There is a sacred intelligence woven into your being.
Not just in your mind or spirit—but in your body, your breath, your very cells. Long before you had words for it, your body knew how to endure. It carried your pain, your fear, your story. And now, it may be whispering something different: a longing not just to survive—but to heal.
Many people begin their trauma healing journey through therapy or clinical support, which can be life changing. But often, something deeper still aches beneath the surface—something spiritual. A longing to feel held, to feel connected, to remember that you are part of something sacred that doesn’t demand perfection to offer love.
For those of us raised in Christian spaces—or shaped by them—this healing can feel complex. Maybe your faith offered comfort, or maybe it left you with wounds of its own. Perhaps you’re now seeking a spirituality that feels more intuitive, more embodied, more inclusive. One that honours where you’ve come from but also welcomes where your soul is being called next.
This is where a more expansive, dynamic faith becomes not only possible—but vital. A faith that draws from ancient wisdom across traditions. A faith that evolves. A faith that listens to the body. A faith that makes space for the Divine Feminine.
In her groundbreaking work Anatomy of the Spirit, medical intuitive Caroline Myss proposed a bold and beautiful idea: that the seven chakras from Eastern traditions align with the seven sacraments of the church for healing. While these systems come from different cultural lineages, they offer surprisingly mirrored insights into the human experience—especially when it comes to healing trauma.
What if, instead of seeing these frameworks as contradictory, we saw them as complementary? And what if we saw them applied to trauma healing not just physical healing?
What if your healing doesn’t require choosing one path over another, but letting them converge into something deeply personal and sacred?
This isn’t about abandoning what you believe. It’s about deepening it. About giving yourself permission to explore new symbols, new rituals, and new ways of knowing God—especially through the body, through energy, and through the Divine Feminine.
Contemporary trauma studies, from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Gabor Maté to polyvagal theory, remind us that trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what lingers. Trauma fragments us. It disrupts our connection to safety, to trust, to intuition. And often, to the Divine.
But in many sacred traditions, trauma is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a sacred return.
By pairing chakras and sacraments, we begin to see that healing is not just mental—it’s emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual. And walking this healing path with the Divine Feminine—as guide, midwife, witness, and mother—restores the soul’s sense of wholeness in a way that feels deeply anchored and alive.
She does not ask you to abandon your tradition.
She invites you to explore it more fully.
She is the whisper beneath your theology, the breath within your prayer.
She is Love, not bound by doctrine, but expressed through many names.
When we begin to see healing as more than fixing what’s broken—and instead as remembering what was always whole—we open ourselves to a deeper kind of restoration. Both the chakra system and the sacraments offer this kind of sacred map: one through energy, the other through ritual.
While one comes from Eastern traditions and the other from Christian theology, their shared language of initiation, connection, empowerment, and divine presence invites us to bridge what once felt separate.
And when we bring these together through the loving presence of the Divine Feminine, the path becomes not just holistic, but holy.
The Rose Blessings Trauma and the Divine Feminine: A Sacred Guide to Healing article discussed Trauma more deeply.
The Right to Be Here
Baptism is the sacrament of spiritual initiation. The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, represents safety, belonging, and primal trust.
When early childhood trauma—especially neglect or abandonment—occurs, this foundational energy is disrupted. We may feel unsafe in our own bodies. We may struggle to trust others or believe we belong.
The Divine Mother says:
You are not too much. You are not invisible. You are mine.
The Right to Feel and Connect
This chakra governs pleasure, emotion, and connection. The Eucharist represents sacred union—taking divinity into the body. But for trauma survivors, especially those with sexual trauma or emotional repression, the body may not feel like a sacred vessel.
Healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel again—not all at once, but gently.
She whispers:
You are allowed to feel joy. Let sweetness find you again.
The Right to Choose and Act
The solar plexus is your seat of personal power. Confirmation is the sacrament of spiritual autonomy—of choosing your path.
For those who have experienced controlling relationships or gaslighting, this chakra can be diminished. You may doubt your intuition or fear taking up space.
The Divine Feminine reminds you:
Your choices are holy. I trust your knowing, even before you do.
The Right to Love and Be Loved
Marriage, in its sacramental sense, reflects sacred union—not only with another but with the Divine. The heart chakra governs love, trust, and compassion.
Trauma often builds walls around the heart. We may offer care but feel unworthy to receive it. The wound of unworthiness here is common—and healing it is sacred work.
She gently affirms:
You are lovable. Your tenderness is strength.
The Right to Speak
The throat chakra holds your voice. Confession is about naming, releasing, and being met with mercy.
This is often one of the most wounded areas in survivors of trauma—especially for women taught to be silent, accommodating, or agreeable. Many hold their pain in their throat, unable to speak what truly happened.
The Divine Mother invites:
Tell me everything. I can hold it all. Nothing you say will make me turn away.
The Right to See and Know
This energy center is where intuition, inner vision, and spiritual discernment reside. The sacrament of Anointing is a healing for body and soul.
Trauma can cloud our perception of reality—of others, of ourselves, and of the Divine. We begin to question whether our intuition can be trusted.
She assures:
You are not broken. You are awakening. Let me clear your sight.
The Right to Connect with the Divine
The crown chakra is our connection to the sacred—unfiltered, unmediated, beyond language. Holy Orders represent a life consecrated to spiritual service.
This connection is often deeply ruptured by religious trauma or spiritual abuse. When institutions wound us, we may project that betrayal onto God. Healing here requires a new vision of the Divine.
She affirms:
I am not the voice that shamed you. I am the Love that has never left.
The Divine Feminine does not rush your healing. She does not offer pat answers or tidy formulas. She meets you where you are—with presence, patience, and compassion.
In a world that praises grit and independence, She offers something radical: a love that does not demand you be healed to be held.
Whether you call Her Sophia, Spirit, Mary, or simply “Mother,” She is the sacred presence that stays. She knows that trauma recovery is not a straight line—it’s a spiral of returning. Returning to your body. Returning to your breath. Returning to the truth that you are never alone.
This is what it means to heal holistically: to let your spiritual life include your body, your emotions, your energy, and your lived experience. Not to bypass the pain, but to walk with it—curiously, gently, and with reverence.
When you light a candle, place your hand on your heart, or write a letter to the Divine, you’re not just praying. You’re regulating your nervous system. You’re honouring your trauma. You’re inviting Spirit to meet you exactly where you are.
Let your rituals be small but sacred.
Let your faith be expansive, not afraid to evolve.
Let your healing be yours—not rushed, not performative, but deeply true.
Because you are already on the way home. And She walks with you, every step.
With love and grace,
Rose Blessings
