WOOOOOO….Spiralers! This conversation WENT THERE. We were absolutely blown open by Christopher’s inspiring journey and awareness. His insights took us to places in both our bodies and minds that we had never gone before and we know you are going to be mind blown, too.In this conversation, Christopher Maher shares his healing journey starting from his stint as a US Navy SEAL to today as a wellness pioneer. Chris explains how his intense military training and childhood trauma led to physical and emotional imbalances in his body that became impossible to ignore.Through his exploration of traditional Chinese medicine and other healing modalities, Chris began to understand the importance of listening to the body's messages and addressing the root causes of stress (and the years long accumulation of it). He emphasizes the need to move away from Western medicine for himself and embrace a holistic approach to healing that would not only manage stressors but resolve them.Christopher introduces us to his coined term “strauma,” which is the accumulation of stress over time that becomes trauma. Many of us don’t think of trauma when we consider stress; we often think of horror-filled stories but “strauma” is a type of trauma every human in our society deals with. And while that is true, we are using daily stress management tools to address issues that began within the womb and even long before that with our ancestors.To address our lifetime accumulated stress, which lives in our bodies and therefore is experienced in our outer lives…Chris suggests that we must resolve stress at different levels of consciousness and use particular modalities to target the different bodies we all have: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual. (Think of “body” in this sense as a collection of energy rather than your arms and legs!)In addition to learning about how stress over time can traumatize the body, you will also learn mind-tickling facts about resentment affects certain organs and determines our behaviour. So much of what Chris had to say truly blew our minds and we were able to connect back to a truth we already knew but on an even deeper level with respect to generational healing - That we are here to break the cycle and welcome a more conscious, loving world.Highlights:-The difference between stress management & stress resolutionHow stress not only impacts our bodies through daily stressors but can accumulate over time and turn into trauma, affecting every human on the planetResolving lifetime accumulated stress by addressing the different levels of consciousness and energetic bodies including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodiesWhy we constantly project ourselves into the future and experience anxiety and racing thoughts-How emotions like resentment can be related to the receptive and blocked energies within our organ system- How our cells carry the resonance and data from our ancestors’ trauma that is passed down through generations (AND how healing our own cells directly and spontaneously impacts the generations behind and ahead of us)Timestamps:00:00 Life Story and Background as a Navy SEAL05:22 The Connection Between Trauma and Physical Pain07:04 Exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine09:17 The Body's Truth + the Need for Pain13:34 Recognizing the Limitations of Western Medicine15:27 The Turning Point18:39 Connecting Stress and Pain Resolution22:20 Moving from Stress Management to Stress Resolution23:54 Negative and Positive Stress Management Tools25:01 The Accumulation of Stress over Time27:21 The Four Bodies and Their Storage of Stress31:11 The Orientation of Each Body to Time34:00 The Impact of Ancestral Trauma38:18 Becoming Present Through All Four Bodies40:08 The Transmission of Stress to Future Generations42:14 The Impact of Healing on Future Generations50:21 The Toxicity of Resentment52:26 Resources for Healing–FINALLY!
