How many of us take the time to process large and small traumatic incidents? It seems more likely that we put up a facade of strength and pretend to be ok when in fact we are not ok. Or, worse yet, we begin to take action from a place of trauma before the trauma has been processed within ourselves. On an average day there are so many things that could illicit a trauma response. Micro-aggressions expressed in casual racist or sexist comments, mean-spirited sarcasm from friends or family, or the negative self-talk that perpetuates cycles of abuse. And, there is the real abuse that many people unfortunately face daily. As a yogi I now have tools to guide me through the inner work of my own process. But I didn’t always have those tools. It’s more often the case that we are ill-equipped to handle and process the hurt that we experience. It’s less the case that we find the support needed to heal. That is, unless we engage in devoted spiritual practice and have access to therapists and other healers that can help lead the way. But you have to take the time to do your work. _ Sometimes yogis try and share “love and light” with others who are in the midst of healing. But, your work is your work. When you show up and offer unsolicited advice to someone who is traumatized or currently suffering, while it may be well-intended, it is actually quite often rooted in control and judgement. When you tell a person who is angry about injustice to “spread love” you police their tone and judge them from your perch of privilege and and invalidate their anger. Anger doesn’t go away by being suppressed. Anger heals when justice is present. If you’re a light-worker and truly want to spread love, my advice to you is to be loving yourself, and love is total unconditional acceptance. Of course, it starts with yourself. If you feel compelled to share with someone in pain, make sure that your advice is solicited and accepting. If your advice is trying to get someone to stop being so angry or worked up, the real reason you feel compelled to speak up may have more to do with your own discomfort with anger than anything else. We all have work to do and it almost always begins with ourselves.
