Yesterday, I found myself shouting at my elderly mother. Immediately afterwards, I found myself writhing in sadness. While it is natural to express anger at those we love, it is important to do the inner dive and assess what is still to be healed witihin us. Family members are the best instrument to work throuh the abyss of fears, anger, and other dark emotions. Every angry, wrathful, violent thought and/or negative response we endure can be traced to the cellular memories we carry within our genetic composition which had been sculpted by familial bloodlines. Ancestral memories mold our relationship to the world and can control our responses and behavior unless we bring awareness to them. The ancestors can be both the source of the hardship and the remedy. Each time we allow a challenge to push our buttons, we push deeper into the murk of ancestral chasm.
With ancestral awareness, we can choose a dharmic response or make a humane choice when faced with challenges. In this way, we transcend the ancestral ground of negative experiences. We win, we grow, we morph into our humanity and elevate both ourselves and the ancestral spirits. We need their cosmic protection!
Let’s enjoin heart across Mother Earth to awaken ancestral awareness. Here are three very simple practices you can do to cull and strengthen ancestral awareness.
REMEMBRANCE: Set up a small altar in your home
NOURISHMENT: Offer a small portion of vegetarian food to ancestors
AWARENESS: Bring awareness to negative responses rooted in familial anger, rage, angst, guilt.
May Peace Be Your Journey~
