Recently, I have been using a technique to heal trauma that Marsha Hankins learned from another teacher and modified for Standing in the Light®. She calls the technique: Aging the Inner Child. With this technique, we are asking to see if there is trauma from our birth or at a certain age that needs to be healed. Once we identify an age where there is trauma energy, the actual aspect of trauma may not need to come to our conscious awareness. We can simply start to heal / clear the trauma with our usual clearing statements or healing methods like Reiki. Once that particular timeframe is clear of trauma, we ask for the next age where we might have trauma and start to clear that timeframe, too.
As I was working with this technique, I realized that I had the belief that if I had trauma energy that it manifested as a particular situation where I was the victim. I was the victim; thus, I was traumatized. That was my belief. Then, I heard some wisdom from my soul. I could have trauma energy even if I was the one in the situation who had persecuted someone else. I could have trauma energy stuck in my cellular memory no matter whether I was directly involved with the situation which felt traumatic. I could have trauma energy if I was a bystander, an observer or half way around the world to the unfolding events. Trauma energy is trauma energy no matter how it came to my awareness.
In this blog, we have discussed the Karpman Drama Triangle many times. When we still have drama in our lives or unhealed trauma, we need to heal the underlying energies of victim, persecutor and rescuer no matter which role in the drama we are playing. We need to heal the drama no matter if we switch from feeling like the victim to playing the role of persecutor to wanting to rescue someone that we believe isn’t able to stand in their own power.
Through all of these possibilities of drama and trauma, we need to remember that we, and all beings, are Source. If we still have trauma and drama to heal, it might help to look at the times when we perpetrated the trauma or rescued someone from the trauma and not just from when we might have been the victim. Heal the trauma no matter how it came into your experience.
