Integrating the Shadow

Posted on by caseystevens888
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds – the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.
-Carolyn Myss

 

When our minds dominate so much of our lives, we tend to feel internally fragmented.

The nature of the mind is to seek understanding and safety.

Splitting life into good/ bad and right/ wrong is a very natural process because it helps us to survive. But splitting life into polarities also creates tremendous suffering within us. 

Why?

Because we grow up learning that some parts of us are “good” while other parts of us are “bad.” We then attach to the “good” parts of ourselves and repress or deny the “bad” parts of ourselves.

When we start to perceive ourselves in a fragmented way, we feel flawed, lacking, and incomplete. We start to feel insecure, anxious, lonely, depressed, and in some extreme cases suicidal.

Our true essence has been diluted. ⠀⠀

We greatly crave to love and embrace ourselves, but how can we fully accept who we are when we hate some parts of ourselves and love other parts?

When we integrate, we unite different parts of ourselves that may have been missing. 

It is in this process we can begin the journey toward true healing.

In order to repair, heal, and grow on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level, it’s important to visit the darker parts of ourselves, often called our Shadow.

The Shadow isn’t just the wounded part of us, but it is also the path towards a more authentic and fulfilling life, a path to becoming whole again.

It may feel frightening at first, but it’s the most important step if you want to experience deep, lasting healing.

But you don’t have to do it alone.

I can offer loving guidance as you peel back the layers to all parts of yourself so you may reconnect to the truth of who you are.

When the timing feels divine, please know that I am always here for you.

The Sacred Journey of Becoming

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

I believe that we each enter this life with a very specific blueprint to fulfill in this timeline as a spark of the Divine.

Are you aware of your blueprint design? It’s the meaning of your life here: your purpose, your pathway, your karma, your contracts, your connections, and your enlightenment.

When we are able to truly perceive our self, our longings and deepest desires through the eyes of a Divine Intelligence, we are able to see more clearly our unique pathway and discern the essential steps, resources and guidance needed to proceed on our personal journey toward fulfillment. 

The ability to self-witness and thereby access our own personal power helps us to play a bigger role in the healing of ourselves, our loved ones and to contribute to the Collective Consciousness.

When we learn to shift at the subconscious level, transmuting imprints from the past, our external world begins to look different and opportunities arise which were invisible to us before. 
Opportunity unfolds.
The invisible made transparent. We can see ourselves, and the world around us with Eagle medicine – clear objective sight.

Commitment to the healing of our woundedness opens a gateway to shifts at a deep level.  This is when the fragmented parts within our internal landscape begin to reorganize and provide fresh, luminous perspectives to come into focus within our external world. We gain clear insight into ourselves. We commune with the knowing being within. 

Life does not happen to us. Rather, life happens through us. This is one of the universal laws to befriend.

The end of suffering depends on knowing who we absolutely are.  When our internal reference point is our true Self, we gain the ability to fulfill our highest potential. Trust fully your longings and desires are the guiding posts. Follow them wholesomely and wholeheartedly.

Be in the awareness of your becoming.

It is when we are truly embodying our Soul’s desires – (which in truth is in opposition to our impulses) – that life opens to us and we can move more freely in tandem with our Sacred Self.

At your core you are a beautiful enigma. Your essence is full of magic and mystery.  It is fearless, it’s wild, it’s honest, it is free.

The power to change your life comes from within.  All healing and creation starts from understanding the field of energies in and around you which are in the process of transforming your life. This clue will help inform you as to what is trying to emerge from your current life’s situation — and how to engage with that dynamic process optimally.

From a state of Conscious awareness, have faith that the chaotic activity in your outer world will never overshadow the energy field of your true wholeness.

Understandably, it takes a lot of courage to begin this sacred journey, but when you are devoted to your true path, alignment is your promised reward. The holy grail to behold.

I too am devoted to your healing.

It is through intuitive guidance that I am able to offer your magnificent unfolding, to help you understand your unique pathway to healing and to reveal the wise truth that exists within which is yearning to be revealed.

When you organize your inner world, you can trust your outer world will reflect a brilliant coherence back to you as a meaningful hologram of radiant love.

Miracles of Love

Posted on by caseystevens888

May grace guide your

journey. Lighting your path

with endless courage,

tenderness and joy.

 

Happy New Year sweet friend!

The Gregorian calendar dictates there is a cycle of new beginnings in January, with the new year. 

I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the revitalization of energy unfolding after an intense holiday season. 

