As young impressionable children, we can inadvertently absorb the negative as well as positive behaviors, beliefs, and emotions of our family. For example, maybe your mum was a workaholic and placed on you the belief that you always need to work hard in life to get anywhere. This could have resulted in you having a difficult relationship with money and find it hard to have any sort of balance in life. Even the family you had never met could still have a profound impact on your life today.
For instance, there is a growing trend of spiritually awakened women who truly have wonderful gifts but have a fear of stepping out into society as they are. These deep-seated fears could likely have originated from the persecution that women faced during the witch trials. Healing our family karma is not easy and can be an ongoing process that requires patience and compassion as often once you heal one layer another will come up. Below are some small steps you can take to help you on your healing journey.
1. BE AWARE OF WHAT THE KARMA IS
Awareness is key in realizing what actually needs to be healed. Each family collectively holds a unique vibration and we are all here in this lifetime to learn and grow. So on a higher level, we have chosen our families to help us on our own journey. Notice first within yourself what blocks and belief patterns you are holding onto. And then work backwards to when you were a child and notice where this belief actually came from. Maybe you faced difficult and traumatic events as a child and as an adult today you hold onto pain or find it hard to open up to people. Notice if other members of your family also have this same approach to life and if you can write all the information you have down.
2. MAKE THE DECISION TO HEAL THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL
This is your why. You big why is key to helping you with any challenges you may face along the way. For example, my big why is my little boy and the determination to heal any family karma so that it ends with me and nothing else is passed on to him. Yours might be to heal relationships or finding more peace within your life.
3. WORK ON HEALING YOURSELF
Changing your own beliefs, behaviors and healing any blocks is the biggest step to healing family karma. It ends with you so even by having the awareness of what those blocks are or noticing any negative or destructive repetitive patterns that you are locked into can be enough. Once you realize what they are you can start clearing them. I like to do guided visualizations and a good one for healing karma is to envision your block as a chain that is holding you down.
Call in your guides or Archangel Michael as you do this visualization and imagine that you are holding a big sword and as you take a deep breathe you cut this chain that is holding you down. If you feel you have a negative relationship with anyone in your family or feel drained around certain people imagine again that there is a cord or rope that is holding you to that person. Again call in your guides to help and imagine cutting these chords and freeing you from any negative energy or controlling behaviors.
4. BE SURE TO GIVE YOURSELF BREATHING SPACE
Sometimes family can be our biggest triggers or source of anxiety so give yourself permission to have some distance and space so you can focus on what is important. As your energy shifts and changes don’t be surprised if those closest to you change as well. They may react negatively at first but often the deeper we go with our healing the more we can lead from example and this then has a positive effect on those around us.
5. SEE YOUR FAMILY KARMA FROM A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE
Before we were born it is believed that we go through our karmic history with our Guardian Angel to decide which family is best suited for us in order to help us awaken and grow. Sometimes we have to face difficulties in order to awaken us to our own potential and help us realize what our purpose is.
When we start seeing the lessons that we faced from a different perspective we become much kinder and more compassionate not only to ourselves but those that may be caused us some pain. Forgiveness is key for true healing to happen and if we cannot forgive and let go of our past how can we possibly move onto a path that is more loving.
This is such an in-depth subject, so I have literally only touched on the biggest steps to healing but there is so much you can learn once you start delving deeper. I wish you so much love on your own healing journey.
