Contemplative fieldnotes: After talking w/ @spacecrone about trauma, it occurred to me that I neglected to consider which meditation teachers offer techniques & framings conducive to resolving trauma without presenting/selling it as the main focus of the practice.

Trauma is obviously an important area, but it’s also a hot topic to seek things off. ‘Resolve your trauma today! For the low low price of $300’. Mature practitioners seem to all have dealt with this at some point - they might just not make such a big deal of it, it’s integral.

I’m reminded of something Culadasa said about trauma, that he himself found initial awakening painless enough but second path was very difficult due to the purification of psycho-physical trauma and so on. This makes sense, but contrasts to the standard trauma work sales pitch.

Do any of the more experienced twitter practitioners have any advice on this, or resources to recommend on the issue of trauma/purification - even if it is alluded to indirectly? cc: @OortCloudAtlas @danielmingram @VincentHorn @KennethFolk @iwelsh @leashless @chagmed @jesus
