You may have heard me say “we take ourselves with us”, over and over again. I mean that on so many levels. We take our unresolved issues, unexpressed thoughts, and even our broken hearts with us when we die. As far as I am concerned this is wonderful!
Why? Because it proves we are still accessible, vulnerable and available for conversation when in spirit. I have the pleasure of bearing witness to this phenomenon each and every day. Because as long as those in spirit, our dearly departed, ancestors and friends, are accessible and available – connection, communication, and conciliation is possible. And therein lies the blessing.
Most recently a client of mine, whom I will refer to as Susan, had been feeling as if her life was spiraling out of control – plunging her deeper down into a dark place. After several sessions together and a guided journey, we began to explore and unravel her current state of mind in relation to her family history. During our time together we were contacted by her grandmother who felt the need to make her presence known and shed insight on that which we had unearthed. Susan had grown up in the absence of expressed love.
Her grandmother generously offered to share an explanation as to why her daughter (Susan’s mother) raised Susan in such a detached manner. She wanted to get to the root of the issue and “make it up to her”. But most importantly, she asked Susan for her help in breaking the chain which binds them throughout the generations. In doing so, Susan and her grandmother were able to explore how best to tap into and embody the love which is all around them. Talk about helping Susan gain a better understanding of her own feelings toward and about love. It was upon receiving this gift that our transformational process began. The foundation had been laid and we had much upon which to build. But it gets even better – Susan’s grandmother remains very active in this process and seeks to receive healing as much as she seeks to give healing to her granddaughter,
The power of connection, communication and conciliation never ceases to amaze me. We are all in ‘this’ together and since we take ourselves with us – why not take the best version of ourselves? After all, the heart wants what the heart wants and the emotions of the heart live on throughout eternity. Strive to make yours and your loved ones happy, loving and peaceful.
