Because it is multidimensional, the auric energy body has a more complex nature than the physical body, with a different relationship to linear time. Auric energy healing requires a sequencing of healing work in order for it to be truly effective; it does not rely on one simple event, or single surgical “operation”. In the physical world, a medical operation will remove a damaged part and close up the wound, thereby allowing the natural healing process to begin. But with auric energy healing it is the consciousness of the client themselves that evolves, from a lower stage towards a higher stage. Any development of consciousness requires time in order for specific stages to be fully completed. Time is also needed for the acceptance of what is true, which only then can lead to a sustainable internal shift in the self. This includes a change in the client perception of the problem itself. In other words, time plus integration of specific stages of development equals transformation of consciousness.

This is why I utilize the Six Session Series, a format for working with my clients which allows each healing session to build upon the gains of the previous one. So, what happens?

I will begin each Six Session Series by clearing and strengthening the client’s auric boundary, then moving on to enhancing their legs and feet into the local earth energies beneath them. The vital connections to Mother Earth – especially the chakra relational cord that connects us to the center of the living planet – are enhanced. Then, with this foundation energy flow in place, the client gains the prana and containment of energy that allows for specific chakra cord repair, and for astral clearing work.

The chakra cord work is only begun after the client and I have dialoged about the personal and health issues that now bring them to seek healing work. This dialog is an essential part of the process, almost equal to the energy work itself. Bringing consciousness to the client’s issue helps activate the necessary internal support that can be pivotal to their journey.

My assumption is always that my client is in the process of soul evolution: that they are facing the very challenge that can evoke growth (evolution) or healing (release of an incomplete growth stage.) Healing only has relevance if it puts the client back on track for their personal evolution. Of course energy healing should take people out of pain and anxiety, but it should not be minimized as a “complementary” health treatment.

The energy healer’s task is to help re-boot the client’s stuck “operating system”, so they can move on with their development. Chakra cord work can help clear away the numbed feelings, the suppressed emotion, the mistakes in emotional connection that we all make, and can reset the auric consciousness system back into a place where it can resume growth. We don’t need to bring everything into a rational, everyday consciousness state in order to do this. We only need to support the natural functioning of the auric consciousness system, and let it do its job. Shock, trauma, denial … all these things both stimulate and interrupt the natural growth process. Energy healing works towards resuming the forward momentum towards personal and soul development. While the soul is grateful for the learning process it must also learn to shed the toxic residue left by this same learning process.

The final week of any Six Session Series will include energy work with the upper chakras: Talu, Bindu, Agnya (Ajna), Crown, and the Guru chakras. By enhancing the flows and the connections we have with these higher centers we can come to understand many of the problems we struggle with, but in a new light. Insight is not just the gaining of a rational understanding; it is the connection formed from our everyday mind to our higher self.

This sequencing of Six Sessions (Auric container, Earth connections, chakra and chakra cord development, Astral clearing, upper chakra functioning) can loop again and again, each time differently deepening the overall process for the client. Always we will return to the auric boundary, to our supportive connections into the earth, to our relational cords, and to our growing awareness of our higher nature. Some of my clients have their Six Session Series back-to-back, preferring a sustained growing process, while others take a few weeks between one Six Session Series and the next one. The timing must come from within. Then, just as when we cross a river by hopping over the rocks already sitting in the stream, we can pass each developmental obstacle effectively. Healing (i.e., repair work) is only needed when we slip off a rock and almost fall into the raging river below. Evolutionary growth occurs when we make it to the other side, after having grown into our full potential during the journey. When we arrive at the end of our journey, we find ourselves as both material and energy consciousness. We find ourselves whole.

Prior to the advent of the 1960’s and 1970’s relationships had models (assumed frameworks) within which individuals could pattern themselves. Adults aligning themselves with the excepted social relationship pattern of the day (the “traditional” marriage) and then would be carried along various stages over the course of a lifetime: courtship, marriage, mortgage, children, and finally retirement. As these generational-specific social patterns have eroded over the past thirty years (resulting in high rates of divorce and family breakups) the psychotherapy model heroically stepped in to save the day. “Look at your issues”, said the psychotherapists, “and let us show you how to work through any problem in your relationships.”

