We are unpacking these trauma signals that get locked up in our energy systems.

So many of them are just passed on by our ancestors and part of that is so that we will have the capacity to defend and protect ourselves and avoid those painful connections.

But in order to avoid anything or to defend or protect ourselves we've got to know what the thing is.

So that's why it gets embedded in our own energy center.

So we want to release these stories because they are trapping us in the idea that life is hard,

That we've got to suffer a lot just to survive and it's not the way forward.

We have got to drop that story all about survival,

Struggle,

Suffering,

Hardship.

The human species has been spoon-fed this idea since the very beginning.

It is time for us to change the story,

To start seeing ourselves as beautiful beings who are loving,

Kind,

Gracious.

We know how to bring in abundance,

We know how to help and connect and align ourselves with others,

Collaborate,

Cooperate.

Of course we know all this stuff.

Now we must truly bring it in.

It's the most perfect time to do it.

Today we're going to unwrap this idea of sorrow.

It's a deep,

Deep pain.

I'm sorry that you're holding that but let's hold it together with such kindness,

Softness and gentleness so that we can unwrap it together.

Then perhaps that signal will not be so very,

Very painful in your own body.

The sorrow signal sits on the lung and the colon energy line,

The meridian line.

So we want to pay attention to that because so often we have lung problems that come in later on when we don't release these signals.

It's really,

Really important that we learn how to do that and we're going to connect with that.

Before we go in we want to bring our energy into a very strong energy vortex.

We do that by opening up our field and then calling in our guides.

Wiggle,

Wiggle,

Get comfortable.

We're about to begin.

Take a deep breath in.

Long,

Slow out-breaths.

When you breathe out,

Drop,

Drop into this moment.

Just feel yourself settling down,

Feet connecting to the earth.

Soften your tummy.

Notice where you are.

Feel supported,

Feel held.

Now smooth the skin on your beautiful face.

Relax your jaw,

Drop your shoulders and let your arms feel a little heavy.

We're sending a signal to this beautiful being that we don't have to hold on cling on to this life,

A dear life.

That the space that we're in right now is holding us and supporting us.

We're so grateful for that.

We're anchoring our energy into the space and the place where we are right now.

As we are doing all of this we understand that we are being taken care of.

The breath of life is breathing into us.

Gravity is holding us.

Our heart is beating.

Our systems are functioning and we know that there is nothing we have to do with any of that.

All of that is holding us in the sacred space.

Let's claim this as a sacred space.

Wherever we are in the world,

Where you are right now,

Imagine that you can send a signal right down into the center of the earth and we're all going to send it in to the center of the earth.

The deepest gratitude.

So grateful.

Grateful for this life,

This mind,

Body and being.

For this time that we can be here and we start to witness ourselves.

It's an incredible opportunity to begin to witness ourselves in our journey.

We're stepping out of that idea of managing and hoping and coping.

We're coming into a different awareness of ourselves in this time and space.

Once we do that we ask our being,

So what is it that I'm seeking,

Longing for?

And whatever that is that resonates as absolute truth with you.

Just feel it in your being now.

Feel it through your heart.

And imagine that you can glow that as a signal out from you.

You're radiating it out into the field around you.

Into this radiant field.

Let's welcome our guides,

Angels and divine presence coming now.

Be with us now.

Hold every dear soul that's here.

Hold us all in the most kind loving embrace.

Whatever it is that will support us,

That we might hear,

Feel,

Sense or connect to.

Whatever can awaken in our own mind,

Body,

Being to elevate our consciousness,

May that be.

And we hold that deeply,

Sincerely in our being.

We're so grateful.

We layer that beautiful radiant glowing energy with gratitude.

Place that energy all the way around this.

This is like a white energy light field.

It's the icing on the cake.

The gratitude that there is something that is deeply meaningful and significant for us to be here at this time,

In this place and in this way.

For many of us we don't realize just how significant our life is because we seem to think it's just doing this,

Doing that and a little humdrum.

But truthfully my lovely,

You would not be here if you were not deeply necessary at this time.

So however you see or interpret yourself,

Whatever thoughts you might have about that,

Just let them go and open them to a feeling of gratitude,

Grateful to be here.

No matter what the situation,

No matter what is transpiring in your life or unfolding,

Find the gratitude in your soul.

You chose to be here and you were chosen to be here.

You have the perfect personality,

The awareness,

The consciousness and you have encoded gifts in you that perhaps not yet awakened.

Isn't that just too wonderful to think about that?

Like all the gifts that we might place in front of us,

We haven't unwrapped them yet and we have not yet discovered their delight.

But within every single one of us is a coding.

There is something that is awakening within us and you hold a little part of this gift and someone else holds something else and I hold this little part and together we are like the many facets on a diamond.

We're starting to shine in the most incredible way because we're willing to shine.

