AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON PAST EMOTIONAL TRAUMA

Emotional trauma is an event that is overwhelming to the nervous system. The event need not be significant in the eyes of others, and may even seem trivial to ones-self. Nevertheless, it overwhelms the person's nervous system and makes them unable, or unwilling, to think about it.

On a spiritual level, healing of trauma is achieved when a person is willing to look at it, learn from it, and go through all the steps of grieving it. The result of trauma healing is adaptive behaviors, hopefulness, and self-control when triggered.

Looking at trauma sometimes requires regression - going back into the memory and reliving it from a safe vantage point. From this vantage point you can re-assess the trauma, and your response.

As an example, I find it helpful to bring the light and love of Jesus when regressing to traumatic memories. I imagine that Jesus is holding my hand through it, loving me.

Since unresolved trauma creates resistance, trauma is characterized by tension & constraint. Stretching, breathing exercises, and antispasmodics can loosen of tension and help a person look at and process the trauma.

Tension often resides in the eyes, mouth, jaw, throat, neck, shoulders, chest, solar plexus, belly button, pelvic floor, and thighs. Look for tension in these areas and release it through slow contraction and release of these muscles.

Other somatic techniques for trauma include EMDR.

Indignation, bitterness, and pessimism accompanying the overwhelm of trauma, and are a sign of incomplete healing. On the one hand, these emotions are prideful. On the other hand, they reflect a hopeless about the future.

Indignation is the inability to accept what has happened to you. Indignation leads to bitterness and the source is pride. Pride is healed with acceptance and humility. Although one may advocate for oneself vigorously, acceptance of God's will lead to the suppleness, relaxation, and confidence that comes with true humility.

Recognizing God's presence and love even in the worst of circumstances can bring healing. Acceptance of His will is possible when one recognizes that His plan is for the good of all, and that He allows evil because He wishes to bring an even greater good from it.

One can transcend bitterness, skepticism, and pessimism with a solid foundation for hope. Hope, ultimately, is the faith that God will bless you. Hopefulness is possible if one believes that God is loving, and intervenes in creation in a very personal way.

Christianity has a particular well-developed foundation of hope. Jesus' powerful message of hope (transcending all trauma, even a shameful death on a cross) is why Christianity is known as the religion of hope.

Although a traumatic event remains an evil, the growth you achieve can be a blessing and gift if you take the steps to heal it. Trauma offers you the opportunity to understand and respond more deeply to all human suffering. As one heals trauma, it becomes redemptive.

Among the various steps of moving beyond trauma, the willingness to become vulnerable again may be the most difficult step. Frequent re-assessment of your limits, abilities and willingness to be vulnerable can help keep you on the healing path.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

PAST EMOTIONAL TRAUMA IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper. (See all disease stages on JB)

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