Heritage chakra cords with layers, each associated with an ancestor

But one problem with this approach is that most people want others to change; very few people want to embrace significant change for themselves, or to engage in what one psychotherapist termed “The hard-work miracle”: personal development. Additionally, change is not the act of simply changing our minds and then making a new choice; many of the patterns in our relationships flow from a source other than our personal history. The apparent power that our relationship patterns have in our lives is strongly embedded and reinforced in our habitual actions. To the energy healer, these forces flow along chakra cords and are fueled by heritage-based Astral thought forms. To the energy healer your relationship issue may not be your issue: it may be a heritage/DNA one, fueled by hidden Astral energies.

Layered within each chakra cord lies your heritage habits, like growth rings on a tree, where your family patterns will await the right time and circumstances to become active in your life. When triggered, these family patterns attract a series of events or individuals into your life as a way to perpetuate their particular pattern. These repeating family dynamics are often masked from sight because they may skip a generation. Your personal life issues are most likely variations on your grandmother’s or grandfathers challenges, either maternal or paternal. In order to get to your personal development you have to peel away – and resolve – your family “karma”. This is always easier said, of course, than done.

While I am a big fan of psychotherapy as an essential tool to process our personal and relationship issues I feel more tools are needed on our transformational journey through life. We often need to clear away the energetic patterning of our ancestors so we can see the new choices available beyond our heritage habits. Clearing DNA/heritage patterns from the auric field is arguably more important than a past life healing as heritage issues are eternally present to our consciousness system, whereas past life issues are most often traumatic events left unresolved in the astral component of the auric field. Of course it is important to work through any incomplete death or unresolved life, but heritage/DNA cord work is usually far closer to home. It lives in each human cell, in real time, supported by memories held in both the physical and the auric field.

If there is a regular sequence my clients follow it is this: triage (get out of immediate danger), healing (resolve shock or trauma to the energy system, and then return to the pre-trauma developmental state), reflexive personal process (learning to work through adult personal challenges in an effective way), and then to glimpse new opportunities, which is followed by improved relationships and other events that take your life to a new and improved level. One of the keys to moving through this sequence is the awareness and clearing of heritage patterns. Think of it as a jump out of your usual outcome, and into a new evolutionary stream of development.

So, what if your relationship issues were not only your issues? How would it change things for you, to know that you were acting upon the unsolved relationship dynamics of your ancestors?

My reasons for working with this chakra are practical rather than metaphysical. I find that tremendous value is added to the overall effectiveness of my sessions with clients when (usually at the end of a Six Session Series) I encourage the etheric connections of the Guru chakra to deepen into the energetic structure of the brain, and the other chakras. The idea is to strengthen the higher nature of my client with that of their present personality: to bridge everyday consciousness with the client’s soul identity.

This can be helpful in many ways, one of which is to create greater meaning in the client’s life so as to help explain some of the challenges he or she is currently facing. Another is to deepen the acceptance of their spiritual nature, and support their search for gaining higher states of consciousness.

The Guru chakra (in the Relational Energy Healing system) is located about two inches above the head, hovering just above the Crown chakra. It is a tiny chakra, resembling an ovoid or torus shape, and seems to function as a doorway into the soul wisdom of each person. When we are born, the Crown chakra coincides with the anterior fontanel, or “soft spot”, and the Guru chakra “downloads” information into the developing brain by utilizing this physical and energetic opening. At death, our consciousness departs up through this same opening, traveling up the “tunnel of light” (Sushumna, which follows the path of the spinal cord) and into the “doorway filled with light” (Guru chakra).

Personal and spiritual growth does not only come from a mental understanding our lives; it also comes to us unbidden … through grace, or via serendipitous insight. Such changes or shifts in consciousness can flow to us more easily when the Guru chakra is energized or activated (traditionally this is done via the efforts – or presence – of an initiated spiritual teacher). Whatever activates the trigger, either a spiritual teacher or your energy healer, having the support of our higher nature can only be a good thing. Inviting connections from the Guru chakra into the energetic brain and chakra centers adds positive impetus to our journey of awakening, and towards transformation. When we are ready, the Guru chakra will help show us our path.

That is because the Guru chakra is, fundamentally, our own higher nature.

Three common symptoms of invasive chakra cord are numbing, habitual usage (resignation), and the active denial of a truth.

1. Numbing: When an invasive cord attaches to the head of the chakra it resembles a fish hook or a cord with suckers at its terminus. Like the insect bite it resembles this cord will numb the chakra, thereby restricting its natural functioning. As an example, with an invasive cord in Swadhisthana (Second) Chakra an individual will experience reduced tactile feeling in their animal (sensual) body, as well as possible immune system compromises.

