Heaven On Earth & Gifts of Trauma?

It’s 2002, I'm in a clinic I practice in in Muswell Hill and I’ve just received the most DIVINE shiatsu treatment from one of my favourite practitioners.

I'm half way through the three year course as I'm studying to be a Shiatsu practitioner myself.

This practitioner truly inspires me, I can't remember my question, but his reply is:

‘My work is like a meditation, I switch off, and do I just do my work.’

LOVE it.

I thought about him recently as I rambled through the English countryside. On this particular occasion, I went to see him as a pain in my back, behind my heart had reared up again.

The session was amaazing, and at the end, he told me that I was energetically cut off from my body, from the neck down.

I had no idea why, and for many years, the reason stayed buried and caused many emotional, mental and physical issues like:

Insomnia (as well as bruxism & nightmares)

Digestive disorders

Aches, pains, sciatica

A gazillion allergies (and even when they healed, they'd pop up in another form)

Asthma (which nearly killed me twice)

Weight gain

Relationship difficulties

Business difficulties
Fibromyalgia

Depression, anxiety, foggy brain

Sciatica and the list goes on...

Hmmm.

Looking back, I know that I was disconnected from my body as a survival mechanism due to unconscious childhood trauma.

When this became CONSCIOUS, it stopped ruling my life and all of the the above began to heal!

Sadly, the ‘not knowing’ resulted in YEARS of pain.

I realised that at the root of everything lay unconscious trauma, and that I needed to soothe my nervous system.

That alchemised the pain, as I focused primarily on creating what I love - my dreams.

Admittedly, some areas are a work in progress, but I’m reaping the rewards of the ‘gifts of trauma’ as I adventure through life.

The Benefits?

Even I still use my intuition to guide my baby steps and create more of a life I adore, I primarily tune into my body, because the body really does keep the score.

I’ve always had a motto that anything that works for me, I study, and then share with my clients.

For YEARS, my body was YELLING at me that soemthign needed attention.

When I'd get up at 3/4/5 am I thought I was just a high flying exeutive, part of the '4 am club', when in acutal fat I had horrendous insomnia.

Over the years, although healing was occurring, I needed to go deeper, so that I could upgrade what I was offering my clients. Even before I made MY trauma conscious, I rmember joking that 'trauma is so fasionable now'! The words of my old friend and metnor, the late Keith Wilson (The Chocolate Shaman) come to mind - 'We can't take our density into the new earth'.

Honesty?

Honestly, I have to admit that I was ‘stuck’ for SO longI realised that I needed more than my "MM Method" which I’d developed over decades. It was great, but it needed an upgrade.

I began to study, and incorporate tools to assist myself, and others with deep, unconscious trauma, and nervous system dysregulation.

Nervous system dysregulation leads to insomnia, all the ailments I listed above, and many more (to see the full list you can see this post on facebook).

The Gifts Of Trauma

The upgrades, and studies were also dreams come true - becoming a DJ, which combined my love for Ecstatic Dance with meditation, cacao, and shamanism. I also became a qualified Somatic Coach/Therapist (with a distinction).

If your density is 'popping', whether mental, emotional, or physical you're in the right place.

We can no longer put a band aid on our problems and illnesses.

As I've seen repeatedly, an ailment, or allergy heals, and then comes back disguised as something else - fibromyalgia, a different food allergy or similar.

These times call for BIGGER, Gentler, Slower medicine.

What’s presenting now is a gift…

That’s the case for all of us (yes - you if you’re reading this).

We just need to know how to (gently) unwrap it and allow the medicine, the treasure inside to present itself.

The good news is that you don’t necessarily have to KNOW what the trauma is, our Superconscious knows it all. The superconscious also knows the path to healing. It knows how to get you on the path, without the boulders, (which were previously preventing you from healing, and creating what you love). Now those boulders have been transformed into stepping stores, guiding you on your path to ‘heaven on earth’. Your version of heaven on earth is the place where the dreams of your heart and soul have already manifested.

The upgraded version of the MM Method (reflecting new needs) has several new modalities incorporated within it as well as neuroplasticity and epigenetics.

We need to go deeper, to go higher, while still staying balanced and in harmony.

This is not always easy, and it’s not something we can do alone.

My gifts of trauma were fulfilling many lifelong dreams including becoming a DJ and adventuring around Europe and the UK in a van (inspired by a heroes journey call to adventure when my mum appeared to me in a dream)! The sense of freedom (and immense healing) I experience travelling through Europe, UK, Ireland, and soon Greece and Morocco is inexplicable. Camping by rivers, beaches, lakes, taking client calls in the most picturesque, beautiful, unique settings, often with no idea where I’ll camp up that night.

