Earth as Medicine

Description:

My own early wounding and rupture from my parents, under the tutelage of this reflective journey, releases me from the literal bondage of brokenness. My experience of trauma, and my soul’s need for survival, account for so many years of unconscious unconsciousness and the killing of my own albatross, which I recount with transparency.
The work of reflection is alchemical as the body, not the brain, becomes the locus of transformation, the crucible of consciousness and connection. The body becomes the crucible of this sacred process of memory and re-membering, but the body must be washed with tears and blood – fluids of transformation that offer cleansing and clarity. Air too is integral to the alchemical transformation, as it provides the space that prevents too much literal compression. Fire amalgamates all of the elements into a new perception and perspective. It’s that fire that fuels the passion and melts the brokenness of the past into its new medicine where there is no shame, and everything belongs.

This is a story you’ll love and never forget.

“As someone who has worked in the behavioral health field for over a decade, I’ve read many autobiographies from those in recovery and this one stands out!! It truly is a masterpiece and takes the reader on a very thoughtful, creative exploration of trauma responses and the beautiful journey of transformation. The author gifts us with a moving, honest, courageous and ultimately triumphant account of her emotional and spiritual renewal, leaving the reader with a sense of hopefulness and inspiration for living. I thank her for sharing her life with us and being an exemplary role model.”