2. Habitual Usage (Resignation): Some invasive cords have been with an individual most of their lives, possible put in place by a parent or other caretaker. The invasion effects (energy drain, lack of freedom or personal development experienced in adulthood) are now considered inevitable or karmic by that person: the individual simply cannot imaging a life without being controlled, or drained.

3. Active Denial: One of the major hurdles in personal development work is the psycho-emotional structures that support denial in our lives. The truth of our situation can be clearly seen by another who is outside of any denial system, but those within the system will actively work to refuse to acknowledge what is really going on. Invasive cords that support denial are often group (shared identity) cords; everyone in the family or group agrees to agree on the same view of reality. This type of  networked cord system commonly supports political propaganda, for instance, or efforts that are designed to keep our attention from wandering where it really should go; to the discovery of an important truth.

Removing invasive chakra cords should bring significant results into an individuals life, usually in the form of increased energy, more awareness about the life issue the cord represents, and individual freedom of choice. It is also essential for spiritual development of all kinds, as we must be free to grow in our own direction and not be induced to support the agenda of others. Once the cord is removed the chakra will begin the return to its natural and healthy state, slowly improving the mental and emotional lives of the former victim. They will resume their spiritual evolution, now unfettered by the outside influence.

Invasive cords are those that most energy healers will intuitively attempt to “cut”. But my preference is to remove the invasive cord at its terminus, rather than attempt to traumatize the energy body even further with “cutting” techniques. After cord removal an individual will have much more prana available for their energy system, which is now available for satisfying life pursuits, relationships, or personal and spiritual evolution.

If psychics could consistently predict the future with a more than 50% accuracy rate it stands to reason you would have a lot of extremely wealthy psychics walking around. But it is the business and the banking professionals that are currently harvesting our planetary wealth, not the psychics.

In understanding global affairs we may hold the same assumptions as held by many psychics: the common belief that the world mostly unfolds naturally, rather than being influenced dramatically by outside manipulative forces.  If you innocently believe the world unfolds rather than being significantly shaped by hidden agendas you will assume that all outcomes have an equal chance. You will strive to be fair in all your dealings. But the hidden manipulation of any event is not designed to be fair in return; if it is biased, if the game is rigged, then your innocence is being used against you.

And this is why I believe predictive psychic readings do not tend to be very helpful: the time line is constantly being changed and shifted, due to underlying agendas beyond our everyday awareness. Also, if you are organizing around a future event (the prediction) your energy will move away from the creative present moment and into the future. Your life will become future-orientated, not now-time-orientated.

Spotting patterns and trends is a powerful way to see how you are being used, manipulated, or “farmed” by another, or by a group or national energy field, and can lead you to begin to change the rules of the game to your benefit. It will help you to awaken to the truth of things, rather than continue to allow yourself to simply be a resource for others, often at great cost to your own needs.

To distinguish our Relational Energy Healing approach to psychic readings from other psychics I’ve renamed it as a Psychic Trend Analysis.

The Psychic Trend Analysis is about trend-spotting, not about psychic prediction. If we apply the three levels of the Astral world consciousness, and chakra and chakra cord functioning to an analysis of the existing patterns in our lives we can begin orientate ourselves in a new way. We can gain fresh insights into our lives.

Psychic Trends Analysis has three levels:

1 . At the Lower Astral level, trends follow the non-conscious unfolding of archetypal and primal energies running through your individual, family, and social templates. This is your personal energy system under the influence of Lower Astral energies.

2. Many current trends in our lives are made to occur, and follow a hidden agenda to actively change your life to be in service of the other. This is the realm of the Middle Astral: the manipulation of consciousness and events to produce a required outcome. Moving from innocent victim into informed adult shifts your life tremendously once manipulative trends are spotted. Any confidence trick will only work if you are unaware of it. Once awake and alerted, the con trick loses its power over you.

3. There are greater spiritual trends at work, possible best described as the higher spiritual perspective, those which can lead us towards greater evolution and spiritual growth. This is the influence of the Higher Astral.

Trending at the Lower Astral level is useful to us in our everyday lives, because it helps us place our lives in context, and orientates us towards getting the support we need, the relationships that need to change or grow, or to help us in move in a certain direction. For instance, if I consciously know I am in a contraction phase, where I am integrating and letting go of the past, I can actively participate by bringing my attention into letting go, and cleaning out my symbolic closet of all those things ready to be released from my life. Or, if I know I am in an expansion phase, and suddenly life is spontaneously full of wonderful opportunities, I can work extra hard to maximize that opening. Riding the wave of expansion will brings bounty and prosperity into my life, to balance the previous contraction wave.

