If you're anything like me you've lived most of your life with an over-arching limiting belief that seems to haunt you from the shadows, but seems so intangible you can't reach out to make peace with it. There is a field of study called epigenetics that follows how ideas, traumas and limiting beliefs can be carried through our DNA, just like the color of our eyes or the shape of our nose. Cool link on this here

What this means is that you may be in rapture with a fear, emotion, invisible ceiling, or disease that was not originally yours! You are very likely carrying your mom's, dad's or even countless generations of family member's STUFF. This can seem initially quite unfair, but in actuality, consider that you chose your parents perfectly for what it is your soul needs to learn and heal. In fact, you are exactly where you need to be to step into the next level of God-consciousness.

God-consciousness is quite simply universal love.
The inclusion of all. The witnessing and honoring of all, so that we don't have to work to remain separated from wholeness. Not just bees and plants and people of all races, but ALL all. And trust me, we spend most of our time working to NOT see universal love than we do softening and opening into it.

So I have a proposition for you.  First, be open to the awareness that despite your parent's best efforts, some of the loudest messages they shared with you were not verbal, but were woven into your cells.  Second, honor the cosmic beauty of knowing that you welcomed that when you chose your body and family.  Third, begin the work of dancing with it. Pull it out in front of you (your limiting belief, your addiction, your grief, your disease, your squelched voice...) and look at it tenderly as if examining a flower up close. Release all judgement of it being "bad" or "good", and see it as a puzzle piece to turn and turn until you understand how it fits into your great releasing. Approach it like a silent stranger that keeps following you around. Turn around and ask some questions!

Have a conversation as it sits out there in front of you. "Hello [insert shadow]. Why are you here?"

I am a huge fan of dialogue. Yes, talking out loud to my uncomfortable pieces. I am also a fan of walking or moving while doing this process. Walking keeps the body in a meditative state by giving it something to do that is not very difficult, making space for higher work. Driving on the highway also seems to be a good time for me for the same reason. (But try your own method and tell me what works for you!)

And this is where you have to let your judging mind step aside and just go with it. Speak on behalf of you and the element you are addressing. Ultimately, the goal is to come into loving relationship with it. Welcome it into your life, but under your direction. Learn and appreciate its value (everything has a value) so you can use it properly, and most importantly, notice how it feels to reverse the flow of pushing away to drawing it in closer. This is universal love. Christ love. God-consciousness.  

Finally, what's debatable but likely true, is that this work begins to heal the family line, as well. Opening up the energy flow heals all whom it touches. And what's not to love about that?
