In my work I witness people who have trauma trapped in their souls, and I enable them to release and heal this through listening and energy healing techniques.

This is not a concept discussed in the mainstream, nor culturally acceptable here in the UK.

However I have seen, and continue to see, that the soul itself carries the trauma of previous life events.

Sometimes experiences in this lifetime can go so deep as to affect the very soul. There can be different layers of trauma, depending on the severity of the experience. From physical trauma, to mental, emotional and then spiritual.

Increasingly research is providing us with a greater understanding of trauma - in the body, psychologically, and even inter-generationally.

I know soul trauma to be a real and true phenomenon, that perhaps one day will be validated scientifically. But the soul is elusive, mysterious and possibly beyond evidence-based studies. (Who knows what the future holds?)

Nevertheless it is part of my path to offer healing to traumatised souls.

Whether the trauma was experienced in this lifetime or a former life, there remains damage and a disconnection to that part of the soul.

Many people will have experienced the horrors of war, abuse and unpleasant deaths over the course of history. Persecution, torture and all manner of the worst of human beings' actions, which continues in the present day.

The soul remembers.

At a very deep level, you may have a sense of internal distress, panic or confusion. In the same way as current life trauma affects the system, you may feel triggered...but it is unlikely that you can find the root as to why.

The healing of trauma, and deep soul healing, is vital at this point in time for the planet.

The healing must occur for the evolution of society - to transform itself into a force for good. To move beyond pre-conditioned, fear-based reactions and into a greater state of awareness and mindful responses.

It is only through healing the wounds and damage that have shaped much of history, that we can emerge as a kinder, more compassionate society. And the world needs souls like that right now.
