AYA Balm - The Heart Chakra - Broken-Heart, Grief, Dark-Heart, Lose, Separation, Closure

Your Body Never Lies
Trauma Balm is made to be used for energetic wounds, to reduce side effects of chronic stress, to restore balance, and increase health. Trauma is not as unique of an experience as people have come to believe. Trauma is shock to the nervous system. And who is to say what causes shock from one person to another. Your body can tell you if you have been shocked by the intensity of the tensions you may ritualistically sense in various ways. Trauma is also chronic stress repeated for long periods of time. Stress is a natural occurrence of living for human-beings and animals alike. Yet too much stress can have the same effect on the nervous system as someone who has been to war. When you have been shocked and stressed either by one singular monumentous life changing event that impacted your self-image in a negative way or ambiently experienced having to walk around eggshells around unspoken hostility, you could have also experienced extreme well known causes of trauma over a long period of time; your sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or freeze) if gone untreated, is continuously releasing adrenaline through the blood stream. This is a signal like pressing the gas pedal in a car. Pumping GO! into your body systems. Trauma happens when the the body is told to GO! FIGHT! RUN! LEAVE! FIGHT! and you can't complete the intense cycle that the outside trigger activated. This leaves a part of you fragmented, frozen, stuck, living in a state of numbness and discomfort. The Para-sympathetic nervous system is in charge of relaxation after the stress is over. The para-sympathetic system is the brake. When both systems are on at the same time it creates an inner world of numbness which no one else can see or hear. Some people live their lives like their foot on the gas and brake at the same time. Causing hell-ish symptoms on the inside of the mind, the sensations of the body (pain), and repeated psycho-dramas in relationships. All this can be healed. During trauma healing sessions we unwind the nervous system out of this tortured state of being to feeling alive again. Our Trauma Balms assist in calming the nervous system, the mind, and body as you ease your way back into the health, vitality, and holistic functioning. Use your Trauma Balm on areas that feel "hit." For example many people carry stress in the shoulders, some experience migraines, and many more have lower back. Often individuals seek medical attention for unknown pain and the doctors can't seem to find any illness. When this occurs often there is unacknowledged trauma in the subconscious (the body). The body never lies.

The Creamy Conduit
The tactile experience of rubbing a balm on area of the body where you feel energetic discomfort or pain caused by what may be trauma known or as-yet to be discovered is nourishing and nurturing. Communicating care to the fragmented parts that need it the most.  Avocado Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil are the conduits for the extremely healing tinctures, herbs, roots, flowers, and seeds that take their medicinal throne. You will feel satisfied as your body absorbs the medicine and your mind lets go of its hold on the task of obsessively trying to figure out whats wrong and how to fix it. Let the balm take care of you. These moments of relief are a necessary experience as you titrate from learning to life as un-triggered (neutral) as possible.

The Heart Chakra
Is the 4th Chakra, Anahata in sanskrit, meaning unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten. The heart chakra is the bridge between the lower chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus) and the upper chakras (throat, third eye, and crown). A chakra is an energy portal or wheel that is connected from the front and the back. The idea of the chakras isn't "proven" by science but as a reiki healer I can vouch from personal experience that the chakras exist and have valuable information of what is happening, what has happened and what needs to be cleared so that wheels can turn in harmony with another. Creating a flow of energy from the lower to the upper chakra. 

When we experience a imbalanced relationships where we give more than we receive it creates a closed heart chakra. You know your heart chakra is closed when you fear intimacy, you stay away connection, you end up in co-dependent relationships, your boundaries or either too closed or too loose, you are defensive, you are unavailable emotionally, maybe too demanding. When your heart is open you have healthy boundaries and flirt with life. You are creative and find creative solutions in relationships and the ups-downs in relationships have a flow. You are capable of being compassionate without crossing the line of absorbing everyones pain. You look forward to life and see life as an adventure. When we put up with disrespect and aren't treated the way we deserve to be treated it causes heart trauma. Grief is a part of this. Grief happens when we have to let go off a heart connection on a soul level. These connections can be for our loved ones that have crossed over or for loved ones that are still alive in the physical realm but that we must allow to go on their own journey separate from us. 

New Additions

Hawthorn Berries are in the rose family. Hawthorn berries have neutral energetics being that they have cooling anti-inflammatory for the cardiovascular and is also warming by way of its sour energetics. What is special about these berries is they are a vasodilator and heart tonic that is tropho-restorative. " Tropho refers to nourishment so a tropho-restorative herb is one that strengthens an organ through nourishment.

Hibiscus is a part of the rose family and the part of plant used in this Trauma Balm is the root. Hibiscus is Anti-dyslipidemic, unclogging the arteries of too much fat, bad fats, making room for your true passions, and happiness. Getting rid of of fat could mean letting go of attachments that no longer serve you for your highest and best good. Hibiscus has Post heparin lipolytic activity, has to do with the regulation of high/low blood pressure. Not living in alignment with your hearts true desires, not living a life to your fullness from a heart centered place would cause imbalances in blood, heart, artery, and their relationships with the metabolism. Trying to fill up your passions with empty calories instead of real nutrients. In conjunction with the AYA Balm you may think about releasing what is on your heart.
