“The Language of Emotions is one of the vital inner languages in the practice of Synchronosophy. We think of it as the language of healing”
Thank you! We need this! We finally got onto ACE scores in my profession and saw that higher ACE scores were related to those who struggled to “heal” after physical trauma. My own high ACE score allowed me in my practice a door to empathy that was the start to connection. Gabor Mate has made a difference here in Canada to show that safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection. This is a much needed conversation. This is a wonderful series.
Oh my goodness, Veronika! I am so excited that I had some time today to read about synchronosophy. I am wholly intrigued. I love this weaving of linguistics, homeopathy, psychology, ancestor work, etc. It speaks to me on so many levels. Can't wait to read the upcoming posts about it! And also looking forward to exploring the posts on the symbiocene. The ones on fascia and consciousness have already caught my eye. Thank you so much for your work in the world and for sharing it so generously!
Thank you Jenna 💖🙏 from the bottom of my singing heart.
It's so much fun doing this work in the world when meeting other WisdomWarriors, Symbiophants, and MiracleWorkers like yourself along the way.
Having spent decades developing this work pretty much on my own (with the consistent support of my beloved who had more confidence in me than I did), I have to say, THIS WORK is what I came here to do. And I'm sharing it because it wants to be shared. It is finally ready to be shared (I think).
We can't change what we don't know about ourselves - and not knowing, not being in touch with and not understanding our emotions and what they are are trying to tell us, makes for a heady state of self-ignorance rather than self-knowledge. Jamie Millard's comment "safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection" (I'm racking my brain as to where I've come across this theme before, used in some poem of mine I think) is on the button here. Thanks Jamie.
Sychronosophy is so vital in our times; a great contribution is in the making. History is being made right here.
"We can't change what we don't know about ourselves" ~ Absolutely! These wise words sound vaguely familiar too. R.D. Laing and C.G. Jung spring to mind (even Socrates?)
Thank you, my love, for being on this ride together. History in the making, along with Herstory and Theirstory this time... 😉
Thanks! An old Gabor Mate quote on connection. This one “-Sychronosophy is so vital in our times; a great contribution is in the making. History is being made right here.”- I feel it 🙏❤️ Thanks to you both.
From the brilliant Johnny O'Donny quote to start things off, to Eugene Gendlin's »Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.« Will definitely be checking out more of Gendlin's work; thanks for the links.
What really jumped out for me was:
"Trauma is not a competition. Suffering is subjective and personal."
"Our emotional reactions can lead us through the inner jungle, along the hidden and overgrown path of repressed family memories, to the original source, where revelations are buried in a secret cave." (This is exactly what I was attempting to convey in my first Substack entry "Why Life Happens to Us").
And especially this, speaking to the collective trauma layered into the epigenetics of humanity: "Unprocessed trauma doesn’t vanish when a person dies. Our ancestors pass their unfinished business on to us, the next generation. We don’t only inherit physical features, and disposition for certain diseases, and perhaps some family heirlooms. The emotional suffering of our elders is passed on to us as well."
It seems to me that the suppressed emotional structure you dealt with as part of your German upbringing has been transmuted into a strong trellis of logic and reasoning to communicate challenging nonlinear ideas with clarity and coherence.
THANK YOU! Your feedback is encouraging and extremely valuable to me. 💕🙏
Yes!! Gene G. (as his friends called him) was definitely a Genius. A free spirit, and a very generous and inspiring human being whose work I can wholeheartedly recommend. The fact that he refused to turn 'Focusing' into another MSM (money spinning method) just because he could, speaks for itself. He refused such suggestions and declared boldly, "Focusing is for Everyone!" (Thank you Gene Gendlin)
And thank you for the compliment about my 'German upbringing' ~ I would say it's perhaps a combination of my German heritage of 'Dichter & Denker' (= thinkers & poets) as well as Nazi trauma (I'll get to that in the next chapter), intertwined with some oriental magic of 1001 Nights (I spent my childhood in an Arabic environment, brought up on a diet of fairy tales) and the freedom of having private tutors until the age of 12. (If we want to cultivate and understand challenging nonlinear ideas it definitely helps not to have the powers of one's own thinking thwarted at an early age by a state school system, established with the explicit intention to produce non-thinking followers)

Oh, that is so interesting! Thank you for sharing, Jamie. 💕🙏
"Safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection" ~ perfect!
Health is not the absence of symptoms (= wounding = trauma) but the presence of embracing and integrating the deeper message encoded within the pain.

I'm sure you understand what I mean. xxx big hugs

Thank you, Jamie for being a history-maker too 💕🙏
meet you at the next oasis... 🪂🏝
Ah, Gabor Mate. Thank you.
There are so many diamonds in this.