Trending at the level of the Middle Astral is harder for the mind to grasp, because it requires a huge leap into the understanding that the world is not unfolding naturally; many events in the world are created, or contrived, with a dark agenda underlying them. A clear example of this is what has been termed disaster capitalism, where corporate interests swoop into a natural (or man-made) disaster, and take advantage of the trauma and disorientation of the local populace by buying up their resources, such as land or property (see Naomi Klein’s “The Shock Doctrine”). Similarly, wars don’t just happen but are manufactured by the powerful groups running a country, and are usually triggered by a false-flag event to provide the excuse to attack another country so as to steal their resources. Anyone familiar with the tactics of the childhood schoolyard bully – who provokes you so as to give a “justified” response – will recognize this common trend pattern, even when applied at the global level.

At the Higher Astral level we have to look at long-term trends using the span of previous lifetimes. The context of this life-time as seen through the eyes of our soul growth may help an individual understand why they seem fated to move through specific experiences, and why they gain particular knowledge about themselves.

If we do a Psychic Trend Analysis of these three domains: Lower Astral trends (at the personal level), Middle Astral trends (what is being manipulated in us by others), and Higher Astral trends (incarnational events that reflect our evolutionary or spiritual growth).

In a 90-minute Psychic Trend Analysis Session we explore these three domains in your life, and look at where you are in regard to your life right now, and the Lower, Middle, and the Higher Astral. This should allow or help you to orientate yourself in a new way, and head in the right direction in your life. If we are lost all we need is a light, a compass, and a map. Then, we can begin to find our way home.

Many of the events in life that stress or shock us also offer an opportunity for us to grow as individuals. Psychotherapy is at its best when working with those clients who have undergone significant trauma and have difficulty with a reflexive personal process: resolving a shock or an invasion into the consciousness system. But, for those ready and able to take a more advanced step forward, stressing or shocking events can be actively used to grow many useful parts of ourselves, and to help evolve our personal development. Shocks or challenges to the self, experienced as a part of everyday living and our relationships, are rarely comfortable lessons. The impact of many life issues causes tremors in the chakras and their cord system, but methods that help integrate a small crisis (such as the reflexive personal process) can transform these shocks into life-affirming occurences.

Significant trauma is best healed with psychotherapy and with body-centered modalities; mild shock and non-debilitating trauma can utilize the reflexive personal process, but it pressumes that an individual can:

* Feel – and experience – the full impact of the challenging event upon his body, mind and emotions

* Choose to open the heart chakra, to forgive, and even to give what has been take away as a gift to the perpetrator, effectively ending the relationship of victim/perpetrator, and closing down the chakra cord connection

* Take back into the heart chakra, and the self, the cause-and-effect life lesson that lead towards any enhancement of consciousness; that which fill the cells of the body with restorative life force. This self-anchoring event brings the self back into itself via chakra self-cords, resulting in an enhanced experience of individuated self.

An easy way to do reflexive personal process is to begin by initiating a therapeutic dialog to uncover what happened, how it felt to you, and what this event could potentially teach you about yourself, about others, or about the process of living. Then, you move directly towards energizing the solution, rather than sifting through the many details (or explore the varieties of repetitions) of the problem.

Finally, you can use your breath, and the intentional focus of your mind, to actively release the energetic hold that the trauma (or shock) has on your body. Energy work can help tremendously to boost the effectiveness of this process. Also, breathe into Anahata, the heart chakra, while freely giving away that which was “stolen”, and knowing that the lesson you have gained will lead you towards a renewal experience. Whatever is taken from you usually can be replaced, and perhaps even return greatly enhanced. Any symbolic “death” – the resistance to inevitable change – does not have to be the end; it can lead to a rebirth, and to an enlivened experience of the living in the body.

If a client is unable to feel the impact of the lesson in the body-mind they will need remedial psychotherapy work to address the trauma and associated restrictions before they are able to move into such reflexive personal process work. If I cannot feel my emotional identity, if I have lost my basic trust, then I may be unable to open the heart, or to give away that which has been “stolen” from me. Only the generous and kind heart can do this. If my heart is emotionally damaged I may be unable to move into universal love: the healing energy that washes everything clean.

