Trauma & Spirituality
Most of us are straddling states of overwhelm. Vicarious trauma is real and relates to psychobiological changes that take place within us when we witness gross injustice and oppression. We are also hitting a level of compassion fatigue in our community I haven't seen in my years as a practitioner. The purpose of our lives is not to avoid trauma. Trauma is an inevitable part of the drama of life. But one of our purposes is to wrestle with life; to mingle with the elements of the world and the expansion/contraction principle that governs it, processing and digesting the overwhelming emotions and states that arise from our being in this world, and de-fragmenting our being back in wholeness and connection. We will dive a bit deeper into this important topic, nesting it within an Islamic paradigm and offering some practical tools as to how we can find our center again by re-connecting with our embodied hearts. This lecture is a taste of what this course is all about. May Allah accept this offering and make it beneficial for the Ummah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam).
