Trauma, the Imaginal, and Awakening, Julie Yau

As our conception of consciousness expands to include what was once unconscious, a greater awareness develops that embraces others, the natural world and the cosmos, while potentiating opening to primordial awareness. These important dimensions will be discussed and explored in the context of healing trauma. The process by which a trauma heals is inherently turbulent, often complex and rarely occurs in a linear sequence; however, each dimension of recovery provides a broader context and wider possibility of meaning to the individual’s experience and consciousness. When trauma is healed, especially early trauma that arrests the development of aspects of our consciousness, an authentic spiritual awakening may occur, allowing people to reconnect to themselves and the world. Included in the presentation on resolving trauma, will be a focus on the imaginal, the intermediary realm that links the sensuous world of matter and the invisible world of mystery and spirit. Our culture has stripped the body and imagination of its mystery and numinosity, yet these elements are vital in most spiritual traditions for awakening. We may benefit from recognizing that the separation of the psyche from the spiritual domain is the root of a large problem. The psyche has been alienated not only from spirit but also from nature, the body, and people’s very lives, partly through the severing of imagination. We will explore how the imagination holds a reality creating potential, which is often uncovered through trauma, altered states of consciousness and extreme emotional states. The manifestation of the imaginal may allow one to reclaim their authenticity, and to open the truth of nondual awareness, or simply the inclusion of the imaginal in one’s everyday spiritual practice will assist with one’s spiritual illumination.
