Hosted by Matthew Green. Produced by J'aime Rothbard. How can we turn everyday moments of sadness, disappointment, anger and shame into gateways to awakening? And is there an easy way to dissolve the sense of separation that lies at the root of our suffering? Building on last week's episode, which featured an introductory practice from the Wholeness Work, we're delighted to share this dialogue with Connirae Andreas, who shares the story of how she created this unique healing modality. Matthew and Connirae explore the principles underpinning the Wholeness Work, the relationship between healing and awakening, and her unique approach to integrating individual, ancestral and collective trauma. Connirae explains that the Wholeness Work supports us to access a more fundamental aspect of the structure of our psyche than we might have previously been able to reach. This process can help us transform our relationship with challenging life issues, reset our nervous system, dissolve troubling emotions and establish a greater sense of inner ground. The dialogue covers topics including: How suffering arises from artificial separation in the psyche How a health crisis prompted deeper spiritual search Previous encounter with psychologist Dr Milton H. Erickson A months-long experience of deep peace Search for a systematic approach to spiritual awakening Development of the Wholeness Work Finding the "I" inside Moving beyond our "limited self structures" Turning daily challenges into gateways to awakening Building a global network of Wholeness Work practitioners We're excited to be building connectivity between the Pocket Project, whose work is inspired by the collective trauma integration practices of co-founder Thomas Hübl, and other pioneers in the global healing movement such as Connirae. We hope you find the introductory Wholeness Work practice featured on last week's episode a supportive resource. We're excited to share the story of how this work came into being in this latest episode of What Is Collective Healing?

She is best known for her groundbreaking work developing Core Transformation, through which our limitations become the doorway to a felt experience many describe "love", "peace", "presence", or "oneness." Through the steps of the process, this felt experience offers a profound healing, resolving many limiting emotions and behaviors. Her new Wholeness Work begins by offering a precise way to experience "dissolving the ego," a long-time spiritual goal, in a way that releases stress and resolves many life issues. This work utilizes a new mapping of the unconscious, to uncover the "universal structures of the unconscious that hold problems in place" – and offers specific formats to transform each of them. Connirae's work is strongly influenced by her personal experience with the late Dr. Milton H. Erickson.
