The Role of Energy Healing in Releasing Cellular Trauma.
Updated: Oct 24, 2023
In this post, I will be discussing the healing of trauma based on energetic and spiritual perspectives, as well as my observations in practice over the years.
We will also delve into the science behind how trauma is stored within cells and how energy healing, by working from the core level, can effectively reset cellular code and function, ultimately dissolving trauma from within the body.
What is Cellular Trauma?
The concept of the human body storing trauma is not a new one, but recent advancements in science and holistic healing practices have shed new light on this phenomenon.
Celluar trauma is the result of traumatic experiences that have not processed, and due to this are stored in raw, encapsulated form within the cells. The information within the cells can lay dormant for years or even lifetimes before reactivating.
(This reactivation is known as sensory recall, and I have written a seperate post about this here.)
The Cellular Imprint of Trauma.
Trauma, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, leaves a lasting imprint on the human body.
This imprint can manifest in various ways, from chronic physical ailments and emotional distress to altered thought patterns and behavioural responses.
To understand how trauma is stored at the cellular level, we must first explore the science behind this phenomenon.
Cellular Memory.
Cells are not merely mechanical units within our bodies; they possess memory and intelligence. Every experience we go through, especially those charged with strong emotions, leaves an imprint on our cells.
This imprint is stored as cellular memory, influencing how our cells function and communicate with each other. When trauma occurs, the cells involved in the experience can carry the memory of that trauma long after the event has passed.
Epigenetics and Gene Expression.
One of the groundbreaking discoveries in modern biology is the field of epigenetics, which examines how external factors, including trauma and stress, can influence gene expression.
Traumatic experiences can alter the way specific genes are expressed, leading to physiological and psychological changes. This alteration in gene expression can be passed down through generations, perpetuating the effects of trauma.
The Brain-Body Connection.
The brain plays a pivotal role in processing and storing traumatic experiences. The amygdala, responsible for processing emotions, can become hypersensitive and trigger the body's stress response even in non-threatening situations, perpetuating a cycle of anxiety and hypervigilance.
Additionally, the prefrontal cortex, which regulates decision-making and emotional responses, can become compromised, leading to impulsive reactions and difficulty managing emotions.
The Wisdom of Energy Healing.
Energy healing is a holistic approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit - offering profound insights into the release of cellular trauma and the opportunity to initiate the true healing process.
My approach to healing extends beyond the energy healing sessions, focusing on the highest healing potential of the body as well as strategies that support clients to maintain their natural state of well being.
I believe that true healing requires more than the addressing surface symptoms; it requires a profound transformation of the self which begins with the stabilisation of the inner climate to increase the cells' receptivity to healing.
(I refer to this as readiness. If you would like to learn more I have written a blog post including a self-evalutaion scale here.)
My 8 key focus pillars of healing:
The nervous system - soothing a dysregulated nervous system to enable the mind to find ease and calm more readily. When the mind is calm and coherent the body will follow suit, softening and opening to allow the trauma data to release from the cell in order to be cleared and healed.
The emotional plane - when we can emotionally regulate, we are fully able to break free from habitual thought patterns and untangle the emotions tied to trauma. This increases the brain's capacity to form new neural connections and gradually overwrite the cellular imprints of trauma.
Energy correlation - by locating the specific regions in the body where certain traumas are stored, we gain a deeper understanding of these traumas and can access them to more readily heal. This is especially true when dealing with traumas from previous lifetimes that have activated.
Purification and harmonisation - of the energy field to release stagnant congested energy, and raising the frequency of the field to restore harmony and wellbeing. Cellular trauma impairs the function of the energy field and in severe cases lowers immunity and increases susceptibility to illness.
Vitality - countering the process of devitalisation with activities that support the intuitive healing power of life force energy, increasing what feels good and that fortifies well being, rather than detracting from it. Honouring our body's higher intelligence places us in the best position to heal.
Support and guidance - humans are hard-wired for connection and community. When we feel supported we can allow ourselves to surrender to the more difficult processes of healing, knowing that we are not alone and can reach for a guiding hand when we need it most.
Tools and skills - as children we are not taught the skills to fully allow ourselves to feel emotional and process our traumas accordingly. Infact the opppsite is true. When being able to effectively navigate life challenges, we reduce the potential for feeling stuck and accumulating stagnant energies.
Spiritual reconnection - the spiritual journey allows us to relinquish fear and uncertainty, allowing us to come back into our hearts where our truth and purpose resides. When we can reconnect with that clarity, we can align with values and behaviours that achieve well being as a natural consequence.
By embracing the wisdom of energy healing and working from the core level, it is truly possible to unlock the potential for cellular transformation, releasing the shackles of the past and stepping into a future marked by healing, vitality, and spiritual growth.
