‘Trauma can cause our parts to take on burdens. Yet, when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening’A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true selfWhen we focus only on our own trauma, we cannot see how other types of trauma – ancestral, cultural, social, and spiritual – contribute to our present pain and suffering. But when we step back to consider how different parts of our identities are connected, we have a much more complete and coherent picture of our pain. And with awareness comes healing.In this powerful collaboration, Richard Schwartz – creator of Internal Family Systems – and fellow trauma expert Thomas Hübl expand the map of healing. Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you. Using an integrative approach, the authors will not only help you understand the roots of your trauma, but offer you the practical tools to end the cycle of harm for good.

What can you do when you carry scars not on your body but within your soul? And what happens when those spiritual wounds exist not just in you but in everyone in your family, community, and even beyond?Spiritual teacher Thomas Hübl has spent years investigating why it is that old and seemingly disconnected traumas can seed their way through communities and across generations. His work culminates in Healing Collective Trauma, a new perspective on trauma that addresses both its visible effects and its most hidden roots. Thomas combines deep knowledge of mystical traditions with the latest scientific research. “In this way,” writes Thomas, “we are weaving a double helix between ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding.”Thomas details the Collective Trauma Integration Process, a group-based modality for evoking and eventually dissolving stuck traumatic energies. Providing structured practices for both students and group facilitators, Healing Collective Trauma is intended to build a practical tool kit for integration.This paperback edition of Healing Collective Trauma offers not just an advanced look at community trauma but also a hopeful glimpse of the future. As Thomas declares, “Together, I believe we can and must heal the ‘soul wound’ that marks us all. In so doing, we will awaken to the luminous possibility and profound potential of our true, mutual nature as humankind.”

This book is based on a compelling notion: that the spiritual principles and practices common to all human cultures are a toolbox for healing the way we relate to each other; that changing consciousness can indeed change the planet; and that we do it by transforming our ability to attune to, communicate with, and be present to each other. We do this through what the author calls the “relational field,” the subtle and yet significant connection with others that we can learn to impact through our attention and presence.The mystical principles and practices covered here are taught in all of Thomas Hübl's sought-after training programs. Now he offers them to anyone seeking an answer to the grief, conflict, and strife meeting us at every turn. These include the core Mystic Principles of stillness, movement, and awareness; the Art of Attunement; his signature work in Transparent Communication; as well as group and individual tools for trauma healing and collective integration, all backed up with the latest multigenerational, collective, and individual trauma research. Heady while still firmly grounded in the body, this book's heartfelt aim is to bring a unique and well-practiced approach to addressing collective and personal trauma to a world in need.

We are all interconnected and dependent on each other to shape the world in which we live. Yet even though technology has allowed us to digitally share our lives with more people than ever, the result has been a growing pattern of personal isolation, alienation, and division. Why is this? “We are seeing the manifestation of collective trauma,” says luminary Thomas Hübl. “The profoundly complex challenges we face demand a new level of human collaboration.”In Attuned, Hübl shares a visionary guide to healing our struggling world. Attuning to a person, group, or organisation means coming into resonance by listening mindfully to the inner sensations, feelings, images, and information that arise. At the core of the book is the “relational field”? A vast matrix of energy through which information is shared within, around, and between us. In each chapter, you'll find insights and practices for perceiving and tuning in to oneself and others and ultimately contributing to the healing of this field.By embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond to and evolve through the challenges of our age. “It may take only a small number of us,” explains Hübl, “to establish a new level of collective coherence? To share our light, heal our wounds, and realise the unawakened potential of our world.”

What can you do when you carry scars not on your body, but within your soul? And what happens when those spiritual wounds exist not just in you, but in everyone in your life?Whether or not we have experienced personal trauma, we are all - in very real ways - impacted by the legacy of familial and cultural suffering. Recent research has shown that trauma affects groups just as acutely as it does individuals; it bridges families, generations, communities, and borders. “I believe that unresolved systemic traumas delay the development of the human family, harm the natural world, and inhibit the higher evolution of our species,” writes Thomas Hübl. However, just as trauma can be integrated and healed for a single person, groups large and small can also find recovery. With Healing Collective Trauma, this world-renowned spiritual teacher presents a hopeful road map to mending the mind, body, and soul.Here, Hübl explains the most recent science of trauma and shares the principles of his Collective Trauma Integration Process (CTIP), a protocol he has facilitated for groups in the US, Germany, Israel, and elsewhere. He examines collective trauma both from the perspective of the latest research and through a spiritual lens informed by 15 years as a meditation teacher. Including contributions from renowned experts from across the field of trauma treatment, as well as meditative practices to support both counselors and clients, Healing Collective Trauma presents a fresh perspective on trauma integration along with practical tools for beginning the journey to wholeness.
