Tree Wiseblood: Trauma Healing, Kundalini, and Embodied Awakening

Summary: Tree explores how trauma stored in the body and nervous system can block genuine awakening. The conversation also looks at Kundalini, conscious parenting, Meher Baba’s planes of consciousness, and why embodiment matters more than spiritual ideas.

Questions This Interview Explores

• How can unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation interfere with spiritual awakening?
• What practical approaches can help release stored trauma from the body and tissues?
• How do Kundalini experiences change when the system has already been cleared through body-based work?
• How can seekers tell the difference between real realization and early-stage spiritual insight?
• What does embodied spirituality look like in parenting, meditation, and everyday life?

Tree works as a Spiritual Mentor, Kundalini Support, Certified Global TRE® Instructor, Transformational Bodyworker and a Healer from the Shamanic tradition.

Tree believes healing trauma can precipitate spiritual awakening and it is from this precept she works. She works with the body releasing contraction and with the nervous system establishing balance – with the understanding that a disregulated nervous system can hold the beingness hostage.

She believes enlightenment is achieved not by bypassing the body, but by going into the body. By addressing and releasing trauma bound in the flesh and stored in the nervous system. This is true freedom and the result is presence – embodied.

Tree has been a devotee of Meher Baba since she was 21.

She and her husband are establishing a Retreat Centre on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia called Meher Farm Healing and Awakening Centre.

Tree is the author of Hot Flush Dark Cave describing her healing and awakening journey through the portal of menopause.

She is a devoted mother, grandmother and healer – her favourite past time is swimming in the river and the ocean and chanting to God.
