Remove the Mask of Your Trauma So You Can Shine

By Rebecka Eggers | Oct 18, 2019

Within traumatic systems, it is entirely possible, maybe even probable, that the most damage isn’t actually done by the perpetrators, but by the so-called, “bystanders.”

How to Activate the Power of YOUR Apocalyptic Passion

By Rebecka Eggers | Oct 14, 2019

If you will listen a little closer, I think you will find another truth waiting to be heard. This unsteady heartbeat is not an extinction cry. It is the nascent, somewhat unsteady, pulse of passion struggling to breathe in the deadly smog of futility. It is the hopeful, still alive future begging to be resuscitated. It is destiny in search of a first responder.

And who but you can place her lips upon the mouth of hope and vitality? Who but you can perform this act of CPR on tomorrow?

No one!

How to Be Happier in Troubled Times

By Rebecka Eggers | Nov 11, 2019

Once you achieve this level of personal coherence and life authorship, you then reach the point at which you the portal. You become the doorway through which others can seize the opportunity and the invitation to change.

You become an atmosphere changer, a sniper systematically eliminating the old realities of trauma-based living, first for yourself, and then for those around you.

How to Break the Trauma Bond You Have with Trump

By Rebecka Eggers | Nov 1, 2019

And this is the one and only lie he needs to make unassailable. This is the grandest of his efforts. He wishes to destroy the checks and balances, or at least give the appearance that he has. In this way, we fall under the spell of our own inessentiality. We fall prey to our sense that it is futile to even attempt real change or to invest in a tomorrow that may never come.

But the key to recovering from any exploitative, toxic, trauma bond is actually to begin to see the glitches in the matrix.

Comfort Lies Are Killing Our Future

And from this stillness, walk resolutely, with tears streaming (as they surely will), into the heart-promise of this harvest we have called forth today. Do the work of ripping up weeds from your inner garden. Check your pockets for a multiplication of that original seed. Cast every last morsel of promise upon the bone-dry ground. Prepare the storehouse for more than you think it can hold. Water the land of your inner world as best you can. Remember, your tears are more powerful for coaxing forth the first fruits of this harvest than you can even imagine. But a smile brings torrents of rain (living water straight from your belly) and bright, brilliant sunrises in your eyes.
