Spirit Being Human

For many years, I was unable to express my truth. I was completely scared to speak up, but I have always felt that I need to write and create. Verbal expression has been extremely hard for me, but I knew I needed to write and create for my healing, and maybe this writing will inspire more creativity and eventually clearer verbal expression. That is my wish. I believe we come into the world as spiritual beings and, as we live our life on Earth, we learn. We aspire to experience rewarding, meaningful human adventures. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could leave our lived-in human bodies when we decided to, as conscious beings, a little wiser, more content, and changed by our lived experience on Earth. What happens if we experience trauma, tears, death, lies, shame, and regret? What becomes of us then? How do we experience life through the lens of trauma, and can we overcome the long-term effects of complex trauma later in life, even if the trauma occurred at a very young age or in utero? Everyone has a story and is exquisitely unique; whether you are young or old, your story is valid and important. Whether we express ourselves through books, music, art, crafts, or other creative tools, we all have unique masterpieces inside us. Our perceptions of our experiences are made up of unique colours, patterns, senses, and signatures of our individual life journeys. This is mine. In this book, I highlight the traumatic events as individual stories that occurred at various times in my life, and I explain how these events have stayed with me and shaped my behaviour. These traumatic events can finally be shared with you, from my safe place. I have stopped running and can reflect without feeling the intensity of these usually triggering memories. For me these stories link with the energy of the base chakra in yoga.