And, finally, if I am angry, or stubbornly identified with being a victim, then I may not be able to take any solution into my heart as a lesson, because it leads inevitably towards the letting go of the unconscious energetic connections with my abuser. If I am still angry, we – victim and perpetrator – will remain attached together, even if the offender has been long absent in our lives, until I choose to embrace a new solution to my problem: to let go, to forgive myself and the other, and thereby to be released, and re-birthed into a new life.

Reflexive personal development also dissolves illusory polar opposites into life-enriching choices, helping us overcome the compulsion to choose only one of two options. We are all partly good and bad, partly right and wrong, partly male and female, and so on. Identifying with one polarity against the other maintains any struggle and, by association, the traumatic relationship. By developing the individuated self, by opening the heart, by choosing to give away (or surrender) what was stolen, and ultimately by taking into the heart the lesson thus revealed, we can bring enhanced life force into our lives. And, when we have this, when we are reborn, we can then return to the life journey that was interrupted by the trauma. We can resume our journey forward, into a future co-created by ourselves and by life, rather than a life organized around the reaction to growth-stunting trauma.

Similarly, we have chakra self-cords (internalized connections that help create our self identity) that anchor us to our inner energetic identity. In Relational Energy Healing the wiring of chakra cord connections (and our relational life that flows from these connections) also depends upon the Astral world: the fourth-dimensional reality that dances creatively with the material world. The fluid nature of the Astral energies balances the fixed layers of evolutionary progress hardwired into the chakra system. We see the Astral worlds as being essential to the creative expansion of the universe – and to we human beings – as it tirelessly creates novel ways to express reality, and to constantly challenge the consciousness held in our comparatively rigid and past-orientated chakra structures. The Astral modifies rigid structures of consciousness in order to evolve them.

Relational Energy Healing seeks to dance between these two expressions of the universal consciousness: structured relational energy connections (chakras and their cords), and the Astral energies that flow around them. Roots and wings are both needed for us to grow, and to heal our past wounds, or developmental challenges. This form of healing uses an evolving map of the chakra system that combines the wisdom of the East with important new developments in psycho-spiritual growth as taught in the West. It seeks to understand how consciousness grows through specific stages and states. And it looks to where any stage may be blocked, undeveloped, or traumatized, and where energy healing can effect a change. By clearing the auric energy system (including heritage/DNA cords, and past life trauma) of hindrances, or by “rebooting” any challenged state of consciousness development, Relational Energy Healing trusts that an individual can resume their impeded journey through life: to continue the evolution towards their true and authentic nature.

This system of energy healing seeks to re-initialize an individual’s chakra system, rather than to focus on solving any “problem”. It is not psychotherapy. It is a reflexive personal process system, as well as a trauma healing process. Our agenda is to orientate psychic healing work around the solution rather than the problem, in contrast with other healing systems that attempt to understand or to “process” an issue with a client. For Relational Energy Healing insight into any issue does not ultimately heal a client; it is only by clearing the hindrances in their blocked consciousness system that anything will significantly shift for them. Once this form of healing work has been applied our reward is to watch an individual move naturally into the next level of their personal or soul development. The human mind may later look back, to understand what has happened to them, but this is done from already standing in the place of change, rather than the position of hope. Insight without any real change only offers us unactivated potential; actual change presents us with a meaningful perspective, and adult choices. And, when we have a choice, we are free to evolve to the very limits of our creativity.

The Japanese language translation of my article on chakra cords is posted here. More Japanese articles coming soon!

This is not just about a contract with a personal (or a business) partner. This may also be an unspoken agreement to play a certain role in your family. It could even be a contract with yourself: to only allow a certain part of your self to be seen by others. But if a law court can decide if you have entered into an unfair legal contract, and then dissolve it for you, how can you make a similar stand for fairness in all your personal relationships?

An example of dealing with contracts can be seen in the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) UK regulations regarding Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations (Online document is here). They state that when a consumer enters into a contract that they later discover is unfair towards them the OFT can, firstly, assist the consumer in renegotiating that contract to bring it into alignment with the legal acceptance of fairness. Can you do that with any unfair relationship in your life? Perhaps begin by writing out the “contract” between yourself and your significant other, to actually put it on paper, and see if it meets a generally accepted level of fairness?