We're willing to be here.

We're willing to notice ourselves in this journey with deep compassion,

Deep kindness.

Do that now.

Bring this beautiful energy into you of deep compassion,

Kindness,

Generosity as spirit to your own being.

Then we ask our being,

What do I know of the energy of deep sorrow?

What in this life has awakened that for me?

For some of you it's been so big that it could almost take your breath away.

If you could be willing to just be with the idea,

The memory and the feelings of what you know about sorrow,

Deep sadness.

And then think for a moment how you have felt holding that energy,

How your being has managed to hold it,

To express it.

Sometimes we can share it and sometimes we just cannot.

Sometimes we have to suppress it and lock it up in ourselves because no one around us could understand even or we don't want to upset them so we just hold it deep within us.

And that my lovely is such a pity that we've started to understand this sense of being in this life as not trying to inconvenience anyone else,

Not trying to upset anyone else.

In that we've started to move away from our authenticity because we so deeply don't want to dump our stuff on someone else.

We don't want to upset them or perhaps we cannot trust them with our deepest,

Most sincere feelings.

For whatever reason that is,

When we suppress a feeling in us it becomes enmeshed,

It drops itself deeply into our consciousness,

Into the mind and even into the body.

So it finds a place within us just to hold itself,

Wrap itself up in a little ball of comfort.

So often my lovelies we feel this energy of tightness in the spleen.

If you were to look on your left hand side of your being and you imagine where your heart is and you just drop down a little bit from your heart just behind the ribs is the spleen on the left hand side of the body.

And the spleen energetically holds memories,

Painful memories,

All the history,

All the stories.

It's incredible that we have a place that we can put all this stuff.

Imagine like a little child that was holding just too many wounds and too much pain,

Didn't know what to do with it.

We would probably curl up into a little ball and just try and hold ourselves inside of a tight little space not to be injured or hurt anymore.

That energetically is what the spleen does.

It tightens up around itself and when this happens we put this energy right into our own being.

We lock it away,

We suppress it.

So part of the pain that we are experiencing,

Sometimes physical,

Emotional,

Spiritual,

Mental,

However it might impact us,

When we lock pain away,

When we're not willing to share it and open it because we're afraid to hurt or inconvenience or upset anyone else and we hide it in us.

It's got to be hidden somewhere in us.

It'll be lovely if we can just put it in a little compartment right outside of our body and say,

Okay you hold it here like a little holograph and I'll come and I'll open the cupboard and we'll play and we'll release and we'll do the work.

But we don't.

We tuck it away inside of us where it stays as a secret,

A deep pain,

A foreboding,

A dread.

So we hold it and we lock it up inside of us.

My lovelies,

This is causing us to get sick.

We cannot do it any longer.

The only way that we can release this is to release it,

Is to open it up.

That might seem very,

Very scary for you to open up this door.

You might think it's like Pandora's box.

Oh my gosh,

I'll never put the lid back on.

I might weep for a year and never stop crying.

We know what it's like to allow ourselves to get to the point where we do just weep.

But there is an emptying out that happens with that.

The entire mechanism of our being asks us not to be a wardrobe,

To lock things up in all these drawers and these little cupboards,

These little filing spaces.

This being is supposed to be here to connect,

To integrate,

To assimilate.

It's got to be open to all of this information.

The picture that comes to mind are those beautiful little sea creatures that you see sometimes in these beautiful underwater films and they've got these little probes and these little tentacles and they're opening up their energy field,

Opening up and sensing what is around them and they're moving with the flow of the water.

Sometimes little fish come and nibble around them because they might be holding little precious nibbly bits around them and they've got this open lovely expression of themselves and they're just moving and being here,

Open and exposed.

But if a person were to swim by and just brush their finger over it,

They would curl up and pull their energy,

Pull those little tentacles back into themselves.

I also think of a snail,

You know,

With this little antenna and they pull themselves back into themselves,

Hide away,

Pull back into the small little ball.

But if we all stayed,

Like everything in life,

If we stayed locked into a small tight space,

There is no movement and there's no flow and we cannot receive life and life force or energy.

We get locked in.

This energy gets suppressed and pushed down.

It's going to hurt the body.

So let's understand that even though it might seem just too impossible to open up the space where pain might be,

Find a way for you that will be a comfort to you,

That will be honest and kind to you.

You take care of you.

You find a way to let this release open and clear because it's the only way we're going to do it is if we take responsibility for our own stuff.

As we are doing that,

Being responsible beings,

Opening up all the spaces where the pain is,

We are also opening up all those windows and doors,

Those locked up spaces where the ancestral line traumas,

Awfulnesses got suppressed and locked up,

That we dare not speak about this because it was so horrible.

No,

No,

We're not going to talk about it.

Then it's going to stay locked in.

