Not long ago I was conducting one of my training teleclasses in my Energy Healing Facilitator Training series. When we got to a place where I needed to demonstrate one of the processes, I asked for a volunteer student from the group who was willing to use a real issue for the demonstration.

A student volunteered, and her issue was a lot of anger she had been feeling toward her husband, for his way of treating her in the marriage.

As the student and I went through the short process, which was about releasing the cause of the anger, she suddenly had the realization that this pattern in her husband was exactly the same pattern that she experience with her father in her childhood. In that moment we were able to release a lot of that old charge.

She later expressed to the class that she had never made that connection of the present marital problem and her very similar childhood experience.

I'm relating the above here with my student's permission. And the reason I'm writing about it is to illustrate that this is not an isolated event. Rather it is quite common.

In my individual telephone client sessions, often the client has a "eureka moment" during the process, and sees quite clearly where the "roots" of the issue came from. In fact, it is my belief that every current issue or problem in our life stems from childhood trauma or indoctrination of one sort or another. These childhood events are carried on a subconscious level, and the memory literally resides in the cells of our body.

When I'm speaking of "trauma" here, I don't mean only physical trauma. When we are very young, we are extremely impressionable and vulnerable, and we take in words and energy on a very deep level as the absolute "truth". So, in our early years, we can experience emotional trauma just as deeply as physical trauma, often simply from hearing unkind words from the adults around us.

Simple neglect in early childhood can create traumatic messages for us. And it makes no difference if the words were unintended, or that our parents may have loved us deeply. There is still some limiting belief that is created in us, and remains operative in us, until such time as it is healed and integrated into our being.

So if you are currently experiencing an ongoing emotional reaction to someone, or some recurring situation in your life, it is helpful to understand that there are deeper roots, usually stemming from family of origin events. These deeper roots are held in the cells of our body, and although they can be healed, they cannot be healed simply by changing our current life circumstances.

This explains why so many of us tend to replicate one similar life situation after another. We see this so clearly in the areas of relationships and/or prosperity, where we often seemingly resolve a problem situation, only to go on to create another one just like the last.

It was Einstein who said "Problems cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them." My belief is that, in resolving life challenges, we cannot solve them only at the level they are presently showing up in the world.

We must lift those problems out along with the deeper roots that created them. When we are finally able to do that, the core issues finally become neutralized. At that point we are truly healed, and truly free!
