Trauma & The Chakras - by Anthony Bradley

COURSE

Trauma & The Chakras

With Anthony Bradley

Much is discussed concerning trauma’s effects on the nervous system and the cognitive functioning of an individual; how our sense of self is compromised, inner esteem, and sense of ground fragmented. However, to fully understand the healing process, the energetic ramifications of trauma must be examined as well. This course aims to synthesize modern knowledge and understanding of adverse experiences’ cognitive or intellectual effects and their impact on the energetic or intangible self – namely, how to understand and recode the energy of lack, lovelessness, and powerlessness that so many trauma survivors struggle with. This is done by examining several archetypes, backed by the work of Jung and other pioneers, as well as delving deeper into each chakra’s characteristics and functioning after trauma.

Lesson 1

The Rainbow Bridge

In this foundational lesson, we examine the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ – the seven major energy centers in our body – giving an overview of key functions/terms (including energetic blockages, upward and downward energy currents, and unblocking) we will use throughout the course in the healing processes.

Lesson 2

The Character Structures

Before taking an in-depth look at how each chakra is impacted by adverse experiences, it is necessary to explore archetypes – or character structures – that stem from excess or deficiency. These several personality types will shed light on your personal journey and current standpoint energetically.

Lesson 3

Lucky Number Seven

In this lesson, an overview of the chakras and their general interaction or dynamic is given. Seven identities and “rights” coexist within the body; understanding each energy center, both individually and in the context of the whole, provides a foundation for the human psyche’s wholeness.

Lesson 4

The Body’s Temple: Root Chakra

In today's session, the first chakra’s major features and developmental process are explored; issues include survival, the right to exist, groundedness, trust, health, and family in general – all impacted by an unsafe, unsupportive, and unpredictable environment. Healing exercises are also explored.

Lesson 5

The Waters Of Emotion: Sacral Chakra

The second chakra concerns emotions; how we flow in and out of states of consciousness but are often blocked by societal expectations, sudden chaos or change, and hostile reception. Issues such as desire, need, sensation, and flow are explored.

Lesson 6

Solar Power: Solar Plexus Chakra

As the center of the ego, the solar plexus chakra provides our strength in identity and individuality. It is the foundation of life itself, and when weakened, it lacks the energy of playfulness and joy. ‘Power’ is a key issue in recovering from trauma; reclaiming it, and with that life force, our right to cause change.

Lesson 7

The Heart Of The Matter: Heart Chakra

Love is said to be the universal driving force behind all of life. As the chakra bridges the basic, primal instincts of survival and ego, and the higher, more abstract aspects of spirituality, creativity, and intuition, we must examine the heart chakra’s potential to heal and “glue” a fragmented sense of self – through compassion and integration – back together.

Lesson 8

Speaking Our Truth: Throat Chakra

Adverse experiences and a difficult childhood force us to swallow our truths, and forget our own feelings and rights. The throat chakra, connected to the second (sacral chakra), is where we find the strength to verbalize and make audible our own identities. Creativity is a powerful force in healing, and balance lies in finding new possibilities for self-expression.

Lesson 9

The Way I See Things: Third Eye Chakra

When denial, lies, and untruths run rampant in our developmental experiences, we become obsessed with image – but lack substance underneath. The third eye chakra concerns the visual aspect of our lives; our projections on others and our self-image. With our perceptions, we can command our reality and see through the fog of illusion to push forward with true vision.

read more

Lesson 10

The Thousand-Petaled Lotus: Crown Chakra

In the seventh chakra, we encounter the mystery of consciousness; who is the experiencer in our reality? Separate, yet intertwined with our thoughts, emotions, and sensations, consciousness is where we encounter meaning, the ‘higher self' and make tangible concepts like nonattachment and spiritual connection.

This is by far the most eye/mind opening course on Chakras I have taken and I have been through these a LOT! So much so that I have bought both the books you quoted from throughout the lessons. This course connected many dots of my life that I have been grappling with! So thank you so very much for these 10 days. 🙏🏽 Any other book suggestion is welcome. Especially by Jung.
