Wow, very powerful post, Allysha! Thank you! I've done a mix of modalities...talk, yoga, sound meditation, acupuncture and writing. I walk the labyrinth in my co-housing community every day, and that's given me lots of grounding and renewal. The practice has quietly encouraged me to wake up from double CPTSD fog and make the scary changes I've needed to make in my life. A friend gave me acupuncture sessions in return for my house/pet-sitting for her. I think that helped with the waking up process, too. I also saw a Jungian depth therapist for a few months. Would love to return to her. While I worked with her, she introduced me to a shaman classmate of hers who conducted soul retrievals. I completed two sessions with her to start me off on re-integrating some of my soul parts that have been missing for years. Once in a while, through a dream, I realize that more of the re-integration has happened on some level. I know the idea for yoga and massages is that they are meant to be a practice instead of a one-off, but the isolated sessions still helped. ~:0)
* I've participated in one of Kim Rosen's poetry retreats - she's awesome! I highly recommend her. ~:0)
Wow… it’s sounds like you’ve really embarked on a powerful Path of healing and balancing your inner and outer worlds. Labyrinths have been a deep stabilizing presence on my Path as well, and I’m glad to hear you bring that energy into the conversation.
I love that you’ve moved toward healing from several different directions—I think a lot of us can relate to that, especially with the endemic trauma in our world that shows up in so many areas of our most/mind/spirit/etc. I think it can be very powerful to try on different modalities at different times, both to see what resonates personally and because each provides different nutrients for the body and soul.
