How to heal wounds from the past that sit as blocks in your energy field.

What happens when you get hurt, physically, emotionally or spiritually as a child?

Difficult and wounding things happen to us as we grow up.

Whether or not these wounds stick around and become undischarged energy blocks in our body, nervous system and energy field, depends on whether we got our needs for care and accompaniment met at the time.

If we had support to process the shock, bracing, retraction, fight, flight, or freeze set off in our body, then this highly charged energy will run through our system and complete itself.

We can come back to a nervous system state of calm, safety and a grounded energy field.

If we had the emotional support we needed through caring, warm presence and accompaniment, the emotional charge can also be processed. 

As we allow our feelings to flow with encouragement and support, the charge of emotion flows through our energy field, body and circuits of emotion (our neurobiological wiring).

We feel relief and completion.

This does not always happen.

The times we did have the right support…interestingly, we probably don’t remember!

Why? Because these incidents are complete, integrated and no longer live in our energy field as a block.

But we don’t always get the support and safety we need.

Few caretakers or parents were are trauma trained. 

They don’t understand what kind of support to give in order to allow the strong charge of an overwhelming event to flow through and resolve.

We tend to try to reassure people rather than resonate with them, and to calm them down to pull them out of the discharge process, rather than hold space for what the body knows how to do if given the right conditions.

Somatic Experiencing (which I am trained in) and other offshoots of 'somatic therapy' which understand that trauma is a physiological event, are only about 50 years old.

Certainly our parents and grandparents did not have access to this kind of help. So some of the blocks we carry are even generational imprints that our ancestors could not process.

From an energy healing point of view, these experiences get locked in our energy fields as a FROZEN PSYCHIC TIME CONGLOMERATE. 

FROZEN:

When wounding events happen, and we can’t discharge them, the emotional and physiological energy gets frozen in our system. It is now a block being held in our energy field, or a charge being held in the nervous system. This block can cause physical symptoms, or emotional challenges of repression or over sensitivity.

PSYCHIC:

On the level of your energy field, energy is also consciousness. It contains thoughts, emotions and impressions. Energy blocks are full of such ‘content’ which is why, when we touch back into them through healing work, their psychic content begins to unpack and express. You may flashback to a memory of the original incident when this psychic content gets animated. Emotions you were not able to feel will flow. Pent up physical energy will unpack and you will feel it as sensation. 

TIME:

When we stop our energy flow during a wounding event, the consciousness trapped in that block is locked in at that age. Because it is stuck, it does not mature and is frozen in time. This is why, when that block gets triggered by an event in the present, we regress to thoughts and behaviours that are much younger than our current age. Sometimes we are aware of this regression…sometimes not! This gets quite messy in relationships when we are 'pinging' each others' old wounds and reacting from a regressed age.

I have developed great radar for tuning into what age of consciousness a block is stuck at when it animates and is present in your energy field. In this way, I help you to identify the original wound, and also know how to appropriately help you attend to this age of your ‘inner child’.

CONGLOMERATE:

Wounds that have similar themes gather together in your energy field in a conglomerate. They have similar energetic vibration because of their psychic content, and in the world of energy, like attracts like. All these wounds get glued together into one energy block.

---

We each have ‘wound themes’ that run through our lives which are part of what we have come to heal as our personal life task.

We experience these as the ‘patterns’ that are like the theme music of our life! 

An example would be the wound of feeling abandoned. For example, the Frozen Psychic Time events in a conglomerate could be:

• You were left in an incubator for several days after birth and mom could not come visit.

• Mom got sick when you were 6 months old and had to go to the hospital for 2 weeks. 

• You went to school for your first day. Your parents were also distressed by your distress so they dropped you off and disappeared quickly, thinking this would be easier for you.

• You were part of a peer group in high school, and your best friend changed their alliance and stopped being friends with you.

• Now this pattern will likely repeat in your intimate relationships. 

• When you sense the potential for being abandoned the entire conglomerate can get triggered and the intense feelings in your body and emotions are as old as your newborn self, but you may not be conscious of that aspect or age of the Frozen Psychic Time Conglomerate when it’s triggered. 

So what do we do about all of this undigested pain!?

Energy Healing and Time Travel Empathy to the rescue!

In our healing sessions, as I hold the space to help you ‘drop in’ to your body, you will be able to touch back into blocks of frozen energy and allow them to start to ‘unpack’. If they are big, scary traumas, we will do this very carefully and gently in small bites. 

It may take several sessions to ‘digest’ a big event, or you may be able to discharge most of it in one session.

Sometimes you will clear multiple 'blobs' of blockage connected in a conglomerate in one session.

