This truth will hopefully help you alleviate the burden of unhealed traumas and allow you to move through life with more energy and inspiration without running into the same patterns of self-sabotage or resistance.

Healing is a vague term that is not very well understood by society.

Most people out there think that healing is the thing you do when you get sick and get back to normal life. Or the time it takes for a broken arm to get better.

And while that is certainly true, that’s mostly the automatic healing process of the body.

But sometimes the body cannot properly heal itself.

It leaves behind scar tissue or it heals in sort of a compromised state and localizes a solution, but doesn’t regain the functionality that we once knew.

And similarly, when things happen to us on an emotional, mental level, or spiritual level, something similar happens in those more subtle bodies.  It leaves a form of scar tissue as well (only not detectable with the five senses!).

However, this process is a little less clear for many.

Primarily because modern science has not quite got to the point where it’s fully ready to acknowledge the things that happen on a more subtle or energetic level.  Therefore, we don’t have the advantage of fancy imaging to map this out like we do for broken bones and organ conditions.

The interesting thing is that what happens on these subtle levels are actually the causal forces that cause things to happen in the physical.  You could say, they are like a ‘blue-print’ for the design of our lives.

We exist multi-dimensionally with varying levels of density – the physical being the most dense.

Then there’s the emotional, which is more dense than thoughts.  We feel our emotions as very strong physical sensations.

The mental body is an even more fine substance.

Beyond there, there are the true causal forces – ancestral or the karmic. These layers determine the events that may play out in our lives should we not change anything.

This is typically what we call ‘luck’.

Believe it or not, certain astrological systems have a pretty good track record for predicting when difficulties or accidents will happen in life.  There’s a whole field of medical astrology which was very popular until the world began putting its faith in allopathic medicine.

Yes, our medieval ancestors knew a few more things about the nature of reality than we are currently being taught in school!

How that knowledge of future events is known about beforehand, is an awe-inspiring mystery.  However, it suggests that possibly there’s a greater design out there than our society is willing to acknowledge.

MAINSTREAM RECOGNITION OF ANCESTRAL TRAUMA

Fortunately, the attitude in the mainstream is beginning to shift as they realise that the process of healing is a very multi-layered, interconnected subject.  A subject for which there’s a very complex interplay between thoughts, emotions, genetic conditioning, and the way that it takes its toll on the physical body.

Ancestral trauma is a concept beginning to emerge into the mainstream psychological profession as researchers and practitioners are beginning to realize that the actions of our grandparents and what they went through might actually affect the way that our parents raised us and affect our own upbringing.

Obviously we know that when raising children, what we do in those first five years has a huge impact on the rest of their life.

If the way that parents are raising their children is based upon a mountain of trauma from previous generations or maybe even just unconscious patterning we know that is going to have a significant, lasting effect on the child.

So this is an obvious, well-documented way that this plays out.

However, this is just the start.

There are actually other ways in genetics that this plays out too.  For instance, we know we inherit the genetic signature of our ancestors. We know how genetics can determine the way that certain predispositions for physical ailments, hormones, and metabolic patterns are linked to genetics.

However, genes also speak into the habits that we naturally form in life, the attitudes that we carry, our ability to perceive things, develop skills, and form beliefs.

All of these factors are controlled by our genetics.  The very genes we inherit from our ancestors.

When DNA was first discovered, they thought that its configuration was predetermined and ‘fixed’.  However, since the discovery of epigenetics in the 1940’s, the research has increasingly shifted to recognise that genetic patterns can actually be re-written.

In other words, we are not at the affect of our genes if we take certain actions in life.

I know from my own experience having healed a genetic auto-immune disease by working directly with the approaches discussed in this article.  Yes, I have first-hand experience with the power of epigenetics!

From my personal experience and the experiences of clients, I’ve seen how when something chronic occurs in the physical body, it’s because there was an emotional pattern that was entrenched for a period of time.

That emotional pattern is usually underlain by a particular belief. A belief that causes our brain to activate pre-determined neurological pathways so that when external stimuli comes in, that belief gets triggered, reinforces an emotional pattern, that emotional pattern becomes entrenched.

This is typically how physical ailments manifest along this chain of events.

ANCIENT EARLY MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS

In Ayurveda, for instance, they believe that disease isn’t even detectable until about the fourth stage in its development.  An ailment starts off with a very subtle, slight imbalance caused at a level that we cannot yet measure with our modern scientific instruments.

