As I write this post in November of 2024, we are moving out of an astrological phase which began in early 2008 and carried us through so many challenges over sixteen years. We now move into a new age and new energy covering the next twenty years.
We only need to think back over the past sixteen years and remind ourselves of what we have been living through. That’s not to say that the next twenty years will all be brightness and joy, but more that we are now moving through a time when we bring in the changes that we want to live both individually and as a planetary collective. There will no doubt be more upheaval in order to bring about these changes, but the changes promise to be more positive, which is what we all want to hear and at least hope for.
Trauma has been a big topic over the past few years and I think I can safely say that most people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. It may be a smaller, one-off traumatic experience or it may be a life-long or generational experience that affects them everyday. And of course since the pandemic, we are seeing a whole generation of young people and children who have been traumatised from lockdowns and parental stress. During this phase (2008 to 2024) much of this trauma has been revealed to be addressed and to bring some closure for those who were the victims. Some people have made their peace, while others still have a way to go.
In clinic we’ve talked extensively about trauma in recent years, with ancestral or inherited trauma being on everyone’s lips. We were all a part of the traumatising effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, with its profound impacts and outcomes being felt at a different level by each individual and each family.
As a practitioner, I’ve become very familiar with many of the newer trauma remedies and how to get the best out of them for each client. In addition to these deep acting homeopathic remedies, we’ve looked at working with mindfulness, meditation and ‘iffirmations‘, and many people have seen psychologists and counsellors to talk things through. There are groups for sufferers to share their stories and some truly horrific stories have been revealed over these years.
But, moving forward into a new phase in our earth-experience, it feels like it’s time to look at things a little differently. Do we want to relive our trauma forever? How many times can we revisit and review these experiences? Does it add value to our current lived experience and doesn’t there come a time to make peace with it and to be able to let some of it go or at least find some positives?
If this earthly existence is an illusion within the matrix, as so many tell us, and if what we are living is what we have chosen to experience for this lifetime, then can’t we choose something different now? Can we not change the energy of our experience with the changing planetary energy?
It can be really hard to find the upside in life if you are living with the results of a generational inheritance of trauma or an unspeakable event, such as we’ve seen revealed in the media over the past while. Trauma perpetrated by a family member, a partner or an institution can be particularly hard to see beyond.
To my mind, everything has a polarity, an upside or an opposite. What is the upside or the opposite of the ancestral trauma we seem to have been moving through collectively over the past decade or so? What is the upside of all the bad stuff so many of us have lived with and through?
From an earthly perspective, what did our ancestors have that we could tap into now, that we could inherit as our ancestral wealth? How did our earthly ancestors survive the trials and tribulations that were part of their lives, that have become part of our lives through our inheritance. How did they survive things like war, famine, disease, slavery and colonialism, just as examples? And of course we can’t leave out abuse, which is nothing new, but is now in the open, where once it was hidden and veiled in shame and guilt.
I’m not sure that’s a question I could answer definitively, but if I think about the things that I know we need to survive in life, it’s strengths like resilience, optimism, commitment to a cause, perhaps a belief in a higher power, or maybe it’s just a desire to not dwell on something that cannot be changed.
It’s going to be different for everyone because everyone’s lived experience is different. It also depends on where you are coming from? Do you see the world as a finite experience – there is nothing after death? Or do you believe in life after life, or even parallel lives, ie all our experiences lived at the same time on different parallel time lines. And what of your concept of the choices we made as learning experiences for this lifetime? How you see life is one of those things that you need to work through, work on and extrapolate from.
Let me deviate slightly from the above to give another perspective on this topic. I always wanted to be an archaeologist when I was a child and I was particularly fascinated by the ancient Egyptians. With the ability to stream documentaries from channels like Gaia, Netflix and National Geographic, we now have access to a wealth of programs on this topic. The most interesting of these is a series which shows that the archaeology we have believed in dates back to many thousand years earlier than first realised. That civilisations all around the globe have similar stories of cataclysms and floods, which are not just stories as we’ve been told, but backed up by fact now that LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging a remote sensing method that uses pulsed laser) can see what is below the top soil in areas which may be covered in dense jungle or newer structures. LIDAR has revealed previously unknown and much more ancient structures than we knew existed by standard archaeological methods. This has changed the ancient landscape as far back as the last ice age and rewritten history as we understand it.
