Resolving Trans-Generational Pain That Blocks Your Ability
More answers to the question:
Why is it so hard to manifest what I want in my life?
This class uses Circles from “Soul Prayer Charts” and “Gifts from the Rainforest” to clear your mind and thinking.
It is very possible that you are experiencing some career problems that actually belong to other members of your family. We live our lives presuming our difficulties are our own, when in reality we might be influenced by or even living out a pain that does not belong to us, and has actually been passed down from previous generations.
All people are connected in their desire to love others and be loved. When that desire has stopped, become misguided or wounded, our relationships suffer and it becomes nearly impossible to live authentically. We become anxious, depressed, acting compulsively, obsessively worrying and downright paranoid. It is easy to wonder how all this suffering could have possibly come from a place of love.
Traumas from the past cannot be completely healed without awareness.
When dealing with our own issues, we can understand the general circumstances of the original trauma and why we reacted the way we did. That way, we can effectively come to terms with it and make the necessary changes. But when we take on someone else’s pain, such as a mother or brother, we become entangled because we can only guess at what really happened or what their pain is about. If the trauma has been handed down through several generations, the chances are even lower because we may not even know what that ancestor’s experience was.
How do you know when you are entangled in a past family tragedy or pain?
You might experience an unexplained, intense sense of guilt, or feel an obligation to live a certain way or have a certain occupation without any genuine desire to do so. Conversely, you may have a phobia or extreme dislike for certain kinds of people or situations.
One example of a family entanglement was found in a client who had an unexplained inability to be successful. She always found herself taking the blame for other people’s cruelty and was the appointed “scapegoat” of her family, but she didn’t really know why. She just assumed that she must be a bad person.
It was finally discovered through Trans-generational Therapy that she had taken on the guilt of her father, who was a navigator in World War II and had bombed many people. When he was sent home, he was expected to just get back to normal, but he found it very difficult to handle being a family man. One night, he went into a rage while disciplining his daughter. At that point, they became entangled. Confused and frightened, the young girl made a decision to try and make him feel better by being bad for him. Later, she even made an attempt at suicide in an effort to alleviate her father’s guilt.
Here are some other possible causes for Trans-generational Pain:
Take note if these traumatic and fateful experiences have occurred, either in your own life, your parents, grandparents or great grandparents respectively.
• Inability to bond with parent(s) due to complications at birth, prolonged separation in early childhood or their emotional unavailability caused by their own entanglements.
· Loss of child(ren) due to abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, adoption, artificial insemination, surrogating, or secrecy.
· Tragic/sudden death, accident or serious illness of family members.
· Acts of war or terrorism.
· Disrespect/exclusion of family members due to divorce/separation, handicap, ill-deed, sexual or religious preference, ethnicity.
· Unresolved feelings with former partners/lovers.
· Unacknowledged injustice, crime or personal gain.
When these kinds of issues go unresolved, they can have a serious affect on your life, your health and your ability to manifest.
The following series of Circles and graphs offers an easy way to handle these entanglements by simply releasing your agreement to take them on. Use them as a prescription for when you want to become aware of, and release, any unconscious entanglements from the past that may be interfering with your ability to manifest what you desire in the present. Look at them in the sequence given below for a minute or longer with legs both crossed and uncrossed. If there is a question, gaze into the Circle and see what answer comes to you.
Remember that when you are viewing the Circles
Begin by reading the affirmation below and then look at the indicated Circle one at a time with a soft gaze for approximately one minute. A shorter or longer time may be necessary. The Circle is providing structural support for the contents of the intention, affirmation or question that accompanies it. Just breathe deeply and relax. Allow yourself to be open and receiving. You may notice subtle energies, memories or emotions running through you or the Circles may begin to move, rotate, pulsate or even change colors. This is all part of the experience. Just keep breathing; relax into your body and stay objective - just as you would in a state of meditation. You are encouraged to journal on insights or new ideas that may come to you during the exercise.
Step One - Ask yourself:
“Are there any family members that I have
an odd relationship with?”

Is there a sibling or parent that gets you angry for no apparent reason?

Do seemingly simple things cause huge arguements?

Are you overly worried about or focused on a pet or particular family member?

The next step is to take a few minutes to look at a sequence of Circles out of Gifts from the Rainforest and Soul Prayer Charts that will help you to extract yourself from the agreements that entangle you. Remember to view the Circles with legs both crossed and uncrossed so that corrections are made all of the time, not just some of the time.
Note: G will stand for Gifts from the Rainforest and S will stand for Soul Prayer Charts.