In my family, we celebrate Christmas. And candidly, I adore this time of year, the spirit of connection, celebration of tradition and festivity feels warm and nostalgic for me. 

Showing up in love and support, no matter the circumstances. Come what may.

This experience, and orientation to life provides tremendous comfort for me. I’ve been fortunate to both give and receive from this virtue and benefit from healing power generated through living in this way. 

We can’t control what happens in life but we do have power over how we respond.

My heart is whole knowing I am loving, and I am loved. We are the generators of this love – always.

When we traverse the dark and difficult places in life – and in ourselves – sometimes the simplest gesture of loving generosity can help us remember that another experience is possible. 

It may come in the form of a loving note from a friend, a rainbow after a storm, a hummingbird visit, an inspired session with a healer, the nudges and cuddles from a furry friend attuning to our emotions, a burst of sunlight through the clouds, a kindness from a stranger in the grocery store, or the words of a poet or author in the book on our nightside table.

Allow yourself to witness the small, sweet miracles that sparkle through the darkness. Allow yourself to be the miracle for another.

How worthy is this time spent.

In this new year, I hope we can all be a light for another and allow others to be a light for us when we need it. 

Let’s embrace moments of joy, let’s create laughter, and deeply attune to ourselves and another in supportive kindness. 

Let’s observe what is good and soft. Let us offer compassion through our being-ness.

 

Together, we can make this a beautiful life.
My wishes for you in this coming year are infinite with beauty and wholeness. 
May you feel the loving vibration that you are.

 

And, if I may offer my being as a loving presence to you at any point, it would be my great honor.  Click here to view my list of services or book a free clarity call.

 

Birthing a New World

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

Healing is a slow, steady process.  It is complex and nonlinear.  It takes as long as it takes, and most of the time that is much longer than we hoped it would be.

But like all things in nature, there is a mysterious intelligence to our healing process. And if we trust it, shed what is no longer serving us, and then allow the natural evolution of a new bud to flower in its perfect time without force, we just may find ourselves transformed again and again.

We must trust the great mystery in this miraculous process.⁣

And although many of us hear the call of our inner desires and dreams, it is often difficult to find the path forward to our own awakening.

Surrendering to the great mystery opens you to the ultimate possibility of your life. It awakens the sleeping phoenix inside of you where unimaginable possibilities await.

This is when you uncover your true power and gifts and are able to find meaning in your past trauma. This is when you begin to believe in yourself again and that is when you become powerful beyond belief.

Each of us are being called to use

Our own personal transformation

To help transform the world

Around us. Collectively we

Continue to journey through what

Feels like a harsh awakening.

 

Perhaps the question is, are we willing to stay open enough to let those old, protective ways of being die in order for a new, deeper connection (which is what healing really is) that is built on more stable, steady, loving, nourishing ground for all?

Do you want to have a life with more peace and balance or whatever it is that you might value in terms of an energy consciousness?

We need to become more conscious about where we are out of balance. Why?  Because our soul’s desire is to be in alignment with who we really are.  

That means getting rid of the layers of old constructs and stories that we’ve absorbed or inherited and identifying what really is our true story.

If we were consciously creating that which is of our highest making, what would that look like?  How would we be inside our bodies?

What is the imprint that we are leaving energetically on the world and the people around us? 

Are we in alignment with that or are we just settling for a much lower version of existence?

Healing is happening. It is different for all of us. It will take as long as it takes.  But if we find a way to trust the process, this old paradigm may birth a new world for us all.⁣

My sincere wish is that you illuminate and greet the miracles meant for you.

Pathway of the Awakened Life

Posted on by caseystevens888

I wish I could show you when you are

 lonely or are in darkness the astonishing light 

of your own being.

 -HAFIZ

 

You are not alone if you are feeling lost, scared, confused and exhausted in the world today.

We have been squeezed and pressed to our breaking points for prolonged periods of time and in so many ways.

The pressure is dense and painful. The trauma is palpable in ourselves, and in one another.

With the collective stress and anxiety we’ve all experienced in one way or another over these past years, it’s no wonder the majority suffer from dis-regulated and overtaxed nervous systems.

I want to acknowledge the pain and suffering you are feeling. It is real and it is valid. And, it is your responsibility and opportunity to heal and transform it.

One of the deep ethos I live by and practice from is – ‘A problem is not the true problem rather, what matters most is how we orient ourselves to the problem.’

Certainly, the circumstances of your pain matters, but what matters more than the details is the process you apply to these trials. 

