This week has been quiet. My mind is quiet, my anxiety is low. I have a lot of dreams, I play the violin, a first in a few months. I drew a few pages, and I write more. I wonder if the Happe has anything to do with that. More on that soon, but it's a powder of tobacco and other plants that I've been using for a bit. Time change means that I've now to figure out the time every day! I live on a different time zone than the other side of the lake. It makes for an annoying ferry ride; if I leave home at 8am, I arrive at my destination at 8am! As I write I realize what happened. I remembered that my suffering aren't mine, but are coming from a few generations of abuse, from father to son. I don't even know how far back that it goes. How many generations of men who have been abused by their father. I know of at least 3 generations. I barely escape the violence, but now it's in my lap, I can do something about it. For me, but also for all the generations before me and for all the generations after me. I'm waiting for a call from a healer. She deals with stuff like that. Not only she has a training in family constellation, but she is also a medium, talking very directly to people who have passed. I've never really believed in that stuff, or I never really care to make an opinion about this. But I've seen her working and I was fairly impressed. The way she was discussing openly about the stories of such and such grand-parents of my friend, as if she knew them like good friends. To realize that she was simply in communication with them at that moment. I am almost worried of what she will find. Why hasn't she called me back? Are my dark secrets revealed once she connect with my ancestor? Is my past too dark for her to work with me? When I called her on Monday, I simply needed a confirmation. She offered that, and it made me release some of that anxiety. Do I need to do more work with her? I want to keep this learning to the forefront of my process. I want to remember that these suffering are not mine, they come from a previous generation. They are in my body, but I don't need to identify with them. It's such a strange thing that I live other people's suffering from being in relationship with them, and I live other generation suffering by being their descendant. Are there self created suffering still in me? I've been working on my self-created suffering for a long time. Although I've been reflecting and observing myself for a long time, I can say that in 2002 I clearly started a process. Who did I hurt and who did hurt me? I made a list of all the tension that were in my life. I apologized to the people that I've hurt, I prayed for the people who hurt me. I went back to a cemetary where I was playing as a kid, that I desecrated multiple time, to apologize to all that were buried there. I wrote letters, reflections, I meditated, worked with my dreams to see all the hurts and the bruises and untangled a lot of that stuff. I didn't have a very dramatic life so it hasn't been too much of a process. Over the last 20 years, I've been to multiple retreats, and worked with my emotional body over and over again. There isn't a lot left to deal with. This gloomy feeling I've had for many months now feels like it's not coming from me. My two main archetypes, mother and father, both have massive hurt. A feeling of abandonment coming from my mother, and a feeling of unworthy of love, not good enough, coming from my father. It's quite the mix. How far will the generational healing need to go? Realizing that it's a generational healing already soften the blow. I don't need to go through all the generation and deal with them, but I need to recognize what is not mine. Ultimately nothing is mine, which is exactly the process of liberation. It's easy to say, but can also be used as an escape. I felt a void in the last few months and I was wondering why. There wasn't anything that I had to work on anymore, or at least nothing major. Yet there was this heaviness. What is there once you've done your work? The trauma of my family? Does it reside in my body? I read that there are stuff passed through epigenetics... How to heal from that? I need to remind myself again and again, this is not my suffering. I see it, I feel it, but it's not mine and it's not self created either. Some sort of prayer or affirmation to summarize the process... I recognize and welcome these emotions in my body. I accept them, but they are not mine. I am ready to release them, for myself, for all the generations before me, and for all the generation after me. I am healing not only my life but the life of others around me. I create a current of evolution encompassing our physicality, a clear channel, pulling in and dissolving what is not needed anymore.
