Spiritual Healing

Grandmother Moon

Last night was the full moon in Pieces, the energy was potent, building, watery and deeply emotional. My daughter called me. She was feeling anxious and depressed because she is a millennial in a world drenched in fear, separated and uncertain. Like all souls who are healing, her ego self is experiencing a death. Although we are both strong and wise, my heart shatters to hear the burden she carries. She is my blood. She shares my DNA. I tell her this is our problem. We say goodbye and my feet are on the sand. I walk to the ocean and stand barefoot in the cold water as the full moon rises. I go home and in the elevator I start to break into tears. I am taken back to a grandmother ceremony in 2019 when I pulled back the threads of suffering that we shared and the Mother took them and recycled them into Light. These are ancestral traumas that cary through me to her. I had random songs playing on my head phones and then I AM comes on. Pushing through the door of my place, the tears were coming down. I sat in stillness and then I heard the Grandmother speak: She said “You will heal for me”. In a vision, I saw my grandmother medicine shaman, revered and cherished teacher and healer, Rita Hraiz standing over me smiling knowingly. She is a force of healing and an anchor for so many. I remember the words a friend told me their shaman told them (I paraphrase), “Your ancestors have suffered, but are not suffering now. Your ancestors are pure light. They are helping you to heal the ancestral suffering that is now yours to heal” That hit me. I lit some sage, and was transported back into that ceremony and cried more tears for pain I know so well. Feeling lifetimes of it rise up and through me. Under the full moon last night I felt my grandmothers with me. So many understandings flooded in like sacred geometries imprinting and encoding into my consciousness, I don’t even know how else to describe it. But now I know I can talk to them more. I am open to their wisdom. Before Turtle Island (This continent) was colonized, the people spoke and had contact with their ancestors for guidance and healing. I reclaim that which was taken from my people. Ancestral healing is an important step in healing the traumas of the past that are passed on to us by wounded modelling and conditioning from our caregivers dysfunctional lifestyle, behaviours and vagal co-regulation. The socialization of living in a colonized culture that is highly individuated, disconnected and deregulated compounds and perpetuates the trauma of separation from Self, Spirit and the ancestral line. We are in this life, at this time now, to stop the cycles of suffering and separation. And so it is.

To start doing ancestral healing work. start with Deep Healing Rituals, guided hypnosis journeys to heal your wounded aspects.

Enjoy the the wisdom and light this full moon brings through to you.

All my relations.
