    Soul Retrieval & Root Chakra Restoration

    enOctober 07, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Shifting focus to soul retrieval and root chakra restoration during the second night of Ayahuasca retreatParticipants meet with shamans for guidance, share past traumas, and trust the process for soul healing and root chakra restoration. Live recording with Elizabeth on nervous system training for integrating peak somatic experiences.

      During the second night of an Ayahuasca retreat, the focus shifts towards soul retrieval and root chakra restoration. Participants meet with the shamans to discuss their experiences and intentions, and the shamans offer guidance and support. Jennifer, a neurosomatic psychedelic integration guide, shares her experience of speaking with Maestro Francisco and Maestro Maricela about her past traumas and feelings of safety. The shamans reassured her and encouraged her to trust the process and listen to the ikaros (songs). The night concluded with stillness falling in the maloca and participants purging in various ways, without the presence of nausea. An exciting addition to the retreat is a live recording with Elizabeth for a community conversation on nervous system training around integrating peak somatic experiences, which includes Ayahuasca.

    • Ayahuasca ceremony: A transformative spiritual experienceThe Ayahuasca ceremony brought about a profound spiritual cleansing, filled with vibrant visions, pulsing energy, deep emotional connection, and a sense of safety and acceptance.

      The Ayahuasca ceremony, even on the first night, brought about a profound spiritual experience for the participant. They felt a cleansing of their body and soul, with visions of technicolor light and sacred geometry. Their energy bodies pulsed with aliveness, and they felt a deep connection to their breath and heart. The experience was transformative, leaving them feeling safe and embracing their emotions. The rain outside added to the sense of being enveloped in the experience. Despite wanting to keep some parts personal, the participant continued to ask for more medicine, leading to further emotional release and connection.

    • A transformative soul retrieval journey through an ayahuasca ceremonyThrough an ayahuasca ceremony, the speaker reconnected with a lost part of herself, faced deep-rooted emotions, and experienced profound healing and safety.

      The ayahuasca ceremony was a transformative experience for the speaker, during which she underwent soul retrieval and faced her deep-rooted emotions, including anger and shame. The ceremony allowed her to reconnect with a younger part of herself and experience safety and love within her body. The process was powerful and intense, with emotions purging out as the singer performed. The speaker's root chakra lit up, and she was able to make a connection with the 3-year-old version of herself, who had been lost due to past trauma. The anger and rage she had suppressed were also acknowledged and honored. The experience required integration and took time to fully process, but the speaker felt a profound sense of healing and safety in her body.

    • Exploring emotional healing and nervous system regulationThrough understanding and regulating our nervous system, we can heal past emotional wounds, let go of old patterns, and live more fully in the present.

      Understanding and regulating our nervous system can lead to significant emotional healing and the creation of a sense of safety within our bodies. For some, like the speaker, this may involve processing and expressing emotions like anger and grief, while for others it may mean addressing different coping mechanisms. Through this process, we can identify and let go of old patterns that no longer serve us, and embrace a new sense of self as someone capable of embodying love and safety. Additionally, soul retrieval work can help integrate disconnected parts of ourselves, allowing us to heal past wounds and live more fully in the present.

    • Discovering the importance of safety, alignment, and self-expression for overall well-beingAligning our energy of giving and receiving can lead to significant shifts in our lived experience. It takes effort to rewire beliefs and create new patterns, but the journey towards self-discovery and transformation is worth it.

      Feeling safe to express ourselves, set boundaries, and receive love and resources is crucial for our overall well-being. The speaker shares her personal journey of discovering this truth, which was not always present in her life. She emphasizes the importance of aligning our energy of giving and receiving, and how this can lead to a significant shift in our lived experience. The process of rewiring beliefs and creating new patterns takes effort, but it is possible with a willingness to do the work. The speaker invites listeners to join her in exploring the depths of their nervous system and psychedelic integration experience during their upcoming series, focusing on themes of surgery, death, and rebirth. If you're ready to embark on this transformative journey, the links and resources are available in the show notes.

    Recent Episodes from Trauma Rewired

    Anxiety

    Anxiety

    In this episode of Trauma Rewired, hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Matt Bush as they unpack anxiety. The conversation starts with an exploration of how neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and autism impact executive functioning, sensory processing, and create hypersensitivities that lead to emotional overwhelm. They highlight the importance of self-assessment and retraining of sensory systems to better manage these challenges. Elisabeth Kristof further connects developmental and complex trauma to nervous system responses, noting how trauma shapes our interpretation of signals and can keep individuals in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze. Jennifer Wallace emphasizes the crucial aspect of self-awareness and deep self-knowledge in managing anxiety, advocating for practices that foster body awareness, emotional expression, and self-regulation.

