Another way to integrate the brain and body is after you have named the emotion, it is time to really FEEL it.

Where is it located at in your body? In your neck? Shoulders? Feet?

The key to true mental health is integration- an integrated brain and body. This is the opposite of living compartmentalized or fragmented as the world desires us to or as trauma (sin) can cause us to do.

A question I get a lot is...Why go back to the past? Followed with...I cannot change it so what's the use?

So how does it impact us? To uncover this, we need to start at the beginning-at the time of conception until birth. In the beginning, we connect. Connection has two sides; what I like to call, the Beauty and the Beast.

If you have a heartbeat, you have experienced trauma in some way or will. Its impact on you depends deeply on how solid your foundation is; are you built on sand or rock? In the posts to come, I will share with you exactly what this all means.
