ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW MUCH YOUR FAMILY’S PAST EFFECTS YOUR PRESENT?

Wanda Buchleitner-Garstad • August 31, 2016

It is said that as we are born into a family, that we inherit not only our biological genes but also our belief and behaviour systems. Further more, the hurts, traumas and impactful events that have happened deep in our families history can also show itself in our lives.

For those of us who have chosen to take action in healing ourselves for any number of reasons, this can be a revelation. One of those aha moments that we pray for when what we are trying to heal within us seems bigger than ourselves or when the core of the issue is not showing up in our own life experiences. Sometimes our first place to look is at our past life issues, if that is your belief system, but this is only one of many places to go exploring. Consider Ancestral influence.

Sometimes we find ourselves encountering experiences or repetitive behavioural patterns that continue to persist in spite of our repeated attempts to find release and heal through various therapies and healing techniques. From the standpoint of Family of Origin Constellation Therapy this is viewed as an entanglement in someone else’s experience, heart ache, pain or the phenomena of assuming the suffering of our ancestry lineage. When a trauma has been denied, suppressed or unhealed it is possible that it will show up in later generations as a way to bring awareness and healing within the lineage. Taking this on as a soul coming into the world as you step into your family energy field can be quite an undertaking without any awareness of how it effects the undercurrent of your life and your current families dynamics as well.

Longings, depression, addictions, behaviour patterns, suicides and attempts, unwanted pregnancies, abortion, loss of children, miscarriages, life-threatening accidents or illnesses (both physical and mental), murder, war, prisoners and refugees etc. are all examples of some of the seemingly inexplicable patterns and reverberations that might recur within a family lineage. We can carry those unresolved issues in our bodies, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, as a result it can show up in our lives in countless ways.

It is a sad fact that many of us no longer care for our Dead, care for our Ancestors or have stories, memories passed down or awareness of our family lineage much further back than our grand parents. This can be seen as an immigrant issue as well as a death phobic society issue among other limitations.

The saving grace is that our Souls and Ancestors have memory beyond our human awareness, that what ever we haven't healed will always come back around one way or the other for us to shift it, and this is one of the ways we have the opportunity to raise our vibration personally, as a family energy unit and also ultimately as a collective. Our current family’s energy field holds the awareness and ability to change and heal old patterns that no longer serve us as individuals, families, communities and even as a human race. This is how we make things happen, one step at a time and keeping it simple. As we explore our options on our personal healing path this is a great way to see and feel first hand the beauty of healing our life and something bigger than ourselves. This is a gift.

It is said that when we heal ourselves we heal 7 generations past and 7 generations in the future. I would like to think that it reaches even farther than that, as I do this work it feels very likely. Imagine the possibilities of cleaning up just one of these entanglements for ourselves and for our Childrens Children before we become their Ancestors. What a wonderful way to be of service.As you can see, this is a passion of mine, however I am bringing this forward for more than just awareness. Please see the attached flyer for details on a upcoming workshop in September facilitated by myself and Cheryl Traxler. We would love to see you there!!

A Girl and Her Horse
By Wanda Buchleitner-Garstad September 30, 2019
In 2018, I had the honour of meeting a young woman who had just taken on her first rescued horse. The mare she adopted had been neglected, a solitary life in a small stall and showed signs of other abuse. Even though this mare had endured this situation and had no trust, she still showed kindness, this was a good sign for her new owner and an encouragement to help support this beautiful 4 year old quarter horse to find a different way to live.
The Beauty of Fall is upon us !

With fall comes a shift from the busy buzzing of summer, to grounding, deepening in self and life. Without that grounding, the winter can be more difficult to sustain physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

In February I had the privilege to be asked to assist a family with the memorial arrangements for their be-loved family member. His name was Art and as I got to know his family for the first time, I also got to meet a precious soul who touched me with his character, humour and tenacity.

With spring comes profound growth, new challenges and the beauty of transformation. This is the time of the quickening, when we become aware of nature waking up, seeds sprouting, herds of animals collecting, connecting, birthing and we awaken from the Dream Time (Winter) to take action on what we have seeded in our Dreaming. If we are aware and connected, we are experiencing the universe responding. With each action we take, the Universe responds.

This session started as many of them do, the client comes to me with a need but an inability to articulate what is truly at the core of their difficulty. Her intention was to remove what was blocking her freedom.

Make yourself comfortable, sit down, make sure that your feet are on the ground, and then take a deep breath. As you breathe out, you may breathe out all the thoughts and experiences of the day. And just allow yourself to relax. Just being with yourself.
