Shock and Trauma

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are shocking events for body and psyche. Accidents, operations, serious diseases, violent attacks, loss of friends and family members, but also “smaller” incidents such as rejections, disgrace, disrespect of personality, all this can be experienced as a shock. In such situations it occurs that the normally free flow of energy in our body congeals and freezes in our physical and mental energetic system.

At first we still function for a while just as an automat and thereby suppress the incident.

But quite often in the course of time, sometimes after weeks or months, health problems occur. A trauma has been created, a mental violation on several levels, which may trigger anxieties, pain sleep disorders, a feeling of threat, helplessness, depression, emptiness, fatigue, shortness of breath, etc. Traumatic experiences often enough give rise to negative mental patterns, which additionally tend to block our life situation (f. e. Life is dangerous. I may not feel safe. I am incapable.)

By an energetic healing treatment congealed energies are allowed to flow again. As a result the existing symptoms can disappear, a new access to the originally free flowing energy is established, and the energetic system is connected to the original resources.

I shall try to illustrate that with an example (very often experienced during my years of practise): A family is looking forward to a new baby. The calculated date of birth gets closer. All energy of the mother – body and mind – are adjusted to the new life, to give life, to lactate, to form a symbiosis, but also the energetic system of the new child: to be accepted and well received, nurtured, supported and sustained, to enjoy growth and development. All energy is orientated towards growth and development, abundance, nurturing; this energy pulsates in the mother and the child and naturally in the whole family system.

An unexpected problem (be it a difficult birth, shortness of breath of the child, a serious handicap, illness of the mother, incubator, but also hurtful remarks, carelessness towards the mother, etc.) can trigger such a shock in such a situation that all the naturally offered and available energy comes to a standstill and freezes. The early phase of bonding which is so critically important, may develop into a difficult and laborious, sometimes even sad period of time. The needs of the mother nor the ones of the child can be satisfied, holes and blockages remain in the energetic systems.

Energetic healing may help in such cases to fill the incurred deficiencies, to dissolve the blockages, and to connect mother and child to the resources of the free flowing life energy, to more joy of life, abundance and fullness.
