I think we can all identify with trauma. Of course we can. A living breathing experience within every cell in our body extending to various realms in the astral plane.
Reflections and threads of experiences in our lineages, those responses from our ancestors, continue to communicate via the neural pathways in our brains.
The experiences repeat themselves, as do our responses. Over time, those experiences take on different form igniting new responses.
On a daily basis, we are responding to that trauma, consciously or not, thus giving rise to a new identity. A new life triggers those neural pathways to send different messages to your cells, and I believe, to your ancestors. Not only can they see your reactions beyond the veil, they can sense them and also have the opportunity to respond differently.
Yes, those ancestors still embedded in a familial or experiential traumatic event beyond the veil do react to shift.
I’ve witnessed it since I began my practice.
Our innate response much of the time is to separate from trauma. Understandable. We do what we need to do to survive.
Some might dive deeply into it to overanalyze or over obsess, also creating a form of separation.
Over obsessing to find one’s identity and meaning to quell the taste of desperation and powerlessness.
Diving deeply into something does not necessarily mean acceptance. Power over trauma does not equate to empowerment and peace.
The internal struggle remains to form a new identity separate from the trauma, separate from the darkness.
There’s this level of acceptance I have witnessed where those ancestors bound by the same threads take a deep breath and let go. Grace enters the spiritual realms as well as the cells of the person in present reality. It is not always about the amount of inner work you do, but who you are, how you see yourself, and how you bear witness to the process that creates the shift.
New neural pathways are formed as the need to identify oneself separately from the darkness, from the trauma, no longer weighs heavily on the person who is struggling.
They have created the opportunity to experience trauma for the first time with a new identity. Only by this time, it is not experienced as trauma as we know it.
Trauma doesn’t become you. Nor does it own you. It is part of the universal construct as much as anything else.
In time and with acceptance, there’s a sense of appreciation and respect for all the suffering we have gone through.
