Question: I ask the ascended masters to comment on the effectiveness of trauma healing for disciples living in authoritarian countries. I live in Russia and see how the state’s repression machine is gaining momentum and how the risks of thinking Russians to express their opinions freely are increasing not only in public space but already among their close friends and acquaintances. I am trying to heal my traumas from my previous lives and I know that the shock I experienced during my birth trauma was the strongest. However, I am not comforted by the idea that if something similar happens to me in this life I will not have such a severe shock. I know there will be a shock and I do not want to experience that in this lifetime. Nevertheless, I understand that the free will of hostile minded people might allow them to implement such a scenario again. This is not only repression but also what might happen soon when my angry, disappointed, deceived compatriots begin to return from the Ukrainian front. It is one thing to heal one’s trauma in a humane western society where the risks of being exposed to them again are minimal and another thing to heal in a society with such a high degree of insensitivity to life as in Russia. I have encountered that in my own experience talking to people close to me whom I loved and loved but who show great indifference to the suffering of Ukrainians and their dying compatriots. I ask the ascended masters to comment on how to be and heal in this situation.
Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Easter Webinar.
Well, we fully understand the difficulty of living in any totalitarian country and being a student on the spiritual path. We fully understand your concerns that you can heal a past trauma and be exposed to it again. Nevertheless, you can never lose from healing a trauma. You can never lose from healing a trauma. Even if you were exposed to a similar situation again, you would still be better off by pursuing healing of trauma before it happened.
Just consider how you are phrasing the question. You are concerned that even if your birth trauma was the most severe trauma, you would still be deeply affected by a trauma in this lifetime. But consider what would happen if you were exposed to such a situation without having done anything to heal your psychology. Does it not stand to reason that the trauma would be worse? Whereas if you did make an effort to heal your trauma, then even if another situation happened, you would still be better off. It would not be as bad as it would have been if you did not pursue healing.
So obviously, we always encourage people to pursue healing and trauma healing can indeed be helpful, especially when you combine it with giving decrees and invocations and using the tools we have for overcoming not only the birth trauma but separate selves caused from other traumas. You cannot lose—you cannot lose by pursuing healing.
And yes, trauma counseling can be very helpful for many people who have been exposed to severe trauma. Even the trauma of growing up in a nation where you cannot express yourself freely and where you can never feel secure based on what might happen. Healing is never wasted and quite frankly, if you do heal your birth trauma, a second trauma will not be as severe. It cannot be. You may fear it, but it cannot be as severe. You will still be better off no matter what happens, being healed.
But the other thing is, as we have said before, the universe is a mirror, so by healing the trauma, you might not be exposed to another situation. And if you have this fear of what can happen, then do not take a risk, do not feel that you have to speak out, if you are very concerned about being exposed to a traumatic situation. Then hold your peace, make the calls, pursue your personal healing and let the other people do whatever they do without engaging them.
