Episode 12: Healing the Root: Trauma, Spiritual Awakening, and Finding Wholeness — with Laura Ellen

Guest Laura Ellen — Artist, Jeweler, Spiritual Teacher, and Founder of Sacred Heart Healing in Northern CaliforniaEpisode SummarySome healing journeys take us all the way to the bottom before they bring us home to ourselves.In this episode, Laurel sits down with Laura Ellen for an intentional, depth-oriented conversation about trauma healing, the body's wisdom, and what it means to come back to yourself after years of soul fragmentation.Laura shares her healing journey from childhood sensitivity and unspoken trauma into the numbing patterns that followed her into adulthood — and the chronic, hidden wound at the base of her spine that became an invitation to listen. She opens up about living with a fistula connected to her root chakra, and how curiosity, faith, and a willingness to feel her emotions slowly guided her back toward wholeness.Together, they explore root chakra healing, Angelic Reiki, Access Consciousness Bars, soul contracts, past lives, mediumship and dream visitations, nervous system regulation, and the quiet, embodied work of reconnecting with yourself — and with the Earth that holds us.This episode also marks a deeply personal moment for Laurel — speaking openly about her own grief and her ability to communicate with the deceased.What We Explore in This EpisodeThe body as a messenger of truthRoot chakra healing and trauma recoveryAngelic Reiki and energetic clearingPast lives, soul contracts, and exit pointsMediumship and dream visitationsMeeting your younger self with loveReconnecting with yourself through the bodyCollective awakening and creating heaven on earthKey Quotes"You have everything you need inside of you to heal.""We don't heal hiding under a rock. We heal when we reach out and share."Why This Episode MattersSo many of us were taught to override the body. To push through. To numb. To keep going.But the body keeps a careful record. And sometimes, the only way back is the slow, vulnerable work of listening to what it has been trying to say.This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't about fixing yourself — it's about coming back to yourself. Layer by layer. Breath by breath. With faith, with community, and with the quiet trust that you were never broken to begin with.A Note on ContentThis episode touches gently on sexual trauma, chronic illness, and grief.
