An in depth look with June Jackson at trauma, beliefs contained in the body’s reactions to stimulus and the difference in spiritual pursuits and somatic investigations to find the roots of trauma beyond what the mind can see.

The pursuit of spirituality as an object
Doesn’t exempt you from experience
Experience is not constantly anything
Unrequested responses of the body
You can’t spiritualise away your experience
The body doesn’t awaken
Contractions, tensions, tightness still exist
Parts will naturally surrender when understood
Honouring our system is important
Parts are running the show anyway so make friends
Parts are normal human response to adversity
They are trying to be helpful – intelligence
Life guides us to ourselves
Awakening will only take you so far
Spiritual Bypassing
Natural reaction to grief – closing down
We can’t discount the programming
Contractions don’t show up as thoughts/memories
Strong emotional reaction comes before cognitive
The body can say NO!
