Liberating Your Lineage: Proven Strategies to End Generational Curses and Reclaim Your Life ⋆ Earth and Water

I dunno what happened. I was sitting in my rocking chair minding my business and eating my breakfast when the word ‘anthropology’ hit me like an energetic force traveling through space and time.

Unprompted and unrelated to the quinoa in my bowl that I was focusing on. Anthropology. It swelled in me like something I had no choice but to explore.

The study of bugs? I didn’t even know.

So I did what any self respecting millennial would do. I asked google.

Turns out, I’ve been studying anthropology my entire life. I’m a non certified Anthropologist.

I’ve always questioned why people do the things they do. One of my favourite quotes from myself is something along the lines of always asking yourself who you are and why you are the way you are.

I’ve studied my family members and their histories. Analyzing every aspect of their personality. Tracing it back to our relationship.

I’ve analyzed myself and every piece of me that has thus forth presented itself. Seeking to understand. Looking at traits both physical and personality climb their way through generations.

And in this I have learned of generational curses and the stain they plague entire families with.

We all have generational curses. Not quite what Stanley Yelnats had the pleasure to break but traits and patterns passed down seemingly through genes.

Everything in life is cyclical. These cycles are going to keep repeating themselves through whole families, spreading like wildfire and destroying all good things until someone makes an effort to stop it.

And boy does it take effort.

So What are Generational Curses?

Sounds like mystical fiction. Poison apple and wicked step mom sorta stuff.

Psychology is funny though. Our minds are undoubtedly one of our most valuable assets as humans. Not to mention most complex.

There’s so much we’re still learning about how our minds work and every time we discover a new level we see how deep it just continues to grow. Rooting itself throughout all of history. Traveling through time and space to create the world we live in.

That’s all a generational curse is. A thought in a mind once upon a time that formulated a belief that may or may not have been helpful at the time, that has survived the test of time. Passed down from adult to child like a haunted heirloom.

Forever a “because that’s the way things are” with not much thought of it otherwise, it terrorizes entire households before slinking it’s way into the next.

Congratulations. You’ve been selected to break your generational curses.

You poor, strong soul. If you’re here, you are probably aware of a generational curse coursing through your family.

You’re the unlucky one to get the opportunity to break it. Why you? You seem to be the first one to both realize it exists and want to fix it. Or maybe others have tried before you and been defeated. This takes the strength of a hero after all.

Ehh.. a hero that may appear to be a villain at times. Channel your inner Itachi Uchiha and let’s go.

This journey will not be a pleasant one. I recommend preparing for it.

Recognize the single generational curse you wish to break (most of us have at least a handful)
Identify it in your other family members, tracing it’s route to you
Meditate on all it brings up for you
Make an affirmation list to ward off the demons that are going to come out to play here

Per example, if the generational curse stimulates the emotion of fear within you, you’re going to want to surround yourself with that which makes you feel safe.

If the generational curse instigates loneliness or abandonment, bring in your closest loved ones to be with you.

Explore the aspects of the curse and gather any supplies you may need in the form of correlating crystals, herbs and what have you to keep on and around your being while you navigate the rough seas of transition from one reality to the next.

Follow the Emotions

Our emotions are there to guide us. They show us what needs to be healed and where it resides in our body and life.

The only way past the trauma and into the healing is through the emotions. Fully through them. So the more you lean into them and stop trying to hold them back, the quicker and easier you’re going to get through to the other side.

This is going to look like a lot of different things depending on who you are and what you need. Try to keep coping mechanisms as positive as possible. Humor helps as well.

It’s wildly effective to have someone to help you process. We are, after all, social creatures who need to feel connected to one another.

Do be mindful though of who you lean on in these times because the person in question needs to be fully emotionally available to be able to help you. Otherwise the trauma will retreat back in and grow.

And this is what we call shadow work. Identifying and getting to know your demons so that you may better tame them. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

Acknowledging Humanity

To heal your generational curse, you’re going to have to find forgiveness. Hold on, don’t run away. I know some of ya’ll have some feelings about forgiveness but look, we’re all human and that means:

Life is a shit show for us all. FOR US ALL. Everyone gets a shit show. Handle yours with grace. Things can ALWAYS be worse.
Escape the rare psychopath, most of us are out here doing the best we can with what we feel like are good intentions.
Hurt and pain breeds more hurt and pain
The internet is new and healing your trauma became a thing less than like…50 years ago.

Before then, healing wasn’t usually an option. It’s still sometimes not an option. You know what you know when you know it and some don’t have the capacity to figure out how to heal because life keeps adding more and the hole is so deep already.

Therefore, there’s a good chance no one really had an opportunity to heal this shit before you got here and arrived in this particular moment in time and space.

So once again, congratulations on being the savior and hero for all of your future blood line. Maybe your heirs will erect a statue to commemorate you for it. I wouldn’t get to hung up on that outcome though.

So anyway, You need to forgive the line for passing it down to you. Chances are they were all just hurt people doing their best. Also, forgive yourself if you have any “shoulda, coulda, wouldas” you’re carrying around.

The healed generational curses

Moving into your new, healed reality is just a matter of continuing on your life from here. But now you’re aware of the truth, even if other’s aren’t.

You know that you don’t have to play into the story any longer.

You know that when strong emotions are triggered, they’re there to show you what still needs to be addressed.

Our job is to sit with these feelings, analyzing and breaking them down, tracing their journey to us.

Healing occurs when understanding is had and forgiveness is bestowed. When the old story is shed and a new, more helpful one is chosen.

It’s not easy work. But hey, you’re the chosen one.
