Ep. 40 - Seven Generations Back

My prayer for you is that you walk away from today’s episode with a deeper understanding of what survival really is, how it has shaped your lineage, & why so much of what you carry did not begin with you.And… that you begin to see this time of chaos not just as overwhelming, but as an opening. To feel, to understand, & to consciously shift what has been passed down through generations.In this episode I’m sitting with something I think about often…. how many of us are moving through this world running nervous system patterns that were passed down for literal generations. Patterns built for survival. And what it looks like to finally tend to what was never tended to before.This one is for anyone who has ever wondered why they feel the way they feel — and is ready to understand that so much of what they’re carrying didn’t begin with them.In this episode we explore:* Why survival is a full-body orientation — not just about food, water & shelter* How our nervous systems adapt & what gets passed down through generations* A profound moment from a class with Rachelle Seliga of Innate Traditions & what 300 people discovered about how far back intact communities go in their lineages* Why so many of us never received the inner maps we needed* What it means to tend to your inner child & your lineage* The practice of holding multiple truths, yes, that hurt me. And… they didn’t have the capacity.* Why this work is not about blame, it is about tending* What it looks like to become an ecosystem within yourself* A simple practice to bless your ancestors & honor yourselfA practice to try:On a walk or at the start of your day bless your ancestors. Thank them. Give gratitude for everything they endured, carried & survived. And honor yourself for being the one who is willing to feel it, see it, & transform it.If this resonated with you:💛 Leave a review, it means so much & helps this work reach more people💛 Share this episode with someone who is ready to understand what they’ve been carrying💛 Tag me on Instagram, I love hearing what lands for youConnect with me:📱 Instagram: @reclaimwithin🌐 Website: reclaimwithin.co📝 Substack: reclaimwithin.substack.com📩 Email: reclaimwithin@gmail.comReady to go deeper?Become a paid subscriber at reclaimwithin.substack.com to join my monthly live Zoom calls where we gather & work towards Reclaiming Within together.
