Lineage

Lineage is the line from which you came from.

It refers to the actual path and the people on your path. It’s everything that you are connected to, as well as the path that leads to where you are in the here and now.

Look at your bloodline like a river.

It’s the one that runs through your veins and connects you back to the source. A time where there was no time, or consciousness as we know it now.

Are you able to even fathom how many generations have passed since then?

If you want to know the approximate numbers, it’s something like 240,000 human generations since the category of “Early Hominins” and 10,000 human generations since “Homo Sapiens”.

That’s your mother, and your grandmother, her grandmother…all the way back 10,000 cycles. Think of all the places they’ve lived, their lived experiences - the circumstances that led to you being here.

Now, if we want to talk about energetics - life and consciousness is literally energy that is given a form. Form with energy.

Energy is information.
Memory is information.

Generational Trauma

When we start talking about healing something like “generational trauma”, we’re talking about healing beliefs and information that have been passed down the line that are now present in us at both an energetic level, and in a cellular level in our physical bodies.

We look at some of this energy as gifts. Artistic talents, features that you like about yourself, a type of activism, or kindness.

Then there are what we could call “toxic” patterns. For example, maybe your grandfather was terribly abused as a child. So then your mother was verbally abused as a child, and so there’s some of that that has shown up during your own childhood. 

And now you’re here. So what can you do now?

Having awareness is a great place to start. 

You are now here, aware of the energies that are present in your system. You also understand that you get to choose what gets passed on. You have a choice to create new energy - a new state of being, and the power to cut the cord to what you do not want to carry forward.

Cutting of the cord

When you think about trimming a vine, you’re essentially cutting the energy cord that feeds that path. You’re allowing that part of your identity to die - stopping its presence in your future timeline.

The cord we’re talking about could be patterns of domestic violence, infidelity, fear around money, verbal abuse–and you get to reprogram it with a new code; redirecting this energy for new growth; new vines, roots, leaves, flowers. 

The new information is in the story of your life.

This is what embodiment is. That your life right now is tethered to this body, and on this body you get to write a story. And we’re not just talking about your physical body here.

Sure there’s how you dress, your health and fitness - 

You also get to write the story of:

  • Your mind, which refers to your values, ideas, vocation, the contemplations you have.

  • Your energetic body, which is your fire, passions, creativity and ecstatic joy.

  • Your heart is your emotions and how you want to express, love, and connect to the people in your life - your soul tribe.

When I’m talking about the next down the line, I’m not necessarily referring to just biological children. I’m also referring to how you interact with people in this world, the community you’re building, the people you love, the things you’re leaving on your timeline here.

You have the power to direct the light, and embody it in a life written with love. And that’s what you’re choosing by being here today. This is an act of self love. So thank yourselves for being here, I thank you for being here.
