How Can I Heal Past Traumas And Lead A Full Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, P.
P: I’ve been traveling for ten years and I wish to find a place and people where I feel at home. I wish to heal myself and find my way and my mission so I can live my life fully – a lightful, meaningful life that radiates love and light to others.
I have many connected questions. Please feel free to answer one or more, or all of them if you wish.
How can I fully heal myself psychologically, physically, emotionally, and energetically, and my past traumas so I can live this life fully?
Council: The main thing for you to do is lots of sitting quietly. Whether you meditate or just sit still, even if it’s ten minutes a day, and think of what it would feel like for you to be out of your body and experience yourself as just energy. You’re floating along and you have the power to create anything you want in this reality.
Everything you manifest and every feeling you have must come from energy first. We advise you to do the energy work, to sit and create that feeling, and just sit and wait. Ask for that feeling and it will come. That’s the beginning.
Then energetically reach for the feeling of joy, whether it be something you remember from your past that gives you joy, or something in the future that you fantasize about. When you’re in the state of feeling like pure energy, reach for the joy, and in that state you can create what you want.
And how do you do this? Think of every part of your life, physically, mentally, and energetically. If you don’t know how to do this, have the intention that you want to heal all of this. Then let go, be in that joy, and imagine your life in any way you wish it to be.
There’s nothing you can’t create with your thoughts. When you’re constantly in joy, and you’re constantly thinking of what you want your life to be like, it must come to you. There’s no struggle involved. There’s nothing you have to do physically to heal, What you have to do is get into the level of energy and joy. And when you’re in that state, everything you want must come to you. There’s no doctor or counselor you have to run to.
You’re here now, as all are in this reality, to learn how to heal whatever it is with your mind. It’s a big leap at this time how we, as spirits, are going forward. You must use your mind to create, to pretend like a child would pretend, and see your life the way you want it to be. There’s no stopping what you want. The thing that stops it is not believing what you want, and doubting because what you want isn’t coming fast enough. You must take your mind and switch it to a place of joy and the perfect life you’d like to create. That will bring everything you need. The universe will supply you with the right people, the right situations, and everything you need. Get into a state of joyful energy.
P: And how can I manifest my full potential and my higher self in this lifetime?
Council: You are your higher self. You don’t have to manifest it, you need to connect with it. You do this through meditation. When you’re going through your day and there’s a period where you’re laughing and feeling good, you’ve connected to your higher self. Your higher self will take you in the direction you need to go. There’s no separation between you and your higher self. You are your higher self. It’s just that you need to get into a state where you feel connected.
What connects you to your higher self? Joy does. Again we remind you to get into that state.
If you don’t know what you want to do in this lifetime, if you’re confused about what direction you want to go in, when you meditate every day, when you work to be grateful for what you have, and when you do the work to want more joy, to see your life loving and fulfilled, when you keep doing this it must come to you. It’s the power of your mind. With your mind you can move mountains. You may laugh and say that’s not true, but in the future, people will see that it is true. The mind is powerful.
You’ve volunteered to come into this life to have challenges. And with your mind, with the power of light, with the power of joy and happiness, you planned to change your life and bring whatever you want into it.
P: How can I manage the darkish energies that sometimes manifest strongly in me?
Council: How do you see this dark energy? Do you see it as something evil? Do you see it as depression? Do you see it as fear? This darkish energy you speak of is only thoughts you connect with that you’re afraid are around you, thoughts you feel some uncomfortableness with, and so you feel it is dark energy.
When you feel this uncomfortableness, it’s because whatever you’re thinking, whatever you’re doing, doesn’t agree with your higher self. Your higher self will have you feeling uncomfortable. And when you feel this way what can happen is you say: What am I thinking of? Let me let go of that and go back and search for the feeling of joy.
The dark energy is just your higher self saying: Okay, you’re going off your path right now. Come back to the joy. Come back to seeing yourself surrounded by light. Come back to seeing yourself as a spirit with so much power, and the thought of coming here to have the fun of changing everything. When you do this you won’t feel the dark energy. It’s only your thoughts you need to change.
Have fun on your journey. We’re here to support you, help you, and cheer you on. Have fun. That was your idea coming into this reality. Enjoy the adventure.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Dear Council,
Please help! Will my children ever feel good at school? My 10 year old struggles academically due to attention issues but does great socially, though the environment is lively and distracting which doesn’t help his attention issues. My 8 year old struggles socially, hasn’t made a good friend there in 3 years and hates going to school, but does great academically. We are considering switching schools (to a small private religious school, though we are not of that faith) or homeschooling, but those are upheavals as well and is it worth the financial strain to send them to a private school? Would they be happy doing homeschool? In addition to feeling like we are constantly struggling with their individual school issues, mass shootings in the news make me fear that school is no longer a safe place for kids. The whole topic of school feels so intense and has been a struggle for 4 years. Do you have any insight as to why we’ve struggled so much and if there is a better option for our family? I don’t want to live in fear anymore and I don’t want to be weary of the subject of school anymore.
Many thanks!
Kati

Hello, How many times does one reincarnate, is it reincarnation for all eternity? What is it like in Spirit, what do you get to do while you are there?
Or is there a point in which you have lived enough lives that you don’t have to reincarnate anymore?
Also Thank you for asking these questions. It’s really nice to have a website like this up and running,
Flamingo

I have made an abortion recently and it was not something that I really wanted to do, and I´m still deeply sad about it. I would like to ask The Council if this was a soul agreement between me and the child, if we will be reunited again in this life and how can I best deal with this and move on with my life. I also would like to know why did the father of this child rejected us and if this was also a soul agreement between us. Thank you so much for caring.

Thank you very much for your inspiring answers and for reminding me of joy. Confirming my feeling, that when I feel joy inside means that is the “right direction” or the right choice.
About what you said on “believing”.
Believing is for me hard, and feels dangerous and can feel not wise.
I have a part of me which is very rational and skeptical and protective, and another part which has a lot of imagination, and would love every nice thing, spirit and story to be true. I feel like “in between” or being a mix.
To answer you about what I called “darkish energy”, they are thoughts and feelings, that feel like another side of me, or an external energy taking place in me, because when this happens inside I hardly can control it. In those moments I am not able to change my thoughts, it feels energy, not only thoughts. Energy carring anger, envy, strong merciless judgement towards almost anyone, hardness, desire, coldness, …and all this…strongly! Not like normal thoughts, it feels really like something “taking me”. It happens sometimes.
About your suggestion to meditate: I was meditating for a while, I even have been living in a meditation monastery for two months, where we were meditating 5-6 hours a day and it was great although boring after sometime.
I have seen meditation was very useful for me, as I was able to see better my mind and had less overthinking. But…since long…I am not able to meditate or to enter a meditative state because my mind chat very strongly. Conscious dancing or connecting with the body helps me to quiet my mind. In any case, I have a constant very strong mental talking, apart sometimes when I dance or listen music.
As I have a constant mental chatting and distraction, I am not sure I will be able to do what you suggested…to visualize me out of the body etc. I also have very much difficulty to keep a routine, a constant practice. I feel to be spontaneous and to do what I feel in the present moment, so and I find very hard to do the same thing all the time, have a time-schedule or a constant practice.
Is there a more “spontaneous” and “quick” way to find the connection to joy and to the power of creating and healing with the mind?
About the other questions that haven’t been answered I wonder if will be possible to ask them again after sometime, so to perhaps have your answers.
I would really love to have at some point the answer to those questions.
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
With gratitude for your caring
