When you have experienced rape or sexual assault, you carry that shock and trauma in the cells of your body. It’s particularly important to get that shock out of your system as soon as possible. If you do it immediately, the damage to you will be minimal. However, if you let it get infected, it can undermine your health, wellness, and relationships for years to come.

The road back to empowerment after an assault is a long one, but there are simple and powerful healing techniques you can use to make things easier. By putting yourself first and clearing the energy of the experience, you will take back control and take tangible steps to regain your well-being.

Emergency measures

First, you need to realize that the assault is over. Have survived. You’re sure. While you consciously know this, subconsciously you are probably still frozen at the time. So read these words several times:

“It’s over now, I’ve survived and I’m safe.”

So, you need to get a Bach flower rescue remedy. This wonderful natural remedy removes shock and trauma from your system before it can take hold and cause more damage. In this situation, you should take four drops of Rescue Remedy directly on the tongue every fifteen minutes initially, then four times a day. (Bach flower remedies are completely safe for everyone and are available at any health food store.)

Get grounded with Earth Healing

When we suffer an attack, the natural defense mechanism is to detach, not only from your feelings, but also from your body. We literally take our energy out of our bodies to get away from what is happening to us. Frequently, people who have suffered aggression are energetically out of their bodies for years and disconnected from life.

So tell yourself that since the assault is over, it’s safe to return to your body. If you can, go outside in your bare feet and spend several minutes walking on grass or dirt. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the ground. Feel your connection to the nurturing energy of Mother Earth. Feel how caring that energy is.

Take grounding crystals, like Jet, Red Jasper, and Haematite, and carry them with you. Another very important crystal that you should carry at this time is Carnelian. This wonderful stone cleanses the trauma of the abdominal region and brings healing.

orange color therapy

Orange is the color with incredible powers to release shock and trauma. Orange resonates with the abdomen and the reproductive system. The orange energy frequency is what transforms trauma into enlightenment; think of the saffron robes of the Buddhist monk. This is the color that will help you work through this trauma and allow you to grow from the experience rather than be destroyed by it.

At this time, it is essential to surround yourself with as much orange as possible; an orange blanket is ideal. As you wrap yourself in the color, consciously breathe the color into your lungs. Feel the orange penetrating your body. Imagine the color cleansing each of your cells. Feel how the energy of your attacker dissolves and moves away from you, leaving each cell crystal clear and absolutely clean. Feel transformed and renewed.

I know that the first days and weeks after an assault are terrible. However, these natural healing techniques are very effective and will definitely help you. They encourage you to focus on your own healing, and by freeing yourself from shock and trauma, they will help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible. Remember, you have survived and will regain your empowerment and self-esteem. This self-healing will provide a firm foundation for your future life and help you move forward as quickly as possible.
