We now know our DNA is comprised of our ancestors physical and mental attributes, as well as memory. The most inherent DNA memories we have are from traumatic events. The one big issue with trauma is how society views it. When we are faced with trauma, we often want to run away from it and put it behind it. However, this is a contradictory approach and will only lead to more suffering. The goal is to process our trauma and nurture it.
Can you think of any irrational fears, terrors, or past life connections or memories that you have experienced?
I have had a few direct ancestral memories come up and for a while I didn't know what they were or how to heal them. Since I was a child, I have intermittently felt like I have been drowning. It seemed very familiar to me even though I had never actually drowned. I actually love swimming and being out in the water, but I can never shake this feeling that I have drowned before. I also have a deep feeling that I was shot in the right side of my stomach with a bullet. Sometimes I have memories of being in the desert as some kind of messenger, walking through with sweat dripping down my forehead as I take a moment of shade under a tree. I know these memories are from past or future lives because they are so deeply seeded in my soul - and eerily - almost calling out for help. These memories have clearly been experienced but not processed, thus they still reside in my ancestral energetic field. Trauma will only dismiss if dealt with. Think about all of the trauma your ancestors went through and how many of those traumas were sitting there, ignored, until the day of death. You, by dealing with your ancestral trauma, are single handedly helping the unsettled lives of those who experienced it as well as preventing future generations experience the same trauma.
When someone goes through a traumatic event, often they will have flashbacks, anxiety, and depression following what happened. The western doctor will prescribe them some sedative, tell them to get plenty of rest, and take some time off work. The approach of the shaman is to look within ourselves. Yes, that means looking deeper into this event and feeling the emotions associated with it. On the surface, this approach seems more exhausting than trying your best to forget about it. Subduing will only push down the emotions, swat them out of the way. That doesn't mean they have been dealt with. It will boil like water in a crockpot until the water spills and you implode, leading to disaster and distraught in your life. That emotion is a piece of you, damaged and crying out for help. That piece of you needs to be found, and loved, not fought. It can be a very scary experience to look into these damaged pieces of yourself, but trust me, when you listen to your emotions and body, allowing pain to exist and working through it, this pain suddenly transforms to love and understanding. You will be reunited and reinvigorated with a new sense of liberation. You will be thanking yourself for revisiting the person or thing that once hurt you. Your ancestors will be thanking you for revisiting and resolving the pain they once felt, clearing it from your generational bloodline.
If you need help or guidance traversing this pain, I am here for you. I would love to facilitate a safe and healing space for you to openly process deep emotions and past life memories. I can take you on a journey to see these past and future lives and explore what lies within the confines of your archaic DNA.
Much love,
Luke :)
