Caroline's Corner - If you look at things differently, the things you look at change

Welcome to Caroline's Corner, Episode 12 a safe place for unique conversations for people who want to find meaning in their lives and life and share it with others.  This will evolve and grow with some amazing and beautiful human beings.

It was such a pleasure to have a meaningful conversation with a friend and colleague who works as a Mental Health Practitioner, a lecture in DCU and all marinated in the way of Shamanism. Our conversation moved through the value of rituals, the need and strength of belonging and how we are all part of the human consciousness and what we can access within this, amazing resource as opposed to ticking boxes. To engage with each other and explore the possibilities available in each moment of our lives all sitting on the foundation of the potential of healing within ourselves. We spoke about trauma and how, once we come to this earth suffering is part of the human experience and exploring how to integrate these life experiences as opposed to them being destructive. “You can’t undo the past but if faced with courage it does not have to happen again”

We spoke about in the moment trauma as it lives in the body, emotions, heart and soul. We looked at the amazing power of the “field of possibilities/the energy we come from, will go to and sit within” and how we are all interconnected and navigating our lives and life itself. “When we get past the idea of rightness and wrongness, there is a field and I will meet you there”

We discussed that survival techniques are individual to each and everyone one of us and do not need to be labelled or categorized or judged. We spoke about the experience of a Family Constellation workshop and what it offers to look at healing trauma. “We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors” We looked at what we can send forward to the generations ahead to help them in their lives and their healing. “It didn’t start with me but it can end with me”
