Epigenetics and Time
We live under the illusion that time is linear, however in truth it is circular and spiral( Einstein taught us this concept decades ago); thus, allowing us to move through it both forwards and backwards.
One of the best ways to time travel is in our dreams, as our conscious thinking and skeptical mind( our pre-frontal cortex) is asleep then, and our wise unconscious and body-minds are awake( our“ lizard-brain”, including our emotional limbic system and autonomic processes), allowing us easier access to times past and future. The relatively new science of epigenetics teaches us that intergenerational trauma, also called ancestral trauma or legacy burdens, can literally be passed down through our gene pool.
Who Are Our Ancestors?
Dreamwork and dream-adjacent practices such as guided meditation, trance work, and focused waking attention to signs and symbols can also bring us into a state of being where we can access our own deep unconscious, the collective consciousness, and the wisdom of our ancestral lands.
Our history is not only passed on by our biological family, but by anyone who loved, parented, cared for, or influenced you. These individuals created a matrix that contains the seeds of their hopes and dreams for the next generation as well as their pain and trauma.
The land itself holds memories, pain, and healing as well as the people who walk on it. Thus we can bring deep healing to past woundings and trauma from our own life and the lives of our ancestors.
If we can inherit trauma, we can inherit strength and wisdom as well. Your ancestors can pass on their gifts, their blessings, and their wisdom through your dreams, and their pain, suffering, and trauma can get transmitted through your nightmares.
Sometimes the pain of the past is more than can be transmuted in one lifetime, and
