Working with Imprints of War Traumas in Successive Generations with Greater Efficiency.

The shock of war in the family and in the society surrounding it, if unresolved, can continue to traumatize successive generations. While gestating in the wombs of survivors and their children, and then through relating to them, resonating with them, and reacting to them on an ongoing basis, and by being immersed in the collective patterns of war trauma in their surroundings, successive generations in countries such as Germany affected severely by war bear the traumatic stress symptoms of wars concluded generations back, symptoms such as fear, hyper-vigilance, anxiety, migraine, sleeplessness, high need for control, addictions, depression, and diverse emotional and attachment problems.

Successive generations can be imprinted with the shock of war, deep in their central nervous system and in their subtle energy fields (which often include conscious and unconscious experiences of terror, rage, global high intensity activation, fragmentation, fear of going crazy, and shell shock, and deep constriction or flaccidity in all layers of their physiology) in their pre and peri natal environments, and in post natal interactions with their caregivers and others in their surroundings, and through the collective field that surrounds them, throughout their lives.

Unless these foundational disturbances that persist deep in the physiology of the brain and body and in the subtle energy filed of the individual are addressed and resolved, clinical psychotherapeutic and other somatic work with war traumas more often than not end up just scratching the surface of the problem.

And as bleak as this might sound, in the very subtle energy fields and in the physiology of the body and brain that carry these patterns of the shock of war across generations, and in our awareness that hold all levels of our being together, there are inherent mechanisms of self-regulation that we can utilize to heal with much greater efficiency the long-lasting effects of war in ourselves, in others around us, and in the collective, so that we can live more fulfilling emotional and relational lives, free of the persistent symptoms of stress and trauma.

In the three-day workshop, which will be done primarily through two to three demonstrations a day with the participants, the knowledge of how war traumas affect soldiers’ as well as civilians’ awareness, body and brain physiology, and subtle body, and how these patterns transfer from one generation to the next, and of how to work with them with greater efficiency, towards not just the resolution of inter-generational symptoms of stress, trauma, emotion, and attachment, but also to access and embody and manifest greater energies in one’s life.
