Your Body Is An Ancestral Compass
Be gentle with yourself as you unlearn generations of people-pleasing for survival.
Are you sacrificing yourself to keep others feeling comfortable?
If you’re a people-pleaser or you’ve ever experienced codependency — you’re not alone.
These patterns didn’t start with you. The root of these patterns is actually ancestral.
How?
Instead of looking only at recent generations, it’s important to look towards ancient times in our lineages. This goes back to the level of primal survival in our cavemen ancestors and in ancient times.
Let this sink in.
Our ancestors needed to fit into the village, or they would be shunned or ostracized.
During this ancient time, to be ostracized from the community that provided resources and protection literally meant death.
This ancient fear of death and desire for primal survival is still living in our nervous systems and can manifest as people-pleasing.
That explains why it can feel SO terrifying when someone disagrees with you. It can be scary to listen to your heart over the opinions of others, or choose to do things differently than your family.
To be fully seen in your most authentic expression may feel scary because this is imprinted in your DNA from times when it wasn’t safe.
This is why many of us turn to people-pleasing, which was our ancient ancestors’ survival mechanism of fitting in.
If you see this in yourself or your lineage, this part of you is worthy of compassion. It was born from your ancestors doing their best to survive — without which, you wouldn’t be here today.
Yet after a certain point, it’s time to release these old survival mechanisms that are holding you back today.
So what’s something that we can use to help guide us?
Our ANCESTRAL COMPASS!
Your body is a sacred ancestral compass.
Your ancestors and guides are always with you, guiding you through your intuition.
You are them, and they are you. Inseparable.
The gifts, love, and power of the many wise ancestors you’ve had through time live in you.
It’s in every strand of DNA.
In your bones, blood, and womb.
In every cell of your body.
Their wisdom lives in you, passed down through bloodlines from the time of the ancients.
Your ancestors’ wisdom is not outside of you. It lives within you, waiting to be called upon and remembered.
I call upon my healed ancestors daily, and I have come to realize — calling upon them is calling upon myself.
We ask them to help us release these patterns that didn’t start with us.
From all of me, from the depths of me.
They are here to help us with anything and everything. We carry their wisdom - praise and honor the ancestral compass that is our body.
Finding spiritual guidance not only in the etheric realms, but deep in our body and the marrow of our bones.
Discerning with the eye of the heart and soul, including the sacred temple of the body as an instrument of inner knowing.
Your body is the ancestral altar.
Your body is an ancestral compass.
Your body is a loom of remembrance.
When you call upon your healed ancestors, they don’t arrive from outside of you.
They arrive from within you.
You carry them with you always.
Your ancestors’ wisdom is not outside of you. It lives within you, waiting to be called upon and remembered.
You are one, walking together, hand in hand and heart to heart.
May your inner knowing, coupled with your deep connection to the earth and to the Divine, always guide you.
And so it is!