    Anxiety is not just a mental disorder but a physiological response emanating from sensory mismatches and respiratory inefficiencies. Chronic hyperventilation, for example, sends constant threat signals to the brain, keeping the nervous system on high alert. Through regular neuro training and specific breathing exercises, individuals can better regulate their nervous systems and reduce anxiety. 

    Let’s reframe anxious thoughts and use cognitive tools to consider positive outcomes, thereby preventing the negative spiral of anxiety and trauma.

    Discuss the tangible benefits of applying neurosomatic principles to everyday life. Explore sensory mismatches, emphasizing the need to address deficits in visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and interoceptive systems to alleviate anxiety. We advocate for ongoing self-assessment and retraining as ways to establish a new baseline of wellness. 

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    • Impact of Neurodivergence

    • Trauma and Nervous System Responses

    • Self-Assessment and Sensory Retraining

    • Role of Chronic Hyperventilation

    • Anxiety as a Physiological State

    • Cognitive Reframing of Anxiety

    • Female-Specific Anxieties

    • Sensory Mismatch and Anxiety

    Stress Response In Relationship

    Stress Response In Relationship

    This week on Trauma Rewired, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth welcome back Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro to explore the physiology of stress and the transformative power of neurosomatic intelligence.

    We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain’s response to stress and build resilience.

    The conversion starts by examining what happens in the brain when a stress response is activated, and how developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults. Matt breaks down complex neurological processes, covering the role of the HPA axis, immune dysregulation and increased inflammation. Jennifer also introduces a new concept, called “shameflammation,” as they delve into the connection between chronic stress and disease in the body.

    Listen to this episode to learn more about stress response in relationships and how you can retrain it through NSI!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Understanding the HPA axis and stress response

    • How developmental trauma shapes our stress response

    • General adaptation response and the impact of stress on the body

    • Shame and the inflammatory response

    • The neurological response to stress

    • The connection between social threat, inflammation and stress response

    • Neurosomatic intelligence as a tool for change

    The Neurology of Empathy

    The Neurology of Empathy

    Believe it or not, empaths and narcissists have foundational similarities. Not only does the brain chemistry look the same, but empaths and narcissists both struggle with nervous system regulation and look to others to help them regulate their emotions. But whereas the narcissist avoids the emotions of others, empaths are deeply affected and have a physiological experience to the emotions of others on a subconscious level. This can lead to emotional fatigue, chronic stress, poor sense of self and more.

    So what’s the difference between having empathy and being an empath, and how can you change subconscious behavior? In this episode, Elisabeth, Jennifer and Matt cover the signs of being an empath, the causes of elevated empathy, such as deficits in the interoceptive system, and how it impacts our overall health.

    If you identify as an empath, tune in to learn about the power of nervous system regulation for changing harmful empath behavior!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • What it means to be an empath
    • Empathy from a neurosomatic perspective
    • Causes of high empathy
    • Why being an empath isn’t always a good thing
    • How deficits in the interoceptive system lead to empath behavior
    • The correlation between sensory mismatch and empathy
    • How to retain your empathic gifts and also prioritize yourself
    • Nervous system regulation as a tool for change

    Healing Dissociation

    Healing Dissociation

    “You can’t be present and dissociated at the same time.”

    These wise words from co-host Jennifer Wallace encompasses why this topic is so important to explore. Presence is the truth of our emotions and our reality, because we cannot heal what we do not feel. Being present with our emotions, and feeling them in our body, allows us to truly understand and heal our nervous system in ways that dissociating from the body cannot.

    This is a powerful conversation highlighting what goes on in the brain and nervous system when we dissociate, and how this protective mechanism can become maladaptive when its original function no longer serves us. There is a way to overcome dissociation and authentically feel emotions in the body to truly heal.

    In this episode, Elisabeth Kristoff and Jennifer Wallace deep dive into dissociation and its characteristics. The discussion begins with defining what dissociation is and how it is learned at an early age as a protective mechanism, followed by unraveling how dissociation shows up in the brain, specifically which brain structures are involved in disassociation, as well as the connection between the vagus nerve and the interoceptive system as it pertains to dissociation.

    It’s not enough to just understand these concepts intellectually, the real healing happens when we can experience them, which means feeling them in our bodies. That’s where Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching comes in, where we teach you the tools you need to heal the whole self, and move out of dissociation and into the body in a safe way.

