Something I have learnt about life is that things aren’t always as they seem. So far in my practice this year I have witnessed a lot of ancestral support moving with my clients, yet it is hidden by our mental constructs. What I mean is this. Your physical and emotional issues may be a gift from the ancestors, inspiring you to let go of what no longer serves you. Sometimes in life we experience blessings in disguise, where life is made so uncomfortable for us that it highlights what is not working to catalyse positive change. Our minds don’t always fathom this because our culture entrains us to believe that we can do whatever we put our mind to and that the mind is in charge. An overactive or domineering mind can block the ability to access and utilise the intelligence systems of body wisdom, gut brain and a heart brain.
The soul’s wisdom speaks through the heart brain, giving us a feeling of purpose, loving awareness and compassion for self and others. The whole body has an amazing wisdom and communication system that enables us to attune to our highest potential. This system can be influenced by many energetic frequencies. One of them is ancestral frequencies, which can offer guidance and support. They can also reveal stuck patterns in the family lineage that need to be healed in order to support the children of our future. Many people’s physical ailments and big challenges in life right now, are a nudge from our ancestors to listen to their deeper wisdom to evolve and grow in greatness.
I am grateful to my shamanic and kinesiology trainings to be able to recognise and work with ancestral healing. Kinesiology uses muscle testing which is a measure of truth for the body and soul. It is a direct feedback system allowing us to access information that is true for each person. The body does not lie, and its truths can be revolutionary in evolving us to our greatness. Through muscle testing, I have been receiving communication from many souls their readiness to rise up and move beyond previous intergenerational traumas, challenges and limitations. These are the things which have held humanity back from experiencing greater love and connection. As painful as these past patterns and limitations are, they are also wonderful opportunities to release disconnection from experiencing loving power. There is still a lot more to be done in this scope, which I am excited to be a part of.
My ancestors were mostly farming folk who were dedicated to their business of farming virtually 7 days a week, year round. They faced many droughts, floods and adversities and their success was built on hard work. I have learnt that in my business, this way of operating is not sustainable, does not allow me to be my best for others and yet is a hard habit to break! Some benefits that I can take from my ancestral lineage is that they had the connection with the land to sustain them and I know that I have the connection with spiritual support to sustain me. I find that taking time each day to connect with this and with my body and its needs, has been the best thing for me. So much healing can happen and support received when we simply be, sense and feel. Some call it meditation. Some call it quiet time in nature. Some call it gardening. Some call it yoga. Some call it resting in awareness.
For me it is conversation and writing. In the morning I have a coffee with my beautifully aware and Shamanic husband sitting on our deck. We connect with each other, enjoying the garden, the birds and the expansive view across the Blackwood valley. We talk about our dreams and what is on our hearts. Some of the most profound conversations arise in this space. Then I write my gratitudes and my soul intentions for the day. This allows me to connect with what my higher self wants me to know for the day and maintains a strong connection with what sustains and supports me.
Whichever way you choose to dive into a self care practice and simply be, sense and feel, you will be rewarded. You may want to try it now. Close your eyes, be with your heart, your body and your breath. Sense what you are hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling. Connect with your emotions and your spirit and feel what this moment holds for you.

Whatever you choose to do to nourish the callings of your soul and the wisdom of your body, may it be truly enriching and illuminating. I will leave you with this quote that came from my writings recently:
Every moment is a new opportunity for proving to yourself that you are connected with your greatness. If you miss any, then there are more and more opportunities waiting.
