Therapy
In purely verbal therapy this issue is almost intractable – the origin is so hidden that it hardly matters how long the counselling would be, it is unlikely to be uncovered.
We find the most effective healing procedure is to remember, to recognise and then to forgive.
Strange as it may seem we can remember,. As the ‘event’ took place during our very creation, and as the impact is totally imbued into the cellular structure of our bones and muscles, we need to access buried and sensitive inter-uterine events, feelings and decisions. This has to be at the cellular level as felt in the body in order to bring the fullest possible consciousness to the event. Once understood consciously the disharmony dissipates slowly.
The root cause will seldom be removed totally. It will stay through life, though we can alleviate the intensity of the disturbances it has caused, and turn them into positives to discover what we have gained from the event.
We find that sandplay usually provides the clearest diagnosis. These are the steps in the therapeutic process:
We support the client to drop below mind into the body-feeling level. We call this process Attunement.
From there we regress into womb feelings – with no need for hypnosis.
To support this we hold the space energetically. This space Jungians call the Metwelt. We call it a communion between souls.
In our feelings we are ahead of them, energetically holding the common space between us, so they may descend within themselves. In one sense we are in the womb with them. This is hard to describe, but it works quite wonderfully.
To do this we must be totally silent within, with no agenda and no reaction to the intensity of their feelings.
This is not as hard as it sounds, for if we have done our own inner work, then our feelings of our own separations and loss and grief can remain at rest during the session.
Then it is safe for the client to venture back to the womb and stay there. This helps the client feel safe so they may drop further into their body-feeling level.
This allows the unconscious to work through us both.
It opens us to our intuitive abilities so we sense t heir situation, and a deep knowing arises from the common field we sit in. From that space of the unconscious whatever arises is connected to the heart of the issue.
Then we just wait for the client to make their own discoveries.
You will know when they are back in the womb. The client always seems to know what happened,
what it felt like to be two, and then only one.
As they are still resting in the body-feeling level we can actually talk them through their predicament. Before attunement, talking won’t be nearly as meaningful. It is incredibly effective once they are there, and is almost always pertinent to the heart of the issue. This talk will be heard by the soul.
There may be shock, deep tears, or just a profound understanding. Realisations should be deeply-felt.
It is important to continue until the there is either grief or some deep Ah-Ha! Then the sense of loneliness and of something missing will abate, and there will be a gradual rebalancing of one's inner values.
Explain as little as possible. At the end hold and support as much as you can
The best outcome would be if they had total consciousness about how they have set up life, This replaces feelings of incomprehension with the unshakable knowledge that the source of their pain was in the womb.
In this deep work remember that
The discerning mind was created much later than this, and does not have a clue.
The emotional body cannot be trusted on its own, for that part in us is too powerfully influenced
by more recent events, beliefs and confusions.
The body remembers well, for the story is written in the cellular structure.
The energetic structure and the soul remember best, for they were present from the beginning.
The exploration needs to be in a very safe and quiet space. It is fine in group work if all those present are sensitive to deep work, and don’t try to intervene or psychically interfere.