    Tune in for this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Definition of dissociation

    • How dissociation is on a spectrum

    • The protective aspects of dissociation

    • How dissociation gets wired in the brain from an early age

    • The function of the thalamus and how it’s related to dissociation

    • The deep connection between the vagus nerve and the interoceptive system

    • How the brain makes predictions based on our past experiences

    • The possibility to train in new protective skills that are not maladaptive

    • Knowing about the  nervous system is not the same as experiencing it

    • Spiritual bypassing and dissociation 

    • The importance of presence in understanding the truth of emotions

    Self Abandonment of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    Self Abandonment of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    The essence of who we are radiates when we live in our purpose. When we can connect with our true self and share it with others. There are many blockers stopping us from being able to express our feelings, or even know what we’re experiencing, and one of them is self abandonment.

     

    Don’t let the “self” fool you — sometimes, we unintentionally abandon ourselves because of the survival responses born as a result of trauma. Until healing begins, we can get stuck living through learned patterns of ignoring our own needs in favor of others around us, suppressing feelings to protect ourselves from the neglect of others, and rejecting our intuition.

     

    Trauma Rewired host, Jennifer, and Elisabeth Kristof of Brain-Based Wellness are finishing the CPTSD series by discussing this final component of CPTSD: self abandonment. They talk about the ways we abandon ourselves through the lens of their own experiences, and how it manifests in a cycle of self-abuse and shame.

     

    If you find yourself disregarding your own health and happiness, tune in to understand this component of CPTSD and how healing is possible!

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Jennifer shares a recent story of self abandonment

    • Elisabeth defints self abandonment

    • Dissociation as a survival response

    • The effects of parentification

    • Healing self abandonment

    • How all the components of CPTSD work together

    • Becoming an expert of your nervous system

    • Toxic stress and disease

    • Learning to say “no” and self-regulate

    • The power of self-expression

    Social Anxiety of Complex Post traumatic Stress

    Social Anxiety of Complex Post traumatic Stress

    The term social anxiety gets tossed around a lot these days, however individuals with CPTS who experience social anxiety feel its effects on a visceral level. It can be highly debilitating and can affect the way we relate and connect to others, when the need for connection is at the very core of what makes us human.

    Knowing if you actually have social anxiety can be tricky, especially if there are socially acceptable coping mechanisms like overconsumption of substances involved. The proof is in the nervous system outputs, such as migraines, pain, exhaustion, or binge eating, after every social event. As well as, if these outputs cause you to refrain from being in social settings all together. At these times, it's important to reflect on whether you're genuinely comfortable in social situations or if social anxiety may be at play.

    In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer explore the world of social anxiety, specifically what signs in your nervous system to look out for if you suspect you have social anxiety, the difference between social anxiety and being socially awkward, the role substance use plays, how your attachment style can indicate your level of social anxiety, and how to repattern the nervous system using NSI tools to overcome social anxiety, and much more.

    As humans, we need to connect to others, and we need relationships to thrive. Social anxiety can impede these very human needs, however there is a way around it. It is possible to change how your nervous system takes in information, and change the way it reacts to that information, using simple tools to rewire and regulate.

    Tune in to hear how and more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • What is social anxiety?

    • The nervous system outputs associated with social anxiety

    • Substance use and social anxiety

    • How the inner critic and toxic shame shows up in social anxiety

    • What is hypervigilance?

    • Physiological reasons why stress in social situations can cause protective outputs

    • How ADHD and social anxiety overlap

    • How attachment styles are related to social anxiety

    • Repatterning the nervous system to experience new outputs using NSI

    The Wolf & the Buried Secret

    The Wolf & the Buried Secret

    In this short episode, Jennifer recounts her powerful healing experience at an ayahuasca retreat on the beaches of Costa Rica. Contrary to Western medicine, ayahuasca treatment focuses on the energetic body to open a pathway to healing.

     

    Containing the potent psychoactive DMT, this psychedelic is brewed with tea and drank to induce altered states of consciousness. Ayahuasca can bring undiscovered truths to the surface, and help you revisit memories that shaped you at a young age - and this is exactly what our host experienced.

     

    After learning about plant medicine and listening to others experiences with ayahuasca, Jennifer decided it was her turn to give it a try. Healing requires support, and on this retreat she had the help of two healers to guide her through the use of icaros, or magical songs.

     

    She was able to confront her past, gain insight into her life, and most importantly, release feelings she had been holding on to for decades. Jennifer was able to do all of this in a positive way, not reliving her pain but visiting it with a different point of view.

