This is Part 2 of the previous Love Letter about Shapeshifting. This time – on trauma, mytho-somatic realms and guardianship.

Trauma is a shapeshifter too.

Growth patterns and trauma patterns have a very intricate relationship.

Trauma changes the patterns along which we grow.

There is this trauma from which comes pain, and shame, and guilt, and regret, and fear, and medicine, and beauty. All these things are deeply intertwined. The things that defy the linearity of good and bad, of right and wrong.

The tapestry of Life.

Trauma is a shapeshifter.

It has multiple faces.
It deflects.
It hides.
It projects.
It merges and fuses.
It denies its existence.

How do we dance with the shapeshifter that is trauma?

Historically one of the primary ways to do trauma work was coming together in a ritual. Continuous return to the shapeshifting trance state, in which Bodies become more fluid and somatic patterns over time can be shifted.

Trance and trauma repatterning are closely tied to one another.

Trance states….

The states of dynamic stillness, beyond the void, the time outside of time, the space outside of space, the mythical realms.

Trauma often lives in the mythical realms of our Bodyverse. The realms of dragons and castles, spirits and angels, archetypes and symbols. The realms that are so intelligent and often hidden in the mirror dimension. The mirror dimension that is our Subconscious.  

Dysregulation, imprints, traumatic patterning show up as a protector. As a guardian.

How would your perception of Self and the World change if you truly deeply felt this – “my dysregulation, my trauma is my guardian”? It came to be with a very good reason. It stayed embedded in my Body with a very good reason.

And so we go on a journey. A journey that is incredibly difficult, beautiful, poetic, challenging, and joyous, all at once. A journey of separation and shapeshifting back and remembering. Over and over again.

In the School of Somatic Wizardry we go beyond the normative “nervous system regulation“, we include the whole of your human experience.

What is it truly like to be a human on this Planet?
What is it like to melt back into your aliveness?
What is it like to architect a Body vast as Space?
What is it like to meet your Life expansively?

I will be here as a layer of support when contributing to the old paradigms becomes unsustainable for you.
