This week I kept feeling my grandmother’s presence…maybe because her birthday is approaching this coming week but I realized in rewriting your story; you have to not only know where you come from but understand your lineage.

When I look at my life and all of the paths taken throughout this journey, I come face to face with questions that I have no immediate answers. I am a Reiki Master and I have done self healing yet I still face serious health challenges. I am a manifestor yet I still face financial challenges. This week a question arose within myself; why?

I had to go back into my history to view my mom’s journey, my grandmother’s journey & my great grandmother’s journey. I saw a pattern which told me that my current circumstances were deeper than the physical, they were ancestral.

I began studying past life regression & healing ancestral karma because finally, I am understanding that this baggage I am carrying does not belong to me…it has been inherited through DNA and the onus was now on me to go deeper in order to heal not only my issues but my past life issues as well as my ancestral issues if I am to live my purpose. In healing myself, I heal my ancestors and my descendants.

Most of us go through life totally oblivious to this therefore,  we find ourselves in a never-ending rat race repeating mistakes, reaching, grasping but never living up to our full potential.  At some point you get tired and begin to seek answers outside of the societal box to really learn how to navigate this thing called life.

There is more to you than who you see in the mirror. There’s more to you than your thoughts, your beliefs. Are you courageous enough to go deeper and see who you really are underneath it all? Do you want to find your original self in a sea of instilled thoughts, beliefs and behaviors?

I have spent a substantial amount of time in mindful & transcendental meditation to clear hidden energetic blockages and heal ancestral karma in an effort to live my best life. Some of you may be questioning what I am referring to while an antenna has been raised in others. Do your research & seek what is best for you. I do my best to introduce different perspectives without force with the full confidence that the message will get to those it was meant to reach.

It’s funny because as a Reiki Master and healer it’s so easy to get caught up in the fact that you are a healer, not to mention that society now views you as such. I recall when I got sick after becoming a healer and someone said to me; “You’re a healer so heal yourself.” I also remember a few poking fun at the fact that I was sick, yet saying I was a healer. It took these deep meditations for me to fully understand that some of the greatest healers are wounded healers because we understand what it’s like to be wounded.

Some of the greatest healers still die of natural causes. Some of the most anointed pastors go through deep bouts of unbelief. Some of the top surgeons die of illnesses that they have saved others from. No one is perfect therefore, no one is exempt from themselves.

Don’t allow your wounds to inhibit your gifts. It may be your very wounds that help someone else. Keep doing what you are guided to do…wounded and all. Just don’t give up on you because sometimes you may be your only cheerleader and knowing all it takes is one makes all the difference in the world.

I am finding that the key to all of this…the key to life is healing deep within your core and then and only then can you really rewrite your story with vigor and passion. Aside from that, you’re just throwing ideas in the wind hoping something will blow in the right direction and sometimes, it will land and stick for awhile but a heavy gust will come and toss everything back in the air leaving you chasing dreams in the wind.

Slow down. Listen to your body. Heed your intuition. Read the writing on the wall and do what your Spirit is guiding you to do (not your mother, father, grandmother, society, or tradition) but what YOUR VERY SPIRIT is telling you is necessary for you to live YOUR best life while helping others along the way. Sometimes that may mean loving some from a distance or cutting some off altogether. YOU hold the pen writing this story and nothing else matters but your Soul, your story and those whose lives are changed for the better because YOU LIVE.
