Full
healing of trauma
(unedited
excerpt from my upcoming article Immortality and Internal Arts of
China and Japan)
The second category of psychic injury or
trauma requires specific tools, specific instructions and endless of
patience. If one has been traumatized in childhood and lived with the
trauma for decades for it to become embedded with one's moment to
moment psyche, it is logical that one can't just pull it out and be
done with it just like that. However, I am certain it is possible to
heal all and any traumas when the above needs are met.
As
a side remark, I have always found it puzzling from the professionals
of psychology and psychotherapy that one could learn to live with
one's traumas but not heal them or get rid of them entirely. This is
understandable from the point of view of their methods but makes no
sense in the context of tantric yoga according to which anyone with
perfect inner nature can reach and tap that potential in full in a
single lifetime. In my ears it sounds exactly like dharma teachers
stating that there wouldn't be practices to directly generate
awakenings. It might be true from the perspective of the systems and
traditions known to them personally but it is mistaken and misleading
from the perspective of dharma universally. There are practices to
generate awakenings, one after the next and there are practices to
heal traumas completely and perfectly. I know this from firsthand
experience. In the light of the traumatic history of the mankind it
is logical to assume that people of the ancient times, many of who
attained lightbody, were traumatized prior to their yogic training
and attainments. Returning to the basic state actually heals both the
mind and the body. It is real.