    Ayahuasca, Integration, and Neurosomatic Intelligence

    Ayahuasca, Integration, and Neurosomatic Intelligence

    The many gifts received through ceremony with ayahuasca from start to finish cannot be measured within the confines of the days in a retreat. The potential reveals itself during ceremony, but the gifts are found once you’re released into the world again, armed with awareness. However, potential is just that. How do you take that potential and transform it into healing? 

     

    Integration after ceremony is arguably the most crucial part of the whole process, because this is where you train your body to receive and transmute the heavy dysregulated energy you’ve been carrying in your nervous system your entire life, into regulation.

    Our host, Jennifer Wallace, recognized this after an extremely eye opening ceremony, that was in fact dysregulating in nature, so she knew there was a lot of work to be done post ceremony.

    Integrating the new information into her life in order for her body to feel safe was one of the greatest gifts she gave to herself, because now it has helped her create the big life she knew she could live. Jennifer is able to live fully expressed, and if she isn’t, she has the tools to bring her back to that aligned place.

    Jennifer has learned the tools to integrate the lessons that come up during plant medicine ceremonies and she wants to share her methods with you.

    Tune in to hear the importance of integration and how Jennifer was able to achieve it by healing her nervous system.

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • The importance of preparation (ie. dieta) prior to ceremony
    • Shifts that could take place in your life during ceremony
    • Being open to all that comes up during ceremony
    • Who are you after releasing trauma?
    • Working with and transmuting anger
    • Why it is important to integrate after transformation
    • What are body boundary variations  
    • The importance of nervous system healing
    • Changing your lived experience with awareness
    • The emergence of a long term healing blueprint
    • Recap of ACE scores

There are people who understand integration but they aren't often trained in nervous system regulation and healing. 

    Join me as I share with you the importance of bridging the two worlds of Psychedelic Integration & Neurosomatic Intelligence. It's within the nervous ssytem that anything you want is possible. Thanks to your already existing neural plasticity you always have the capactiy for change and then you add a powerhouse plant medicine that increases that capacity and potentially catapault you into any direction. 

    Maybe the change you desire feels scary, perhaps you unlocked a deeply buried scary trauma, how about that hard conversation, or intentioanlly blowing your world up to leave the mundane 9-5 and live a life of purpose.

    Everyone's path is very different based on what comes through, where our attention and intention lies, and what we are healing or processing. Remember change is threatening to your brain so learn your unique nervous system and create the life you desire. I can help you. Nothing about your journey is going to dysregualte me, I can hold space for you, and keep your nervous system safe.

    Complex Trauma Impacts Brain Development

    Complex Trauma Impacts Brain Development

    “Impaired integration is such a hallmark of the traumatized brain. It disrupts our ability to balance our nervous system. Neurobiologist Dan Siegel says that at its very essence, the purpose of trauma therapy is to restore brain integration.”

     

    On today’s episode, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the neurological impacts of trauma, specifically how disassociation and fragmentation affect our brain integration. They’re joined by Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro and co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program.

     

    Expect to understand more about how early childhood trauma results in brain dysfunction, shapes our basic functioning and filtration systems, and can overpower the cognitive mind. You’ll also learn what reintegrating memories actually means, and why integration is the key to healing.

     

    Trauma Rewired has mentioned many times that without integration, long-lasting change is difficult, but without the survival brain and emotional brain working together, integration, specifically vertical integration, is impossible. This may sound overwhelming, but the good news change IS possible because of neuroplasticity.

     

    If you want a deep understanding of vertical integration and how trauma affects the developing brain, tune in to learn more!

    Food and Nervous System Regulation

    Food and Nervous System Regulation

    Food is integral to our survival and health, but it’s common for those with trauma to exhibit disordered eating, whether that be a history of dieting, bingeing, or fasting. These behaviors are truly a reflection of our dysregulated nervous system, and only once we start to heal it can we find food freedom.

     

    During this episode, we’re talking about the health of our relationships with food and our body, and how nervous system regulation is a path to trauma healing. Jennifer and Elisbeth share their personal experience with distorted eating, and how they achieved food freedom.

     

    We also explore the topics of diet culture, intuitive eating, the “good woman narrative,” and how food drives components of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, such as inner critic and perfectionism.

     

    Tune in to learn more, and get guidance on establishing a healthier relationship with food!

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Food as an output of the nervous system

    • How eating behaviors affect the interoceptive system

    • Effects of our traumatizing diet culture

    • Food numbing emotions

    • Additional pressures on women

    • Experiencing the pleasure of food

    • What distorts our perspective on our body

    • Scarcity mindset

    • Resources to start healing
