Mel has enjoyed several defining moments in his life. In mid-life, in business and with two young children, Mel had been living the life he had planned. Yet, he felt a desire for deeper fulfillment, longing for a calling with far deeper purpose. In one of his defining moments, Mel chose to welcome the uncertainty that lay ahead as he embarked on an entirely new path. He closed his business, applied to, and enrolled in graduate school to follow his emerging passion–serving others as a psychotherapist. Mel became excited by new ways of thinking that propelled him to transcend the limiting protocols taught in graduate school. He began to immerse himself in emergent ways of thinking coming from quantum physics, philosophy, and other areas beyond the field of psychology. This evolving perspective enabled him to forge a singular new therapeutic approach from which to assist his clients.

SHARE: https://www.welloflight.com/conversations/michael-stone-emotional-reparenting-of-trauma-fragmentation
In this episode, Michael shares an Emotional Reparenting, Trauma-Informed Approach to Personal and Cultural Healing Master Class. He discusses how our physical and emotional numbing keeps up locked into dysfunctional and repetitive behaviour that robs us of our ability to relate to ourselves, others, and the natural world. This numbing is a symptom of trauma fragmentation and is actually a gift of hundreds of thousands of years of an evolving nervous system that is designed to protect us in the face of overwhelming circumstances. Reparenting is a process of integrating trauma symptoms by connecting our adult selves with our earlier child self and giving him or her the nurturing we may have missed as a child. Michael Stone is a spiritual author, mentor, shamanic practitioner, radio host, producer, and trauma integration facilitator who co-creates individual and group environments and experiences that support people in transcending the myth of separation, and experiencing deep and profound interconnection with others and all of life. He has been teaching and leading experiential events, classes, teleseminars, and workshops on Organizational Development, Embodied Shamanism, Moving Meditation, Mysticism, Personal Growth, and Spiritual Fulfillment for over 40 years. www.WellofLight.com For more information on the Well of Light Global Community, Programs, Radio shows and Services go to www.welloflight.com To access other great interviews and offerings: www.patreon.com/welloflight Your donations are gratefully received and make it all possible!

In this episode, Michael talks with author, mystical teacher, and dreamworker Toko-pa Turner about belonging and the barriers, challenges, and beliefs that leave us feeling like we don’t belong. They also explore how the myth of separation created by personal, intergenerational, and collective trauma keeps us estranged from each other, nature, and the invisible forces of the world. They also look at how spiritual kinship comes from recognizing and experiencing holy reciprocity with the natural world and all her creatures. Toko-pa is a Canadian author and dreamworker who blends the mystical teachings of Sufism with a Jungian approach to dreams. Her first book “Belonging” was awarded the 2018 Gold Nautilus Award for its contribution to the field of Personal Growth, the Gold Readers’ Favourite, and was shortlisted for the Whistler Independent Book Award. Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa’s work focuses on restoring the feminine, reciprocity with nature, reconciling paradoxes, honoring grief, ritual, and making beauty. She lives on a small island in the Salish Sea.
