The dream is that you use this book to metabolize the trauma, step into your True Powerful Self and be a living demonstration of what is possible. Everyone can be a lighthouse, and everyone has a purpose. After working with hundreds of people, I know this to be a fact. If someone is just a tiny bit willing to grow, a tiny bit willing to be kind to themselves and tiny bit willing to face the hard stuff....the harmonizing principle, nature, grace, or (also known as the divine) will handle the details. A drop of willingness merges you with the ocean of Love, and ignites the organizing principle of the universe on your behalf. Trauma is any pain that you did not have the tools, safety, or support at the time to heal. This pain that got stuck in your body and psyche; is trauma. Trauma can be from childhood, ancestral, culturally or religious, medical, or systemic oppression. I believe those that are the most traumatized have even more fertilizer to become great healers and voices of change. As an incest, and cancer survivor and now thriver------------ I know this to be true. Re-connecting back to our innate worth, bodies and nature we reclaim our power back from the thousands of years of raping the Earth, women, people of color and torture to animals. There is personal trauma, collective trauma in agricultural practices, racism, and power-over oppressive systems. This is why self-love is a radical act.
