From the Trauma Vortex to the Field of Abundance

Oct 22, 2025

I help people move from the trauma vortex to the field of abundance.

The trauma vortex is very narrow. The field of abundance is infinite and is where all of the possibilities in the universe reside.

More on the trauma vortex:

You know when you are triggered, activated, hurt, and all you can think of is the trigger? Most humans experience those moments where things contract, and the only thing we can see is what’s challenging, going wrong, or scary. Even if the sun is out and there are beautiful, fresh flowers on the table, when in the narrow vortex, you may not see it. And if you do see it—someone smiling at you, something in a softer frequency—it may register in your nervous system as something to be irritable about instead of something that helps soften you. Know that feeling?

Inside the trauma vortex, vision narrows—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. I’ve taken many somatic healing trainings, and the more advanced ones always teach us how to track, notice, and work with the eyes. Because vision narrows when we get “sucked in,” and vision is also a powerful tool to help us remain balanced in the present moment. In advanced energy healing work, it’s similar—but instead of working with the actual eyes, we work with inner vision and what we can or can’t see or orient to in the quantum field.

When inside the narrow vision of the trauma vortex, what is “reality” to us is also very narrow. What we can see is what we believe to be true. And because our vision is limited, so are our beliefs or “truths.” You know when people say, “The reality is I am and always will suffer,” or “The reality is there’s not enough,” or “The reality is I’ll be scarred for life”? While that may be true in the reality of the trauma vortex, it is never true in the “truthier true” reality—the field of abundance.

Since most humans have experienced trauma—some big ‘T,’ some little ‘t,’ some developmental, some ancestral, societal, sexual, religious, or relational—most of our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, were created in that space of narrow vision. This creates a world where we have limited thinking, limited feeling, limited experiencing, and a limit to our believing, loving, and presence—ultimately, a limited reality.

But this journey isn’t only about healing trauma; it’s about remembering that we are on a journey of the soul—your soul, which dreamed this journey into form. Our souls committed and contracted to partner with our human bodies and experiences so we can forget, remember, expand, and experience. So we can heal our souls and the world, and ultimately remember: we are the Infinite, remembering itself in form.

The field of abundance is not something to get to, to create, or to manifest. It’s simply a frequency to tap into—always available, at all times. It’s the frequency of soul, of God, of having, of faith, of enoughness, of flow. It’s the frequency of presence, ease, play, love, pleasantness, spaciousness, allowance—possibility.

It’s the frequency of creation, where everything that ever gets created gets created from. Everything that tries to be manifested from the vortex may happen, but it’s hard, challenging, and can feel limited or frustrating. Everything created from the field of abundance comes with ease, flow, courage, and faith.

The thing I love about this work—helping people move into the frequency of the field of abundance—is that it’s the ultimate work of balance: remembering that we are souls having a human experience.

When we bypass our trauma, we often create a spiritual bypassing kind of shame that masks itself as a spiritual experience, but the illusion eventually crumbles. And when we spend too much time with our trauma—or do trauma healing that isn’t precise, helpful, or spirit-aware—we can fall into “soul bypassing,” an experience that leaves us stuck, stagnant, unsatisfied, and disconnected from the flowing force of life that we are and that surrounds us.

How to move from the trauma vortex to the field of abundance:

Step 1: I am aware. Become aware of what you’re feeling and experiencing. Practice awareness often—notice your patterns, your subconscious, your inner world. Recognize that you are the awareness, not the pattern.

Step 2: I feel. Don’t bypass your feelings. Feel and express. Suppression or regression leads to stagnation. Feel your feelings, but remember—you are the one who feels them. Don’t become what you feel.

Step 3: I create. Remember your co-creative power with the divine. There is never a moment in which you can’t create. Compassion, stillness, a shower, a smile—all of these are creative acts. Take action, big or small.

Step 4: I am. Remember who you are—not what you do, but who you be. Anchor into the truth of who you want to be, and then act from that place.

Step 5: I am. Remember the “I AM” beyond any identity. You are a piece of infinity.

The field of abundance is where all the possibilities in the universe reside.

The Trauma Vortex is very narrow,

The Field of Abundance is Infinite!
