The body holds what the mind can’t process.  If we review yesterday’s piece on frequency, it may be a little easier to see how this can happen, how the frequency we put out isn’t familiar to us so we end up with dysfunction. The mind is a powerful thing and it will do whatever it can to protect itself.  It’s a biological supercomputer that responds to input and based on the programming, it can respond differently to the same input.  With that being said, we always need to remember that we are responsible for what we put in the mind.  We can choose who and what we surround ourselves with, the content we take in.  If we take in negative, eventually the mind expects negative and becomes unfamiliar with how to process or choose positive.  When we behave in ways that aren’t aligned with our authentic selves (again, read yesterday’s piece if you haven’t) we are creating misfires in the mind and making it really difficult to function in a natural way.

There is also the trauma facet of this.  I know trauma can be a polarizing subject with those who don’t believe in the impact of trauma all the way to those who embrace any opportunity to be a victim.  The reality is trauma can be something different for everyone—that is 100% true.  Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, and I would add that it’s a lingering pattern of negative response/coping tactics to that trigger.  When the mind doesn’t understand what happened to itself, or the mind/body/soul, it creates confusion on how to shift the frequency.  The body will absolutely shove that down in the body and it will manifest physically.  When we seek to move forward in life and adjust our frequency, we need to address these physical components so we are able to sync our mind with our actions.  Our thoughts and beliefs need to be aligned with what we do in order to move forward.      

On that last part, I want to encourage all people dealing with any type of trauma to understand that coping with trauma means addressing it and talking about it in a relaxed state.  The goal isn’t to feel it again, it’s to process it so it can flow out of the body.  That isn’t something we need to hold onto.  That is something that merely holds us back and keeps us from becoming who we are meant to be.  Taking care of ourselves is the best way to process these things.  It can start with a simple question like, “Why does my back hurt all the time?” and go down the path of eliminating a physical cause and start looking a little deeper, we may find there are things we are holding onto and those things become a lead weight in our lives.  In the process of healing and letting go, in self-improvement, self-care and addressing the physical and mental and spiritual aspect of ourselves needs to be addressed as well.  Let go of the fear, and look for the answer.
