Finding the root cause is not enough.
Object Constellation by Aitabé
Not the symptoms, not even the “root cause” - we must go deeper.
When I sit with clients in the Luminous Mirror process, we map a recent triggering event down into the deeper root cause:
What shows up as jealousy at the top might find its way to a prenatal or birth event.
What is experienced as difficulty making decisions and an inner conflict between mind and body is rooted in childhood boundary violation and abuse.
What is felt as frustration and judgment towards a colleague is anchored in a lack of parental attunement.
But there is a deeper layer - below the symptoms (such as frustration and judgment), below the the primary event (lack of parental attunement) - that we are looking for. It is the identity-level belief that your perfect intelligence created in order to make sense of the primary event.
Underneath the symptom of jealousy and its primary cause in birth trauma, we find the belief, “life does not care for me.”
Underneath difficulty making decisions, which is rooted in childhood boundary violations, is the belief, “I am responsible for the harm I experience.”
Below the judgment towards a colleague, which is connected to lack of attuned parenting, we find the belief, “I must stay small to stay alive.”
When we experience the world through the lens of these identity-level beliefs, life is painful and our options are limited. This is why we find ourselves repeating similar dynamics over and over again.
What’s the way out? Seeing your True Self.
When we are triggered, it is a reminder that our identity-level belief is operating. However, trying to convince the body-mind that this belief is not true is a very difficult task. What is far more potent and effective is to reconnect with your True Self and inquire into your belief from that perspective.
This is what I support clients to do during the Luminous Mirror process. It is highly effective, and I am honored to be of service to your Luminous Self in offering it.
I have decided to continue to offer Luminous Mirror sessions at a Pay-From-The-Heart rate.
