How a bee showed me To Locate And release trauma

Stored trauma sits somewhere in your body. While riding in my car, I noticed a bee right next to me, riding with me. She just sat there. As I arrived at home, I opened the door and thought she'd fly out. She did, landing straight next to my car where my foot was about to land.

As I saw the bee, she began doing some weird movements: rocking back and forth, lifting her front leg while rocking. Then the other front leg, still rocking back and forth. I watched. Observed. It went on for about 5 minutes—the same movement.

My gaze was fixed on the bee. She was completely undisturbed, like telling me to look. And look. And look closer. I intuitively connected with her. Then something in me came to the surface—a childhood experience—stored so deeply, I could suddenly feel the area of pain where the pain and the trauma were stored.

As I was watching the bee rocking back and forth, lifting her legs—it hit me. She was showing me a way to release those energies and heal the trauma.

As soon as I went into my home, I got to the floor and copied that exact behaviour: rocking back and forth, lifting the front arm while rocking on my other three limbs, turning slightly sideways and feeling how energies moved. It felt silly. But the longer I did it, the more I went with the natural rhythm. Then I changed sides, lifted the other arm while rocking on three limbs. Back and forth.

Each movement went deeper and deeper. I could feel stored pain go with every rock. I could feel how I felt more comfortable in opening the area that was so deep. I could feel my root chakra beginning to breath, turn, move. I could feel how deep pain and memory were stored there. Getting more confident with every rock, I relaxed into the movement. It was healing. I continued practicing this movement every day for a bout a week. Day by day feeling how my body got closer with the natural rhythm. Feeling how it opened more, each day and with each movement. Until … the trauma had all come to the surface and I learned to integrate the parts that were numb for so long and split off from the life force moving through me.

Understanding the purpose of insects in a an ecosystem sense is great. Understanding how to work with insects on yourself - groundbreaking

The bee was washboarding—a process where bees plant their two front legs to make a rhythmic scrubbing motion, like they're cleaning or polishing the surface beneath them. It’s an activity they often do on the outside surface of a hive or on the landing board. In my case, she showed me how to clean or polish an area of myself that was congested. She showed me how that movement could help me. And I understood the message.

That's why, when you learn to work with nature and see how every message pertains to you, it's groundbreaking work.