What caused this imbalance in the first place is obviously a question to ask, especially if it is too subtle to detect…

This begs a bigger question for which everybody is going to have a different opinion.

However, in my line of work, I’ve seen enough empirical evidence to know that certain systems just work.

Certain systems that can map out imbalances at the time of birth and they can basically show us when or what the undesirable outcomes of our life and the desirable ones might be.

As alluded to earlier, before Allopathic medicine, doctors used to practise medical astrology. They look at the positioning of the stars at a person’s birth and they would be able to correlate them with different things in people’s bodies.

For this, they would be able to ascribe different treatments from the celestial diagnosis.  I suppose they needed something to make up for their lack of ability to see within the body.

In examining medical astrology, I’ve made an observation that our genes are deeply connected to what happens with respect to celestial alignments.

There’s the ancient hermetic principle “As above, so below”.  This means that what happens within us is a fractal of the things happening in the world and cosmos at large.

When we are able to recognize that planets and stars have an influence on our genetics through the subtle influence of the cosmic rays and neutrinos they bombard us with, it’s easier to see how astrology might actually be able to predict our future health.

Maybe in a couple hundred years, the tenured scientists at the top academic institutes will come around to this and start to embrace the primary role that subtle energetics has in the manifestation of the physical.

Especially when we are able to put the precision of modern (or futuristic) instrumentation to use in measuring these things.  This will obviously require a reworking of our current operating scientific models.

DE-MYSTIFYING OUR OWN HEALING

My personal work and research has shown me that there are three critical steps for making a real shift in our lives and actually creating lasting healing.

Basically, not getting stuck on a healing loop for half your life or being negatively influenced by things beyond your conscious awareness.

And what I’ve come to realise is that instead of trying to constantly address the symptoms, you’ve got to go to the core of what is actually there.

The first step is to be able to identify that core imprint or pattern that sits at the centre.  The one for which forms the initial imbalance for which the myriad of tendencies and symptoms we experience develop around.

Going from the outside in is a very confusing and long process.  It is the path most people take as they wait until an issue is big enough to derail them from life and then try to fix it.

But if we are only dealing with symptoms, something else will inevitably pop up.  And then something else.

This pattern goes on and on and it’s like a game of cosmic whack-a-mole.

However, if you start at the core and address the initial imprint, this process is much faster and cleaner.

THE 3 STEPS FOR IDENTIFYING AND BALANCING THE CORE WOUND

This process is not meant to be difficult.  In fact it is simple, the difficulty simply comes in due to the contrast that balance has compared to the conditioning that we are identified with.

The first step to healing the core wound is to identify it.

You can do this by asking yourself what is at the core of my mis-alignment from life.  You could spend a lot of time weeding through and trying to identify it.

Fortunately, there’s a faster and more elegant way.

I’ve actually created an app that identifies the core wound using an innovative interplay of human design, Gene Keys, and True Sidereal astrology.  It is able to pinpoint your particular Core Wound based on your birthday, time of birth, and location.

The answers it provides are archetypal.  It is still written as a poem – or a koan.

To truly unravel this poem does require some contemplation.

Hundreds of people that I’ve worked with have used the results of this app to tune in and to find their own personal meaning based on their core wound.

So that’s the first step – identification.

The second step is acknowledgement and allowance.

As humans, we have a tendency to label things as either good or bad.  We essentially judge them and inhibit any change through this process.

Because when we judge things, we condemn them. We create separation.

What we need to do is actually acknowledge that this thing we don’t like is okay in and of itself.

It might be out of balance, but it’s trying to find harmony in its own way.

We simply just need to give it space.

So instead of saying, “My selfish tendencies are bad!” try asking “What does my selfishness really want? What does that quality within me really desire?”.

Because obviously the problems it’s creating are indicators that something is not working in this relationship between your selfishness and yourself.

What’s this thing really after?

Give it space to respond.

Just allow it to just be without reacting or judging.

What you’ll hopefully find realise is that selfishness isn’t bad. We don’t need to end it or cut it off.

It is actually just a shadowy, unhealed part of our genetics.

That same gene causing the selfishness has different forms of expressions.  In its highest expression, it’s actually selflessness.

So that genetic expression that was once selfish can turn into selflessness and create a very strong altruistic imprint or influence in the world as a result of that.