In other words, your life is what you choose to do in response to your challenge, tragedy or upheaval. 

These choices define our quality of life and wellbeing and ultimately communicate our energy signature and values to the world around us.

And so our life is.

That’s why I practice from a lens of opportunity and ownership. An eagle’s perspective greets the torment and torture we are in, but ultimately rises beyond the limitation to a higher altitude.  

Any real growth is born from the paradigm of our empowered being. To move beyond distress and dis-ease, we need to truly witness the density of emotions and energy which are a natural part of our humanness.

We can then absorb the shift that will come in this allowing and tender self-witnessing. We may come to know that we always possess choice if we turn our gaze inward with clear sight.

Portal of light

The clearest pathway to our personal liberation will illuminate itself if we dare to listen and take conscious action. 

Who are you becoming? Does the expression of that align with your deepest desires? Are you operating from lack, fear, anger, impulse, or victimhood?

Our desires are a road map to the deepest longing of our highest selves. 

These are our virtues. 

It is prudent that you bravely explore your true desires and be willing to endure the longing as you consciously walk toward your true pleasures.

There may be a distance to walk, but this is the pathway of the awakened life.

Notice where you cling to your suffering. Where you actually choose to collude with it and therefore, draw it closer to you. 

Accepting what exists inside your reality not only allows you to understand what you are doing, but to see clearly it is not who you are.

You get to choose who you are when you come to understand that life does not happen to you, it happens through you.

This highly conscious work can be confronting and overwhelming.  

It is vital to commune with these internal disparate parts in order to walk toward our healing and transformation so that we may be a renewed source of healing and luminary for others.

It’s ok to ask for help. Through invitation and curiosity, you will find the guidance you seek.

If you are going through an initiation and descent currently, (which simply means that you are having a hard time and life is not in flow for you), remember you are being called to a higher space inside yourself. 

If you answer the call from your heart-center, I assure you, liberation and rewards await.

Above all else, it is most important for you to remember that no matter your circumstances or hardship, you do not have to navigate through any of it alone. 

It’s ok to feel what you feel and it’s ok to not feel ok. This space is in-fact the gateway to the unfolding and becoming. 

The way I practice is unique and pulls from both science and spirituality, and it’s not for everyone. That’s ok. This is elevated work which is indeed available to anyone who chooses to walk toward a peaceful, abundant, pleasure filled life.

Your Soul’s Call to Wild Adventure

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

What would it be like to live in a world where we cannot help but express our true selves in healthy, sustainable, and peaceful ways?

 We can intuitively feel that we are living on the edge of a turning point in human history.

 We intuit a threshold, a precipice beyond consciousness, where we reveal our inner raw-beingness to ourselves. With it comes a faint tremor of an unspoken fear that we might not like what we find.  

 There is also a sense we are being invited to discover personal resources and knowledge previously forgotten by us.

I often recite in sacred circle about what I have come to know as truth; that our greatest transformation exists only when we ‘forget what we remember, so we may remember what we have forgotten.’

It is essential to self-witness a solid understanding of ourselves through our own inner knowing in order to feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment that our soul is calling for.

As part of our human journey, we are each contracted on a soul-level to experience soul contracts, karma, sanskars, or challenging cycles and lessons in life. We are here to learn something about ourselves as spiritual beings having a human experience.  We are always in the process of a transformative cycle in some area of our life as part of the path of our unique destiny.

Here inlays the ever-available opportunity. 

While such cycles are unavoidable, the orientation from which we palpate these cycles often determines how difficult it becomes, how long it lasts, and whether we transmute the darkness of confusion and pain into the light of new potential and possibilities in life. Healing and transformation.

Life is not random; all of our experiences are meaningful — even the painful ones.  All experiences are a call to the Soul’s wild adventure, and toward the ultimate alignment it seeks.  Witness the opportunity unfolding, it is always available to you.

Maybe you are searching for spiritual significance to help you understand the time we’re in.  Or perhaps recent world events have you wondering about the meaning of life and your purpose here.

Maybe you’re even wondering what kind of legacy we’re going to leave the next generation, and what your unique ripple in the fabric is designed to be.

Regardless of what it is or the reason why, you intuitively know things can’t continue the way they are, and yet you don’t know what you can do to change or even where to begin.

The potential of living a deeply awakened life is so magnificent and so far beyond most of what we see in the world that even when we experience it for ourselves, we often find it hard to accept that life could be this extraordinary.

