Understanding Intergenerational Trauma and Energetic Ties.
Your time in the womb is the foundation of your energetic beliefs, understandings and sense of self.
As you begin to read, I want you to know that these words are based on my own personal experience, intuitive knowledge and clinical experiences.
The time we spend in the womb is not only foundational for our physical development, but also our spiritual, energetic and belief system development.
Have you ever struggled with a certain feeling or emotion for your whole life, but had no understanding of why or where it came from?
This is what I am talking about…
That feeling of shame that hangs heavily over you.. for no specific reason.
That anger that fills your bones… for no specific reason.
That fear that is embedded in your cells, for no specific reason.
That sadness that you run from do deeply, for no specific reason.
“Your pain didn’t start with you, but it can end with you.”
Reclaim Your Life After Trauma
Let me share my personal experience.
Shame was my state of being – not of choice, but deep in my cells, deep in my sense of self, deep in my identity.
For most of my life I didn’t even recognise it, know it or understand it..
That sense of feeling unsafe, not trusting any man who came too close – not because of who they were – but because of what I now know, as a deep shame, a deep and unresolved hurt – it was the handed down, inherited, and unresolved intergenerational trauma.
This intergenerational trauma that is carried to us in the womb, through the cellular shaping and frequencies from our Mother’s, can stay with us, effect our every breath, until it is resolved, handed back and so healed for all the generations.
I was well on the path to healing some child-hood angst and pain, trauma even…
Along the healing path, always comes treasure that once found, can never be forgotten or put back.
I discovered that Both my Grand Mother’s had become pregnant out of wedlock – long before I was born, to have a child out of wedlock was a shameful and family-breaking event.
There were three options open to any woman in that situation – illegal and dangerous abortion, forced marriage or adoption.
One of my Grandmothers chose adoption (not known about till long after she was dead!), and the other chose marriage (a long and what I think, and hope, was a happy one).
I believe I had been carrying the inherited shame of these events, that both my grandmothers experienced, in different ways and with different outcomes.
I was carrying their shame, but with the privilege of generational distance, I was able to release us all from that shame.
Through healing techniques, energetic balancing and quantum epigenetics, I was able to hand back what as not mine to carry!
I was able to recognise and honour the pain and shame of my Grandmothers, and help release them of their long held heaviness on me.
I gave back to my Grandmothers what was theirs, not mine to carry, I helped them release their shame and pain, and together we moved differently, healed and cleared the intergenerational trauma, allowing the following generations to also be clear and confident.
I had a client, who’s time in the womb also was energetically formative.
Their mother lost a parent while pregnant with them – a sad time for her for sure.
The little one inside her womb, also lives with the cellular grief & sadness, the bio-chemical sadness and spirit loss.
And so, as the child grew, he felt responsible for the emotions of his Mother, of keeping her ‘happy’ and never wanting to make her feel ‘sad’.
You can imagine the effect this had on his emotional growth and ability to separate himself from her emotionally and energetically.
Once this client realised that energetically they were not responsible for their Mother’s grief, or responsible for her emotional state, they were able to let go of the burden and pressure of always having to ‘please’ her and thus be more responsible for their own emotions and life.
- The mothers bio-chemistry becomes the babies – the bio-chemistry of anxiety, sadness, anger, and of course happiness, courage, and calm.
- The environment outside the womb – the frequencies and energies of the experiences and environs – directly effect the foetus, through the frequencies that move from outside to inside the womb.
- The epigenetic and cellular changes of the Mother or Grand-Mother, are directly passed to the foetus.
Through these ‘feelings’ in the womb, the baby creates meaning and beliefs about the world and their place in it.
“I must be still”
“I must protect my Mother from pain”
“I am not safe”
These early meanings and beliefs carry on through the persons life... until it is not workable any more to carry these – until life is unbearable with these rules and beliefs… and the ‘truth’ of self must be revealed.
There is no blame here, no judgement to the Mother – just simple energetic rules of cause and effect.
While a woman is pregnant with a baby girl inside, there are three generations in the one body.
The mother, the baby girl and the eggs forming within the baby.
Three generations, three levels of meaning, three set of beliefs, three nervous system habits and responses, and three cellular and epigenetic possibilities.
And, then of course we have the Father’s genetic, and familial, energetic meanings and beliefs that come to join the party.
The child in the womb is a coming together of two family systems, two family belief systems, two energetic understandings…
So, what can you do to release these energetic intergenerational ties and early self-made contracts developed in the womb?
- Awareness is a huge start – awareness that some things you are carrying, may not be yours to carry, but the trauma of past generations.
- Learning your family history will help too – if possible ask what was going on when you were in the womb, when your Mother and Father were in the womb… go back as far as you can..
- Knowing the world or country events of the time help too – to understand the collective energetic systems and traumas.
- Finding a professional who is able to help you understand the link between these experiences and your personal life will help.
- Cutting these energetic ties is not hard, but must be practised with gentleness, precision and wisdom.
- Not only do we inherit traumas, we also inherit strengths, wisdoms, courage, resilience and love… It is important to call in these aspects of your forbears too.
- Developing a meditative or creative practice is invaluable in this work.
The three step process I work with is:
- Honouring the past, the traumas, the ties that once served you and the ancestors well.
- Processes/Modalities/structures that help release and cut these energies and belief system ‘feels’.
- Have clarity of what to replace the ‘old with‘ – new beliefs, perspectives, understandings, compassion, kindnesses, and energy.
Though it is a three-step-process, it will more than likely, take more than just three sessions... it takes time to explore with the self-enquiry, to be gently curious of past intergenerational pain and energies, and also to create the safety needed within for change.
A 3, 6 or even 12 Session Package is perfect for this work.
