Breaking Generational Trauma with Shamanic Healing

Trauma is a heavy and often oppressive energy that can weigh us down and prevent us from living our full potential. It can manifest in a variety of ways, including physical symptoms, mental health issues, and patterns of behavior, and it can be especially difficult to heal when it is inherited from our ancestors. This inherited trauma, also known as intergenerational or generational trauma, refers to the transmission of psychological and emotional wounds from one generation to the next.

Shamanic healing is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures around the world that can be particularly effective in releasing the energy of trauma from the body. A healer, known as a shaman, enters into an altered state of consciousness in order to communicate with the spirit world and facilitate healing for their clients.

One of the key benefits of shamanic healing is its ability to access and work with the unconscious aspects of the psyche, where the roots of inherited trauma often lie. Through the shamanic journey, the shaman is able to connect with the spirits and bring back important messages and insights that can help their clients on their healing journey. This includes working with power animals or archetypal figures that represent different aspects of the unconscious, as well as retrieving lost or fragmented parts of the soul.

In addition to the psychological and emotional healing that takes place during the shamanic journey, the practice also has a strong physical component. The shaman uses various techniques to clear and balance the energy within and around the body, including extraction of intrusive energies and soul retrieval. These techniques can help to release the energy of trauma from the body and restore balance and harmony.

The communal aspect of shamanic practice is also important in breaking the cycle of inherited trauma. In many indigenous cultures, the shamanic journey is performed within the context of a community or tribe, and the healing that takes place not only benefits the individual, but also the collective. By healing at both the personal and collective levels, the cycle of inherited trauma can be broken and a new legacy of health and well-being can be established.

While shamanic healing may not be for everyone, it has the potential to be a powerful and transformative practice for those seeking to release the energy of trauma from their bodies and heal inherited family wounds. If you are struggling with the effects of trauma in your own life, I encourage you to consider the possibilities that shamanic healing has to offer. So, it is a great opportunity for you to break the cycle of inherited trauma and create a new legacy of health and well-being.