In order to make room inside ourselves for the miraculous to take root, we need to uncover, and ultimately leave behind a deeply rooted insistence on a life with limitations. 

This deeply rooted and often unconscious limitation infects even the most dedicated people and subtly holds us back from taking the steps of surrender required to truly experience our own personal freedom and create a life we feel worthy of living.

As we are entering into the dark and colder months of Fall and Winter, we are called to go inward and explore our inner landscape more deeply.

What must we release in ourselves in order to become who we came here to be? Now is time to shed the barriers we have built, to release our own self-limitations.

It can often feel uncomfortable to explore these deeper parts of ourselves, but please know that you are not alone.

I offer a sacred circle of deep and personal healing.  In my practice, I integrate energy medicine and quantum healing techniques which combine modern neuroscience, practical psychology, conscious wisdom, and ancient energy practices, to create a life aligned.

Energy medicine and spiritual psychology empower you to step beyond your thoughts and feelings to witness life re-organizing around you, as your vision comes into coherent focus.

Deep Inner Work

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

“Within your subconscious depths lie infinite wisdom, infinite power, and infinite supply of all that is necessary, which is waiting for development and expression.” -Joseph Murphy

The summer seems to have slipped away as if overnight.  Here we are entering Fall, the season of change, transition, and a deep purging of those aspects which need to die-off and transmute to make space for new creations within us.  It is a time to prepare our hearts, bodies and minds for the dark, colder months ahead. To garden and toil the fertile void welcoming in new sweeter aspects of self and life to be birthed.

I don’t know about you, but for me, this time of year I’m called to go inward and find my drishti, to challenge myself to retain only the parts which are truly aligned, and shed all those which no longer serve me.

A radical surrender

With so much happening in the world, I feel more than ever, the importance of grounding myself in my truest heart-center preserving my life-force for my highest, most beloved virtues.

Inner work is a powerful form of spiritual and psychological alchemy. And little by little, it creates a deep transformation within you and throughout the world.

What could be better than healing, awakening, finding true joy and freedom, stepping into your power, living in harmony with others, and sending beautiful ripples of love and transformation out into existence?

But this kind of inner exploration is difficult, it takes commitment and courage. It’s not for the weak of heart or character. It’s not for the ambivalent or impatient. It is for the brave, the change-agents, the way-showers, the wise healers.

It is the psychological and spiritual practice of diving deep into your inner self for the purposes of self-exploration, self-understanding, healing, and spiritual transformation.

Our work is to shine the light of awareness onto the different layers of our mind:  the conscious, subconscious and unconscious realms to become super-conscious.

Inner Work

Inner work, in its very essence, is about placing truth and the desire for freedom (Love) above all else. It’s about allowing yourself to be called out, torn down, burned, and built back up with a greater integrity and discernment. More peace, inner-fire and connectivity.

It is a journey to face our darkest shadows, to embody our most Divine Light, and to fortify Oneness in and around us.

If, like me, you’re being called to turn inwards in preparation for the alchemy ahead, please don’t hesitate to reach out.  I would be most honored to witness your unfolding.

Energy Medicine Explained

Posted on by caseystevens888

Have you noticed that when we witness or experience shame, abandonment or neglect, particularly at a young age, the shock from that experience remains with us as an unconscious somatic traumatic imprint in our system?

The reverberations echo through us today.

These disappointments and traumas left un-mended become our core wounds, or the deepest fundamental beliefs that we have about ourselves on the subconscious level. Therefore, our habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

How would you experience life if you could nourish and reorganize these imprinted subconscious patterns, heal your fragmentation, and re-imagine your ideal virtues?
Can we become resilient and devotional to these un-met parts? Sovereign. Integrated. And Whole again?

 

Casey Stevens holding large crystal

There are infinite psychologies, ancient medicine practices and quantum healing techniques that can be used to help you to overcome discontent, dis-ease, dis-regulation, defense mechanisms, and maladaptive patterns organically. You can grow and awaken to live from a place of individuation, autonomy, agency, flow, joy, and love.

Energy healing modalities honor the inter-connection between the physical body, and the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. A psychological-spiritual lens is systemic and multi-dimensional, and holds that dis-order can appear in any of these layers when impacted by imbalances, and fragmented parts from any other layer of our being, or timeline.

Therefore, healing occurs when we descend into these fragmented aspects and retrieve our healthy un-met needs by delivering softness, kindness, presence, and attunement to our younger self who was injured. In this reckoning, an awakened, empowered, embodied Self emerges with clarity and peace, eager to create presence with themselves and others, build a luminous future.

