Uprooting Trauma

We have all experienced some form of trauma that keeps us from optimally moving forward in life. These experiences can be anything from verbal attacks, put downs, and mental and emotional manipulation, to physical or sexual abuse. 

 

We also have traumatic history in our ancestry which becomes a part of our genetic code. While the DNA in each of our cells is permanent in nature, our epigenome (the way our DNA is expressed) is malleable and can be affected not only by our personal trauma, but also by the trauma of our parents and ancestors. The key is to find ways to energetically uproot the trauma, so we can change the way our body feels and allow it to self-heal.

 

Through my extensive work with clients, I have found that we’ve all had other lifetimes that influence our current life trauma as well. You can think of these other lifetimes as archetypes. We attract experiences in our current life, so we can resolve our unhealed past life traumas. Moreover, we’ve also likely chosen to come into our current lifetime within a particular ancestry. Old ancestral patterns and cycles of trauma repeat, so we can attract the unresolved ancestral trauma and heal it.

 

Past generations tend to have a lot of unresolved trauma since they were less likely to work on themselves for many reasons. In fact, it was often dangerous to express emotional issues and traumatic symptoms. My Grandma Sherman used to say, “If you have too many problems you’ll end up at Anoka State Hospital.” Some of my older clients experienced being institutionalized this due to problems that are considered common today such as postpartum depression and menopause. While things have come along way, still today, there is a definite stigma around having emotional pain and needing help, and because of this much of the trauma experienced in the world remains unresolved.

 

Many people I work with have ancestors who were war veterans. These veterans often came back with addiction issues and PTSD. The father of one of my clients came home traumatized by his experiences in WWII. Her paternal grandfather was traumatized by WWI, so this was at least two generations of war veterans whose unhealed trauma was impacting her ancestral line and field. Her father would wake up with flashbacks and act out what happened to him during the war which included intense abuse. This client now has PTSD and addictions issues herself. Fortunately, she’s working through it so she can end the ancestral cycle of war trauma and the collateral damage it caused.

 

Unresolved past trauma leaves pain, confusion, maladaptive behaviors, and stuck energy active in the ancestral energy field. Because we are connected into this field, we tend to feel and act these dynamics out. It’s important to clear up the left over trauma so we can more easily work on our own trauma. This will also begin the process of expressing your DNA differently which helps to clear up mental, emotional, and physical issues.

 

You can also lighten up the trauma you carry by working on your ancestry since ancestral trauma amplifies your current life trauma. If your own trauma feels like a 5 or 6, your unhealed, ancestral trauma can make it feel more like an 8 or 9.  Ancestries tend to repeat and amplify difficult traumas and experiences until resolved.

 

Additionally, understanding how past lives affect our trauma is also important since we, in part, come into our current life to resolve these past life issues. We tend to duplicate our past life trauma, so we can work through it today. Resolving past life trauma energetically, makes it much easier to heal our current life experiences.

 

Resolving trauma isn’t always easy, but it becomes easier when you realize you’re not alone. You are not unusual, tainted, or bad. Trauma is a universal part of the human condition and nothing to be ashamed of. Knowing this gives you the confidence and courage to work through it. It’s important to have outside help since trauma can limit your ability to see yourself and life clearly. Working with a skilled practitioner can help you reframe your experiences, so you can let go of them on a mental, emotional, and physical level.

Doing this healing work raises our vibration so that we can move into Ascension—a vibration that brings in love, kindness, and unity consciousness. Let’s join hands and do this work together.