As the psychic content bubbles up, you will be able to connect what you are feeling back to certain memories or incidents in the Trauma Timeline that I have you create as part of our work together in 1:1 healing. 

The Trauma Timeline also helps me to track what we have worked on, and what still needs more attention.

If you want to start creating your own Trauma Timeline (and good stuff from your life too!) here is a copy of the document I share with my clients.

As you feel the blocked energy starting to thaw, we begin the 'Time Travel Empathy' process to transform the Frozen Psychic Time Conglomerate.

How old is this part of you bubbling up?

I guide you to sink in and see if you can ‘find’ the younger you who is experiencing the old wound still frozen in time. 

Where are you? What are you wearing? How is ‘little you’ feeling? You will be able to feel it in your body or see yourself at this age in an inner image.

Now little you has someone who is paying attention. You can visualize bringing your adult self into the scene.

Your adult will know how to intuitively attune to just the right amount of contact younger you can tolerate. This is called ‘accompaniment’ and it is a critical part of healing trauma, especially the ‘alarmed aloneness’ that can go with it.

If it is a big shock trauma, little you may have been very overwhelmed. Sometimes they cannot handle much more stimulation, and they just need to sense you in proximity. It is enough to sense a safe available person there attuning to them.

If it was not so overwhelming, you may be able to sit next to them, hold their hand, or cuddle them.

Now you are accompanying your frozen, wounded child self psychically. This accompaniment or a safe, attuned, resonating other makes all the difference.

I am there to be your 'back up' accompaniment, but you are learning how to be your own healer with my support.

I may help you make some ‘empathy guesses’ as to what little you is really feeling and experiencing in order to resonate with them. You will feel the effect of this as physical relief and a calming of your nervous system.

Emotions little you needed to feel back then, may now flow. 

The block is starting to express, transform and evolve!

The energy in your aura is changing as the block expresses. The energy charge of the trauma held in your body and nervous system is discharging.

It is quite amazing to witness you go into a trance state doing this inner work, or alpha brainwave state. This is a creative, meditative state, where neural programs can also be overwritten in your neurobiology. It is also the state we heal in, and deeply relaxing.

Talking and mental processing happens in Beta brainwave state. That is why we need to go deeper than talking to change your inner experience and bring old hurts to resolution and integration. You need to get into a deeper state of consciousness.

With the visualization, you have tricked your body into believing and feeling that someone was actually there who could give you exactly what you needed to heal at that time.

Your brain and body respond physiologically and energetically as if this was true. You are re-writing your body memories. This is trauma 'renegotiation'.

The Frozen Psychic Time Conglomerate can now resolve and the younger you can grow up and mature. It is no longer frozen at the age the hurt happened.

You can even visualize taking little you out of the scene to a safer place where they can play, or be surrounded by nature or other soothing, healing environments. You can bring them back to your house and give them your spare bedroom to stay in!

If we stay with it long enough, the conglomerate will naturally start to cascade back to connected incidents.

Usually this happens backward through time. You may start with something that happened when you were 7, and as that begins to resolve, your body/mind shifts you back to a similar incident in the conglomerate where you were 3, and then 6 months.

I frequently work with people on birth trauma, or in utero trauma, where core wounds and belief systems get laid down.

Yes, we can do this, even when you are 50 years old or more!

Sometimes the conglomerate will happen forward through time, from the original incident to all the other similar themed wounds that happened. Your own energy field will guide you. Your inner wisdom and innate intelligence knows the way and I will guide you.

As you practice this process 1-3 times in our initial 3 months of work, or many, many times in 6 months or more of work together, you will have an embodied understanding of the process of “Time Travel Empathy” and be able to drop into your body when you are in distress to do this work for yourself!

Amazing! You have a powerful tool to take care of your own stress, understand your wounds and patterns, and heal.

Here is a great video from one of my teachers, Sarah Peyton about how she guides others through Time Travel Empathy. This is the term she coined for doing this work. 

The term 'Frozen Psychic Time Conglomerate' was coined by Barbara Brennan. You can read more about it in chapter 1 of her book Light Emerging…or read up when we begin healing work together! I include a copy of this book in the 1:1 Pain to Purpose healing journey.

Other practices sometimes call this work “reparenting” or “inner child work”.

It works best when you can get into alpha brainwave state through your body sensations so that you are re-imprinting your psyche and doing deep clearing in your energy field.

Time Travel Empathy is very effective for quickly rewiring your brain, and discharging trauma from your field.

We all have these Frozen Psychic Time blocks in our energy fields.

Our personal life task of healing our deepest wounds, is to become aware of this frozen consciousness, bring loving accompaniment, and grow ourselves up!
