Healing the Past Today

Posted on Dec 8th, 2007 by Jim : Path Finder Jim
A new friend on zaadz, Nicole, just had a great comment on my Living Self-lessly in Body and Spirit post.  First of all she mentions that time is not linear. I totally resonate with that idea. In fact, it's pretty much a made up concept. Sure, it's helpful. If I'm meeting up with a buddy for drinks, it's good to both have the same concept of 5pm, but time can also become a cruel taskmaster (think of how workplaces use timeclocks). Regardless of practicality, time doesn't exist, and everything is actually mashed up on top of itself. That means (and this is the second part of Nicole's comment) that we actually influence the past and future from our lives in the present moment.

Are you wrapping your brains around the topic? I can go get a coffee...er, I don't drink coffee. Okay, I'll go get a hot chocolate while you're working on it.

I'm not suggesting time traveling perse (this isn't a star trek episode, and we're not looking for hump back whales (Star Trek IV for those of you who want to know)). I'm talking about the energetic resonance that flows through us, through our families and friends, and into our descendants. Sometimes, people believe that they can have no influence of those energy flows. But actually, we can touch and shift them for good of everyone past, present, and future. We can heal familial issues and influence the well-being of descendents by what we do today.

I'm still mulling this idea, so feel free to comment. I think this blog is more of an opening to chat, so chat away. I'd like to hear what you're thinking.

Yeah, its quite an exhilarating theory.   I love it.  I had a sense of it this weekend as I was in my meditation workshop.  I had memories of past meditation workshops come up which made me think about what was happening in my life at that time.  And I think this theory is why I sometimes know what is going to happen.  The first time I did a workshop, my dog was killed.  It was devastating and it became a memory that was linked with that workshop, which I just couldn't get through.  Somehow, today was that same day.  Her energy came through so strongly for me and she was with me in a guided meditation.  I had such an energetic shift from her presence.  For whatever reason I had this sense that our connection with each other today was healing the trauma of her death and that they actually occurred at the same time.  
But really more of what I think of when I think of this theory is things that are passed down through families.  I look at the patterns of abuse in families and see how each generation does their best to heal those wounds.  I'm thinking about this a lot with Christmas coming up because I'll be with family.  I want to head into those fears around family patterns and speak my truth with clarity and love to help heal those ancient wounds.  I think if I can do that with my family members it will heal my ancestors' wounds.  But really since we are all one, it will heal you and your ancestors too.