Blending traditional psychologies with quantum energy healing techniques may be used for the clearing and activation of cellular memory and neural pathways, light codes and subliminal trauma responses of the human energy field. Multidimensional psychotherapy promotes health, balance and wellbeing throughout the body, the psyche, and the spirit within the space and time continuum.

This modern medicine is potent.

Energy Medicines Explained

This form of therapy is intuitive, ethereal and ineffable. It derives from Eastern Ancient Medicine practices and training and the quantum consciousness of all frequencies, focusing on expansive energy expression and coherent organization. Patterns, memory fields, psychic traumas and limiting beliefs are re-organized to amplify conscious awareness and an invitation to initiate embodiment of that which we do not readily know, see or understand, illuminated as our innate truth.

Integrating quantum energy medicine into clinical psychotherapy sessions invokes radical shifts and changes in dense, old and stuck patterns you have come to identify with, suffer endlessly from, and yet maintain as part of your daily reality. Quantum mechanics, when used in aligned resonance, delivers you to your truest, highest soul expression.

During quantum sessions we isolate, organize and restructure non-productive, maladaptive patterns and create clarity and transformation to propel you forward with inspired purpose. 

You may benefit from this approach if…

  • You feel stuck and unmotivated
  • You feel lost, disempowered, and don’t know yourself
  • You experience a lot of self doubt and worry
  • You find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns personally and interpersonally
  • You find yourself reliving the past
  • You experience a pattern over and over again that seems to block you from moving beyond your current circumstances
  • You are living the “life of your dreams” and yet you aren’t as happy as you expected to be
  • You are successful, yet acutely suffering in your inner world
  • You are seeking clarity for life purpose and guidance on your pathway
  • You seek to understand the symptoms of your life
  • You would like to awaken your greater potential
  • You are experiencing a spiritual awakening, or transiting a dark night of the soul and need a container and guide
  • You are struggling to overcome your challenges alone
  • You have tried everything else; traditional, linear therapies, or ungrounded healings and you know something comprehensive is needed

Integration of these techniques can help you…

  • Break the grip of past pains
  • Heal painful family dynamics
  • Transcend archaic relational frameworks
  • Release yourself from fear
  • Surrender the victim consciousness you wear as a badge
  • Believe in yourself again, and learn to trust your inner guidance
  • Achieve clear knowing and remove the filters of your trauma responses to move forward
  • Leave behind chaos, drama, and toxicity
  • Discover how to set boundaries with yourself
  • Reconnect to your heart’s deepest knowing and anchor your visions into your body
  • Learn to listen to your internal compass to guide your highest calling and the messengers in your body
  • Trust yourself and others
  • Identify triggers and trauma responses for what they are
  • Follow your innate intuitive guidance
  • Uncover unique keys to creating a life you love living
  • Overcome anxiety, shame, grief, self hate & self doubt
  • Become Conscious of your highest virtue and values
  • Find meaning in your past failures and strength in your traumas
  • Stop sabotaging your desires, dreams and future
  • Unravel the stories and release the limitations around difficult life transitions
  • Reprogram your energy field and neural pathways to magnify high frequencies aligned with your energy signature
  • View all life and circumstances as an opportunity

Spiritual Psychology

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

With so much uncertainty in the world, it’s clear there is a great need for a more soul-centric approach to psychology; a multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional way to heal oneself.

This is known as Spiritual Psychology.  

Spiritual Psychology is an inner transformation that provides an opportunity to merge with your highest Self; as a way to connect more deeply to your relationships and the world around you.

It delves into the path of uncovering the truth. The truth about the soul, cosmos, and nature.

 

Djembe Drum with Crystals and candles sitting on top

 

Transformation can be painful, but spirituality combined with traditional psychology softens the hard edges of the discomfort you may feel during this transformation.  It provides a depth and a breadth into healing in a more profound way; a quantum experience.

By approaching our healing in this way, we treat our wounds much more holistically and step into a conscious awareness.

Where traditional psychotherapy examines how challenges happen to or for you, spiritual psychology offers how challenges can be healed through you.  

It is an empowered stance where meaning and radical change are experienced.

 

It doesn’t interest me who you know

Or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me 

And not shrink back.

-Oriah-

 

Are you ready to stand in the center of your own fire and not shrink back?

I would love to hold the container for you, a caldron for your growth and well-being.

Would you like guidance in uncovering your truth and healing your core wounds?