One statement in OFT document caught my eye: “If a part of a contract is found to be unfair the court will not allow the company/business to enforce that part of the contract. The law also says that if a company or business tries to exclude liability or responsibility for themselves under a contract, that this may be unfair, and in some cases lead towards making the contract null and void”.

What if you looked at your existing (or previous) relationships through the same lens as contractual law? Relational connections do hold a powerful energy of intention, deeply affecting your consciousness down to the soul level. Relationship contracts are a big deal. Are your significant other “contracts” fair? If not, can they be renegotiated? And, if it turns out the contract was unfairly weighted against you from the beginning, and that the other has no intention of redressing any unfairness, can you ultimately take the personal power to declare that the original relationship contract between you is now null and void?

If a human system of legal contracts can do that with an unfair business contract, then I – as an embodied soul attempting to grow and thrive – should equally be able to end any dysfunctional or toxic relationships in the same manner. I will need to go through a process to access the issue and then to take appropriate action. But not to end such a relationship is emotional slavery.

And can you be contracted into slavery under law?  “If a right to perpetual service can be acquired lawfully at all, it must be acquired by one who is free, who is sui juris, and competent to contract … but there could be no doubt, but such a contract (perpetual service) with a person in a state of slavery would be absolutely null and void.” (Sir William Blackstone, from Commentaries on the Laws of England, Vol.1)

Perpetual emotional slavery – any unfair relationship contract – can only be kept alive by your participation in that contract. Let us declare unfair and toxic contracts null and void, so that we can release the drain on our life force, and move on with our lives.

Except that my grandfather died in the late Sixties, when I was twelve years old. My father died in 2003, of lung damage, the results of a lifetime of smoking. This family meal would never take place. I was waking up from an early morning dream where, for a few minutes, I felt clearly the way it was to be with my father, to speak with him, and to see his face. Talking to him in this way seemed like a lifetime ago, rather than only the passing of a few short years.

We all have dreams like this one, a dream that feels so very real.  Despite decades of scientific research, the human mind remains a mystery, and we still don’t fully understand how the brain produces conscious thought. But we do know that, to keep us sane and rooted in the present moment, the brain continually creates dreams.

The interpretation of dreams has long been the bedrock of any spiritual or personal journey, as chronicled from Shakespeare to Carl Jung. Dreams suspend the assumptions of our conscious self and set us free from the restrictions of physical reality. In this dream from my unconscious I was still attempting to bridge the schism between the generations in my family; trying to heal a long-standing feud between my father and his father. This family split had its roots in my father’s teenage loyalty to his own mother when he took on the role of pseudo-father during my grandfather’s necessary absence from England during World War Two. My grandfather had served in the British military, and in 1945 returned from the African war front to discover his family role usurped. My family never truly recovered. In fact, the same heritage pattern remains embedded in my family history today. Only in this modern version I play my grandfather, and my father’s role has been assumed by my adult son. It is a pattern as solidly embedded in my family heritage as my genetic code. But now I know that family traumas repeat themselves not because of our conscious choices but because they are programed into the family heritage relational code, into our relational chakra cords. These patterns provide the script, and we become the unconscious actors in our dramas of our lives.

How to change these patterns? First we must become aware of them, to know our family history, and to actively seek where our lives are following in the footsteps of a parent, or a grandparent. But even without that information we can still intuit the existence of an old pattern by the deeply disturbing effect it has on our lives, and have them verified by a psychic. As in a vivid dream we may come to notice how we are playing a role in the unfolding drama of our family heritage, where nothing we say – or can do – changes the outcome.

The act of dreaming itself is the true meaning of the dream, of course, not simply the interpretation. Facing what is true discharges the repressed reality of our situation, allowing us to consider new options for ourselves. The dream may seem to point the way towards some salvation, a redemption through an act of some kind. But the far deeper healing available to us is the energetic release of any emotional charge long held in the heritage genetic pattern. We must come to live our own lives, and not duplicate the lives of ancestors long dead. Yes, I do miss my father, but I still cannot save him from his own life choices, even after all my years of study trying to understand personal growth. But I can release my own naïve effort to try and save him. Instead of trying to telephone my grandfather in order to rescue my father from his pain I can initiate a new choice. I can simply go ahead and “prepare the family meal”; those who choose to come will come; the rest will live their lives as they wish. I learn to accept the truth that I cannot save anyone from that which they cannot face in themselves. The greatest healing we can experience is always that of letting go of our unconscious patterns… and then to move on to make a new choice.
