by Steve Fogelman

Discover a powerful philosophy of emotional healing and inner transformation that can lead to a more carefree lifetime of inner peace and gratitude.

About Your Trauma Healing Journey

Winner of a 2026 International Impact Book Award, Your Trauma Healing Journey explores the innovative principles founder and author Steve Fogelman compiled for Lifeprint Reiki to reframe and heal the emotional pains of life.

That which worked for Steve is best presented to help you release the challenging behaviors of the survival personality that you've been unconsciously living all your life. It is the only path to finally reconnect with your authentic self and live with greater peace, confidence, and emotional freedom.

Why buy this book to learn how to reconnect to self-love? Those who embrace self-love experience greater emotional well-being, stronger relationships, and a heightened sense of purpose.

Think of this book as the first human user's manual.

Most disconnections from self-love trace back to childhood:

  • Not having our emotions validated
  • Feeling shame
  • Being bullied
  • Feeling abandoned
  • Enduring abuse and neglect

Who This Book Can Help

From reading this book, you'll learn that everyone's spiritual needs are as unique as their fingerprint — and how to create your own path, your own Lifeprint.

The Black Sheep

You're the victim of narcissistic abuse, left with no clue how to create a healthier emotional environment. Family gatherings feel like a nightmare and breaking free seems impossible.

The Lost Soul

Your talents aren't acknowledged or appreciated. You feel like a ship adrift at sea — still searching for your purpose and what makes life meaningful.

The Chronically Single

A deeper independent divine connection is needed to clear the blockages preventing you from understanding why a life partner remains out of reach.

The Deconstructing

Thousands are waking up to religious trauma received in childhood. The toxic dogma of sin, worship, and fear created wounds that are ready to heal.

The Weight of Religious Trauma

You probably don't even realize you suffer religious trauma, but that's why thousands are deconstructing from the religious brainwashing received as children.

“The only one who can truly 'save' you, is you.”

  • The concept of 'sin' is entirely manmade as a means of controlling the masses by creating guilt and shame.
  • 'Worship' is rooted in fear — an imaginary hierarchy separating us from the divine.
  • Feeling your god doesn't love you as you are.
  • Believing you'll spend eternity in an imaginary hell.
  • Fearing the most powerful spiritual practices that would render religion obsolete.

What You'll Learn

Gaining Self-Awareness

The key to personal and spiritual growth is to understand the root of our behaviors and to fully accept ourselves as we are without judgment.

The Four Types of Trauma

Trauma is not just surviving war, famine or abuse. Seemingly benign behaviors cause us trauma. And a lot of the trauma we experience comes from our ancestors, transferred down through DNA.

The 11 Insights to Happiness

Simply becoming aware of them on your path to mastery will cause a great shift in your mindset.

Why Lifeprint Reiki Now

A new understanding of human spirituality is needed as the incoming energy of the Age of Aquarius no longer supports religions created in the Ages of Aries and Pisces.

All About Reiki

Every human is inherently wired for energy healing. When something hurts, why do you automatically put your hands on that area?

The Lifeprint Reiki Difference

There are various forms of Reiki that support healing, but Lifeprint Reiki is the only one that focuses on trauma as the source of all physical and emotional illnesses. Additionally, there's a new symbol discovered and used exclusively by Lifeprint Reiki.

Living Lifeprint Reiki

Lifeprint Reiki is conceived as a lifestyle connected to the rhythms of nature and a means of expressing one's authentic self.

Creating a Compassionate Society

By understanding your own traumas you realize everyone suffers just as you, which in turn heightens your compassion and empathy.

Many Exercises Included to:

  • Cultivate self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion
  • Become more resilient, confident, and empowered in relationships
  • Live a life with less anxiety and fewer toxic influences and triggered responses

The 11 Insights to Happiness

These 11 powerful principles are universal human truths to guide you to emotional freedom and personal empowerment.

  1. Embrace Curiosity

    Humans are an intrinsically curious and creative species, but disconnection from self-love can cause us to fear creating, learning and exploring.

  2. Surrender to Relieve Suffering

    Most human suffering comes from trying to control what can't be controlled. Surrendering is a radical act of self-love, but is challenging to those who find it difficult to trust.

  3. Release Attachments & Expectations

    Attachments are only required to create families. Everything else is optional. Expectations are attachments to desired outcomes. None of this is within our control, and when not met we suffer.

  4. Break Free from the Illusion of Polarity

    Nothing is inherently 'good' or 'bad.' Everything is what it is. It's only our ego that makes that decision.

  5. Forgiveness to Free Yourself

    Forgiving others is not about condoning mistreatment or even keeping people in our lives. It's merely about releasing the guilt and shame caused by the negligent behavior.

  6. Understand the Despair of Comparison

    When we don't appreciate our uniqueness as our superpower, we wrongly believe the achievements of others are better than our experience.

  7. Set Healthy Boundaries

    Without self-love, we unconsciously allow people to walk all over us, which further disconnects us.

  8. Understand the Power of Loss

    Loss is painful, but it's the universe's way of creating opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.

  9. Develop Internal Validation

    We unconsciously seek external validation, but that is beyond our control and when not achieved causes suffering. Developing internal validation makes us invincible.

  10. Connect with Your Ancestors

    Religious trauma and the fear of death prevents us from connecting to our most powerful asset — our ancestors.

  11. Embrace Nothingness

    This is an advanced notion to understand that we are not our nationality nor our past and many other notions we wrongly believe to be us. Releasing all we are NOT frees the soul.

A New Reiki Symbol

Shin Zo Ho Go — Lifeprint Reiki Symbol
Shin Zo Ho Go
Heart Protection

In the chapter on Reiki, you'll learn about its principles and the symbols used to strengthen the Universal Life Force Energy to heal yourself and your family.

Steve accidentally discovered a new symbol he adds to the common ones, and called it Shin Zo Ho Go — Japanese for "heart protection." Steve discovered it protects the heart center as it facilitates heart healing.

When you feel you can no longer tolerate the despair of your everyday life, and would prefer a life with a more profound independent spiritual connection, gratitude and less anxiety, Your Trauma Healing Journey offers simple steps towards achieving that goal.
