Healing Generational Wounds: A Dance of Ancestral Recovery

WOO! Don’t get me started!

I’ve come to realize that pain is a silent traveler, passed down like a forgotten heirloom through the ages. This isn’t just about my family; it’s a story woven into the tapestry of every lineage, every culture. Pain isn’t the villain; it’s the messenger that arrives, sometimes uninvited, to shine a light on the misalignments in our lives.

This pain, it doesn’t just fade away. It finds its way into our very cells, where it sets up camp, leaving a legacy of suffering that often goes unspoken. Surprisingly, science supports this notion that emotional trauma can be handed down through our bloodlines, an echo of our ancestors’ struggles.

Generational trauma

I won’t delve into the specifics of the pain that haunts my own family’s history, but what I will share is how I’ve embarked on a journey of healing through the act of honoring my ancestors.

In the sacred medicine wheel of the north, where we pay homage to our forebearers, I took a solemn moment to honor the women in my ancestral lineage, even those whose stories are buried in the sands of time. And yes, I honored my father too.

I made a pact with myself to unearth any lingering pain or trauma that had never seen the light of day. I became a voice for my ancestors, a torchbearer for their unspoken stories. There were tears, an emotional deluge that cleansed my soul.

Releasing trauma

This process is ongoing. I’m aware of it when life’s provocations stir that ancestral cauldron. Instead of shying away, I face it head-on.

There are many ways to heal the emotional wounds passed down through generations. Myofascial release therapy, hypnosis, past life regression, and traditional therapy are all valuable tools in this journey.

And then there’s dancing! A form of artistic expression that transcends words.

Psychology Today beautifully articulates the healing power of dance in trauma recovery. “Dance organizes life in societies and cells in the body. It celebrates weddings, harvests, seasons, and can bring strength and comfort in times of grief.”

Now, let’s talk about dancing. Sometimes, before I start, I’m not in the mood for it. Life can be exhausting, and emotional baggage can accumulate like dust on forgotten shelves. But something magical happens when I put on some music, especially the kind with African rhythms—being from Africa and all.

How dancing releases trauma

Below, you’ll find me, releasing trauma from my very cells—what a joyous and sweaty time it is!

My message to you: Dance! Even if your legs can’t move, dance where you are. Your body loves movement, and your soul longs for the release. Dance through the pain, dance through the joy, and let the rhythm of life guide you on your healing journey.

Do What Makes Me Happy: Unleashing the Power of Passion and Human Design

Life is an incredible journey, and I’ve come to understand that one of the most significant choices I can make is to do what makes me happy. Pursuing activities that ignite my passion not only brings immense joy into my life but also allows me to live authentically.

In this blog post, I’ll share my experiences and insights about the importance of following my passion, the concept of Human Design, my transformative travels across 11 countries and living on four continents (Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America), and my journey as a Generator who followed my passion to create a remarkable career.

The Power of Pursuing My Passion

Passion is the fuel that propels me to excel, create, and find fulfillment in life. Engaging in activities that genuinely fire me up isn’t just work; it’s a calling. Whether it’s singing, songwriting, or connecting with people through music, these pursuits give me a sense of purpose that transcends the ordinary.

Pursuing my passion has also had a profound impact on my mental and emotional well-being. It has reduced stress, heightened my creativity, and boosted my self-esteem. When I’m doing what I love, it feels less like a chore and more like an incredible journey of self-discovery.

Understanding My Human Design

To effectively harness the power of passion, I’ve delved into understanding myself better through Human Design. This incredible system combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to create a unique blueprint for each individual.

My Human Design reveals that I am a Generator, one of the five primary energy types in this system. Generators, like me, are known for their sustainable and enduring energy. We thrive when we are doing work that genuinely lights us up. It’s in our response to life’s opportunities that we can find our true passion and purpose.

The Transformative Magic of Travel

One of the most enriching aspects of my journey has been travel. I’ve had the privilege of exploring 11 countries and living on four continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. These experiences have profoundly shaped my perspective on life and have allowed me to tap into my passions on a global scale.

Traveling has broadened my horizons in ways I could never have imagined. It’s not just about visiting tourist destinations; it’s about immersing myself in diverse cultures, trying local cuisines, and forming connections with people from all walks of life. My journey has taken me from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the serene beaches of Zanzibar, and each destination has contributed to my personal growth.

My experiences living on four continents have given me a unique perspective on life. From the vibrant cultures of Africa to the historical richness of Europe, the spiritual depth of Asia, and the fast-paced lifestyle of North America, I’ve gained insights that fuel my passions and creativity. Travel has been a catalyst for self-discovery and an incredible complement to my pursuit of happiness.

Why should I pursue my passion?

In a world filled with choices and distractions, I’ve come to realize the importance of doing what makes me happy. By tapping into my passions, understanding my Human Design, and exploring the transformative power of travel, I can live a life that aligns with my authentic self.

My journey as a Generator serves as a testament to the incredible heights one can reach when they follow their heart and pursue what sets their soul on fire. So, I encourage you to do what makes you happy, for it is in your happiness that you will find your true purpose and fulfillment in life.
