Healing Recollections
I had been thinking on where this was all going to lead onto, knowing that my experiences of and with healing were not all contained in Essiac and cancer. This morning as I go thru my mail I find this from an astrology site I look into now n then - all ways can be tools to us in finding our way in this life.
The Sun is in close alignment with Mercury to inspire an in-depth examination of personal experiences. Mercury, ruler of the thought process and communication, stimulates us to have better self-awareness with respect to our past. Knowledge is power. Without understanding, we cannot outgrow habits and strategies that no longer work for us ... and our personal power cannot develop.
Even if we don't realize it, we all carry emotional scars from childhood to some extent. No family is perfect. How family members and authority figures treated us as we grew up affects our self-image for a long time, and all of our relationships today and into the future.
So that explains all this reflective thinking and I agree with the sentiments; it's not about blaming someone or another for our troubles now, everyone gets some shitty times in this life there is no getting away from that little fact, BUT, it is about HOW we deal with them. Much of what happens in our childhood isn't from deliberately unkind people, just folks trying to do their best by their codes of conduct - lets face it it is only in very recent years that it has began to seep into the mass consciousness just how much the words and disciplines affect and shape our lives - so there is an awful lot of us on the planet today, in the so called civilised societies that are wrestling with inner turmoil.
Me along with a lot of other women have had many problems with periods - to me this is just a symptom of our own confusion of what we are, again there has been many many very fast changes made in society and how it now views women but the women are still psychologically trying to catch up - I am sure if I wised up about this years ago I could have saved myself a lot of agro which resulted in a hysterectomy at 34 - I noted also the pattern inherited from my Mother so when dawning did occur, I realised most healing is about breaking patterns and cycles it's funny how many daughters mimic their mother's life without even being very conscious of it; not all I know but so many do - just look around.
