Writing about intense events from our past is a very effective way to 'pass them out' of our energy body. This is why DJ recommended Carlos publish his notes.
It's not just a matter of writing, but of sharing with the world.
I have recommended many here write their stories, but so far Lori is the only one who has done this in a book form, aside from me. Writing and sharing here in Soma is also effective, and is why I encourage members to 'tell their stories' in Soma. Even if that doesn't elicit great response, it is still very efficacious.
There is a strange heaviness that comes from hoarding intense memories. Soma's intent is for personal growth, and thus everything that happens in here comes under that umbrella. That is quite different to telling your stories to friends at coffee or at a party - such telling is about identity reification.
There is the danger that such reification is also brought about from telling in Soma, but on the whole, so long as the story telling has the purpose of dedicated depth, as opposed to superficial restating of old stagnant preferences, then the exorcising of energy bubbles in our being will ensue.
There are many members in Soma who don't have the courage to speak of their emotional life, just as there are many who don't know how to get in touch with their emotional life, and thus deny it is happening at all. For those who have dug and exposed their underbelly, it is quite obvious when someone is blocking the natural expression of their emotions. It comes out, but it comes out distorted and destructive, in ways that the person often attempts to project onto others.
It is far better to just fess up to these intense moments in life - spit it out till there is no need to spit it out.
Don't fall for the belief that your past traumas are too personal or private. Write it down and share it. But write it down thoroughly - including all the small details - go into it in full detail. No good just talking quickly or obscurely. Don't hang on to it like some precious secret that you feel you don't want to burden others with - that is a ruse. In fact we love to harbour our dirty little secrets, as it oddly makes us feel special.
Now that Juhani has put himself forward, I presume he is happy to be used as an example. Juhani has his own emotionally traumatic past, about which he has only spoken in a private folder. That is fair enough - everyone has a right to request their upsetting details be kept private. However that isn't sufficient if we are speaking of purging the subconscious energy bubbles.
Firstly it's not sufficient to speak in general terms - it has to be done in great detail, such that the past is brought back to life. It has to bring up the entire emotional life of that past event. It is best, as Lori has done, to pick off single events, and describe them in detail - try to mention all the little side matters, like the colours of things, or smells, or a person walking by etc.
Secondly, it has to be shared with a wide group - the request that things be kept secret is just another way of keeping them. To set them free we have to tell the world, without fear of being quoted outside a small select group.
So I have a recommendation to Juhani. That he start to write about his traumatic past events in this way. And to first test the waters by posting them here in Soma.
