This young lady had a message that is absolutely necessary for us all. She has definitely done some extensive inner work on the self. What we seek is on the inside.
This is the best Ted, TedeX talk I've ever watched. Even her Shadow Work/Meditation idea of the picture & the daises is a great idea. I'm going to try that. I want to look her up, too. I'm curious if she's written a book or had any other talks.
This has got to be the most moving, engaging, and enlightening TED talk I've ever listened to. Why does this video have only 18K views? And...Am I the only one who thinks she looks and sounds like, is equally insightful and articulate, and has the same last name as comedian Eddie Griffin?
Arguable the most impactful 18mins and 45seconds I’ve spent on RUclips ever🙌🏾. Thank you for your vulnerability and the skill to reach your audience not only with words, yet with feeling✊🏾
"A highly politicized society. A society that needs everything to be immediately categorized. If it's good or bad, right or wrong. What does that do for us? It helps us get around having to emotionally process anything because it desensitizes the way we feel and prioritizes the way that we think."
This Ted talk changed my life! She is so beautiful and powerful. I would hold her and hug her forever. What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL SOUL. A light worker for sure! Her light is so so bright. I want to see more of her! Somebody give her a book deal. This woman is AMAZING! FR. I had to stop what I was doing and PAY ATTENTION. Her tone demands it in a soft way. I have never seen anything like it. Let's get her a book deal. Valisa, they missed out on time with ur beautiful soul. There loss! I know. I get it. I definitely suffer from what I call my mommy never loved me syndrome. Made me a people pleaser with NO boundaries. I will not forget this talk. EVER! LIGHT & LOVE!
This is so powerful. When she explained most people don’t want to be healed, they want to be un traumatized, I absolutely lost it. Unlocked something I’ve been trying to access. I think this idea will help me move forward
I love everything about this discussion. Valisa you are a true teacher. Thank you for being you and showing people how to not become untraumatized but to do the work to become healed.
That was the best 18 min and 44 seconds I have ever spent. I have been researching shadow work and I am fully convinced I need it! Thank you so much for sharing!
The shadow work video I needed to help me to finally understand shadow work. I shared it with my girls and told them to watch alone so they can cry freely.
I have listened to many Ted Talks and this is by far one of the most powerful, insightful talks I've heard. Though somewhat understated, it certainly opens up the door to the exploration of this "unconventional" modality of inner healing work. Unfortunately, our western societies have not embraced anything that appears to be outside of our faith based teachings and norms, making it difficult for those who can benefit from this work to actually receive it. It's time we stop demonizing every practice we don't understand and start the conversation on how we can best serve our communities to promote healing from trauma regardless of it's cause. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your lesson. My last name is Griffin from my father and he never met his older sister, but you look just like us and we're from Jacksonville FL. Again thank you.
this touched me so deeply. the honesty, the vulnerability, the truth. may we breathe together more, may we open ourselves up to the truth and collectively hold more space for healing.
I am new in my shadow work journey and I am so thankful to have stumbled across your video! Thank you for helping me to understand what shadow work actually is. I hope you continue to educate on this topic. You’re wonderful!!
Valisa, I hear you and I see you beautiful sister. Please know I felt seen by the telling of your story AND our ancestral trauma history. May the Most High continue to operate through you and bless you as well all those that extend from you. Peace & Love.
Empress, you nailed this talk! I needed these reminders. I have gratitude for your spirit allowing you to be "awkward". it was authentic. Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom.
Brilliant! I am speechless. I have to watch it a second time just to process everything🙌🏿 I need to get started on my shadow work for sure💯 The speaker was amazing!🤗
Omg 30 yrs so much Insight I was not expecting it but I serious think this video changed my whole outlook basically my life thank you for these insights into how the smallest things can affect us soo much in a detrimental way and unconsciously as well, knowing that the shadow can rebel and control our life sabotage our conscious wishes I didnt realize really how deep we are all traumatized thank you "for ruining my day" jk (referring to the joke ) thank you for changing the way I think
Beautiful Goddess you're soooo loveable. Your voice and your energy is important. You are more than enough and I'm grateful for you sharing your journey. Keep shining... love, light & life to you always ✨️ ❤️
Wow, You are definitely meant to do this work! This is so powerful and illuminating... I wish I could find more of you. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself it really impacted me, at just the right time.❤
Powerful, to the point, and full of nuggets. This alignment with this video for me is proof of a conversation i had last night, as well as 20 minutes or so ago with my brothers. The gratitude is real. I like all of it i like setting up for success and reviewing shadow with clarity n confidence is on brand for my experience. Thank you... the gratitude is real.
This is the most intellectual talk I’ve EVER listened to! Thank you Valisa for being beyond amazing! You are truly on a vibration I aspire to achieve! I don’t plan on being on this planet much longer but for the lil bit of time I plan on fighting and staying, I’ll definitely incorporate your talk and lessons in my perspective in building a better world for everyone! 🥰❤️
I struggled with finding a picture of me to feeling compassion. I was gifted a grandchild. I used their picture and my compassion for them to build a bridge.
It's beyond teaching the truth. It's morning The reality of what we have done to deny acceptance. Compassion and what freedom we can have in the human experience. Your description of the state of division where we mentalize in order not to deal with our emotions is spot on. Thank you.
A brilliant talk that was delivered with power, intelligence and sensitivity. Well done on your journey to be untraumatised. Thank you for sharing your experience
Those first 8 minutes… I felt as if you were staring at a mirror and talking to me directly . It’s been 28 years and not once from those 3 baby pictures that I have ,noticed I was alone . I have trauma alot of it and I cry when I try to explain myself and it frustrates me more because I don’t know where to start. For a month ? Shadow work has been very loud on my path and I’ve been puttin it on the back burner but a trigger made me do some research and here I am … thank you ❤ thank you so much for sharing your story . I’ve spent my time in earth trying to act like my past didn’t exist. But it’s an important part of me ❤. Thank you 🙏 for taking the time to explain this ❤️🩹
ALL PRAISES HONOR AND ESTEEM TO THEE MOST HIGH YAH BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF ZION I ENJOYED THIS I NEEDED THIS MAY THEE MOST HIGH YAH CREATOR OF LIFE AND DEATH KEEP YOU FROM EGYPT YAH BLESS 💕💕💕💕🔥
When she said they don't wanna be healed they wanna be untraumatized that hit me so hard. Thank you Goddess. ❤️
Yes that was a powerful moment, and what followed.
Me toooo😮
That statement was a Diamond of Truth.
"When we don't teach the history of the trauma, then we preserve the power dynamic that bred the trauma in the first place." She's amazing.
🙌🏽
Yes yes and yes
“Healing is not the eraser of the trauma but it is the revelation of the truth. “
This was all very helpful and articulated so so well. Thank you!

A gifted, viscerally charged speaker.
She talks to fast , and doesn't even take a breath between a sentence .
@@sunshine-qk8qe Hey, I know that life can be really irritating sometimes. If you ever need to talk about it, I don't mind listening.
When she said she has no image of being held ! I felt that because I don’t have a picture of my mother holding me either .
Yeah I felt that 😢
Arguable the most impactful 18mins and 45seconds I’ve spent on RUclips ever🙌🏾. Thank you for your vulnerability and the skill to reach your audience not only with words, yet with feeling✊🏾

This video is so eye opening. Came across this video as I was reading about shadow work and trauma.
