I want to talk to you today about relationships. Not just romantic ones, but the ones that reflect the deepest parts of ourselves. Our blood family, soul family and partnerships are here to be our greatest teachers, to show us the crevices of our psyche and things we can't actually see on our own.
As I spend time in Tulum Mexico, I have been in a whirlwind of emotions, I am here with my beloved Kawa and my father and brother. When I got here I felt uneasy and ungrounded, I guess being in a city that has tons of water flowing beneath it can cause some unsteadiness. Much different than being on an Island made of molten lava.
The water element represents the codes of our wisdom and reflects our emotional state. As I'm here things have been stirring within me that I haven't felt in a while. I'm noticing emotions coming up of grief, unrest, frustration, and this fear of impending doom and I'm uncertain what the root of it is. As my mind tries to analyze it, I realize that being with my family I can't hide the parts of me that have been buried inside when I don't have these reflections.
The thing is, nothing has to be wrong in order for us to feel uneasy, like something is wrong. Our body holds the keys to all of our traumatic experiences, so while we do all this work to excavate the trauma I don't believe it ever leaves us. It's an imprint in our system, and the healing comes from understanding the relationship with it…
First name / Friend, have you ever been with your family and seen how much things have changed, and yet still feel the same triggers from the past?
I want to share with you how the use of plant-medicine and all of my trainings have helped me manage this experience…
Those of us who are in tune with our empathic states can understand that we feel deeply the emotional current of the people around us, and the state of the world. The key is to not take this on as our own. It is not a heroic act to claim empathic status and absorb other people's energies and traumas, in fact this is actually harming our vessel and clouding our ability to be clear channels for truth, our own truth.
That said, we can't always discern what's ours and what isn't. It takes a form of mastery that is developed over time and is definitely focused on in our Facilitator Training starting this coming Friday (with spots still open if you'd like to go deeper with this). As I teach so I learn, and even though I've been practicing this for a while the demons within still rear their ugly heads when it comes to old rooted patterns that are logged in the depths of my psyche.
So how do we manage this? How do we manage the deeply rooted triggers that these amazing people reflect to us? We can leave, we can move away from our family homes, and avoid, but ultimately all this does is fester inside and surface in the most opportune times causing dis-ease in the body.
So here are some tips that I've been practicing that are ways to manage and cope with the unrest that is now surfacing as a result of what I believe are repressed emotions that haven't been cleared because I left those reflections behind.
Witnessing the feelings of anger, frustration and annoyance, that get triggered in the smallest issues and feel like they are mountains of emotions. Can you catch it while it's happening?
Stay humble not judgmental. This is going to be your saving grace although easier said than done. When we are in those furries all we want to do is validate our experience and force others to validate them for us. Humility, compassion, and honesty will be the key to our salvation from the possession.
Recognize this isn't you, it's a possession. Yes we all have viruses attacking us and I'm talking about the mental kind, the ones that are trying to convince us that we are justified in our shitty energy (let's just call it what it is). Once we can separate the identity attachment we feel less shame and guilt for our actions and we can begin to apologize and clear the air and move towards harmony.
For me personally I have the benefit of moving through fire, passion that can manifest in anger, frustration and impatience and I'm certain that all this comes from unprocessed sadness and grief. (Can you relate?) Here in Mexico it's stronger than it's been in a while, and not because of anyone's actions, it's specifically my old programming and possessions wanting to take over and knowing that this is an opportune time to play the victim game and prey on my own self doubts.
I have been calling myself out and letting the people around me know that this isn't really me. The more I get radically honest with them and myself the less power these entities have over me, the sooner we all clear our generational traumas and psychic possessions these forces have no leg to stand on.
When people talk about a war on consciousness this is what they mean. We are too focused on our outer world to see that the war is within and that means a deep and dark possession that attacks us when we are most vulnerable.
My goal is to help people as well as myself master these possessions and know what to do with them. Yes this is what shadow work is ultimately about. So I teach this in my training, and we work with people in ceremony and mentorship. There is nothing more important to the salvation of our species than to do this type of excavation.
Going into the depths of the soul can be in Ayahuasca or through our outer reflections and honesty. Radical honesty will be the daily Plant-Medicine ceremony required to move mountains and activate our truth, our serenity and our liberation.
You with me?
