🎯🔺 Intergenerational trauma:

This is never a fun one to write about, but it’s true we ‘keep’ and express the trauma of our ancestors if we do not consciously and actively work to heal it from a nervous system and neurobiological level.

This is something to pay attention to if you actually know you didn’t experience any of the above and life has been pretty darn good to you, but you are still someone who gets anxiety, gets overwhelmed easily and/or you are riddled with health troubles.

If we land on this as our reality and we realize we are carrying the genetic imprints of war, famine, and inconceivable hardships from our ancestors then, my friends, it is up to each one of us to take this information in, feel it, grieve some for those who didn’t have the knowledge we have now to heal at this deep nervous system level, and do the healing that is necessary to stop the cycles of survival stress and trauma from repeating themselves.

While it might seem unfair that we should be burdened by stuff that we didn’t have any control over, nor signed up for, it was probably the same for your ancestors as well.

This is where the concept of ‘taking one for the team’ comes in pretty handy. 🙂 Not to mention, it’s incredibly empowering to be the one in your lineage who stands up and says, ‘NO MORE.’

Remember folks—we need to feel to heal. Want some help with WHAT to know and WHERE to start? Check out my New Here page for a step-by-step guide: 🗺️ https://irenelyon.com/new-here

10 THINGS TO SAY ... instead of "stop crying"

Farewell 2022 ...

This profound message from Lynn Beisner is exactly what Magda Ge**er taught us. Couldn't love this more! Thanks to Richard Cohen’s “Zen and the Art of Early Childhood" for posting 💗💗💗

Why do we start a new year, with promises to improve?
Who began this tradition of never-ending pressure?
I say, the end of a year, should be filled with congratulation, for all we survived.
And I say a new year should start with promises to be kinder to ourselves, to understand better just how much we bear, as humans on this exhausting treadmill of life.

And if we are to promise more, let’s pledge to rest, before our bodies force us.
Let’s pledge to stop, and drink in life as it happens.
Let’s pledge to strip away a layer of perfection to reveal the flawed and wondrous humanity we truly are inside.

Why start another year, gifted to us on this earth, with demands on our already over-strained humanity.
When we could be learning to accept, that we were always supposed to be imperfect.
And that is where the beauty lives, actually.
And if we can only find that beauty, we would also find peace.

I wish you peace in 2023.
Everything else is all just a part of it.
Let it be so.