In summary: we don’t get rid of our core wound.

We just give it space to allow it to grow and evolve as it needs to.

It’s similar to the way in which we give children the space to play and explore their world.  If we say no all of the time… well, I have a 2-year old and I know how they like to misbehave!

The final step is to invite the pattern of our Core Wound to shift.

And in order to do this, we must guide it on a certain trajectory.

Yes, there is a natural expression for each shadow to come into the light of its gift and return to the unity of a transcendent quality as well!

…These things are predetermined like a law of nature.

When we have identified our Core Wound and know where it is to go, we have harnessed the ability of the left brain to focus itself.

Many heart-led people and new agers reject the left brain, but it simply needs to be included and given the noble task of maintaining a focus to be of immense service.

Once we have focused on where our core wound currently is and where it needs to go, we give it space.  We avoid expectation or clutching it emotionally.

Space governs the capacity of the right brain.

And then we invite it to shift.

By uniting a gentle focus with the giving of space, we synchronise the two sides of the brain.

The right brain and left brain come into a measurable form of harmony, activating the central column (the corpus callosum).  This activates our pineal gland and forms coherence with the neurons in our heart.

When the heart and mind are working as one, it is a very powerful force. The heart sends out an electromagnetic signal, shifting our attitude and internal state of being. DNA is very sensitive to the frequency of our internal state of being.

Thus, this process creates a genetic shift for the better.

The more that we walk through life with this affirming attitude because we know the direction in which that core wound wants to go, we actually heal that relationship.

When that happens, we are able to finally get on with our life.  We are able to stop being at the effect of external forces and self-sabotaging behaviours.

CONCLUSION

Healing the relationship with our Core Wound is the first step in actually aligning with our deeper purpose and attracting the things we need to bring it into the world.

Introduction

Within the context of our relationships, our core wounding plays a pivotal role in shaping the quality of our interactions and connections with others.

Core wounding refers to the deep-seated emotional scars and vulnerabilities that originate from past experiences, often rooted in childhood.

Understanding how these wounds manifest and influence our relationships is crucial for fostering genuine connections and embarking on a journey of emotional healing.

Our early life experiences lay the foundation for our emotional landscape, shaping the lens through which we view ourselves and others. Core wounding typically stems from significant events or patterns of behavior during childhood, such as neglect, abandonment, or trauma. These experiences imprint lasting emotional imbalances that can unconsciously influence our adult relationships.

Impact on Self-Perception

Core wounding leaves an indelible mark on our self-perception. Individuals who have experienced rejection or emotional neglect may develop a deep-seated belief that they are unworthy of love and validation. This negative self-perception can manifest as insecurities, self-doubt, and an incessant need for external validation within relationships.

The Dance of Triggers

Unhealed core wounds often act as emotional landmines, triggering intense reactions in the present moment that are disproportionate to the current situation. These triggers can lead to conflict, misunderstandings, and an emotional distancing within relationships. Awareness of one’s triggers and open communication with a partner become essential tools for navigating the intricate dance of emotions.

Repetition of Patterns

Without conscious effort and intentional healing, individuals may unconsciously repeat patterns of behavior learned from their early experiences. This repetition can manifest in the choice of partners who recreate familiar dynamics, perpetuating a cycle of dysfunction. Recognizing these patterns is a crucial step toward breaking the cycle and fostering healthier relationships.

Vulnerability and Intimacy

Core wounding can create barriers to vulnerability and intimacy. Fear of being hurt or rejected may lead individuals to build emotional walls, preventing them from fully opening up to their partners. Developing trust and a sense of emotional safety is paramount for overcoming these barriers and allowing for genuine intimacy to flourish.

The Role of Compassion

Understanding the impact of core wounding in ourselves and our partners requires a compassionate approach. Compassion opens the door to empathy, creating a space where both individuals can acknowledge and support each other’s healing journey. By fostering a compassionate connection, partners can work together to break the chains of past wounds and build a foundation of strength and resilience.

Conclusion

In the intricate tapestry of relationships, the impact of core wounding is undeniable. Acknowledging and addressing these deep-seated emotional scars is essential for fostering healthy connections and creating a space where healing can flourish. By navigating the complexities of core wounding with awareness, compassion, and intentional effort, individuals can transform their relationships into a source of growth, support, and enduring love.