Quite a place to be,

Isn't it?

How are you doing?

How are you doing,

My lovelies?

Let's take a deep breath in.

Long,

Slow out-breath.

This calms your beautiful being all the way down through your center,

Your vagus nerve.

Long,

Slow out-breath.

Let's do a few of those.

Deep breath in.

Long,

Slow out-breath.

Into this out-breath we place an agreement of this mind and body.

I agree to release,

Let go and eliminate all that which no longer serves me.

We're sending a message to our being as we breathe in.

I welcome into my life all that which is for my most divine and most sacred life journey.

I welcome more light and air to flow into all the places of my being and I'm marking my breath,

My mind and my body connecting into a single conscious stream of kindness.

Breathing in,

Flowing the energy into this being.

Breathing out,

Releasing.

As you release,

Drop your shoulders.

Relax.

Drop,

Drop,

Drop into this moment.

So we ask now,

Whatever it is that we can release through all time,

All fields and all dimensions,

Whatever pain has got locked up,

Whether it's terrible sorrow,

Deep sadness,

Whatever we can release for our line all the way back in the field of no time,

May I hold the space right now.

And I want you to bring your hands gently facing each other like you're holding an energy ball in your hands.

Go so gently.

Imagine that you could put your heart energy into this little ball that you are holding right now.

You might feel a tingling sensation on the palms of your hands.

And if you do,

You know that you're holding an energy field right here.

The more you practice this,

The more you're going to feel it.

When you're convinced that you are holding a field of energy that is your hands have been activated,

That you are connected directly to your heart line.

And this heart line connects you to your entire family line backwards and forwards in the no time.

You hold a space and you hold a consciousness.

You hold love,

Kindness.

And now gently bring your fingers slowly towards your face without touching.

Now,

Imagine that you could pull the energy all the way up from your chin,

Like you're pulling a mask off your face.

Take it all the way up over your forehead,

Over the back of your head.

Drop it down to your shoulders.

Imagine that you can flick it off of as you extend your arms.

And flick your fingers left and right all the way out,

Like opening your wings and send it out.

Let's do another one.

Take a deep breath in.

Bring yourself to that ball.

Hold the energy here.

Relax your whole being as you breathe out.

Breathing in.

And pulling this energy all the way up.

Now gently sending those light tendrils from your fingertips all the way into your whole being over the back of your head,

Down the back of your neck,

Shoulders.

And then pull it off your arms and send it out.

Let's do this for three of them,

My treasures.

Let's flick it out with all my heart and all my soul.

I ask now that I can release,

Let go and eliminate all the pain,

The hardship,

The horror,

The sadness.

All the awful situations.

I ask now that I can release this through all time,

All fields,

All dimensions.

Direct your fingers now again as you breathe in.

Breathe out.

Release.

Let go.

Let go.

Eliminate.

And so it is.

And let it go.

Wonderful view.

Put your hands on your heart now,

My lovely.

Just hold this space over here.

Be very still in this beautiful being.

We're asking now that we can release,

Let go and eliminate all the grief and pain,

Sadness,

Hardship.

Now we can fill the space that we have created for ourselves.

That we make space for more light,

More love,

Kindness,

Compassion.

We know exactly what it is that we would never wish to repeat in history.

And what we'll never wish to feel again.

Because of the depth that we know and understand this in our own particular unique experiencing of this life.

You,

My love,

Have a cord,

A connection to that code in that vibrational field.

Whatever it is that you've been part of is significant.

Because you know exactly where to go with your healing light.

We ask our guides to take that healing light and pour it into all the places of despair and hardship.

To all the places on this earth right now where there is hideous suffering and sorrow.

Deep,

Deep sadness and loss.

May we learn to love each other.

May this species learn in time.

I'm willing to release all the pain,

The regrets,

The shame,

The blame,

The guilt,

The stories.

So that I can begin to open up the space for more light,

For humanity,

For the children to come and the great,

Great,

Great children to come.

This is our one-time chance to do something that is so important.

I release and let go of all the pitiful points of sadness that I've been holding.

And the realization that I've been holding them to a point where I could know what it is.

That I would never allow to be repeated in history if I could possibly help it.

I know what it is that I seek with all my heart and soul now.

You hold that in your heart.

Hold that in your soul,

My lovelies.

Take a deep breath in and breathe it out.

So may it be.

We thank our guides,

Angels and divine presence for being so close.

Hold us gently and tenderly now.

So grateful for that.

May it truly bless you,

Your family,

Loved ones,

Friends,

Your community in the most incredible way.

Thank you for you,

My treasures.

What an incredible exercise in purging the low energies. How very “wonder-full” to learn how to let go of ancestral traumas and my own as well. Thank you for this great insight and training. I love your meditations in healing ourselves of traumas.
