Transcend Trauma- Transformation and Restoration

Restoring Soils and Souls
Predators are prevalent in our “take and go” world. This article describes the harms, trials and errors of our society, and some of my personal experiences.
My path to find “security, safety, peace and my place in the world” began with resistance. Skepticism for traditional societal “cures” led me towards a journey on the road less traveled. Fortunately, I experienced a series of events which led me to a new path early in life, which would change the course of my life entirely. To obtain a life in alignment with feelings of well-being meant a lot of inner reflection along the way.
Parasites, Predators, and Perpetrators
People who have suffered from abuse rarely find justice in holding others accountable. Dealing with the legalities complicates and delays release from fears and conflicts while fighting something, someone, some issue outside of yourself. The journey to heal is intimate, with secrecy and shame, for starters. It can take years to sort through all of the emotions, while conflicts increase entangled emotions of confusion and helplessness. Overwhelm, feeling trapped and doubtful of ever being free, happy or healthy leads to choices causing yet even more problems, pain and punishment.
Those who choose to stop creating pain and suffering for humans, nonhumans and nature live with Unity Consciousness, which is a Higher Will.
Through my own journey of pain and conflict, I went deep, felt intensely, stayed with grief to hear the messages for my growth until I was released from its grip, and learned how to regenerate new life within me. Many times we are told in some way to “forget about it, sweep it under the rug, buck up and shake it off”, yet this may lead to misguided actions from repressing trauma. I walked the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform pain, grief, anger and shame and made them resources of good, strength and compassion. The process of alchemy that transforms pain and suffering to kindness and wisdom, is to re-story grief and restore its gifts.
Restoring Soils and Souls is habitat restoration of mind-body-spirit-and-nature.
Restoring Soils and Souls is a project with a mission to work with those who are in pain and conflict, by teaching simplicity and truth while restoring nature. When we heal land, we heal people. Healing people heals the land.
This project works with individuals, landowners, organizations, associations, businesses, education, neighborhoods, communities, to demonstrate and replicate kindness, strength, joy, good, truth, and beauty. Telling the stories of people who are restoring nature, non-humans and others, inspiring people to heal themselves, is part of the regeneration of families, communities and systems.
For healthy habitats, we need a new journey, a new dream and go where nature needs us. Our grief transforms into gifts of restoration. Wildlands shares stories and envisions individuals, towns and nations of regeneration that grow from purpose and reciprocity.
Restoring Soils and Souls gives generously to others and grows a compassionate community. It’s time to give the good, beautiful truth: we can transform trauma, celebrate our awakening, and our new beginnings, and regenerate ourselves. We can repair ourselves and use what we learn to reciprocate with others. It doesn’t have to take years and is repeatable to restore, heal and maintain well-being, goodness and prosperity.
Restoring Soils and Souls gives purpose; it teaches how to be our gift to do good for life.
Generosity transforms the pain, depression, and illnesses of the mind-body-spirit that connects our souls to the soils. When soils are depleted, so are our souls- and vice versa. As Above, So Below. It is a very simple yet complex because of the many entanglements that arise from so many harms throughout our lives, our communities, and our generations of stories. Repeating patterns, habits and messages have led to continued harms. Restoration through inner work to untangle the conflicts within our self is fertile soil for the growth of our soul. Our gift is our expression of our appearance, our Divine occupation in the world.
Each living body is a “Divine Appearance”, for our biological finite experience.
Each being (Divine Appearance) is a sole (Soul) expression of their gift of service (“soulution”). Together, we create a Divine Voice as One.
Let’s sing our dream of a better world and envision a world where each person and species are valued for their purpose, their “Divine occupation”.
Anima of Animals, Nature and Humans
When the Anima is out of balance, there is animosity. Mother Earth cares about all of her children- the swimming, crawling, flying, walking, slithering ones, as well as the forests, waters, air and soil. Non-humans and nature have supported humans for millennia. Innocence needs shelter. Humans have great potential for restoration, and the innocent ones are counting on and “rooting” for us. Mother Earth is asking humans to restore balance or she will shake off the parasites, predators and perpetrators.
Each being (Divine Appearance) is a sole (Soul) expression of their gift of service.
What difference can you make in your life, loved ones, community and Earth? What will empower you to be a steward for life? What animal speaks to your spirit? Are you ready to spread your wings and serve Mother Earth?
Reciprocity is the recipe to transcend trauma, for transformation and restoration. Your peace is a piece of the re-new re-world re-order.
Our purpose is our service, and is our gift. What is your gift, your soul expression?
Your evolution is your “soulution”. Do your piece to celebrate your peace generously with others: human, nonhuman and nature!
Are you ready to be a rebel in your rough times?
