00:05:18.110 --> 00:05:18.600 Yeah. 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.240 They repair mm-hmm. 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.639 . 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:20.800 Mm-hmm. 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.519 , they regenerate. 00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:43.959 And when I brought it to, uh, my clients, the idea of if I gave you a year off of healing, of working your practice of healing, and I'm gonna ask you to be conscious of repairing, maybe repairing a sense of emotional, uh, ha habits or, or compensations mm-hmm. 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:59.160 , if I was to ask you to repair your relationship with your daughter or your repair, the, the monkey chatter in your brain about self negative talk, if I was to ask you to be more cellular mm-hmm. 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:08.838 and be aware of how your body is supporting and is a container for these emotional, psychological, and spiritual work mm-hmm. 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.360 , and that we align ourselves more with the cellular function mm-hmm. 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:18.480 and communicate with ourselves this way, how would that feel? 00:06:18.588 --> 00:06:19.199 Mm-hmm. 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.399 , everyone said that they had a sense of burden released. 00:06:23.401 --> 00:06:23.838 Yeah. 00:06:23.910 --> 00:06:40.160 That the practice of healing also came with the sense of, um, judgment that they, they didn't do something right, or that they stayed away from their diet or they didn't do their, their meditation or their yoga or their exercise mm-hmm. 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:40.240 . 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:48.720 And that it was, um, kinda a double-edged sword that they were, um, one step forward, two steps back type of thing. 00:06:48.721 --> 00:06:48.959 Mm-hmm. 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.319 mm-hmm. 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:49.399 . 00:06:49.459 --> 00:07:04.199 And with the notion of repair as opposed to the whole premise of I'm working my practice to heal, um, it was lighter, more doable, um, smaller chunks. 00:07:04.201 --> 00:07:04.800 Mm-hmm. 00:07:04.838 --> 00:07:16.160 , uh, they could track their progress, that any activity that they participated in to assist in their body repairing mm-hmm. 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:16.600 mm-hmm. 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.399 , um, gave them great spirit, they felt in compliance with themselves mm-hmm. 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.519 and there was a, a larger sense of satisfaction mm-hmm. 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:26.600 . 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:30.560 So while the notion of, so that's twofold. 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:39.079 One is, I, I get kind of irritated by just having something very sacred, um, becoming a trend. 00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:40.560 I hear you. 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:40.959 Yeah. 00:07:40.961 --> 00:07:43.879 I I didn't get that you throughout the whole word. 00:07:43.880 -->

00:07:48.360 It was just the way it was being modified, it wasn't integral enough. 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.759 It didn't include the, all the moving parts. 00:07:50.761 --> 00:07:54.879 It was hyper fixated and focused and maybe even doing people harm. 00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:55.199 Yeah. 00:07:55.709 --> 00:07:56.199 Yeah. 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:11.970 Like if everybody says, I have a wound of trauma and I have to avoid, and I'm limiting, you know, this is, I see that as a very negative trend, and I've watched it in my own practice where people will say, so-and-so's narcissistic, that's also trending. 00:08:11.971 --> 00:08:13.089 Everybody's narcissistic. 00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:13.209 Yeah. 00:08:13.211 --> 00:08:13.689 That's a word. 00:08:13.690 --> 00:08:17.209 And I'm not saying that this doesn't exist, um, but to a certain extent, we all are. 00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:30.170 And my wound, my woundology, my study of my wound is leading me into deep, dark de depths of depression and despair and all the D words. 00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:30.449 Yes. 00:08:30.451 --> 00:08:43.850 And so, as a trauma specialist, I find that I join you in that because when I was trained in emdr, for instance, eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing, they've talked a lot about resources. 00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:44.330 Mm-hmm. 00:08:44.409 --> 00:08:46.529 , you can't do trauma work. 00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:58.639 You can't do the bilateral stimulation of a person's eyes or their, their body in order to help them process through like, let's say rape or the, you know, the murder or some horrible thing mm-hmm. 00:08:58.678 --> 00:09:02.519 , um, without he helping them access their strengths. 