We all experience trauma in some form or another. But, does it need to stop us in our tracks like it just happened yesterday? NO! Our memories are not static — they are malleable. Through journeying we can easily access our subconscious mind and travel to those places in our mind, not to relive them, but to cleanse and adorn the scene; to dress the wounds in our memory with nurturing care. And the incredible thing is, the new nurturing scenes stick with you! The adornments stay in your psyche! The decorated scene is your new internal landscape and it soothes you each and every time that image pops into your mind.
I invite you to take a luxurious plunge deep into your subconscious mind to offer those unpleasant scenes beautiful gifts of healing. Inner peace is closer than you think.
Let’s visit one of my memories together to see how it works… My parents divorced due to adultery when I was 2 years old. They tried to get back together when I was 4 but it didn’t work out. My mom was distraught and distracted during these years and I was left alone a lot as a 2-4-year-old. My memories from this time are full of grief, sadness, and extreme loneliness. In one of my Internal Decorating Journies, I went back to the house I lived in at this time and “decorate” the sad places I remember. During the guided journey, we cleansed the rooms where I hid and cried like a child. Then my higher self helped decorate each space with objects that would make the space feel better. We brought in a big beautiful vase full of flowers that my dad had given my mom, which made my mom smile with delight. We introduced a playmate to play with pots, pans, and Tupperware with me on the kitchen floor. And, we visited that time when my mom said, “go back to bed,” when I had a nightmare, in the ID journey — she let me sleep with her for the rest of the night.
The incredible thing is that now whenever I think of that house, it has those new images in my memory! They are permanent! And I actually get a rush of happiness when I see those flowers from my dad to my mom on the kitchen table.