I will be sharing stories of how I rebelled in rough times and came through it a better being with a mission to help humans, non-humans and nature. Ruff Rebel and Atman and Robin work goes deep into Restoring Soils and Souls and showcases personal stories of land and building restoration projects, healing wounds and harms, advocating for the wild, and the challenges of bringing a restoration vision to life for perpetuity, and letting go- love, fear, anger, possessions, people, non-humans, nature- everything; and being at peace.
Ruff Rebel will include intimate stories of transcending trauma and restoring Self-Love, which is Self-Reliance. Deeply rooted Truths will be revealed in Ruff Rebel with a reflection on Something Greater Than Ourselves, with Atman and Robin. Due to the intimate nature of the stories, Ruff Rebel and Atman and Robin, are for paid subscribers only.
Restoring Soils and Souls stories reveal how small actions have dramatic impact, how individual efforts drive community-wide results, and how local “solutions” (soulutions) can add up to global revolutions. Restoring Soils and Souls covers ground around multiple locales to spotlight the change makers who are restoring themselves and the natural world.
The people and stories in Restoring Soils and Souls reveal how biodiversity begins in our own backyards. Together, we’re creating change- forging unexpected alliances, making bold interventions, and relying on local expertise to redeem, reciprocate and restore.
Where there is harm, there is a call for compassion. People, non-humans and nature have been the prey of deep trauma. Unresolved inner conflicts that invade mind-body-spirit-nature can cause actions that imposes will upon others. Invasion, force, and intimidation are ego actions that can make one a predator and continue a cycle of pain.
Resolving inner conflicts, redeeming one’s harmful behaviors and knowing oneself means taking responsibility for ourselves. The devastation of our soils had led to chronic health and mental health crises- and our souls have suffered. When we tend to nature, our greatest teacher, we restore ourselves. We can restore ourselves from hopeless horrors to heroes and untangle the harms and regenerate with Love. When we each transform, restore, and reciprocate with our personal gift (our talent, our passion, our “calling”), our lives, communities, nature and the world benefit.
Our mind and our body are in constant communication with each other which effects our thoughts, emotions and physical health. When trauma occurs, the body’s natural defense mechanism alters the communication between mind and body.
As a result, we may experience pain, stress, anxiety, inflammation, high blood pressure and other health issues. All are consequences of unresolved trauma.
What you do to others, you do to yourself. You pay a higher price for doing harm than when others do harm to you. When we harm, our destructive behavior returns to us for redemption.
People are ready to liberate the way the world thinks about faith, ethics and our relationship with nature and non-humans for good.
Change
Change is not strange
When love is your exchange.
Gratitude expands compassion’s range.
Change, an Original Poem, by Robin MotzerRuff Rebel, Atman and Robin, and Restoring Soils and Souls on Wildlands compose the art of natural nurturing, a liberating “wholistic” approach for mind-body-spirit-nature with the goal to help people Be Authentic, Grateful, Blissful, and Be a Blessing to the world.
Oneness and Reverence for ALL Life is Purity and we have the ability to assist others with Love.
The healing power of Mother Earth is tree-mendous! Remember the transformation when the world "shut down" and people stayed home in 2020?! Nature, humans and non-humans can be restored...this is habitat restoration.
Declaration of Interdependence:
Each being has a purpose and a job to do. We each have the gifts of regeneration and reciprocity within us! We are interdependent, are blessed to help others, and are rewarded by Something Greater Than Ourselves when we do good for life. Healing the land, heals people. Healing people heals the land. We can heal ancestral, Indigenous and individual traumas together.
Our purpose is to assist the Life on Mother Earth. We are to accomplish this in our own unique ways.
We are here on our beautiful Earth to stop harms and doing so is a life well lived. Each one of us contains the gift of redeeming ourselves with reciprocity- sharing our natural gifts with others, which transmutes harms of self and others. It’s time to restore our connection with all beings in nature and ourselves. Giving to others, whether it be human, non-human or nature, helps us grow, forgive ourselves, and others. It is also restorative.
May we be grateful for soils and souls, and may soils and souls be grateful for us.
Choice
Voice is a choice:
Bully, harass or rejoice.
Voice is a projection,
Of your intervention.
To Free or to force,
Live with Joy or remorse?
Will your reflection,
Be Divine Voice in Action?
It is your choice, of course.
Choice, An Original Poem by Robin MotzerMay you face your pain and your fears, be transformed by them and be a blessing to the world.
As a writer-poet-designer (aka, artist), the word illustrate means “to provide with visual features intended to explain or decorate”; “to make clear by giving or by serving as an example or instance”; “to demonstrate, clarify, enlighten, adorn”. Every molecule within me loves art and nature, whether it be a flora, fauna or human. A passion for conservation, health, joy and freedom in my life, calls me to give to the biota. Wildlands Ruff Rebel, Atman and Robin and Restoring Soils and Souls illustrates my love for beauty, truth, good, nature and art.
