Looking at the World Through a Fractured Lens

It is long past time for the subconscious mind and the effects of subconscious clutter to be given front and center attention. The same attention should also be given to the effects of grief that has never been acknowledged, resolved, or completed.



The residue of our past is imprinted and stored in the body and subconscious mind, and has shaped our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. It is my heartfelt belief that the root causes of a significant number of the physical, mental, and emotional dis-eases that thousands of people endure each day originate in the subconscious. Starting in the womb, and on through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood our subconscious mind and the cells of our body have been "recording" the words and experiences we have encountered. These words and experiences imprinted on our subconscious mind have played a significant role in the formation of mental blocks, habit patterns, and beliefs that are now shaping our lives.

So, the grief we feel is compounded and complicated by the previous losses we have experienced. When we suffer a significant loss, the subconscious clutter of our past will deeply impact the grief we feel surrounding the present loss. The grief we are feeling due to the present loss will resonate and awaken a variety of past subconscious memories. It could be memories of long forgotten feelings from previous loss, forgotten feelings of abandonment, mistreatment, or any number of other emotional or mental wounds suffered long ago.



The impact of our subconscious mind and grief that was never resolved, cannot, and should not, be underestimated. What is the relationship between the subconscious and prolonged anxiety, or depression, or insecurity, or a variety of physical ailments? Are we experiencing depression, anger, or anxiety because we are still grieving a loss from long ago that we thought we had "gotten over"? Is our grief mor...
