Paranormal Investigating Yourself: Investigating Your Trauma

In my exploration of paranormal emotions, I have found that the most successful experiment has been when I have investigated my own trauma.

You’re either thinking, “Why the hell would I do that!?” Or “That’s what therapy is for you.” And I hear you. Both objection to this, and professional management of it, is valid. And honestly, I highly suggest therapy for anyone. Especially one looking to dive into the depths of your soul by way of ghost hunting. But I digress.

After experiencing a traumatic event I found myself exploring the idea of soul fragments - in layman’s terms, the potential for a part of my soul to have been fractured off at the site of the trauma. I played around with the concept of my soul being separate from myself, even if only a part of it, and thought about how similar that was to a ghost. Could I now be a ghost, I thought. If so, then going to this spot to “retrieve” my soul or going to the spot to “communicate” with it, could be possible . However, it was overly apparent that going to this spot was a bad idea, since it was privy to gang and gun violence. So then, what if I were to go there…inn my head.

It started with participating in experiments over Zoom with a fellow investigating friend, Cherise Williams. We asked each other questions. First, asking one another about ourselves, and then later asking one another’s subconscious about themselves. All while in the Estes method.

Later, I began experimenting with this same thing but alone. I would use the spirit box and sensory isolation to send me into a trance and automatic draw and write to get out the answer I received in trance on paper. Doing so often took me on a visual journey of the subconscious. Thus was born the El Method, of which you can read about in previous blogs.

The answers have been beyond compelling - complete and intelligent responses to questions we did not tell the other we would ask. Not only that, but there were also answers that were incredibly deep. Sometimes telling us things about ourselves we had not thought of before. Ways that I could heal, visuals of my fractured soul at the spot of my traumas. Insecurities I had that I had not realized were holding me back.

These experiments and the investigation of my trauma is still ongoing. But I realize now that there is something very paranormal afoot here. An opportunity to tap into ourselves in a way that blends all elements of the supernatural together. And heals ourselves and potentially those around us at the same time. And so I shall continue to do it, again and again.