From images around the world which date to a similar time and show similar stories, one theory is that a group of highly developed beings appeared around 12,600 years ago, and then travelled around the world teaching these civilizations skills in building, language, astronomy and mathematics. These civilizations then continued on, creating sacred sites which focused on certain astronomical alignments over thousands of years. It seems, however, that the impressive skills these beings taught the peoples of the ancient civilisations waned with each successive generation, presumably as these higher beings either disappeared or died out. This loss of knowledge continued until the industrial revolution, which from around 1750 focused some people on building wealth for themselves by any means, and others on building the wealth of the wealthy!
The focus became much more on the material world for some and on survival for many. In the short space of less than 300 years, we became disconnected from our environment, from nature and often from our families. Just think of the millions of people who emigrated from Ireland to other nations during the ravages of the Irish potato famine (1845 to 1852); another event perpetrated by the rich wanting to get richer.
In the past 20 years we’ve been disconnected further through the internet and social media, which tells us what it wants us to know and tells us what we should think. And currently it seems that focussing on our collective trauma is another way to keep us subdued and submissive.
That’s not to downplay anyone’s trauma, but rather to say that energetically with this most recent shift, it feels like it’s time to find the upside of something that we’ve previously experienced and known as dark and negative. This doesn’t negate it or diminish its impact but rather suggests that we think about how our ancestors – be that the last generation or 500 generations back – may have got through times which seemed unsurvivable.
What I have found very useful in recent times are the writings of Dr Joe Dispenza. He talks about a lot of the concepts I’ve embraced for more than 30 years, but he talks about it in a scientific way. How often do we talk about changing our lot in life, of manifesting what we want, of envisaging or dreaming to bring this into reality?
Until you read the science it’s easy to just think of it as a bit of a lovey-lighty concept, but it’s not. It’s a concept that involves energy and matter, aligning the mind with the heart/body, and changing the neural pathways to change the energy of what you are experiencing and also what you bring into your life in the future.
In his 2012 book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself (How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One), Dr Joe explains the science of changing our minds to change our lives in great detail. It’s a concept many of us are already very familiar with, and in reading it I realised that one of the things Dean and I didn’t hear anyone trying to manifest when we ran our prosperity workshops was the inheriting of ancestral wealth. Well they maybe tried to manifest financial wealth, but there are so many more useful traits that you’d perhaps like to be able to connect with from the people in our past.
Lack of wealth could of course be an inherited trauma, if your family has been plagued by poverty or bad luck in business over many generations, for example. This lack of wealth may permeate into other areas of life, impacting health and relationships, so it is definitely something we want to look at when we talk about ancestral wealth. We can’t just pick one area without considering its impact on the bigger picture.
Ancestral patterns are held deep in the subconscious mind, in the cellular memory, and in the energy bodies. Recognizing them and choosing to change them begins the process of transforming them, but if you recognise repeating patterns despite your own awareness, or perhaps you sabotage yourself at every turn, then deeper patterns are likely at play. This will take us into the realms of karma, soul contracts and so on.
There are many techniques we can use to help release and change these energetic blocks. Practices such as meditation and mindfulness, visualizing a conversation with your younger self, your self from a past or parallel life, or an ancestor (or whoever you perceive as holding the energy) can help release the energetic hooks that connect us to these patterns.
But really, for me, awareness is the biggest factor. When we can step back and recognise what is potentially going on, when we can be the observer rather than the victim, when we take ourselves out of the matrix in order to go beyond, then we can begin to tap into our ancestral wealth. Whether that be lessons learned but not integrated from our own previous lifetimes, the severing of ties or ending of soul contracts, or just the creation of ‘iffirmations‘ to drop us into a more enquiring, positive space, any step in this process is a step forward into the new energy opening up to all of us with the movement of Pluto into Aquarius for the next twenty years.
