Michael Jackson: 5 Lessons to Heal or Change Your Life
Today being the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, it seems an appropriate time to remember and re-focus on the benefits of healing the “inner child” of past pain and trauma with energy tools like EFT tapping with Matrix Reimprinting. When I wrote Michael Jackson: 5 Lessons to Heal of Change Your Life as an e-book (download free when you sign up now) and later recorded the audio, it was a few weeks after Michael’s passing. I was filled with compassion as replays of interviews with him, pointed to his longing and sadness about his “lost childhood”.
NEW INSIGHTS ON TRAUMA Since then, I have trained with Karl Dawson and Sasha Allenby, co-authors of the soon to be released book on Matrix Reimprinting using EFT. They refer to this childhood part of us as an ECHO (Energy Consciousness Hologram) and describe it as energy that gets stuck or “frozen” in time in terms of the fight, flight or freeze syndrome.
My clients often report feelings of shame and low self-worth when they think back to a childhood or teen memory when they did not fight back – or run away – but felt frozen on the spot, silent in the face of threat. “Why didn’t I say ‘STOP’?” they often ask me. The answer is because in the wild when an animal is being chased by a predator and losing hope of escape, they will collapse or freeze – a last resort which releases a flood of endorphins which will minimize the pain of an attack, should it occur.
A key factor here is explained in the work of trauma specialist Dr Robert Scaer, author of The Body Bears the Burden. Trauma is particularly damaging to children because it ruptures their boundaries necessary for feelings of safety – and this usually continues through into their feelings of being unsafe in the world as adults In the wild, an animal will shake, breathe quickly and perspire before running off.
But humans don’t have that releasing response. Hence the danger of long-held traumas frozen in time in our energy field…the body eventually cannot keep them at bay and they start to leak through to damage our health and well being. Today we can help release and repair the damage of traumas, big and small, to our inner child or ECHO.
For Michael Jackson, sadly this was not an option – but if we can learn something from that aspect of his life, we can contribute our bit to “save the world and make it a better place for you and me and the whole human race”.
Only 8 days remain in the Next Top Spiritual Author competition: Round One
What have I learned so far by entering my book You Can Break-Free Fast?
*That asking OUT LOUD for support from those you know is challenging
How do you process the ones that ignore you? How hard do you canvass and follow up on your emails?
* That it feels good to step up and out front with your BIG DREAMS
* That you need to “let go and let God” about outcome
* I have long had a dream of being published by Hay House – so does that mean I am not so committed to this competition with a lesser known publisher? No way. Who knows where the right Agent and Publisher are waiting to spot my entry – or find me in some other way?
Martha Beck talks about the woman who felt lonely for a soul-mate friend and left her book on a plane where it a stranger picked it up, phoned her and you’ve guessed it – became that very friend.
Another self-published author gave her book as a present and it was left on a park bench where… guess what? – the man who became her agent found it?
In a previous postand emails I compared myself to Susan Boyle. At least one person who knows me said it was “sad” that I thought so little of myself. Hey – what do you think? I see it differently. But it made me pause and reflect – what do I really think about myself?
Answer: I’m a first time baby boomer self help author coming “from unknown” to recognition. And expression of my talents.
Being a lover of books and reading all my life, I was touched and moved to tears many times while reading the story of John Wood and how he discovered his life purpose and walked away from a corporate job with Microsoft to follow his heart bringing education and books to kids worldwide.
Listening to him retell the story in the video below is powerful.
Makes you think – am I living my highest dreams and life purpose? What is my life really about – making money – or expanding love in self and others?
It began when he was an executive with Microsoft about 10 years ago. He went trekking for 10 days in Nepal, visited a school which was bare of books in the library. He promised to get books and one year later delivered 1000s of books bundled on the back of a yak.
Seeing the kids leap on the brightly colored books with delight and wonder, ignited Wood’s passion to help more schools in Nepal where the illiteracy rate is 75% – and later expand his vision globally.
SHOCKING
Shocking to know that of the estimated 850 million people who are illiterate in the world – two-thirds are women.
And inspiring to know that Wood has target giving scholarships to girls – especially in third-world countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam. He refers to the saying:”When you educate a boy you educate a boy. But when you educate a girl you educate a family and the generation to come”.
Yet it is often the girl children who end up having to give up school to work or look after their younger siblings. Unfair but also perpetuating the cycle of poverty, low self-worth and/or abuse which can result from a poor education.
Did you know that for as little as $250 a year you can support a child with a scholarship that keeps her in school? And it is wonderful to know that more than 3 million children have been touched by Room to Read’s outreach with books, libraries and/or scholarships such as this.
“Leaving Microsoft to Change the World” is not a new book – but it is highly relevant to all of us who value books – and care for our global children.
Let John Wood tell the story. I love it because it shows how he got on track with his life purpose …
