The Trauma, a Soul’s Perspective
What if, right now, the trauma, the trigger, the reaction, the emotion, the ache in your chest, and the storm in your mind… are not random at all?
What if they are not new… but echoes?
Echoes of an older wound.
Echoes of a moment — perhaps in this life, perhaps in another — when you first learned to tighten your breath and harden your heart.
When we forget this, we treat each pain as brand new.
We brace, we resist, and in our resistance we relive the wound… and so we keep it alive.
We loop.
We become the loop.
But when you are willing to pause…
To breathe into the present and say, “This is not the first time I have felt this”…
You begin to see the thread that connects now to then.
The moment you see the thread, you have a choice.
Do you pick it up and weave it into the greater tapestry of your soul’s journey, or do you keep tugging at it until it frays?
See the whole picture.
See you in the whole picture — not only the one who suffers, but the one who has endured, the one who has grown, the one who is still standing here, breathing, seeking truth.
Ask yourself, not from the wound, but from the witness:
What am I learning here?
What pattern is asking to be completed, not repeated?
What new strength or freedom is becoming available through this experience?
The lesson is not in the pain — it is in the space you create between you and the pain.
It is in the awareness that you are more than what happened, more than what is happening, more than the story your mind repeats.
Every time you see the pattern with clear eyes, you loosen its hold.
And every time you choose learning over looping, you reclaim a part of your soul that has been waiting —sometimes for lifetimes — to come home.
