Core Energy

The center of this map is our Core, or essence. This is who we are when we are born. Pure. At some point in early life, most people experience some level of trauma, either physical, emotional, psychological or sexual. When that trauma is suppressed, the lower self develops, where primitive negative reactions are experienced. But society teaches us to go underground with our genuine feelings. So we cover our lower self with a mask. The mask prevents us from communicating authentically. In Core Energetics, we learn to penetrate the mask and express the lower self which takes us to our core essence. It is in this place that we learn who we really are.