00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:02.879 Yeah. 00:09:03.049 --> 00:09:08.159 So you always begin with what do you already know? 00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:10.799 What already helps you? 00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:12.639 Can you visualize it? 00:09:12.789 --> 00:09:18.720 Like the, the, the work that, like you were talking about the cell, like we're, we're, we're not even like it's pre-conscious. 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:18.919 Mm-hmm. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:19.720 , I'm talking to you right now. 00:09:19.721 --> 00:09:25.759 I'm digesting my food, my blood is circulating, lymphatic cells are eating up stuff that I don't want in my blood. 00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:28.519 So I'm, I'm in semi-permeable self. 00:09:29.308 --> 00:09:30.120 C E L F 00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:30.799 C E L F. 00:09:30.801 --> 00:09:31.080 Yeah. 00:09:31.081 --> 00:09:33.200 And in the same way mentally. 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:33.799 Yeah. 00:09:33.801 --> 00:09:53.440 When I'm having thoughts, if I'm in a trauma lock, uh, one of my, one of my, uh, awarenesses is when someone's in a trauma lock, we get them to move their eyes around brain spotting, getting them to move their eyes to a place where they're not locked and they can access their breath, they can access what heals them. 00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:56.759 The idea that we cannot access What's that? 00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:03.120 It's not inside, which is something you brought up last semester in our SOPA sessions that within us mm-hmm. 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.159 is a universe of knowledge. 00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:11.919 And if we as healers don't access, we say, I hold this magic ticket to you and it'll cost you all this money. 00:10:11.921 --> 00:10:14.678 And then when I tell you you're well, you can go, that's sick. 00:10:15.649 --> 00:10:28.080 My job as a healer is to access your inner resources, the things you know, and bring, make them conscious to you so that when we do the memory work or the retrieval, you can rest there. 00:10:28.081 --> 00:10:28.558 Yeah. 00:10:28.590 --> 00:10:29.639 Rest and repair. 00:10:29.830 --> 00:10:31.840 Rest and repair and return. 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:32.720 Um, how 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:32.960 Beautiful. 00:10:32.961 --> 00:10:33.399 I love that. 00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:34.519 I, I, yes. 00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:53.919 Did a session with Mac Lakota, who is a wonderful depth of psychologist, psychotherapist, and, um, he has a program in, um, just holding space for us to, to acknowledge this place of frozen entities. 00:10:53.921 --> 00:11:06.879 Like when we, we have all of these, um, these forgotten parts of ourselves and this implicit memory, and, and they're being very, and I call them being very polite, they're waiting off in the corner pocket. 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:07.399 Mm-hmm. 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:14.320 waiting for that opportunity to, to reemerge and, and yet they're always on the quest to return home. 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:14.960 Mm-hmm. 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:15.039 . 00:11:15.058 --> 00:11:32.678 And, and part of the work that Laca is providing is a sense of, um, disengaging with the act of moving forward and, and being in that well of where we can be comfortable. 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:44.480 We, we become comfortable with all of those parts that are not repaired, that all of those parts that we would, um, traditionally want to heal. 00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:49.279 But the idea is that we we're not, we're not judging them. 00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:58.120 That we accept them as they are, and that we create a sense of safety, and that the first step of, of working toward homeostasis is safety. 00:11:58.190 --> 00:11:58.799 Mm-hmm. 00:11:58.840 --> 00:11:58.879 . 00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:03.279 And so for me, the idea, and, and this obviously speaks to my own inner work. 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:03.480 Yeah. 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.720 Instead of healing, I wanna repair mm-hmm. 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:05.799 . 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:13.200 Um, I'm also in this place in my life where I'm repairing everything, whether it's my car, my house, my body, you know, my teeth in my hair, all of it. 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:13.639 Mm-hmm. 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.120 , um, and, and working with the cells. 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:21.279 And so that, in that place of, as you're