I’ve never been a fan of ‘bucket lists’, but I knew that this was something I HAD to do now. The adventure continues.

As I dropped the unnecessary layers of protection, the asthma, insomnia, weight gain, teeth grinding, nightmares, depression, anxiety, and waking up with a strange feeling of shame and guilt for no (conscious reason) have disappeared.

Instead I’m experiencing more freedom than ever, vibrant health and energy, magical dreams (including lucid dreams).

The Unknown

I spent many years learning how to be okay with the ‘unknown’. Day after day, I’d guide my clients to connect with their heart and intuition, uttering the words “allow yourself to step into the unknown, the place where magic, mystery and wonder dwell”. At the same time I’d hear my own inner voice yell - “You see, do you hear that Geraldine?!?!?” Because back then I was often NOT okay with the unknown.

I’m there now.

It’s a great place to be. And I can safely say, that magic, mystery and wonder DO emerge from the unknown… time after time.

So, as we blearily bumble into the new earth, what if our density is the key to take us higher?

How about seeing it, and noticing our ‘stuff’ and being grateful for it!?!??! Not grateful for the trauma, I don’t buy into that, but grateful that we’re willing, keen, and ABLE to rise…

To say - NO MORE!

No more ‘nice gal’.

Furk that!

I believe that that’s one of the first steps in our healing journey, KNOWING we’re not broken, yet still ‘doing the work’, with boundaries, and with our main focus on what our heart and soul REALLY want to create.

This is an invitation, for those that feel the resonance in these words and believe that we can’t take our density into the new earth.

Yet you feel stuck - and you wonder - what IS my density?

Why can’t I sleep well for 8 every night?

Why am I STILL suffering, when I KNOW pain is inherent and suffering is optional?

Golden Invitation

This is my birthday month (yipppeee), and I'm planning something very special, so if this speaks to you, I'd love you to join us for a 21 Day Challenge.

If you’re ready to be guided into a level of your power that will knock your sexy socks off.

Returning to balance - with great sleep, digestion, soothing, and healing any migraines, headaches, pain.

What I found while working with hundreds of women, and from my own journey, is that ailments and drama pop up to get our attention. If we’re often ill, with odd, seemingly unrelated ailments, our body is giving us a message.

It starts as a whisper. Then it becomes a painful shout.

Then possibly a desperate YELL.

These yells are draining us when we don’t pay attention to them, and they WILL get worse.

They WILL manifest as something you can't ignore.

Are you finished with migraines, headaches, brain fog?

Depression?

Anxiety?

Stuck negative emotions?

Hypochondria-type moving, repetitive ailments?

Is the child part of you is begging for attention?

It knows there’s more for you?

That part of you that’s experienced enough pain - she’s ready for the good stuff.

What’s your flavour?

Great relationships and inspiring connections?

Waking up looking forward to the day?

Feeling rested, relaxed and well slept in the morning?

Having vibrant health and energy?

More FUN!

More peace

More Love!

Success (on your terms).

This is your opportunity

It is your duty

Because if we can’t bring our density in to the new earth
Then it’s up to YOU to lighten YOUR load.
To get clarity on, and align with the highest version of you.
To BE that, and LIVE that.

This invitation is a challenge.

The root of the word challenge dates back to the ancient world. In medieval Europe, a "challenge" referred to a duel, or trial by combat to resolve a dispute or test one's honor.

Your honour is being tested.

Will you step into your highest version, knowing it might not be easy, but you’ve already done the pain, what can be worse?

Choosing the highest timelines, and LIVING it!?!?!?

Being the best version of yourself?
Maybe our trauma, illness, sleep issues, digestive problems are rearing their head because you’re being called.
Called to move through this.
To drop the density
Coming out the other side the winner - the winner of YOUR best life. Allowing yourself to RECEIVE what's already yours?!?!?

The New Earth

The new earth is here, and it is coming more and more into form.

We're birthing it from within!

I’m not promising you’ll step out of this challenge into the new earth

However, you will have the TOOLS, in an easy to use, fun, gentle package, wrapped with love, to ensure you can create a great day, every day (and how to deal with the wobbly ones when they raise their head - which they will).

This challenge is only open to a small group of women, as I like to hold the energy of every participant in a sacred way. It will be online, and we’re beginning soon.

If you feel called, reserve your spot by tapping here. There is a minimal investment, affordable for everyone. For the first 10 women there is an earlybird rate of $27 (still available as of July 4 2025), thereafter it will be $97 (here).

I very much look forward to seeing you in The Luminous Life Challenge.

Much love,

Geraldine x
