yourself at the deeper level of your soul instead of responding to life from outdated personality patterns that you unconsciously adopted as coping mechanisms.<\/p>\r\n

Flower Essences Help You to Step Into Your Soul Power<\/h3>\r\n

Trauma can make your world very small and disconnect your from your true self or soul because you are unconsciously trying to keep safe all the time.  When you bring the balancing frequencies of Vibrational Essences into your system, they are not only releasing the old trauma imprints but they are also helping you to discover who you are as a unique soul with a unique purpose in life. By reconnecting you with all parts of yourself, Essences can help you to step fully into your power and experience all the beauty and wonder that life has in store for you when you live in alignment with your soul. <\/p>\r\n

Are you feeling numb or shut down?<\/strong> Star of Bethlehem<\/a> is particularly useful if you feel numb, dissociated, disconnected, withdrawn, subdued or shut down as a result of shocking or distressing incidents. Star of Bethlehem restores comfort and connection after shock or trauma, helps to release energy blocks, and aids recovery and reintegration after distressing events. It’s one of the essences in the Revival Remedy combination.<\/p>\r\n

Do you feel a sense of threat or danger? <\/strong>Feeling Safe Essence<\/a> is a combination of essences that help to dissolve the belief that ‘the world is not a safe place’.

Do you want to release childhood trauma? <\/strong>Peace Essence<\/a> is a combination of flower, gem and crystal essences for deep healing on all levels.

When you experience shock, emotional stress or trauma, parts of the personality can splinter off to avoid feeling the related emotional pain. It’s an excellent choice if you feel ungrounded and detached from your body, fragmented, or not fully yourself. <\/p>\r\n\"Healing\r\n

It’s an excellent essence for releasing deeply buried trauma from abuse because it helps to dissolve shock and fear and restore courage and safety. It also helps to restore feelings of dignity and self worth, and release unconscious beliefs about being a victim or deserving what happened.<\/p>\r\n
